Potentially preparing to post spam: sangotunhien[^]

The profile description looks like a typical spammer - "I'm seeking international Parters to export our hardwood flooring" certainly doesn't sound like he's interested in programming, or even IT.

So far, he's posted three messages[^], one of which is in the moderation queue. The other two don't seem to contain links (yet), but read like typical SEO spam. One is in response to a message from 2014, and the other is in response to a message from 2009.

CP Tech blog: The Stored Procedure Framework Now Supports A Stored Procedure With Dynamic Fields[^]
Article: { Duane.Wingett } - Friday, 29 July 2016[^]
Might be same author. Cannot verify

The website show a CP link below the article. So looks geniune to me.

In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

Probably NOT plagiarized

The CP author's profile[^] mentions that his name is Duane, which matches the author's name from the source blog.

His home page link also points to that blog, and his previous blog posts here are all fed from that site.

The "dibley" in his CP profile name is probably a reference to Duane Dibbley[^] from Red Dwarf.

What has been copied?

I searched some sentences and found only
"A Database is an organized collection of logical data" in the article and
"A database is an organized collection of data" in the Wikipedia article.

These sentences are not identical. Even when it would be acceptable because it is a single short sentence (fair use).

If there is nothing else copied (I did not found anything), it is not enough to kick the user.

However, the article should not be published (even as tip).

Plagiarised would be article reposted

Needs deleting.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Hello, That post was mine. I wasn't aware to check for the plagiarism first. Well when i re-posted the article at that Time I've included all the references which I referred.

Now, I am no longer able to access my previous account and so can't access my previous tips and tricks post.

Please provide information, How to check whether my article is plagiarized or not?

This will probably help me if I wanted to post any articles in future

No, you can't.
We have a zero tolerance attitude to plagiarism.

You do know what plagiarism is?

plagiarism (noun)
the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

(from Google)
So when you copied from someone else and decided "that'll do as my own work" you were plagiarising. You can't "check for" that - you just don't do it...
