It can be a problem, yes. You can use datestamps to determine if the person adding it did it multiple places simultaneously, but realistically, if Wiki A wants to demand Wiki B take down content on the basis of plagiarism, it is a matter of Wiki A's ownership of the content, not the user who added it. What you write for Wiki A becomes Wiki A's content, not yours.

Best to write originally for each site.
