... that pediatrician James Oleske was a pioneer in identifying that HIV/AIDS could be a disease in children? Source: https://www.poz.com/blog/film-don-quixote-newark-explores-discovery-hivaids-kids "James Oleske, MD, MPH, was a pediatrician in New Jersey at the start of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.... [Oleske] is being recognized in the new documentary Don Quixote in Newark, directed by the award-winning director Joseph Dorman, which honors Oleske’s pioneering career.... Oleske alerted other doctors that he was concerned that the children had AIDS, which at that point was known to predominantly affect gay men and people who used drugs."

Comment: Created by Dbiunno; nominated by Mary Mark Ockerbloom; QPQ review for Olive Temple by MMO
Article is of appropriate length, free of plagiarism as far as I can tell, and appears to be neutral based on the sources (AGF on a couple of offline sources). POZ has a couple red flags for me on the reliability front, but the hook (which is interesting and of appropriate length) appears to be verified in the article by this NYT source. And a QPQ is present. Just one concern: the entire Education section is sourced to Oleske's own profile on the Rutgers NJMS website. Is that a reliable source? I see potential WP:ABOUTSELF issues. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:16, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ezlev: Thanks for the review! I've added the source you suggested, and citations for his credentials, including testimony to the United States Congress House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health and the Environment (1986).
