Close paraphrasing
I'm afraid that the text previously published in this article far too closely paraphrased from. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:

The article says:

There are other passages that follow too closely although none as extensively as this one.

So that it will not constitute a derivative work, this content must be rewritten if the information is to be included. The essay Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".

Alternatively, if the material can be verified to be public domain or permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution.

Please let me know at my talk page if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
