This list
The Oldest Actors to Play Teenagers
is a cut&paste from Zimbio.
The list does not even declare that it is a copied list.

Before realizing that, I mistakenly voted for it. Now I wish I could unvote.

If a solution is to be coded into the website's framework, a distinction must be made between lists for which a user is stealing glory and at least two categories of copy/pastes:

1. Lists from off-site which genuinely belong to a user - Some of my Metroidvania-related content, such as my Top Metroidvanias list, also belong to my A Metroidvania Website page. We must not assume that every list with identical text to one on another site is plagiarized, at least not without checking to see if an image of Flip the Frog is also featured on "the other guy".

2. Lists which serve as advertisements for a given item - An example would be my transfer of the official Harvard University Press page's info for their I Tatti Renaissance Library. Credit is given in the list description, and, upon considering the arguments presented in this thread, I plan on editing each book item's note so that the descriptions are in quotes and are preceded by a link to the library's official page. Having done the latter, I can only imagine that the hard-working folks over at HUP would appreciate having this list appear in search engines and the like.

I altogether agree with eliminating uncredited plagiarism from Listal. Perhaps a list of links within a Web server would be more appropriate for this purpose - if ever such a strange and transcendant feature were to be incorporated? ;]

The question has to be asked... if you are laughing so much, why are you still here?
