Porcine parvovirus
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because this article was copied from "Diseases of Swine (8th edition)/Chapters 17". It's a master piece on swine industry.

NOTICE: According to its copyright statement, "Copyright is not claimed for Chapters 17, 23, 25, 31, and 64, which are in the public domain.".

 * Sorry, I am not going to do a more in-depth review because I do not believe that I should be reviewing a copy of a published piece of work. I compared extracts from this article to that of the 9th edition and basically they are lifted from there.  The chapters might be in the public domain, but the sources are vaguely attributed (in-line citations would address this and improve the attributions); in other words, it is not readily apparent which paragraph was lifted from which chapter or page.  This might not fall foul of Plagiarism, but I am not certain what purpose a peer review would serve for a straight copy of a public domain "master piece".

 * Thanks. The 9th edition is almost the same from 8th edition. I plan use the content from book as a basic article and improve it according to the latest technology. The wiki system can give the article more feature also.

The reason I put it on peer review is that I believe this article can be a feature article. --dingar (talk) 11:38, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Certainly not in its current state if I have any say in it. As stated in the very first statement of Featured article criteria: "A featured article exemplifies our very best work".  The current article is not your work (or of any of the editors here); the contents are simply lifted from a book and hence, no true work was done.  Jappalang (talk) 04:13, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry. I haven't read these words. You are right. --dingar (talk) 07:10, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
