There are heaps of these already. On some knols you can see a "similar
content on the web" pane on the right which is a good giveaway that it
was copied; this knol is apparently a 72% match to the Wikipedia
article it was copied from:

http://knol.google.com/k/rui-moura/knol/2q6bmd4rdpda7/2#

Another giveaway is edit links appearing throughout the text.
