Major copyvio issues.Large blocks of text have been lifted verbatim from the main source. See Duplication Detector report. -Zanhe (talk) 05:31, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Zanhe: I would like to tell you this; The main source is a PLoS ONE article, and PLoS ONE uses a CC BY license (see here for the license). Iainstein (talk) 00:00, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your clarification. I've crossed out my copyvio comment above. It's good to know that the PLoS ONE license allows free copying. However, WP:DYK rule 2b says that "text copied verbatim from public domain sources, or which closely paraphrases such sources, is excluded ... from the x5 expansion count for x5 expanded articles." Given the prevalence of text copied from the source, I think the article is still ineligible for DYK. -Zanhe (talk) 00:35, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
The text that is original to Wikipedia is well under a 5x expansion. Furthermore, the article is missing an appropriate attribution template. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:31, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
