<!--T:2-->
Here's an example of "close paraphrasing."
 
<!--T:3-->
'''Original text:'''
 
<!--T:4-->
<blockquote>Because the weather forecast called for rain, the league decided to switch the ___location of the game to an indoor facility.</blockquote>
 
<!--T:5-->
'''Close paraphrased text, not acceptable on Wikipedia:'''
 
<!--T:6-->
<blockquote>The league switched the game’s ___location to an indoor facility due to a weather forecast calling for rain.</blockquote>
 
<!--T:7-->
'''Acceptable text:'''
 
<!--T:8-->
<blockquote>The league moved the match indoors to avoid forecasted rain.</blockquote>
 
<!--T:9-->
In the close paraphrased text, a few words have been changed, and the sentence structure was flipped. That doesn't make it distinct enough from the original.
 
<!--T:10-->
The second text says the same thing but in an almost entirely unique way.
