Hold. Length checks out fine. My biggest problem is the sourcing. There are no citations until the very last sentence of the paragraph. The hook itself should be cited, as well as the statement that "this treatment... ...was state of the art until the 1950s." Another, more minor problem that I have is that in the hook sentence in the article, the disease schistosomiasis is called bilharzia. Either the article link or the hook link needs to be changed.--¿3family6 contribs 03:49, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Review needed to see whether issues have been addressed as needed and article otherwise meets all DYK criteria beyond length. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:12, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I forgot about this. The sourcing issue is resolved. I don't see copyright issues, the article was created on time, and the hook is interesting. The second hook mentioning "bilharzia" matches with the article content, so that is the one that I am approving.--¿3family6 contribs 23:07, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
