Though not perfectly unambiguous, a large portion of this article appears to be a somewhat direct copy of the following: http://pharmtech.findpharma.com/pharmtech/data/articlestandard/pharmtech/432002/36208/article.pdf
A lot of word strings don't show up because of the presence of hyphens at the end of lines (the link being a PDF of a print article which has words that get broken off at the end of a line and restarted at the beginning of the next line), but I ran three word strings and found almost exact matches. Parts might have been reworded slightly, and some lines appear to have been excised, but unless I'm wrong that's still plagiarism (just using a slight bit of paraphrasing rather than a blatant copy and paste of the whole article).

- Update: I've moved to speedy this one. It's been tagged with the copied article as a source, but I honestly doubt that cuts it for avoiding a copyvio when most or all of the article is a copy-and-paste operation with a few lines removed.Tyrenon (talk) 22:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
