This article in the moderation queue: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=118297&aid=746114[^]
Is exactly the same as this blog: http://geeksprogrammings.blogspot.be/2014/03/adding-search-mvc.html[^]
But I'm not sure whether it is plagiarism or not. I can't find an author name on the blog.

What do you think?

I'm not sure about the article, but a lot of his messages appear to be nothing more than links to the "geeksprogrammings" blogspot site. That smells like spam to me.

Almost all of his QA answers as well. The only one which isn't a link isn't an answer to the question either.

Looks like a spammer to me. The images in the article link back to the blog.

He also has a lot of the same links in his messages - and he had a bunch of answers that just linked to his blog as well. "Had" is the operative word, of course...:InnocentWhistleSmiley:

Wait. What? The link in the post from ProgramFOX takes me to this approved article[^].

I did not see the revision in the moderation queue. Did it have stuff that is not present in the currently approved revision?
BTW, the images in the approved revision still point back to the blog, so I am going to report that on the article.

Yes, I think the article is through - and it' almost certainly his blog, so it's not plagiarised.

But...his answers, his messages - they (nearly) all link to the blog ProgramFOX found which makes them spam (and fairly widespread spam too).

Ah, ok. Thanks, I did not look at his other contributions (yet $Shucks | :-\$ ), so I missed that part.

So it's a plagiarised article rather than a spam article.
