Copyright problem removed[edit]

This article began with content copied from [1] and in spite of rewrite continued to retain material derivative of that source. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:

At the age of 12 years he became a monk. Under the able guidance of Acharya Tulsi and Acharya Shri Mahapragya, he got his education and proved himself as an ardent disciple. He possesses the qualities of a Scholar, writer, brilliant speaker, meditator and impressionable personality. He also guides the Youth wings of Terapanth morally and emotionally.

The article says:

At the age 12 he became a monk, under the guidance of Acharya Tulsi and Acharya Mahapragya. His education helped him prove himself as an ardent disciple. He possesses the qualities of a brilliant speaker, writer and meditator. Know he also guides the youth wings of Terapanth morally and emotionally.

While the form of "prove" is changed from proved and some words have been eliminated, with one section being rearranged, I have bolded the words taken directly from the source to try to make the problem more clear.

There are other passages that similarly follow too closely.

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".

The content taken from this source has been removed. If it is reliable, information from the source may be used, but it must be put into original language and new structure, not merely minimally rearranged.

Please let me know at my talk page if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:45, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
