Funny how every time that I turn around I see it going on. Does this look like plagiarism?

Maybe not, but the articles look eerily the same. Even the picture in the third URL is similar to mine. Seems that people would at least reference prior work with a link, I never, ever fail to do this or give credit where credit is due! This and this alone removes any and all doubt on whether someone plagiarizes your work. I spent four hours or more dorking with this, easily copied/pasted in 10 minutes.
