update
[edit]There are some unscrupulous individuals who will reprint wikipedia articles in a "just in time" book without revealing to those ordering these books the same material is available online.
This note dates back to shortly after I first encountered this phenomenon. Geo Swan (talk) 23:38, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
I sometimes find material I drafted is plagiarized elsewhere. Here is an example. There is a 2009 book on Abdullah Mohammed Khan. The book overview is a word for word copy of the beginning of the article as of a year or so ago:
current article book overview - Abdullah Mohammad Khan is a citizen of Afghanistan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States' Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts believed, in May 2006 that he was a citizen of Uzbekistan. His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 556. American intelligence analysts estimate that he was born in 1972, in Faryab, Afghanistan. Abdullah Mohammed Khan is notable because he is one of three captives who were initially determined not to have been enemy combatants, but who had this determination reversed when Admiral James McGarrah ordered a new Tribunal be convened for a "do-over". He was captured carrying a forged passport, and, as of September 2006, JTF-GTMO analysts remained unsure of his true identity. He stands accused of participating in the Battle of Tora Bora during the first period when he was in Pakistani custody. He was one of the captives whose initial Combatant Status Review Tribunal ruled that he was not an enemy combatant, after all, only to have a subsequent Tribunal convened which ruled that he was an enemy combatant.
