Philipp,
I think it is great that you want to help Ubuntu succeed and that you are
willing to spend the time and effort on doing so.

That being said, attributing or lifting content from another source without
being the sole author or contributor or without express consent of the
publisher/writer/contributor is not legal. While the content is about Ubuntu
and that it came from an Ubuntu site does not allow you to freely copy it
and use it in an Ubuntu distro.

But I am sure if the website owner(s) and writer give you consent to use it
or allow you to modify the content, then you can put it in the wiki. Sorry
to be a downer.
