Article: The Key Differences Between MYSQL and MS SQL SERVER

The table of comparison is from Google Cloud Datastore vs. MySQL vs. Oracle Comparison. As in previously reported articles from the same author, the domain is mentioned but not the exact source and that the text is a copy-n-paste.

Starting from heading "Difference Between MS SQL Server vs MySQL Syntax" the text is an exact copy from SQL Syntax differences between MSSQL and MySQL. Again, the original domain is mentioned in the end but only in the context for the pictures, not indicating that the text is a copy.

Here aditional proff to support your finding.

Startig from this line, word for word copying, "A great feature that has also propelled MySQL is that...", the exact contents are from Difference between MS SQL and MySQL | Difference Between[^]

@Sean-Ewington ~~you should have a look here.~~ sorry for the summon, but it looks like not needed anymore.

~~If you consider him worth to have some words with and he can catch the message and correct himself...~~ Thread below already clears this point.
I would say, he is not the first time in the focus, his profile and name ring a bell (but not 100% sure)

EDIT: I just saw the thread below... the ring a bell it is not referred to that one. So it looks like he is a repeater offender...

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Fortunately, his knowledge matches his skill in that it's non-existent, but it's still malicious activity / abuse in my opinion.

Pinned FAQ on this forum

To @sean-ewington

Could we have a pinned FAQ post on the top of this forum? The post could contain links to articles and other info about site policies concerning plagiarism, spam, abuse, etc.

For example, if easy to find, this article: CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ would be helpful when discussing about possible plagiarism. And I guess there are also a lot of other useful resources.

Just add it to the Chris sticky at the top - keep it all together.

I like it. Would you like an FAQ on every item, or just a post that encapsulates everything this forum needs?

I think OriginalGriff had a good idea; If you could add relevant links to articles like the plagiarism FAQ into Chris' post which is already pinned on top.

It could make sense to rename the pinned post from "How to use this forum" to something like "How to use this forum and Spam & Abuse FAQs"

Sorry to bother you but one more thing came into mind.

I think one request you made in the past was not to report users who answer old questions in Q&A. Perhaps this could be added into the list?

Plagiarised would be article ("c programming for beginners", PraveenShandilya)

This: c programming for beginners[^]
From this: PraveenShandilya - Professional Profile[^]
Is copied directly from here: What is C language - C Programming language tutorial[^] - he even kept the same bullets!

Six years, and that's the best you can do? Pathetic.
