If I were me, I'd ask Angela to apologise if she asked me to apologise.
I think that's a quite reasonable thing to ask. You took a text from a website, and put it on Wikipedia. In my book that's a copyright violation. Your argument that it was a government website does not hold water - US government publications are free of copyright, but other countries have other rules. In general, it is a bad thing to take texts from other sites unless they specifically state that they are not under copyright.
