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
