Other proposals

I removed this from the article:

Rhett Morson has advocated the Standard Earth Monetary Unit (SEMU) since 1998 and continues to argue in support for it. However, it is not practicable to introduce it in one step for political reasons and so the preferred method of introduction is for countries to gradually move their currencies closer or in some cases to adopt another country's currency as a series of steps inching closer to the SEMU. Examples could include countries that have already adopted the US Dollar as their currency or Australia and New Zealand joining forces or Pacific Islands adopting a larger country's currency.

Ideally, the SEMU would coincide with trade barriers being removed and international laws moving into alignment.

It looks to me like the copying was, more likely, in the other direction. Take a look at the original version of the article from July 2007; it has a number of minor differences and omissions from the current version, which is indeed very similar to the Lingnan University page. I suppose it's possible that someone has been incrementally copying additional material from the LU page to the Wikipedia article, to make them even more alike than initially; but a simpler explanation is that the LU page was instead based (without attribution) on a recent version of the WP article.

In fact, looking closer at the WP article history, the original version was proposed at AfC in February 2006, predating the copyright notice at the LU page. Since the original article was apparently submitted under the GFDL by Lok Sang Ho himself, and many of the substantial further edits were by LshoLneduhk (talk · contribs), there's probably been no significant copyright infringement in either direction.
