Today's featured article, Grace Sherwood, has apparently been plagiarized by none other than Rlevse (T-C-L-K-R-D) , arbitrator, checkuser, bureaucrat and all the other hats.

His response? Retirement.

I wonder how many of his other FAs are plagiarized too? See here for the discussion.

The link no longer works, and I cannot find the discussion in the archives either. Maybe it got wished into the cornfield.

If memory serves, this was not the only plagiarism episode involving Rlevse.
