Improved to Good Article status by David notMD (talk). Self-nominated at 04:07, 15 February 2018 (UTC).

  • @David notMD:, reviewing in process, good article, I added couple of links. Copyvio >60%[[1]], see 2 paragraphs needing citation. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:16, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
Added use of existing citations in the places identified as needing citations. Working on the copyvio. I had copied text and citations from Food allergy article, attributing to that source. Now, I see that the most egregious section of copying and close paraphrasing pertaining to early and late stages - was copied from the Allergy article to Food allergy (and then by me to Milk allergy). For all three uses, the Wikipedia citations are to Janeway, Grimbaldeston and Holt. I intend to look at the source you identified in the copyvio to consider whether that came from copying Wikipedia or vice versa. If the latter, I will reword the text in Milk allergy and add that reference as a citation. And, I suppose, do the same for Food Allergy and Allergy (sigh). Thank you for catching this.

Ha! and Ha Ha!! I went to the source of the content that appears to have been copied or closely paraphrased into the allergy articles. It is a blog created by Rajiv Desai, MD. http://drrajivdesaimd.com/ At the blog, Dr. Desai explicitly states that he copied material from other sources "Yes, I have to take some content from other websites, books, journals and media but these are factual contents and not creative contents; and I do not claim it to be my original work. Free education and research is neither plagiarism nor infringement of copyright." Based on this, I conclude that Dr. Desai sourced content from the Allergy article rather than the reverse being true.

Overall: copyvio/who copied who issues addressed, good article status within previous 7 days. Both hooks interesting although my personal preference is Alt1. Thank you @David notMD:. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:00, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
