Copyright problems[edit]

In addition to the copy from [1], for which it seems likely permission might be obtained, this article includes copying and very close paraphrasing from other sources.

For instance:

...from 1955 he relegated reality to mere suggestions, basing his compositions on geometric shapes sometimes surrounded by patches of colour. By the 1960s... he had become concerned with rhythm as a way of containing balances and tensions, now using patches of colour to express feeling and to give a tangible dimension to abstract shapes.

Precisely duplicated content is bolded; some of the content which is not bolded follows closely.

Such close paraphrasing can be a problem under both our copyright policies and our guideline on plagiarism. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are.

As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's copyright policies require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch. 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 also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism". --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:26, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
