We seem to be having a plagiarism problem. The lead is identical to the introduction of this article :Acute aluminium phosphide poisoning: Can we predict mortality? I stopped checking after that. Poliocretes (talk) 19:48, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
It clearly states in that source: "this is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License". Sarindam7 needs a wrist slap for failing to attribute so it does not count as a copyvio but it certainly makes it inappropriate to use for DYK.

It was and important poisoning that lacked a WP page. I never claimed that the text came from my brain. If I had to plagiarize, I would have not added inline citations linking to the sources. Its certainly does not require a separate acknowledgement sub-header, as proposed by someone. Its from PD sources, so I think I can pass on that "wrist slap." As for DYK - if "YK" then don't add it.Sarindam7 22:07, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Creative Commons Attribution means you have to give credit to the author when using his or her work. The red X is for the large amount of problem tags on the top of the article, which hasn't been touched in 13 days. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:04, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
