I believe I worked with him for a long time before finally giving up.

Sorry for being so strong-feeling originally. Among wiki administrators, there can quickly grow a sense of 'ruling' the wiki, and I've seen many of them implement policies that way, to the detriment of their sites.

It sounds like I overreacted and that you all were calling for more detailed policies regarding future cases and for help in weeding through known offenders' edit histories. If that's the case, I'm fully on board.

I would suggest that 30 days may be too long. Obviously it would be dealt with on a case by case basis, but I can imagine a situation where two mistakes are made without knowing they're related, and at the point of a 30-day ban, there's no reason to return and contribute again. I know I probably would have moved on from wiki-editing if I was benched for an entire month, and it took me a LONG time to really understand the plagiarism issue.
