This is a draft for a forthcoming CCI filing on an editor who has been repeatedly warned about copyvio on their talk page,[1][2][3][4] blanked the messages as being "resolved", and then gone back to repeat the pattern. I learned the hard way that pointing out copyright problems every once in a while with formally following procedure is a very bad idea, and is extremely dangerous (the plagiarist editors can continuously deny the problem and accuse you of "hounding" just for looking into the problem). The way I'm going about it is checking mainspace edits that are more than 500 bits (so as not to waste time going though minor edits, reverts, etc. that generally can't constitute textual plagiarism to begin with, or short sentences that are word-for-word or close to it, but couldn't be paraphrased a whole lot anyway). My preferences are set to display 500 edits by default, and as of the start of this investigation the following were at the bottom of the first page, dating from roughly eight months ago; I'm going to scroll up from there to the more recent edits, and if necessary then go back to the older edits.

Obvious copyvio (or equivalent)

[5] Those very first notes they ever played together ended up being the title track to this release, “Toby Arrives.” lifted word-for-word, save the quotes around the song title.
[6] Same copy-pasted text added to a different article.
[7] Ditto.
[8] (original diff courtesy of WikiBlame) Technically The album clocks in at 37 minutes, and is chock full of songs that’d make both Stevie Ray Vaughan and country pickers proud, for its bluesy rock, with a touch of country. is marked as a quotation if one reads the previous sentence, but if you're releasing text under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL it really needs to be original prose or in quotation marks. (Also, note the edit-warring and shouting about "incorrect redirects".[9])
[10] A Seattle couple who were trying to bring three of their Bengal cats to Hawaii have been denied. copied verbatim, including capitalization of "A" and present perfect tense that were ungrammatical with the addition of "In 2018".
[11] is a disease in which the heart muscle (myocardium) becomes abnormally thick (hypertrophied). The thickened heart muscle can make it harder for the heart to pump blood. (and probably a lot of other stuff -- might check later) copied verbatim.
[12] Our article's The Bengal, is an average to large-sized, spotted cat breed, normally weighing from 6 to 15 pounds. Bengals are long and lean. Male Bengal cats are generally larger than females, with an average size of 10 to 15 pounds, while the average size for a female is 7 to 10 pounds. While they may appear larger than they are because of their musculature, they don't get much bigger than other domestic cats. The Asian Leopard cat, from which the first generations of Bengals were bred, is a small jungle cat weighing approximately 10 to 15 pounds. The size of the Asian Leopard cat helped to dictate the Bengal's final size. However, how big a Bengal cat can get can depend on which cat was bred with the Asian Leopard cat. Some of the breeds that were used in the Bengal breeding program include: Ocicats - Average weight 13 pounds; Egyptian Mau - Average weight 12 pounds; Abyssinians - Average weight 10 pounds; Bombays - Average weight 10 pounds; British Shorthairs - Average weight 15 pounds is definitely much too close to the source's While they may appear larger than they are because of their musculature, they don't get much bigger than other domestic cats. [...] The Bengal, is an average to large-sized, spotted cat breed, normally weighing from 8 to 15 pounds. Male cats are generally larger than females, with an average size of 10 to 15 pounds, while the average size for a female is 8 to 12 pounds.

Other breeds that were used in the Bengal breeding program include: Ocicat - Average weight 6 to 15 pounds; Egyptian Mau - Average weight 7 to 11 pounds; Abyssinian - Average weight 6 to 10 pounds; Bombay - Average weight 6 to 11 pounds; British Shorthair - Average weight 11 to 18 pounds. (Note that even the ungrammatical comma at the start was left intact; also note that almost all the changes consist exclusively of changing the numbers to other numbers that are not directly supported by the source.)
[13] In 1963 in California, Jean Mill made the first recorded deliberate cross of a black tomcat with a wild Asian leopard cat, first sighted by Westerners near the Bengal River in India. Mrs. Mill feared the possible extinction of the Asian leopard cat, which is one-tenth the size of the African leopard. Lifted verbatim.
[14] Copy-pasted; apparently meant to be explicitly marked as a quote, since the words Mr. Nelson said, were removed and replaced with an ellipsis.
[15] Copied verbatim.
[16] The blood group test has been validated for domestic cat breeds only. The accuracy of results for wildcats and hybrids (Servals, Bengals, Chaussies) has not been determined. Because of the lack of sufficient samples from wildcats and F1 hybrids, the genetics of wildcat AB blood group is not well understood. copied verbatim.
[17] No idea, but revdelled as copyvio.
[18] Bundy was the winner of the ESPN SportsCenter Fan Jam contest and he performed live on the popular sports show beginning at 9 a.m. EST Tuesday at ESPN studios in Bristol, Conn. copied almost word-for-word from the source's As winner of the ESPN SportsCenter Fan Jam contest, Trace “The Acoustic Ninja” Bundy performed live on the popular sports show beginning at 9 a.m. EST Tuesday at ESPN studios in Bristol, Conn.

Not copyvio, but that's only because it's OR not supported by the cited source (or the like)

(Obviously this does not include lists that include no prose[19][20] or edits that technically meet the above "500 bits" criterion because they consist of several very short sentences each attributed to a separate source.[21])

This edit doesn't include plagiarized text, but it consists of a quote and two sentences of texts, neither of which appears to be directly supported by the source (which only says "instrument-" in the context of The third leg of this instrumental fusion group is Toby Lee Marshall).
[22] Almost none of this edit is verified by the cited source. None of the proper nouns appear in the source: a quote saying the album would hopefully be out "before Christmas" became set to release an acoustic album in December 2018.
[23] Much of this edit appears to be unrelated to the source; HCM screening by a cardiologist is the only test that exists for Bengals is kinda close to Can it be determined if a cat has HCM without cardiac screening? [...] No., but Bengals are actually not mentioned in the interview itself outside of a question by the interviewer, to which the interviewer also answered, essentially, "No". "excuses" and "eliminating cats" don't appear to have any connection to the source, although I'll admit I just skimmed it over a few times rather than engaging in the more meticulous reading I prefer.
[24] This content appears to completely contradict its source in places and soften its source's wording in others: "F5" is only mentioned in the context State law [in Georgia] bans all non-domestic source hybrids, EXCEPT F4 and lower (i.e., F5, F6, etc.) Bengals. You cannot get a permit., which in our article becomes Bengal cats with a rating of F5 and beyond are considered domestic: they are generally legal in the United States [...] Georgia [...] regulate[s] or ban[s] Early Generation Bengals (Bengals of the F1-F4 generation).
