The periodic table isn't covered by copyright anyway. Most of our [[en:List of ...]] articles are similarly free; there is no copyright on information, only creative work. (IANAL, and it'd be interesting to ask one just how far that goes.)
The table itself, no. But the particular table in Wikipedia has different colors for the series, a particular selection of which series to have, and different colors for the different states of each element - all that is creative work and is under copyright.
True enough -- but all that Karl needs is "the table itself". So take it, Karl! Strip out the colours and such if you like; then put other notations in as you feel best.
