Template talk:Non-free historic image

message: I have proposed a wording change to our non-free image templates, and I'm trying to keep the discussion centralized here. Please join in the discussion. (ESkog)(Talk) 11:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Encouraging fair-use rationale 

message: If the copyright on a historic image has expired, then we are free to use any digitized scans of that image, aren't we? Is this template only for historic images that are still covered by copyright? --Ishi Gustaedr (talk) 02:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

message: As far as I can tell, the change to this template made by SchuminWeb on November 19 was never discussed, and thus there was no consensus for it established.  This makes it a Bold edit.  I would like to take the next step in WP:BRD and Revert it, but I cannot, since I am not an admin.  Therefore I request that an admin revert SchuminWeb's edit of November 19.  Thanks.

message: I suggest adding a  parameter, as in Template talk:Non-free biog-pic#Year published parameter, to allow images that are in the public domain (or soon to enter public domain) to be identified more easily. I took a stab at putting the relevant code in the sandbox but I am not experienced with testing these things out. Wikiacc (¶) 17:40, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
