Předmět: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Fwd: Happy Public Domain Day!
Would it be a good idea to have "Entered public domain in [year X]"
categories?

On January 1 we celebrate Public Domain Day [1] as many works of authors who died 70+
years ago now enter the public domain and can be used freely.
Let us be aware: copyright is temporary. It only lasts during the authors lifetime and 70
years afterwards (in most countries). During those years it is limiting Wikipedia and her
sister projects in showing works of art, literature, public art and buildings in countries
without freedom of panorama [2], and more in the articles. But now a new batch is freed
from copyrights!
An overview of images and texts that are restored or added to the Wikimedia Commons, are
collected on:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Romaine/Public_Domain_Day/2015
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Romaine/Public_Domain_Day/2015>Many of
these files still need a place in articles. You can help!You can also help by uploading
new files of subjects that are freed of copyrights.You can also help by tagging all
requests for deletion pages with the category when the file can be restored, which is/was
deleted. [3]As I follow the log of restored files this week, more images and texts will
follow. If still files or texts are missing in the list, let me know or add them
yourselves.A very happy Public Domain Day!
