Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 23:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Dear Chemical and Bio enginieers! Lately there have been some examples of pages where chemists (in a non-engineering sense) and engineers worked together to write articles, which are very important in both fields. In two of these examples this has resulted in a clash between interests. The simple analogies, added from the chemist-side were described as 'cracking jokes' and 'comic strips'. Though I do understand that chemical engineering is more difficult to explain to the normal public, I do firmly believe that that is supposed to be the target of our work on wikipedia. If a subject is so specialistic, that the man in the street would not understand the article, or even would stop reading after the first sentence, maybe we should consider not even making it into an article on a wikipedia, but on specialised mediawiki's. This does not mean that we can not have these subjects here, but it means that the introduction of an article will have to be written in a simple tone, with simple mathematics, using simple schemes, and maybe even simple analogies, giving a good introduction to the subject. Later sections in the article can then be of the high-level, specialised talk which is needed to explain the deeper parts of the process. This will enable the man in the street to at least understand why e.g. hydrodesulfurization is so important a process. To continue with this example, this article looks like a typical example of a page where a non-chemist (and even a professor in human psychology) would not even understand half of the first sentence, let alone understand why this would even by an article on this wikipedia, I would even stop after the first two sentences, and I know why this is an important process, but this article does not invite to read on. And then a professor in chemistry has rewritten parts of it lately, and that has been quite an improvement!
I would like to hear some thoughts of you about this, thank you for your attention! --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:47, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
I was a little bit hesistant in particpating in this project because both Chemical and Bio Engineering had been combined. While I am quite confident in my ability to better the bio/biomedical engineering projects, I am not confident in my ability to assist with chemical engineering project (I don't even know which chemical engineering articles to identify as being part of our project). Before things get going further, I definately need some assistance on the chemical engineering side of things. As time goes on we may need to re-evaulate the merits of lumping these two fields together. (I vascilate between spinnging the categories off seperately, or adding additional engineering topics to make a mega engineering wikiproject.) Also we need to think about things such as new stub categories, biographies of notable chemical and biomedical engineers, etc. I have only been on wikipedia several months, so to me the task of building this project from scratch is quite daunting. I would really appreciate guidance from other users on where to start and what has been successful on other projects. I can't do all of this on my own, but before we dive into this project we need a better plan. For example, tagging articles without a template that puts them into a category for this wikiproject has resulted in articles which are labeled as part of the project, but without a mechanism for other project members to locate these articles.

As to suggestions, first I would create a list of all the related or sister projects and umbrella projects. As a guide, on how to improve this page, I might follow: Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology, e.g. add a hierarchical definition header, put a paragraph at the top of the page, etc. Someone should make a user box to like the one below: --Sadi Carnot 05:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

BMES recently published a request for the NRC to consider expanding the taxonomy of BME research doctorate programs [1] (see page 10). The list is as follows:
Since BME is such a huge and diverse field I think we need some smaller subcategories to build out on. I would like to propose that we use this as a guideline to define the field of Biomedical Engineering. Please share any additional thoughts or missing areas that definately belong in the BME field.

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I have added ((WikiProject Chemical and Bio Engineering)) tags to the Talk pages of both the Oil refinery article and a new Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium article I wrote, since they are both topics chemical engineers work on; for these Talk page links see Talk:Oil refinery and Talk:Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium. So many chemical engineers work at oil refineries, which are essentially large chemical plants, that I am considering adding Oil refinery to the list of 15 core chemical engineering articles on the WikiProject page. There are still 5 blank spaces left for core chemical engineering articles in this list. H Padleckas 03:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I do not feel this is appropriate in an encyclopedia entry. It is the sort of thing you find on a web-page advertising the profession, not a dispassionate look.

We have a perfectly good template to put in talk pages to let others know that the article is within the scope of chemical and/or bio engineering. So lets use it. Start putting it on other pages that would be good for chemical engineers to review. As an added bonus, it will bring other engineers to the project. For example, why is it that Heat exchanger does not have our wikiproject on its talk page? I remember spending a good portion of my heat transfer class learning about heat exchanger design.

As Bioengineering is listed as within the scope of Wikiproject Chemical and Bio Engineering, I thought I would mention this proposal here to get some feedback.

There’s a good number of people, e.g. Kww (talk), Tim Vickers (talk), Coren (talk), among many others, who have expressed desire to have me permanently banned from Wikipedia for writing on the subject of the “human molecule”, efforts of which resulted in a one year ban on me, back in 2007. To exemplify one objection, as expressed by Coren earlier this year: “You seem to ignore, Mr Thims, that Wikipedia is not the proper venue to document your novel theories.” The central problem here is that this is not “my novel theory”; but rather the theory dates back over two hundred years, with over ninety different people publishing content on this subject:
There have been at least six books written on the subject, one painting, four aluminum Molecule Man statues (one 100-foot tall), movie mentions, articles, over a dozen videos, many debates, posters, as well as college courses (dating back to 1894) taught utilizing the human molecule perspective as a basis. What seems to be the case is that either: (a) I have been mis-labeled as an editor with aims of self-promotion over that of an editor with a genuine interest in a subject (that very few people write on or know about); or (b) the subject is an anathema to many editors (and as such are using the various bylaws of Wikipedia in their favor to block the subject from Wikipedia)? To give a bit of history of my failed efforts to write neutral overview article on the subject:
Article | EoHT article | Deletion #1 | Deletion #2 | Desired neutral article |
---|---|---|---|---|
Human molecule | (human molecule) | AFD (I requested deletion) redirect to nanoputian (10 Oct 2007) | Delete per WP:CSD#G4 (11 Jun 2010) |
What I am looking for, at this point, being that there obviously exists some form admitable of conflict of interest (being that I wrote a history book on the subject of the human molecule in 2008 and that I seem to be one of only three people, including Robert Sterner and James Elser (2000), who have every made an attempt at the calculation of the molecular formula for one person), is for a minimum of about two or three neutral volunteer editors to write up a one page article (or even stub paragraph) on the subject of the “human molecule” (encompassing its derivative terms human atom, social atom, human chemical, human element, etc.), and I will confide my contributions or guidance of the article to the talk page. The topic, to note, is very controversial being that it is at odds with many cherished theories, particularly those of religion as well as many secular theories, such as life, free will, choice, purpose, etc.
My interest in having a Wikipedia article on this subject is so that children, age 15 or younger, will know that there is an alternative viewpoint out there on what it means to be a “human” (in contrast to the dogma of outdated subjects such as religion or other secular philosophies), and that this subject has been tossed around for at least 200-years now. At a minimum I would like to see:
It is my view that the ban of this topic from Wikipedia is equivalent to the hysteria that results in acts of book burning of olden days or the inquisitions of Galileo for believing in the work of Copernicus. As Physchim62 (talk) put in on 11 Jun 2010 "It seems like the witch hunt is still on, more than eighteen months after the original events". I would like to think that there are more than myself and Physchim62 amenable to having a short stub article on the subject of the human defined atomically. I will post this help-message on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics and Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry talk pages. Comments welcome. --Libb Thims (talk) 19:30, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time!

Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

The WikiJournal of Science is a start-up academic journal which aims to provide a new mechanism for ensuring the accuracy of Wikipedia's scientific content. It is part of a WikiJournal User Group that includes the flagship WikiJournal of Medicine.[2][3]. Like Wiki.J.Med, it intends to bridge the academia-Wikipedia gap by encouraging contributions by non-Wikipedians, and by putting content through peer review before integrating it into Wikipedia. Since it is just starting out, it is looking for contributors in two main areas: Editors

Hi there, I'm looking for editors interested in biotechnology who might like to help improve the article for Randal J. Kirk, investor and CEO of Intrexon, a company that works to create biologically based products and projects that include the first FDA approved genetically altered food animal, genetically altered mosquitoes fighting viruses carried by the Aedes aegypti, non-browning apple, synthetic immuno-oncology, gasoline substitutes, crop protection, and improving bovine genetics. I'm looking to improve the article's readability and reduce WP:NPOV issues. You can see the full details of my edit request over at the Randal J. Kirk Talk page.
As disclosure, I do have a financial conflict of interest with this topic, as I am here as part of my work at Beutler Ink, consulting on behalf of Randal J. Kirk via Hill+Knowlton Strategies. As such, I do not intend to make any edits to the live article and hope other editors can review and make the changes they feel are appropriate.

While I have no doubt as to current accuracy of areas where this AIChE Fellow worked and illustrated, unsourced content begets unsourced future edits, and the current quality is at risk if the sections invite inexpert future edits. So, I am asking chem engineers to add good, reliable, worthy sources to this expertise-rich quality material. One such section, Schematic flow diagram and description at the article, Delayed coker, from which other material from him can be found, via his maintained User page. Note, Beychok authored a couple of books, and never cited them, as far as I can tell. It would be perfectly fitting (and academically appropriate), where his published work overlaps with his earlier compositions, to use these citations to support the texts. I will try to add, via bullets, other articles to look at to which he contributed, and any of his work that I can identify. Cheers, User:Leprof_7272.

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi everybody, I'm just getting started at Wikipedia and would like to know if anybody has an idea of where I could start contributing to this project? Also is there a way to see a list of all the pages that fall under the scope of this project? Thanks Chenomic (talk) 04:32, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
