No, just no. There’s a big difference between logically copying a design pattern and copying a bit of code.
While I’m okay with copying examples from references online, I expect the person to go over every single line of that code and evaluate it for appropriateness and correctness.
As to migrating code within projects via copy-paste. This is aweful. Instead of refactoring, like you indicate you do, you only modify the copy of the code. The original, unchanged code, remains as it was before.
