Talk:Authorized generics

Copyediting and Wikifying

I did some copyediting and wikifying of this article. It was mostly cleaning up the mess that was the reference section, but I also made two changes that I felt should be mentioned here as they relate to content of the article.

1. In the last paragraph, there was a sentence that read "The FTC is currently undergoing a study entitled the "Competitive Implications of Authorized Generic Drugs" in the marketplace." I have removed it because the reference it links to makes no mention of any studies and a quick Google search only returns Wikipedia mirrors.
2. I have removed the line reading "Recently, a comprehensive academic paper titled: "Authorized Generics: An Antitrust Alert of Market Imperfections" - was written by the Israeli researcher Don Sosunov. The paper has won the first place of the Ministry of Justice Award and was presented in 25/11/2010." As there is no reference for this claim, nor is it helpful in relation to the subject of this article I fail to see what relevance this claim has. If the author wishes to cite the paper in question as a source to be used as a reference for this article I'd be happy to see that, otherwise it goes.

On a broader note, I think this article could definitely be improved. I'm also not really sure why it's part of Wikiproject Ohio...
