If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released.

close paraphrasing; Meru, Kenya.
[edit]Hello. Some of the content you placed in this article is very closely paraphrased from [1]. This 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. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:
| Source | Article |
|---|---|
| These became his house and office. Thereafter, a line of grass and thatch huts was constructed, set in a permanent square in traditional British military style. Local warriors were then set to digging a six-foot trench, again in a square, around the complete encampment. Finally, water from the neighboring river was diverted into the square by means of trenches, and the headquarters was complete. | These became his house and office. Thereafter, a line of grass and thatch huts was constructed, set in a permanent square in traditional British military style. Meru warriors were then set to digging a six-foot trench, again in a square, around the complete encampment. Finally, water from the Kathita River was diverted into E. B. Horne’s new “Fort Meru” headquarters by means of trenches. |
This deviates from the copyrighted source by only a few words.This is an example; there are other passages that similarly follow quite closely.
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. So that we can be sure it does not constitute a derivative work, this article should be revised to separate it further from its source. 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".
If this content (added here) is not rewritten, then it may need to be removed. The article should also be checked for copying and close paraphrasing to other sources as well.
Please let me know at my talk page if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:13, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
