Public domain table

This table helps identify whether a work is suitable for upload. Per Commons:Licensing, works can only be uploaded if they are in the public domain in both their source country and the United States. The below table provides conditions under which most works will be in the public domain in both, listed by the country of first publication (both the "author died in or before" and "published in or before" conditions must be satisfied simultaneously). Some countries have multiple rows, providing multiple different ways in which works can be in the public domain. Note that there are a number of exceptions to the below, such as concurrent publication in the source country and US and posthumous publication. Use with caution. This is based on and a simplification of en:Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights, and the text of various license templates.

Note: When the author's death year is known, it is preferable to use {{PD-old-auto-expired}} or {{PD-old-auto-1996}} rather than {{PD-old-70-expired}}, {{PD-old-70-1996}}, {{PD-old-50-expired}}, {{PD-old-50-1996}}. etc. The auto tags will update automatically as time passes.

Abbreviations:
- pma: post mortem auctoris, (years) after the death of the author
- pd: post divulgationem, (years) after publication
- pr: post realization, (years) after creation
- PD: (in the) public domain
- PD-US-expired: Most works published at least 95 years ago (1930 or earlier) are in the public domain in the US. These are said to be PD-US-expired works, based on the template name {{PD-US-expired}}.
- URAA: The Uruguay Round Agreement Act. To be in the public domain in the US, a work must generally either be PD-US-expired, or be in the public domain in its source country on that country's URAA date, which is usually 1 January 1996.

Copyrighted table

This table is the inverse of the first table, and summarizes which works are still under copyright, listed by the nation of first publication. It helps identify when and why an existing work may need to be deleted. Both the "author died in" and "published in" conditions must be satisfied simultaneously. Some countries list multiple rows, providing multiple ways works can be still under copyright. Again, these are broad guidelines and there are some exceptions (e.g. architectural works from before 1987).

Footnotes

^(a) A "simple photograph" must not have artistic merit or reflections of photographer creativity or personality. Some simple photos are not copyrightable in the US (see Commons:Threshold of originality#United_States).
^(b) If a film is published or photo taken in Italy between 16 August 1945 and 31 December 1945, or an author published a work and then died during that period, these works are PD in the US, and will become PD in Italy 70 years after the death of the author(s). (Explanation: Italy wartime extensions applied only to works published before 16 August 1945. The above-listed works all expired precisely on Italy's URAA date, and so do not have a US copyright. Italy retroactively extended copyright on all works except simple photos to 70 pma.)
