This: restore database SQL server 2008r2[^]
And this: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5099747/restore-database.aspx[^]
Both from this: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11863815[^]
Do seem rather reminiscent of the "damaged Access / Excel / Outlook file" recovery set up stuff.
Any thoughts? Keep an eye on?

Looks like spam, smells like spam - with the links at the bottom: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=177927&aid=1013731[^]
From this: http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Woland[^]

And the product is a trial for a paid-for package.
Opinions?

2 more hits? Mine was the first one.

@Sean-ewington did CP reactivate him? or are we missing something?

mmm... I have checked 4 of the articles... and I didn't found so much in the net.
A couple should be tricks instead of articles, but the only copies of the text were (additionally) in web1 and web2 of CP

Sean Ewington did re-activate him. I've been speaking with him, trying to get him to work with us on removing the plagiarism from his articles. There's definitely original content in there and I want to believe we can work together to fix it.

Here's what I would like to try. Currently his account is de-activated. I'm fairly certain I've gone through his articles and removed all the ones with even a little bit of plagiarism. I've asked him to pick one of the plagiarized ones and submit me the revised HTML with no plagiarism. If it is indeed plagiarism free, the account comes back and so does that article. Then each article can be restored (article by article) if he submits the revised HTML to me and it's all clean.

Thanks,

I thought something was going on. In my opinion fair enough (speaking about the account).

On the other hand... I would say, he should lose the MVP status
