F@h article on Wikipedia now a Featured Article

[Jesse_V]

Well done everyone who has contributed to this! I'm very happy to have been able to contribute!

Again, thank you for helping out with that Google Doc!
Several of the FA reviewers voiced some concerns over the original FLOPS graph and the table I had made. I was fortunate to be able to say "well I know about this alternative, will this work?" and they were like "yes that's much better, please use that instead."

The article looks great Jesse, excellent work!

It's on the Main Page!

Not only is it on the Main Page, but there are thousands of Wikipedians who have added a template to their userpage that displays the Featured Article of the Day, so it's there too.

Wow. I had to revert a few edits from vandals, but overall I'm happy with the way things went. To my knowledge this is the first time this article has received 25,000 views. At least the 1200-character blurb on the Main Page got read the most, and that had a lot of explanatory information anyway. I think we'll see a more accurate measurement of the impact over the next several days or a week as WUs come in, the article keeps getting read, and things like that.

It's no longer on the Main Page.

Just wanted to say I have watched the Wiki and the work you put into it since you started the project and I have been impressed with your endeavour since day one. You have done yourself and F@H something to be proud of and just wanted to say thank you for your work. I do now use the Wiki as a reference for others when I am explaining what Folding Proteins is and what it is all about.

Thanks Jesse_V
Grandpa

What kind of sad and pathetic person trolls a page dedicated to explaining a highly beneficial research project? Oh dear, humanity...

Jesse_V I'd like to echo Grandpa's comments. Well done to you and the other contributors to the current and previous pages.
