I would mark the passage with a notation pointing out that the necessary
attribution for the reused text are "missing" without expressing any conclusions
as to whether the omission is inadvertant or deliberate. Depending on your
ambition, you can then proceed to Google other portions of the text and similarly
mark any other unattributed reuses you find. After all, your role as an editor is
to catch various sorts of "errors..."

I'm doing a job and Googling sometimes in order to get information that will

text that is identical to my author's. Not just a phrase or two, but entire
paragraphs.

This job is due tomorrow night and I am almost through with it.

My query is a global one: what on earth do I say to the editor who hired me as
a telecommuting editor? And why do I feel as if I've just read someone else's
diary or something?
