1. Any font changes within the document, no matter how small. It means someone may have lifted part of the copy from another source online; and if you see that…
 
2. Paste the passage in question into Google or Wikipedia (or both). If it’s been appropriated, you’ll receive that info in the results … sometimes verbatim (plagiarizers never think they’ll be caught).

 @7495b45a Interesting. You're the second person to tell me you'd search Wikipedia. Do you find that Google misses things that are in Wikipedia these days?
