From the same author as reported below by @OriginalGriff

Article Calling C Library DLLs from C#: The texts seem to be copied and slightly tweaked from https://www.nag.co.uk/industryarticles/Calling_C_Library_DLLs_from_C_Sharp.pdf and as far as I can see the examples are modified versions from the same source.

Some examples to search for in order to find the copied texts:

Both: "However, it is inevitable"
Both: "For instance, take the example of a C function that takes two parameters"
Article: "Arrays are fundamentals of embedded programming. By definition"
Original: "Arrays are the bedrock of numerical programming. By definition"
Both: "Struct is a major type in C"

All this would have been a mess if the data was kept unordered and unsorted, but fortunately the concept of sorting came into existence, making it easier for everyone to arrange data in an order, hence making it easier to search

(With the second source, you'll need to do it manually as the line breaks fool the CTRL:+F search)

Concerning few blogs in the moderation:

~~The first one SQL Server for Dummies Series. I guess this would be counted as spam.~~
[EDIT]: Not spam, counted as a book review which is acceptable.

But then the second one Formatting Dates in T-SQL Using CONVERT with Style Codes. The texts and some of the examples seem to be taken from MSDN

Then the third one Query Primary Key, Unique, and Foreign Key Constraints in T-SQL . Again lots of texts straight from MSDN or similar sources. For example, compare the article and

sys.dm_db_index_operational_stats (Transact-SQL) | Microsoft Docs
Cannot see dm_db_index_physical_stats (the accepted answer)
