message: Why is the play Mörder, Hoffnung der Frauen translated into English for the play Murderer, the Hope of Women, but left in German for the opera Mörder, Hoffnung der Frauen? Is there a WP style for that? --Nbauman (talk) 15:50, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Can anyone provide a publication date pre-1923 for this image i.e. an example of an illustration of it before 1923, so that its PD status in the US can be confirmed. Discussed over at my Talk page here. The following is the relevant passage:
"Regarding these files, what was originally queried here was their potential for copyright revival. I queried that at both the Teahouse and at a forum devoted to copyright issues and I was able to establish definitively that no there was no question of copyright revival for pre-1923 works in the US. I therefore considered the issue resolved as above.
But an editor at the Teahouse, not an expert in copyright issues, felt it incumbent on him to query the publication issue. Under the Berne Convention a work of art is not considered published until it is illustrated. One can reasonably infer that for a famous work of art, their publication is more or less synonymous with their creation. In the case of the Kokoschka I was able to provide the editor with a detailed list of its publication and exhibition history starting 1910 from an Immunity from Seizure filing by the National Gallery, London, in connection with its ongoing exhibition, but the editor rejects that as proof of publication.
I don't have the resources, nor the access to the expensive databases required (they are maintained in great detail by auction houses), to provide the evidence this editor requires. I will make a special effort in the case of the Kokoschka, but I doubt I will be successful. This of course was Kokoschka's first major work. It was immediately controversial and it's scarcely conceivable it was not illustrated in the critical reviews of the time.
That's the best I can do. As far as I can ascertain no work of art created before 1923 has ever had its PD status in the US challenged over the publication issue. It is case law that above all determines copyright law.  
Incidentally Commons has allowed the Kokoschka image. You can find it  here."
Help greatly appreciated. I really love this painting and would like to see it reproduced in Wikipedia. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 13:27, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
