The plagiarised images I spotted earlier are gone, but the text is still copied.

I think we should still give him a try. I sent a message that also the texts have to be his own so I'd still give him a chance to participate if he comes up with his own explanations.

Personally, I would leave the member alone at this point. He/she claims to have no connection to axolot and the feeling I'm getting is that the member is just trying to make a (biased) comparison.

Also, this one[^] (posted 13 hours ago according to Google) seems to be copied from here[^] (22 hours ago).

The images even point back to the original article. D'Oh! | :doh:

Has identical text to his closed (I assume for plagiarism, that avatar looks rather familiar) article here: Web API by oData[^]
And chunks of the text appear in discussions here: https://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/discussions/457028[^] from 2013.

On balance, I suspect plagiarism. Again. Sigh | :sigh:

I had words with him about this yesterday. I even put links to some of the articles he plagiarised, and pointed out to him that I knew exactly where he'd plagiarised them from. Sadly, the exact same plagiarised text is in place in this article.
