@Alex Spade: Certainly. But there is no such article. No article for w:Great Patriotic War I mean. It just redirects. I can link it if you like but the two are the same article. I do not quite know the historic details. The purpose of the template is to help identify time periods to streamline licensing. I would want to include a date range if one is defined in the law. I imagine between "January 1, 1942 and January 1, 1946" is the valid range? -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 18:40, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
Oh, I have not noticed that Great Patriotic War is redir. Thx. Ok, lets replace redirect by real article about term - [[w:Great Patriotic War (term)|Great Patriotic War]]. The war date range is "June 22, 1941 and May 9(11), 1945". Alex Spade (talk) 19:44, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Alex Spade: Would that not be confusing since this only applies to the Russian campaign per Russian copyright law? I know the wars date range, which is not the same as the copyright laws established date range. -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 20:36, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
In what statement are you see confusing?
About date range "Jan. 1, 1942 and Jan. 1, 1946" in point 2 - it is not connected with war, it is connected with en:URAA and its Jan. 1, 1996 limiting day. "Jan. 1, 1942 and Jan. 1, 1946" is Jan. 1, 1996 minus 54 and 50 years (prior 2004 Russia has 50+4 copyright term). Alex Spade (talk) 11:57, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Alex Spade: Ah, that makes sense thanks. I have added the link you requested to the text. -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 22:58, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
I suggest/offer that GPW must be mentioned in the first place. Germans, Italians, Russian collaborators (traitors), and etc. also participated in EE of WWII and published works on occupied territory of Russia - but they are not participated in GPW. P.S. Wikilink must be [[w:Great Patriotic War (term)|Great Patriotic War]]. Alex Spade (talk) 13:18, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Alex Spade: Quite right, I have added "(Term)" to the link. Both terms are mentioned together now so I don't see if there is any room for confusion. -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 16:13, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
Ok. But as I understand English, preposition during applies to time. GPW is event/time (war), EFWWII is event/place (front, compared to possible phrase WWII on EF, which is event/time on place). Alex Spade (talk) 12:21, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Alex Spade: In history jargon, when you talk about a "front" you refer to a time period as well. If I talk about the Western front, that would include Normandy, Bulge etc. in that time period. -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 15:12, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
