Not to mention demanding excuses and delivering such high expressions of politesse as this one: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AWikimedia_Argentina%2FOp...
I'll repeat it here for the record: I'm sorry and I offer our apologies if any Commons admin felt offended or personally touched by our words. We keep them, though, because the situation that motivated us to make our voice heard in that terms has not changed. It is always hard to find the exact tone in a multilingual community as ours, even including cultural disagreements about the nature of open letters as Cristian has noted. Our language was intended to be hard, not rude, and I apologize if anyone considers we crossed that line.
We remain convinced that something is fundamentally wrong when its practical result is self-inflicting the highest possible loss of contents. And we remain convinced that there is space for a way more prudent implementation of URAA that prevents deleting educational resources until there is complete copyright information and no legal alternative, which to our understanding (and to our interpretation of WMF's communications) can mean waiting for DMCA takedown notices.
Best,
Galileo

And what about the [apparently lack of] self-criticism of some Commons sysops/admins?
I think being able to accept criticism and moreover being able to say "hey, somebody is questioning what we do. Why would that be?" instead of plainly rejecting any questioning, is one essential part of civility..

It quite amazing when almost all projects have policies on civility ...

[Sorry for this excurse]
Dear Geni, the 20 years indeed come from article 24 of law 11 723. The 25 years come from the Berne Convention.
But that merely established a minimum under international law. Unless you have some case law that says otherwise I'd suggest that article 6 applies to unpublished photographs which results in an effective term of life+10 for unpublished photographs (although life+30 could be gained through careful timing of publication).
In any case, Argentine copyright law
is already known and documented in Commons, and we have been using a specific template (PD-AR-Photo) for years.
See the last section of the template talk page which covers some of the issues the template has with US law. I'm afraid years of use doesn't mean that it has been reviewed by common's more serious copyright nerds.
