Currently working on
[edit]Random WikiProject Algae pages
[edit]- Commonly patrol the cleanup listings for the project
- Otherwise I pick pages at my whimsy, trying to focus on improving Stub articles
- Also working on improving Chloroplast to Good article status (see discussion on the Talk page)
Updating the List of members of the National Academy of Sciences
[edit]- See my NAS_Scientists subpage for details on the project (and lots of red linked, definitely notable scientists)
- I started this project as a good "new to Wikipedia" project that I stumbled across, but as a certified achievement hunter, I'm committed now
- Also seems to be a good way to identify notable scientists that do not have pages yet
Future pages and projects
[edit]- Gloeomargarita - genus from which chloroplasts evolved[Note 1] I'm shocked this doesn't already exist (although Gloeomargarita lithophora does at least)
- chromatophore (endosymbiotic organelle) - not to be confused with chromatophore—pigmented cells in some animals—or chromatophore—the membrane associated vesicle in some bacteria. (This may just be a part of reworking the Chloroplast article, hence no red link)
- Patrick Kociolek - BLP; phycologist and primarily a diatom taxonomist. I have pretty substantial WP:COI, so if I do write this article, it'll be quite a while down the road.
- Aquaculture of giant kelp - clean up and expand someday
Endosymbiosis Project (theoretical)
[edit]- this is my primary area of expertise and I'd love to create a category for obligate endosymbionts[Note 2] (e.g. Buchnera aphidicola )
Draft and WIP Articles
[edit]None currently
Other Red Linked Scientists of Possible Notability
[edit]- Nellie Carter (or Carter-Montford) - deceased; British botanist - botanical garden ref; book 1, book 2, New or Interesting Algae from Brackish Water, JSTOR search
Miscellaneous
[edit]a list of (some of) my favorite random pages
Footnotes
[edit]- ^ Highly simplified language for brevity. As always, this is sort of like saying "humans evolved from monkeys" (or my preferred way of saying this incorrectly, "monkeys evolved from humans")
- ^ Possibly restricted to non-pathogens and possibly host-beneficial. This is a hard line to draw and one day I'll publish a full on opinion/review in a peer-reviewed journal. Just give me 5-10 business years.
