I have been interested in this topic for ever, but became motivated to analyze it more carefully when I realized my son's grade 9 science text made little sense talking about immunology and WBC types. Why not clarify the material in my own mind, and what better discipline than to write/edit/contribute to a Wikipedia article!!!
Here are my initial aspirations for the lympho article, which I would hope someday to achieve- and within Wikipedia guidelines!!!
- Make it as good as the transcription factor article.
- Let it connect to and be connected from great articles
- Make it useful and understandable to a smart high school student, or normal university student
- Make it a good overview/survey.
- Include a specific overview/survey section.
- Leave no unexplained jargon
- Define it before you use it
- Set up the hyperlinks/wikilinks carefully
- Make this a solid (amateur) contribution to the study of immunology
- Make it so that when an expert reviews, it clarifies/organizes his/her thoughts on the subject
- Remove all semblance of arrogance or ego
- Make it easy for the article to be updated or improved
- Simplify, yes. But make it so that anyone who is curious or needs detail can get all they want... easily
- Include recent *confirmed* research from quality sources
- Ask an expert or two for oral/written input.
- Add original exciting graphics. Cut/paste/redraw; draw
- Include footnotes for some of the complexity.
- Remove some detail, move to the footnotes
- Move some complexity to another specialized article
- Move some complexity to another specialized article consisting of a big list or set of lists
- Questions that come naturally to mind from the text should be answered soon and in sequence
- Write an Article B on the history/development of Article A
- Have a section on where the field is going; have commentators predict
- Make High School textbooks on the topic obsolete, ho ho
- Create a test(s) on the article or related articles taken together!!
- WikiTest for WikiCertification!!
- Include the answers to USMLE questions into articles
- More text books or survey artiles, fewer research papers from journals
