If you suspect a copyright violation, you should at least bring up the issue on that page's discussion page. Others can then examine the situation and take action if needed. Some cases will be false alarms. For example, text that can be found elsewhere on the Web that was in fact copied from the Encyclopedia of Mathematics in the first place is not a copyright violation on Encyclopedia of Mathematics's part.
