Just a few points inline. :)

To clarify the proposal is:
1) only looking at new edits that add blocks of text over a certain size
2) only tagging those edits on a workspace page for further follow-up by
an experienced human editor
3) only running on articles of WikiProjects that want it and are willing
to follow-up (thus only WPMED for starters)
What it is NOT is: a tool to add notices to article space, a tool to warn
users on their talk pages, or a tool to look at old edits. It is also NOT
many other things. This is a very narrow proposal.
With respect to users who are adding content they own which they have
previously had published. What you do is you get them in an email to agree
to release it under a CC BY SA license and then send that email to OTRS.
Alternatively, they can skip this step if they are reproducing materials
from their own website by adding a release to that website.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DCM talks about how. I speak to
that based on my volunteer experience, not my work experience. :)
One further point - if they are the *sole* copyright holder contributing
their own text work to Wikipedia, it must be colicensed under GFDL
according to our terms of use
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use#7._Licensing_of_Content>
.

With respect to the number of edits, WPMED gets about
1000 a day. If we
say about 10% are of a significant size (a rather high estimate) and if we
say copy and paste issues occur in 10% with a same number of false
positives we are looking at 20 edits to review a day. Those within the
project are able to handle this volume in a timely manner.
