I have never even seen that URL.

I'll asssume good faith here, but maybe you could explain how the following paragraphs are directly copied from that site?

Encouraged by his success with this tranquilizer, Kline investigated the properties of antidepressants. Within a year, patients in psychiatric centers throughout the US were receiving antidepressant medication. This successful use of drugs for two major categories of psychiatric illness led to the release of thousands who were able to rejoin society. Kline's work has been acknowledged as a major factor in opening a new era in psychiatry: psychopharmacology. For his work with tranquilizers and antidepressants, he was twice awarded the prestigious Albert Lasker Medical Research Award.

During the 1960's the Rockland Research Institute grew to more than 300 staff. Dr. Kline's reputation drew biomedical researchers from around the world. Psychopharmacology was emphasized and many new drugs were given clinical trials. Their work also included investigations into the safety and value of long-term drug use. Many laboratory techniques were developed to determine the theraeutic doses of frequently used medications, doses which are safe yet effective.

Kline was founder and director of the International Committee Against Mental Illness. As an advisor to several international health agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and CARE-Medco, Kline was aware of the lack of medical treatment for mental illnesses in developing countries. He traveled widely and devoted much time to establishing and visiting mental health clinics and programs in other parts of the world.

The paragraphs given above were directly copied (and I have removed them). A v N 16:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I Substantially rewrote the citation at the bottom of the article as I submitted it = I don't have it handy. If this is a direct quote from your source, its because they copied it; and I could swear I didn't leave a single sentence unchanged. Carol LeKashman (talk) 21:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll check up on it. A v N 09:38, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
