A friend of mine once said on LinkedIn that he found a paper about his Ph.D. work plagiarised 100%: the clone had another author name on it, but even cited his original Ph.D. thesis!
In contrast, I once found my Ph.D. thesis cited on a Wikipedia page, but with another author's name on it! This was easier to correct, the "edit" button is your friend. But it makes you wonder how many errors are on Wikipedia that have so far gone undetected.
