Tedster,

I think your on the right track. You see a lot of these penalty sites -950 that have a lot of cut and pasted content on them.

Overall, google probally is looking at duplicated content.

If the site is 80% cut and pasted from other sites or just duplicated content and 20% unique. Then it will probally not do to well.

Unlike wiki which is almost 100% unique, it does very well.

The more unique your site, the better it will rank.

Google could take the overall % of duplication and easily work it in the algos. Thats just a matter of math.
