Talk:Amritsar treaty

I justed edited article Amritsar treaty and added exact text of the treaty between English Empire and Hari Singh, who bought Kashmir from English rule. This is a public document and not a copy righted, its not a violation of any copy right, as its done more than a century ago and not copy righted by either english government or Kashmir Govt. its public documents and need no copy right. If any one claim, its wrong.

Please remove copy right tag from this article.

 * Hi. This one is clearly public domain by age, but I think that Wikipedia may not be the proper wiki for it. Wikipedia would welcome an informative article about the Amritsar treaty, but the actual text of the treat, as a primary source document, would belong on Wikisource. Wikisource is a sister project to Wikipedia that hosts primary sources. As Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sources notes, we try to "[a]void including entire texts of treaties, press releases, speeches" and etc. Wikisource already has the text of this particular treaty (I discovered after first tagging this for transwiki), located at Treaty of Amritsar. Because of that, I'm going to reduce this to a brief, informative stub and provide a link to the full document there. I think this is a better way to provide information on the treaty in accordance with Wikipedia's basic purposes. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:04, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
