I'm afraid it would have been obvious from the writing which articles were from Wikipedia. The EB is able to provide the facade of accuracy because the writing is so smooth, so you don't expect to find factual errors. In Wikipedia articles, you do, because the writing is often very poor, so the other problems tend to jump off the page.
