Template:PD-Art-two

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain in its source country for the following reason: This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired. This applies to Australia, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years, Russia has 74 years for some authors. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement the rule of the shorter term. <center>This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights. The work of art itself is in the public domain in the United States for the following reason: This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1930. Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country. The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain, and that claims to the contrary represent an assault on the very concept of a public domain. For details, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain. Please be aware that depending on local laws, re-use of this content may be prohibited or restricted in your jurisdiction. See Commons:Reuse of PD-Art photographs.</center>

Documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:PD-Art-two/doc. (edit | history)

• See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.

This template is similar to {{PD-Art}} but allows you to specify two tags, one for the reason the work is public domain in the source country and one for the reason it is public domain in the United States. For example, if the work was published before 1923 and the author died at least 75 years ago, you would use:

{{PD-Art-two|PD-old-75|PD-1923}}

More examples

• A photograph of a 1911 English work whose author died in 1925 may be tagged {{PD-Art-two|PD-old-70|PD-1923}}.
• A photograph of a Canadian photograph created prior to 1949 may be tagged {{PD-Art-two|PD-Canada|PD-1996}}.

Where possible, prefer PD-1923 to PD-1996, because it is simpler. If the work is not in the public domain in the US due to the URAA, do not use PD-Art-two; instead use {{PD-Art}} combined with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}, like in this example:

• An English work whose author died in 1935 may be tagged {{PD-Art|PD-old-70}} {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}
