Re: Western Motel

Apologies for not addressing your comments directly, I was trying to do too many things. I would like to work on Western Motel and add your photos or videos. I suspect that some of them might meet freedom of panorama. I'll let you know where I am on this in a bit. Thanks for sharing the info. Viriditas (talk) 21:08, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how committed you are, or what your time is like, but if you access to the book, feel free to contribute. Ideally, I want to see a frame from your image/video of the "hotel" room at the exhibition on commons, as I think it does meet FOP. I'm trying to work on counterarguments as to why it doesn't to contain the objections. Viriditas (talk) 19:27, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Frida Kahlo painting

Hi APK! Had a quick question about a fair use image you uploaded a while back. I was just reading an article in Hyperallergic about works entering the public domain this year, and their reporter thinks that works by Kahlo ceased to be copyrighted this year. The licensing details on your photo of Kahlo's Self-Portrait Dedicated to Leon Trotsky has a public domain date for the United States of 2033. I was just wondering how you came to the 2033 date, and what the discrepancy might be - is that just an error, or is the Hyperallergic article missing something?

Thanks, and hope you're having a good new year! 19h00s (talk) 00:15, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@19h00s: Happy New Year to you as well. The 2033 date was added by @DogeGamer2015MZT:. I'm not sure about the reasoning, but I'm not great at copyright laws when it comes to art. I just always err on the side of caution and quite a few photos I've uploaded as fair use have been changed to PD. If her works are now PD, I can reupload a higher resolution photo I took. APK hi :-) (talk) 04:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The painting was published in 1937 so it remains copyrighted in the US until 2033, 96 years after publication, it is copyrighted in Mexico until 2055, 101 years after Kahlo's death. DogeGamer2015MZT (talk) 05:07, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh that makes sense. Thank you both for the help! 19h00s (talk) 12:18, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Linking an NRHP nom form

Hello again. A while back you pointed me to DC Preservation League's Historic Sites website as a resource for finding newer NRHP nomination forms that aren't available digitally elsewhere. Well, I'm currently working on National Geographic Society Headquarters, and where other forms I've found on that site have been hosted on that site, this one is hosted on Dropbox. As regards linking to it from our article, that seems less than ideal for a number of reasons. Have you encountered this sort of thing before, and do you have any advice for how to handle it? Should I link to the DC Historic Sites page for the listing where the form is found? Link directly to the Dropbox file? Leave it unlinked as it is currently? Or some other solution I'm not considering? No rush at all, but I'd appreciate any suggestions you can give. Thanks! DrOrinScrivello (talk) 15:54, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that’s been an annoying bug I’ve dealt with on several articles. If you look at Titanic Memorial (Washington, D.C.), you’ll see how I’ve formatted the link by adding a note. On other articles it’s been mentioned some users found it confusing, but that’s the only solution I can come up with. APK hi :-) (talk) 01:08, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. Your workaround isn't perfect but it's also not the most inelegant thing I've seen, and it's better than leaving it unlinked. Works for me. Thanks again. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 16:06, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know whether this is something you care about or not, but your photograph will be on the main page tonight and tomorrow, I thought I'd let you know.
