Need to change year to 1924 for public domain images in Wikimedia Commons Upload Wizard?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I have seen several articles such as [https://law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2019/ this one] about material published in 1923 entering the public domain as of January 1, 2019. I noticed, however, that the Upload Wizard at Wikimedia Commons still has "First published before 1923" under the heading "The copyright has definitely expired in the USA". Does the recent change not apply to images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, or has the Upload Wizard just not been updated to reflect the change?

Acceptance criteria:

https://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard

  • "Release rights" step's options under "The copyright has definitely expired in the USA" state 1924 instead of 1923

Hmm yeah, that's the mwe-upwiz-license-pd-old-70-1923 string in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EUWI/ . Thanks for reporting this!

Commons:Licensing already says 1924. I've posted notices about the UW update:

"Small" change up for grabs, @egardner and @Ha78na :) This might actually be an easy one! (because it's not related to SDC)

I've changed the English label for that part of the Upload Wizard form from 1923 to 1924. Let me know if that text appears anywhere else.
