Template:PD-US-expired-abroad

Do not copy this file to Wikimedia Commons.
This file might not be in the public domain outside the United States and should not be transferred to Wikimedia Commons unless it can be verified to be in the public domain in its country of first publication and that at least 70 years have elapsed since the author died. Commons requires that images be free in the source country and in the United States.
If this file is in the public domain outside the United States, add |pdsource=yes to this template to hide this warning.
If this file is not in the public domain in the source country but will become so in the future, add |out_of_copyright_in= and then the year its copyright will expire.

This template adds the Images published abroad that are in the public domain in the United States category.

IMPORTANT FEATURE

Using

{{PD-US-expired-abroad|out_of_copyright_in=YEAR}}

will automatically ask mark the image as eligible to be moved to Commons at the appropriate time. Remember that copyright expires at the start of the year after. For instance, an author who died in 1954 in a country with a copyright term of life + 70 years goes out of copyright - not 70 years after their date of death, in 2024, but on January 1, 2025.

Example of usage:

{{PD-US-expired-abroad|out_of_copyright_in=2025}}

For an author who died in 1954 in a life+70 country.

Alternative, shorter usage:

{{PD-US-expired-abroad|2025}}

Same circumstances.
