Template talk:PD-Art-two

Purpose ?

When do we have to use this tag exactly? Obviously users are not expected to use it for a 15th century French painting, as it is obviously PD (no copyright law fell that low :þ). So when does it become not obvious that it should be made clear ? Jean-Fred (talk) 00:42, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

For more recent works, basically any work whose author died 1923 or later. The term of copyright in the US can extend to 95 years from the date of first publication, particularly for foreign works whose US copyright terms were extended by the URAA, so PD-old-70 or PD-old-80 are not sufficient by themselves to ensure it's PD in the US. A good example is File:Philip Alexius de Laszlo - Auguste Viktoria, Deutsche Kaiserin, 1908.jpg. Even without the URAA, this may apply to works whose authors complied with all formalities, so it's good practice to say where this is not applicable. It never makes sense to use this tag with PD-old-100, so {{PD-Art|PD-old-100}} is appropriate there. talk) 02:35, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Additional parameters

I think it would be useful to add one or two optional parameters to embed things like {{PD-old-auto}} or {{PD/1923}} that require an input of their own. So PD-Art-two could be used with |1=PD-old-auto |2=PD-1996 |3=1940 or even |1=PD-old-auto |2=PD/1923 |3=1935 |4=1901.. That way the remaining structure of 1=<country of origin> and 2=PD-US wouldn't be changed but we could implement difficult cases for artists who can't be tagged with combined templates like {{PD-old-70-1923}}.

Template appearance: redundant warning messages

When I use this template (as it is described here) I get a result of two license tags, each with a warning about the importance of including the other. Obviously this covers things, technically— but why can't we have a template that produces a single license notice that does not include any unnecessary/ redundant/ irrelevant warning messages? Or am I missing something? Or do we have such a template that I am not aware of? KDS4444 (talk) 06:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

I think that is merely the result of convenience. The warning messages are put on the license templates to remind people to make sure both source country copyright and U.S. copyright are respected. This template is a means to accomplish this without having to use two PD-Art templates, which would be very large and redundant looking. What has not happened is that anyone was convinced they needed to remake license templates without the warning labels for this template at hand, simply because it would mean a user would have to look up other new templates instead of using the well-known templates that exist. I personally think the warning labels are much less annoying than the descriptions on two independent PD-Art templates. Best regards Hekerui (talk) 12:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Missing comma in German

The German version of the template reads in one place: “Nutze bitte für Fotos, die vor dem 31. Dezember 1956 veröffentlicht wurden die Vorlage…”

There has to be a comma after “wurden”, so that the relative clause opened with “Fotos, die” is properly closed. --77.6.225.236 07:49, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Edit request: country= and reason= parameters

{{Edit request}}

Please add |country= and |reason= parameters like in {{PD-Art}} to aid the use of templates like {{PD-anon-auto-1996}}. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 02:41, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
