2024 sources and expansion plans

I'd like to start rewriting this article to include more references, go into greater detail, and provide more coverage. Article spinning and text spinning are, at their core, very similar processes that can be discussed together for the time being. I have found a few sources that discuss this issue with respect to academia and student plagiarism

But there's many more.

I'm also debating moving this page to something more generic, such as "text-spinning". It covers more ground; however, due to the SEO crowd, the phrase "article spinning" appears more prevalent and it might take some work to figure out which is the more common phrase. In academia, it's doubtlessly text-spinning. Another idea commonly discussed as a variant of article spinning is "pathworking" or "patchwriting", but that might be better dealt with as a subset of the plagiarism article or as its own thing.
