Talk:Monika Hellwig

Copyright issues

This article began as derivative of [1]. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following, from the foundational edits:

Dr Hellwig taught for more than three decades at Georgetown University, including six years as the Landegger Distinguished Professor of Theology. She was a senior research fellow at Georgetown's Woodstock Theological Center at the time of her death.

The source says:

Dr. Hellwig...taught for more than three decades at GU, including six years as the Landegger Distinguished Professor of Theology.... She was a senior research fellow at GU's Woodstock Theological Center at the time of her death.

The current article says:

Hellwig taught for more than three decades at Georgetown University, including six years as the Landegger Distinguished Professor of Theology. She was a senior research fellow at Georgetown's Woodstock Theological Center at the time of her death.

There are other passages that similarly follow too closely. (For one further example, "Her mother survived the war and reunited with her daughters in 1946, but died two days after their visit" from the foundation, which has inexplicably become "Her mother survived the war and reunited with her daughters in 1946, but died three months after their visit" is also directly copied from the source.)

While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. So that it will not constitute a derivative work, this article should be rewritten in the temporary space that is now linked from the article's front. 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) 23:18, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
