Template:PD-Scan-two

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain in its source country for the following reason: This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.  Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information). This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights. https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/PDMCreative Commons Public Domain Mark 1.0falsefalse The original 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, 1929. This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:PD-Scan-two/doc.

This template is similar to {{PD-Scan}} 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 1929 and the author died at least 75 years ago, you would use:

{{PD-Scan-two|PD-old-75||PD-US-expired|}}

More examples

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

Where possible, prefer PD-US-expired 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-Scan-two; instead use {{PD-Scan}} combined with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}, like in this example:

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

Usage

{{PD-Scan-two |1= |2= |3= |4= }}
