Assessment comments

The translation was copyright its author... thereore you can't quote the whole thing without a significant amount of commentary on the subject. It's fine to link to the source... or incorporate parts of it... but, having 95% of the article as the text can't be construed as fair use. If you get some other sources and integrate relevant parts of the text that would be fine... or if you can find an older translation (or the original Arabic / Spanish for wikisource) then you can paste that as long as it's in the public domain. However, that webpage says "COPYRIGHT 2000 Phi Alpha Theta, History Honor Society, Inc." gren グレン 01:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Not so , the article may be copyrighted but the actual treaty is in the public domain and is not copyrighted. There is no hard and fast rule in copyright law to determine if literal translation is copyrightable so you have no ground to support you assertion about copyvio.--Aesed 03:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Translations can be copyrighted... many Bible and Qur'an translations are copyrighted... and... literal is pretty ambiguous. If you can show that it't not copyrighted then please do. But... under U.S. law translations can be copyrighted... since... many of them are? gren グレン 04:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
