I'm sure some general whitepaper concepts are all the same, but the images or content in the whitepaper must be different. Plagiarizing any content in the whitepaper will be a red flag project. I think it's safer to make the whitepaper unique and easy to understand or at least it can be written simply but not plagiarized.

whitepaper of any project reefers, it contains pros & cons, all information regarding that project. If two project have same idea and goal, then let them explain them with their own words. How could anyone trust a project who refuse to write their own whitepaper while they have long to go! If they represent themselves as weak, lazy, unprofessional team, then that sign of scammer. So better avoid them

Sometimes the project maker does not pay much attention to detailed things including Whitepaper, I have been investing in a project that is proven to have a copy paste whitepaper from other projects and only changes the name of the project but there is still an old project name that has not been replaced, but a surprising thing happens because the project exists and now it has There are in top exchanges such as binance, coinbase and others.

Imitation is in no way an ok subject.  It is stealing someone's idea, design, or art.  What it is there to imitate on the layout when the layout is a simple task to do.  If a project cannot create its own layout then what more on the more complicated matter?
Many very identical project websites even use the same template, but many people don't realize it because they just modified some layout and writing style. So we have to pay attention to new projects in detail before investing because if something simple is imitated of course they can't do something complicated.

Actually the whitepaper of a project is very important because it is a picture carried out by a team to be able to achieve a target that they have set, and we as investors always rely on the whitepaper to be sure in following the project, but currently it is not a big symbul for a project because there are so many fake projects that rely on whitepapers to easily trap investors, so right now the whitepaper is not an important thing for a project and we rely more on a team that is active in carrying out the project they are developing.

imitating the layout or basic whitepaper in my opinion is okay because all whitepapers are on average the same in the same order as whitepaper. what distinguishes them is how the content in the whitepaper, this should not be plagiarized, they must be purely written based on their own project.
yeah but this will be only coming from a legit project with real developers behind it. There are bunch of services that offering whitepaper writing but these services are also shady as fuck caused by they were copying content that already published or created by the real developers who have been writting it. I will never ever trust whitepaper until it comes from the legit developers based from my DYOR

Each whipaper has a layout structure or table of contents so in general nothing is plagiarized other than content content, so if plagiarized coin contents are found then we should avoid that project because they include unsourced content and ensure the team does not have the expertise to create a new project other than imitate other projects.

I think what matters most is the technical and implementation of the project, they could be very well using the same generic templates like any other but if they couldn't be comprehensive in the technical then it seems that's red flag and their project could be just a scam.

in the whitepaper, it is clear how the development of their project in the future. in the whitepaper, their vision and mission must be clear. In addition, you need to clearly see that the whitepaper follows what project, if it is a large project, it might be useful and develop in the future, but they need to differentiate with more advanced project development. however, if it's a whitepaper from a failed project, then it's best to stay away from it.
After all, Whitepaper is the thing they will do in the project. if they really don't really care about their project, then they will show weakness in the whitepaper.
Not really the thing I consider when choosing the project because there are a lot of things that we need to see. In fact, a whitepaper can be full of lies, you can't just simply think that it will be followed, not even the roadmap. This is not actually the basis to tell the weakness and strength of the project but rather rely on the output of their developments. Because it was useless to see and read such a promising whitepaper but lack of executions as it will still end nothing.

Actually, there are some scam projects which has almost perfect whitepaper and roadmap. They filled it with promises and lies which attracted lots of investors. It's their strategy so their project would look promising and they can cover up their messes with wrong information. As for me, the whitepaper isn't enough basis for us to determine the legality and legitimacy of a project. That's why continuous and deep research is too important.

For newbies is a copied whitepaper still a red flag for projects?

Is it right to say, yo any project that has a whitepaper that looks like another project is a scam or  bad for investment.

Naturally, that fully or partially copied whitepaper is plagiarism and this project with a huge degree of probability is a scam. I do not remember a single successful project with a copied whitepaper and I do not invest in such projects. Whitepaper is the most important source of information about the project, its purpose, how it works, its ecosystem structure, tokenomics, and future plans. The whitepaper should definitely be original.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
I can say that, in my opinion Whitepaper is the first thing that investors will see, a good project is certainly very concerned about Whitepaper, the first impression when seeing Whitepaper is not professional so investors will be difficult to believe and invest.
This is why most projects will attempt to fake their whitepapers in whatever way possible instead of trying to make it weak, then over time they will gradually reveal their weaknesses but by then every enthusiastic investor would already have invested enough to not pull out early. Therefore a lot of disappointment follows up such investments.

Truely every project that tries to copy a mainstream business but the only difference being the use of crypto, ends up not being able to sustain the project and therefore a lost in the depths project.

Moreover if the whitepaper is copied, then it is an immediate sign of a scam. Majority of the above mentioned cases are scams and they are only trying to keep their backs covered by being a weasel.

For newbies is a copied whitepaper still a red flag for projects? I heard they don't matter much anymore because big projects do the same thing too, if two projects have the same goals or utility one can copy the other, change some few words here and there?

What advice can you give me based on this? Is it right to say, yo any project that has a whitepaper that looks like another project is a scam or  bad for investment.

At least they are serious when they decide to make a new project, a project that has a similar whitepaper and a similar website indicates they only want investor money without any real effort for their project, if they lazy make the unique one then they will lazy to continue developing their project. I stay away from a project like that moreover if I want to invest there.

Whitepaper isn't a review thing.  It contains not the pros and cons but rather the detail on how the project will proceed.  It contains a road map, definition, idea, the problem it will tackle, the innovation, the team, the glossary, and many more.

IMO, it is not absolute that copied or partly copied website of a project is a scam, however, it is an indicator that can make us to raise eye brows and become more suspicious and at alert. Basically, in my observation, most scammers want to act fast and are impatient, so they are not likely to exercise patience to make a proper preparation of documents like whitepaper, so there are chances of copying/plagiarizing.
The whitepaper can be an indicator of how viable a project can be and presents opportunity for constructive criticism. It s an important tool to access a project and can indicate the intention of a project when viewed objectively.

Isn't it already scamming when they plagiarized the content of their whitepaper?  They already stole the idea of the original writer and selling it to the investors.  Isn't selling other idea without the person's content already a fraud?

This is new to me, I have never heard of whitepaper offering service. If you are really serious about developing a project, why hire someone else to write the whitepaper when the idea was created by us, not someone? Although to evaluate a project we need to consider many factors such as project team, idea, invested VCs...but I think the project has a good idea, no matter how potential it is, but if even the whitepaper can't create it's own then it's really not worth trusting such people. We have hundreds of new projects every day so I will choose to ignore the projects that are not clear, intend to scam in the first place.

If the idea is copied, and it also happens that team members are copied, or fake photos are added to team photos, to which the organizers later explain that fake photos are for privacy, all this suggests that this is a scam. 
At the same time, copying, and even a partial change, speak only of the impending scam. It happened many times. To collect money from future investors, scammers do not disdain anything, add strangers to the team, and copy other people's ideas.
A copied whitepaper is a total turn off for any investor, I can't take any project that copy others whitepaper even if it just a portion of the whitepaper that is copied from other project is still a red flag. If a project can not take the time to right their own whitepaper then it shows that there is no seriousness in them and also show that team project is just a potential scam waiting to happen. Most of the altcoins projects are guilty of this copied whitepaper scam and that is why we have so much scam projects around the altcoin market today.
Due to lots of projects in the market then there's no way on whose project or the origin of the said whitepaper which is something a very tough challenge if you do really tend to trace up its origin and find

the original ones.We know that there are lots or most of project creators would just simply copy out someones projects Whitepaper which is really that shit, there's no originality.

Its really hard to tell which one to believe yet everything almost identical.There might be some alterations or changes made up but it would be that
obvious that they are just copying into each other.
We have hard some issues as regards plagiarized whitepaper and the projects were tagged appropriately because that is a clear violation of some terms in this space, there is no thought fact that some other projects steal whitepaper from already established projects just to ride on those project credibility but then it won't be long before this too will be discovered, we have some sites were one can easily put a whitepaper into plagiarism test and if the whitepaper is copied from any such it will be dictated. So obviously there is no free market for scums who don't want to put in the hard work to develop their whitepaper.

I don't believe in project that uses Plagarised whitepaper.
Most of the times they end up only scamming investors money. It's rare to see a project which uses Plagarised contents.

If the project isn't original then I see no reason to participate or take part in it.
