 * In some instances they did correctly quote the material, e.g. here, while in others the paraphrasing was more thorough, making this a pretty complex case. It might make sense to convert them to quotations. On the other hand, my review of their contribution survey didn't turn up any other potential copyvios, and shows the user is capable of writing substantial original prose (e.g. diff), so this might be an isolated incident, which is why I brought it here instead of to WP:CCI.
