You take sentences out of it and google the sentence. Usually it's pretty clear when Google kicks back a paragraph from a site like Wikipedia or IMDB. In the case of guns, usually the plagiarist swipes entire paragraphs about the gun from Wikipedia. In the case of Movie/TV show summaries you have to check IMDB for the same title.

We don' want anyone to think we're wholesale pirates of other people's work, via the written word. And we've already discussed the use of screencaps in journalistic, critical review or educational articles.
