images all OK, query "click to enlarge" on two images, since thumbed anyway
- I considered forcing a larger image size, but didn't think it would be a good idea. Perhaps get rid of the "invitation"?
  - Yes, the thumb symbol is self-explanatory, and people don't like forced image sizes because it overrides settings jimfbleak (talk) 14:22, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
references first quick scan of refs - seem reliable and consistently and correctly formatted. It would be good practice to write the journal names in full (required if you go to FAC).
- Hmm, didn't know that was a requirement now. Easy fix, though I personally prefer abbreviations. Done. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
several thousands of dollars suggest several thousand US dollars (unless you mean Canadian)
- Ah, yes. Done. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
some padding however for instance and similar sprinkled throughout
- That's a terrible habit of mine. Please feel free to remove any you find unnecessary—I'll have a go at it myself.
MIC90 - would it be better to spell out this - a casual reader has no chance of knowing the abbreviation?
- OK. I thought the link would be sufficient, but we shouldn't presume readers will click on them :)
  - I think it's good practice, as you have done elsewhere, to spelll out abbreviations first time (even if there is a link jimfbleak (talk) 14:22, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is no mention of use or approval outside the UK and N America. Whilst I wouldn't want this to become a list, and I appreciate the difficulty of working with non-English sources, it looks a bit Anglo-centric. Not a deal breaker, but anything else would help to round it out - is it widely used in the EU or Japan for example?
- Will try to expand on this later.
  - Fine jimfbleak (talk) 14:22, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - OK, I've expanded on approval. It's not easy to find top-notch sources for approval dates, though. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You obviously know what you are doing, I'll give you a while to respond before a final read and formal assessment jimfbleak (talk) 12:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Please feel free to list anything else you think could or should be improved. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wish they were all this easy! jimfbleak (talk) 14:47, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I didn't think it would be this easy either :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:42, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What does the paragraph starting with "In 2009, Pfizer paid $2.3 billion and entered a corporate integrity agreement to settle charges that it had misbranded and illegally promoted four drugs, and caused false claims to be submitted to government healthcare programs. . ." have to do with linezolid? NOTHING. It's editorializing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oirudleahcim (talk • contribs) 02:12, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
