Poorly formatted, full of unreferenced claims and opinions (e.g. "... the production of the vaccine at low cost and high yield...", "Finally, it is somewhat ironic to note that..."). I'd suggest starting a fresh article from scratch. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 12:29, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment You do realize that this is a subpage of the hookworm vaccine article and is simply word for word one of the open source references of that article? This line here sort of explains it "When placed here this was an exact copy of "Devaney E (2005) The End of the Line for Hookworm?" If you look at the talk page Talk:Hookworm_vaccine/16187734 you will see further explanation on why it exists.
  • Currently the WMF has signed contracts with cellphone companies to give free Wikipedia access to 750 million people. This means that all these people can access Wikipedia but cannot access the sources our content is based on. We could host the compatible sources right on Wikipedia and change this. Another benefit is that it could potentially increase the number of people who can edit Wikipedia by 750 million as they would than have sources. By the way the Cochrane collaboration is thinking of licensing some of their content under an open license so that this could occur.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 12:37, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I do notice the article is copied from a CC-BY-SA source, but I don't think it's appropriate to put it here on Wikipedia (or at least on the mainspace, since it's in no shape to become an article), and WikiSource may be a better choice. To get advantage of the free bandwidth, Novusuna's solution may do. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 23:28, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is an actual article published in a medical journal under a license compatible with Wikipedia. The goal is to increase peoples access to sources on which our articles are based and hopefully increase the number of people editing Wikipedia. Ideally the copy will eventually go on Wikidata with a copy hosted locally. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 09:56, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't Wikisource be the right project for that? --j⚛e deckertalk 16:19, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry been traveling. Moving off of Wikipedia defeats the whole purpose. Wikisource is not freely accessible via Wikipedia zero. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:05, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
