After letting this sit for a few weeks, this might be "done" (wiki pages are never done, I know). The one thing I would like to see is a one sentence addition to each of the ABRF awards. Just a few words describing the work for which the award is given. This sentence could be heavily Wiki linked. I think it would be better if it was just a short phrase. But if it is done to one it should be done to all. This info doesn't seem to be found easily for all awardees at the ABRF site. MBCF 23:49, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Reverse chronology on this page, no? MBCF 04:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice work! Thanks!! lobster101 22:00, 5 Dec 2006 (PST) -- OK, I wrote a history and beefed up each section. The wiki links underneath each RG name and in the technical resources section are a bit of a hodge podge. For example there is no protein expression wiki page so I linked to gene expression because it has some protein expression in there. If you are a member of an RG go right ahead and go to the wiki link and boldly edit it. I also put a "typical core facility" link as the last external link. For the time being I put a link to my lab's wiki page. But I want all core labs to write a wiki page and get it in wiki. You can use my wiki page as a template. Or we can use the external web link to your lab. My idea is to once a week or month swap another "typical core lab" into that spot.

All edits by MBCF and by 155.52.95.150 can be blamed on the poor writing skills of Paul Morrison at MBCF

I've fleshed the ABRF page out but need a member to write a short history. How we used to have our annual meeting with the Protein Society meeting but broke off in ~1992? That sort of thing. MBCF 06:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Organization infobox?
Would we want to include an organization infobox, similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Society_for_Mass_Spectrometry, but with ABRF details and the square ABRF logo?

Membership numbers?
If memory serves, former president Bill Hendrickson stated at the Myrtle Beach meeting that the current ABRF membership is around 700. Does anyone have an official figure? Obviously, membership fluctuates over time, so perhaps an average over a 5-year period may be better than the exact number on a specific date?

Links and secondary sources?
Duffbeerforme removed the links to the conference proceedings/websites. These links are very convenient if one wants to access conference abstracts or learn more about the theme or location of said conference. I don't see why these links cannot be kept. I don't mind the removal of the links to personal/departmental pages, but (re)inserted the removed link to the wiki page for Mathias Uhlén.

How do we go about reducing the reliance on primary sources? The Journal of Biomolecular Techniques is the society's own journal. Some information on ABRF and in particular its research groups appear in other scientific publications when their studies are published, but this is not necessarily up-to-date. I'm happy to see improvement on this page.
