Funny that you mention it. Yesterday, I was looking for an old pdf version of Donella Meadows work. Had a hard time finding it because all what was on the net about her was copies of the wikipedia articles (mine in good part, so this was not what I was looking for). One of the most proeminent copy was precisely this website.
It was also one of the first time I regretted articles existed in wikipedia... because I could not find the original paper I was looking for, because the web was so much infested by the wikipedia articles...
I suddently regretted Google was not able to distinguish that all the articles were the same, and hidding other articles which are unique, but simply less visible. I actually wonder if this is not a bit problematic. It looks as if the search system was not able to handle this properly any more.

PS : I must not forget to add the pdf link to the article so I can find it next time.

I was doing a little googling this morning while the wiki was down, and came across a reference to a site, www.biography.ms.
The entire site is simply a bad scraping of the wikipedia, with all attributions removed.
