[edit] Solemn Declaration 1893

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Solemn Declaration 1893, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www3.telus.net/allsaints/Solemn_Declaration_1893.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 23:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• 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)

[edit] 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)
