 * Very clearly based on the UN press release, but minor details have been added. Has the copyright status of these UN press releases been clarified at any point? Last I heard, there was a NC restriction. &mdash; madman 02:28, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * A. O. Smith ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from http://www.aosmith.com/About/Detail.aspx?id=130 and http://www.hotwater.com/about-us/about-a-o-smith/. (Also compare with phrases from Articles for creation/2007-10-30 by the same user who sourced an older version of an A.O. Smith page.)  Apparently cut-and-paste spam at article creation, and then slightly reworded later, but still so close as to be blatant.  User who added unfootnoted reference to a business journal was an anonymous IP with no other edits.  Don't know where the intro spam came from originally, but here are a couple examples of phrases closely reworded even in latest revisions:
 * 1946: The company constructs a 400,000 square foot residential water heater plant in Kankakee, Illinois. Life Magazine proclaims it “the most modern water heater factory in the world.”
 * 1949: Introduces the Harvestore ® structure, a glass-fused-to-steel silo targeted at dairy and livestock operations. Over the next 50 years, A. O. Smith installs more than 70,000 structures on farms throughout North America. --Closeapple (talk) 02:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
