It's terrible. Many are obvious, but some are so subtle that I only found them through randomly Googling a phrase. (also, thanks a bundle for the Perl script. I got halfway there with Applescript, but now I don't have to worry!)

The fact that people continually insert copyvios into articles is very distressing.

Sure. Try this: http://downlode.org/Code/Perl/Wikipedia/copyviofinder.txt
It's a little rough and ready, but seems to work. A couple of random examples:
[[USS Dale (DD-290)]] Search phrase: Dale operated with Destroyer Squadrons, Scouting Fleet, on the Atlantic Found: http://www.historycentral.com/navy/destroyer/DaleIIIdd290.html http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/navy/dd-290.htm http://www.hazegray.org/danfs/destroy/dd290txt.htm
[[Cincinnati Bengals]] Search phrase: The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football team based Found: http://www.jazzsportsnews.com/nfl/teams/64.html
http://www.goupstate.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=NEWS&template=wi... ati_Bengals http://www.acheapseat.com/cincinnati_bengals_tickets.html http://www.blinkbits.com/bits/viewforum/cincinnati_bengals_bio?f=2552 http://www.frontrowking.com/football/cincinnati_bengals_tickets.html http://www.ticketstogo.com/sport/nfl/Cincinnati-Bengals.html http://www.free-picks.org/nfl/articles/bengals.html http://www.foxboroticketking.com/vscincinnatibengals.html [lots more URLs snipped]
Whether the copyvio is an inward or outward bound one in each case is sadly beyond the scope of my programming skills, so I leave that to you.
