The plagiarism detection software identified high similarity between this article and published works. I'm afraid that this is considered as plagiarism even though you have changed some of the wording. Wikipedia articles (and university course assignments) have to be written in your own words, otherwise the article will likely have to be deleted as copyright violation.
