• This impressive article, moved to mainspace on 7 March, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. QPQ done. No copyvio issues. The hook is interesting, in the body, cited, and the citation checks out. The image is very nice and legible at low resolution. @Hawkeye7: could you clarify why the photo is the public domain in the US? Tenpop421 (talk) 17:49, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

  It is in the public domain in Canada as it was not subject to Crown copyright, and is a photograph that was created prior to 1949, and the creator died in 1971. In US because first published before 1978 without complying with U.S. copyright formalities. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:25, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

  @Hawkeye7: Jeez Canadian photograph copyright is complex, look at this flowchart. As the photo's copyright in Canada is Creation + 50 years, it would've been in the public domain sometime in the year 1996, so URAA probably doesn't apply (I see you've edited your reply). I'll take your assessment in good faith. Tenpop421 (talk) 19:51, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

  According to the flowchart, since it was created in 1936 by a known individual photographer, it entered into the PD in 1986, so URAA would have applied in 1996. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:24, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

  You're right, I couldn't add 50 to 36. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 21:59, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

• I am quite okay with the hook running without the image. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:11, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

  I don't have any worries about its PD status Tenpop421 (talk) 00:47, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
