Question about molecular biology editing

Hi Joelle, like you, I’m also a molecular biologist… to be… I’m working on my PhD at Oregon. It’s nice to meet you 😊

I plan to mostly edit on molecular biology topics and was wondering if you might have some advice for how to get started looking for articles I can edit and how I can find things that might need to be sourced? Are there categories or can search for things that might interest me? Just thought someone with a lot more experience might be able to help 😊. Marskven (talk) 00:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Marskven, welcome to Wikipedia! I think the Biology Wikiproject may be a good general resource although I'm not sure how active it is. There are lists here of biology articles that might need better sourcing or summarizing, and this project is generally concerned with articles that need more references (all the articles in this maintenance category are grouped by tagging date here, and in each date subcategory there is the option to filter by topic). I actually don't edit that much in molecular biology topics, however I am very familiar with the sourcing standards for biomedical topics, which are critical to understand when editing in that area, so if you have questions feel free to ask!

Nomination of Where is Kate? for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Where is Kate? is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Airline destination lists

100% agree with your comment at DELREV about this. That AFD was woeful, and really makes me think that RFCs on what content should or should not be included in Wikipedia are worthless if AFD closers aren't going to give them any weight. FOARP (talk) 14:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

@FOARP yeah, I really regret not noticing that AfD when it was open. Apparently it's not enough that P&G-based arguments were almost entirely absent from the keep side; closers also need multiple !votes spelling out the fact that those articles currently fail multiple policies and thus cannot be retained unless keep !voters demonstrate the sourcing generally exists to bring them up to policy. That's on top of clearly not meeting NCORP and directly violating a well-attended RfC. JoelleJay (talk) 21:57, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
