Welcome!

Hello, Ancharles002, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

I was just looking at your exchange with Gormfull. Spot on as far as tone and content. What you need to do now is to copy the page or pieces of it to your sandbox and go to work on it. I would also put a note in the cytoskeleton talk page saying you are editing it for a class and to look in your sandbox so that Gormfull and others can comment as you go along. It will more likely be left up later if you do it collaboratively. Now what I hate about the page. It is loaded with way too complicated material by scientists looking to get citations to their favorite gene. Where is the discussion of polarity? types of molecular motors? Treadmilling and catastrophy? I would bring the whole page down in level arguing that it needs to cover the basics first and foremost. You might get criticized for it. At minimum, I think adding sections up top on polarity with dynein and Kinesin, plus treadmilling and the way mictotubules grown and come apart would be a HUGE contribution to this page.
