 * Dear Reverend Phillips. Although I'll grant that the Solemn Declaration is public domain because of its date of creation, I'm afraid that it's not actually an article. If you were to write an article about the Solemn Declaration, that would be okay. But simply copying the Solemn Declaration itself... no. Sorry. DS (talk) 23:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Better
Okay, that's much better. I'll deal with the copyright-alert issues - most of those are automated.

Two questions - firstly, might it be better to call the article "Solemn Declaration of 1893"? Secondly, might it be better to move the public-domain declaration itself to our sibling project Wikisource? DS (talk) 17:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
