The scary thing is that would probably work.

Durova's evil guide to plagiarism:
"Don't copy from the live version of the article. Copy a historic
version
from a year ago. Your teacher doesn't understand how Wikipedia page histories work and won't find the text on a Google search. The older version will appear more primitive and more believably yours. You'll get
a
safe B instead of a fingernail-biting A or an F for plagiarism. So go
stay
out late at that party, relax, and cheat smarter not harder."
(cackles, flees)
That works great, until you get the teacher that does understand how it works. And of course, text has been lifted from Wikipedia and is all over the internet, but it is static.
