::I do not intend to go further into this or to take any measures. This is a negative phenomenon, disallowed by academic standards, and a problem to the paper's authors themselves. Exposure is the best way to fight it. I'm sure their respective institutions view this negatively if they know. I do not think it is any problem for Wikipedia: Since I have not seen any copyright note in the paper, I do not think they have violated any of Wikipedia's guidelines regarding text reproduction and modification: It looks as if their text is also left for free use. If conference proceedings containing this paper are published with a copyright note that prohibits free use, this might be a violation.
