• MTV Roadies (history · last edit · rewrite). Copyright-infringing material, probably also a hoax, inserted by User:Imtitanium over the course of several edits in 2012 and 2013 [1] [2], removed by User:Wizardman on 31 July 2013, reinserted by User:Sachinsharma.rs on 10 July 2014. Not sure what the original source is; Wizardman didn't provide details though I trust he was correct the first time around. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:24, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm out of time. Problems here stretch back for years, with edits like this one. It looks like User:Collect has already found and removed quite a bit of copying from this contributor (some of which I've now revdeleted), so I'm unsure if I need to do further checking. Collect, what do you think? Are there likely outstanding copyright concerns? --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:51, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• The contributor seems to take plagiarism very lightly (the article where he used a WaPo article - then did not cite it at all, etc.) [4] shows he knows he plagiarized on a number of articles, [5] that he does not see any need to repair his own mess, [6] that he only saw himself as using a "few out of many thousands of words" in a source, and [7] that I am the person who somehow forced him to plagiarise on multiple articles (I found likely copyvios on more than 10). I can not go through any articles remotely connected with politics (where most of his edits occur), but strongly suspect a person who plagiarises so often might well have problems in that area as well. Can someone examine some of those - though I fear paraphrasing is endemic on Wikipedia at this point. Collect (talk) 22:25, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Not sure how far I'll get right now, but [8] to [9] is a blatant copyvio, still in article. Now flagged, as it remains derivative. Still looking at this article. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:08, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
