I picked one at random (LOG10) and compared it.

He's added one sentence, and the rest is just copy and paste, including the example.
Yes, he has referenced where he copied it from, but without the copied material there is nothing useful left.

That's plagiarism.
If I saw that in the moderation queue today, I'd report it here.

And a very quick check on another of his articles (again, picked at random): SQL Server's FORMAT() function[^] come up with all the relevant detail copied from MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k(v=vs.110).aspx[^]
OK, the MSDN article is talking about "formatting in .NET" and his is "formatting in SQL", but I'd be prepared to bet a small sum that the MSDN Transact-SQL documentation also contains the same text somewhere. In fact, the MSDN FORMAT descriptoin links to "Formatting Types in the .NET Framework"[^] - which is the header page for the one holding the table of info in his article.

So I'd say "Serial Plagiarist" and start kicking.

And here is his article list: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/Shemeer-NS#articles[^]
