While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. While there have been changes, this material follows very closely in both language and structure on the copyrighted original. So that it will not constitute a derivative work, this material should be rewritten. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia: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. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:46, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
