- I was paid as an employee to write this article. I put it through AfC and it just went live today. I am aware of the history of what happened with Gibraltar on DYK, and the controversy associated with people receiving pay as they participate in Wikipedia. I am also a Wikipedian and if I had not been paid to write this article, I would have submitted it to DYK in any case. I feel that this campaign is timely as it is in the news currently, and I did my best to make a good article, and aside from the strange relations between DYK and paid editors, I feel like I am making a good DYK submission for the community to review and approve or reject as is usual. I would like to think that my submission here would be peacefully considered as an example of transparency and a step toward good practices. Thanks for considering it.

- I am not able to comment on the politics of promoting an article that was written by a paid editor, but I will review the page on its own merit.
The article is new enough, good length, and well written. I do see one typo that I cannot correct because I do not understand your intent. In the Difficulties section, the third bullet point says "Since and doctors ...". I had to AGF on the JAMA source, but spot checking the other sources looked fine. The content seemed well balanced. Once that one typo is corrected I have no other concerns. Allecher (talk) 23:23, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing. I corrected the typo which you found and feel that I have answered your only concern.
- I regret that sources related to health campaign and so many aspects of medicine are behind paywalled journals because this goes beyond Wikipedia; the general public ought to have access to information about their health and government and too much information is not open access.
