  • Taifa-1 (history · last edit · rewrite) from [2]. I had discussed their close prapahrasing issues with the editor a few months ago (User talk:Abishe/Archive 15), but when I compare e.g. the "Background" section with the source, I see the exact same issues of taking the copyrighted source, and adding lots of superfluous flowery language to avoid straight or obvious copyvio. "The manufacturing of parts, testing and qualification were done in collaboration with EnduroSat AD, a Bulgarian aerospace manufacturer." thus becomes "The manufacturing of parts, testing as well as the quality control process were facilitated in a friendly effective collaboration with EnduroSat AD, a renowned aerospace manufacturer headquartered in Bulgaria." Or "The project entailed research and development of the different components of satellite mission design, full satellite development cycle, in-orbit control, and data reception and processing." becomes "The project undertaken by both EnduroSat and team of Kenyan engineers made a comprehensive analysis paying attention to every technical aspects to avoid bottlenecks and any possibilities of disruption that could otherwise hinder the progress of the research and development of the different components of satellite mission design, full satellite development cycle, in-orbit control, and data reception and processing. " (bold mine to show how it is done, the inserted text is meaningless promo-fluff). "The payload of the Taifa-1 satellite is a multispectral imager for imaging. " becomes "The payload of the Taifa-1 satellite was methodically processed as a multispectral imager for imaging." And so on, all we get is copied text with promo-adjectives and clauses added.
