Journal Ukraine[edit]
Hi! Can you tell me why do you replace PD-Russia on PD-Ukraine here: [1]? Is this magazine was printed in UkrSSR at that moment? As I know the magazine's publishing house was located in Saratov. Just before renaming in "Soviet Ukraine" Kursant504 (talk) 09:14, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Kursant504, if this journal was created on the territory of the RSFSR, then it is advisable to indicate this, since there is no information about this in Wikipedia. The article about the magazine states that it is published in Kyiv, and not elsewhere. That's why I removed the template. If you confirm your words about the place of publication on the file page, then return the template. Farewell.--RetroRave (talk) 12:06, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
License change[edit]
Hi, Why did you change this license. How is this an imrpovement? Broichmore (talk) 18:53, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, Broichmore, the date 1923 hasn't been used in the templates for a few years now (it's now expired) [You don't know about this], and there's no copyright protection for over 100 years after the author's death in any country, so that's an improvement. Thank you for your attention and mind your own business.--RetroRave (talk) 00:20, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- What do you mean, by mind my own business? This is my businesses. Broichmore (talk) 00:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Broichmore, I mean, are these edits something bad? No.Thank you for your work (and business)--RetroRave (talk) 00:47, 18 May 2023 (UTC), I'm just tired of some inaccuracies. And it is extremely doubtful that they will change the term of copyright protection in a big way. So this edit may not raise any special questions. Sorry my English and Good luck.--RetroRave (talk) 00:47, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- My coding was correct. Outwardly 1923 shows as 1928. This was a 2D image, and you deleted that. Elsewhere you actually deleted a death date. Deleting those latter two points is a degrade. What is important here, is what is portrayed to the reader. Copyright law can change, I agree, however there is nothing wrong with the coding. Taking out the 2D and death variables, means we will have to revisit if copyright laws are tightened. There is more than enough outstanding work on the project still to do, without wasting resource on cleaning cleans. Broichmore (talk) 01:07, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

- Broichmore, This is not true, I did not remove the 2D option (PD-Art remained in place). The date 1923 is no longer used in the template, it is desirable that it be discontinued, as it is no longer appropriate under modern law. And the dates of life are indicated in the object card. Okay, I'll put the date of the author's death. I hope we've finished talking. --RetroRave (talk) 01:16, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- What you say about art not changing is true. All I saw was the scoring out in the top red edit. Compare red to green. It was very late at night.
- Compare the edit here, there is no change in the license. Only an edit of 1923.
- In itself the edit is not bad, just unnecessary. Nevertheless where is the policy your using to justify this strategy? Where is the consensus? Your saying that wikidata's infobox is taking over the death date function. I'm aware of Wikidata's benefits in part, however it reduces the accessibility of the project to the everyman. That's why I advocated retaining the deathdate. Licensing is already complicated enough.
- You mentioned modern law, well, it shifts sometimes often. For me that's justification for keeping the death date. Its the key element in the code. Unless wikidata takes over licensing completely, which (for art ) I'm in favour of.
- Like you I'm just tired of unnecessary edits. I take the trouble to minimize them, and that's hard work. There are more than enough images missing USA license, that can be concentrated on, never mind this. Every art example here at Help:Copyrights shows 1923 in the coding, and one of the two shows the death date.
- What is this? Are you joking. (PD-Art, not PD-art, sir). What is the justification for this change?
- While I'm at it I don't like being followed, or parroted at. Good luck to you. Broichmore (talk) 13:02, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
