The source, my friend, the source. Jan Arkesteijn (talk)

As reviewing administrator, PLoS uses a compatible license with Wikipedia, and the material is acceptable. We have a template for the purpose, and it should have been used; I placed it with the proper parameter-- see Template:OA-attribution. However, as is frequently the case, the manner of writing is not ideal.We do not make judgements of value. It would be best to rewrite in such a way that they can be quoted and attributed to the author of the article in PLOS. Additionally, good practice is that if not all the text is taken from PLoS, the exact extent of the material is attributed. This is most easily done by rewriting.
