Hi Alanna the Brave, I saw that I'd been pinged in a discussion at User talk:Buidhe about this image. Basically – the URAA is a tricky thing to navigate here. Since the photo was still copyrighted in Canada in 1996, US law (which governs Wikipedia) treats it as if it were published in the US at the same time as its original publication in Canada. Even if the image subsequently falls out of copyright in Canada, it doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, the source pages [1] [2] didn't provide much detail about the original publication. The options I see are:

1. Find proof that the work was created by the Canadian government and subject to Crown copyright (the Canadian government has expressly declared that Crown copyrights expire worldwide after 50 years, regardless of URAA)
2. Find some other reason why the work would be public domain in the United States (these are relatively rare, and usually require detailed information on the author and first publication)
3. Ask the deleting admin to undelete so you can convert the image to non-free. You'd need to successfully argue that File:Frances Gertrude McGill in 1917.png is not an adequate replacement for the deleted image.

Happy to continue the conversation here; as Buidhe mentioned, WP:DRV is also an option.

@Wikiacc: Thanks for reaching out. The URAA is so frustrating at times! I think it's entirely possible the photo was subject to Crown copyright (McGill was a government employee for decades), but I haven't been able to find proof. I reached out to Library/Archives Canada about a year ago, and all they were able to tell me was that the photo had been marked "public domain" at some point before 2010. I'm investigating whether I can use another photo from 1942,[3] but I've been receiving conflicted advice about whether or not it also runs afoul of the URAA (it sounds like copyright law changed in the late 90s, affecting the length of copyright protection?). Would a 1942 Canadian photo have fallen into public domain before 1996?

I've been going by {{PD-Canada}}, which states that in 1996, Canadian law said that photos entered the public domain 50 years from creation. So a photo published in Canada in 1942 would've safely been public domain in 1996. (You'd need to make sure the other two points of {{PD-URAA}} are met, but that should be straightforward if first publication is in a Canadian newspaper.) Sadly c:COM:Canada is lacking in detail about changes to the law in the late 90s. What's the other advice you've been getting?

@Wikiacc: Well, "advice" may be putting it a little strongly -- during an FAC article review, an editor brought up the current Copyright Act page [4] and asked me to explain/prove why the photo was public domain in Canada during 1996 (which I then struggled to do). But they were admittedly not an expert in Canadian copyright law (and neither am I), so I think we were both missing that context about the 90s changes. I'd love to see a clearer WikiCommons explanation about this too. That's a handy PD-Canada template though -- I hadn't seen it before, and it definitely gives me something solid to refer back to for the 1942 photo. Thanks!

Searching for exact evidence was far too difficult, and Copyright Act (Canada) and Copyright law of Canada are also not great on this (the Commons page could really fill this gap!). Based on this article, though, I am pretty confident in saying that the 1997 amendments to the Copyright Act marked the change (for photographs) from 50 years after creation to 50 years after author's death.

I am trying to get through the last legal hurdles in the Americas. When researching Saint Lucia, I became aware that their civil code was mostly "borrowed" from Quebec's, which led me to research the one to discover peculiarities of the other. Since I was already engrossed, I thought I'd just update the chart for Canada, but to do that I had to research the background. So, in that regard, I've drafted this which I think can be added as indicated. But, I've made a lot of comments because some things I am not sure about and I don't write in British English. I am absolutely still confused about when foreign husbands of Canadian wives could naturalize as spouses. Britain didn't allow that until 1981, so it seems to me that 1950 change couldn't have meant spousal equality for naturalization. Any idea? My other big issue is that throughout the articles on Canadian nationality and History of ... "nationality" and "citizenship" are used pretty much interchangeably. While that is a peculiarity in British law, they aren't the same thing. Nationality=who is a member; while citizenship=what obligations and benefits one has for being a member. Clearly, as the case of women's history points out, one can be a national without being a citizen or a citizen without being a national (because foreign wives were allowed to vote if their husband had naturalized). Anyway, when you have time, could you look it over and give me your feedback? Thanks!

@SusunW: Sure, I can take a look over the weekend and try to help you puzzle through some of it. :-) My general (admittedly non-expert) thought is that Canada's system has become less entwined with the British legal system since the mid/later 20th century, so I don't know how much help it is to look at the issue primarily through a British lens, but we'll see.

Sorry, I've been suffering from cottonwood pollen for a few days, but am feeling functional again. Thanks for taking a look. Your explanation of the Statute of Westminster makes it much clearer. That is why I need local eyes. Maybe the easiest way to word it is "Once ratified, the 1931 Statute of Westminster gave the Dominions the ability to govern independently on behalf of their constituents, rather than implementing governance on behalf of the British crown"? Do you agree that History of Canadian nationality law is where the material needs to go? I feel like the main article on Canadian nationality law should probably have a better summary of the history, but I think this info is too detailed for the main article. I appreciate your help!

What's totally weird is we don't usually have cottonwood here, but a norther blew through a week ago and brought crazy pollens we don't usually have. Can't really miss those giant puff balls all over our patio and garden, so we were sure what the problem was. Anyway, I'm better, thankfully. I moved all the info to that history article.

Thank you today for the article "about Canadian criminologist and forensic pathologist Frances Gertrude McGill (1882–1959), who helped establish the first Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) forensic laboratory in 1937. Nicknamed "the Sherlock Holmes of Saskatchewan" for her deductive skills, McGill solved prominent cases across the province and later taught forensic investigative techniques to RCMP recruits. I brought this article up to GA status in 2018, and have since made substantial edits in response to a peer review and some helpful advice from Iridescent & others. Although well known to the public during her lifetime, McGill has fallen into some obscurity since then -- I think her story is a fascinating one"! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:37, 7 May 2021 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-05-07T06:37:00.000Z","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-05-07T06:37:00.000Z-Alanna_the_Brave-2021-04-25T16:21:00.000Z","replies":["c-Alanna_the_Brave-2021-05-07T12:16:00.000Z-Gerda_Arendt-2021-05-07T06:37:00.000Z"]}}-->

I saw your helpful review at Talk:Cone sisters/GA1. This note is not very meaningful, but consistent citation styles are not required by the GA criteria, though it would certainly improve the article. Why this is the case I will never understand, but I just thought to let you know.

Thanks Urve -- I think I had known that, but forgotten. Like you, I find it rather counterintuative! In future, maybe I'll add a qualifier to any comments about citation style consistency (e.g., "This is not a GA criteria requirement, but as an optional improvement I suggest...").

Hi Alanna. Saw your comment about Canada getting less attention in WIR and this had occurred to me too. The Ada 24 hour editathon needed a lead in the timezone of the Americas and I had immediately thought of New York or San Francisco... it was only later that I realised the Belize, Jamaica, Toronto and Montreal are just as valid. On that subject, do you know of a Canadian who may be interested in coordinating? It would be good to see not "US editathon" but "Canadian editathon".

Hey Victuallers, thanks for reaching out! I think it's a good move to try to diversify event leads -- I can't think of any Canadian candidates off the top of my head, but I would suggest posting to WiR, WikiProject Canada or WikiProjects for the other countries you've mentioned to ask around.

Hey, I don't think we've properly met, but I've been familiar with your spectacular work for a while, particularly articles through WiG. I joined the latter group a while back but have only recently begun working on articles under its scope—since I normally write on music, so I've been working on Kassia's article, but primarily procrastinating/re-reading as the topic is somewhat complicated! :) Anyways, in my procrastination I began working on an 8th-century Armenian composer's article, Xosroviduxt. I had planned to bring the articles of her, and her earlier-contemporary Sahakdukht, to GA but now am not sure. Since I've basically 'finished' Xosroviduxt, I'm concluding that there is so little written about her that it feels somewhat silly to nominate the article for GA. I was wondering what you thought about this? There are plenty of sources in 'Further reading' but not only are they virtually impossible to access, I am almost certain they would contain the same information already in the article. Also.... I stumbled across your projects page and saw Florence Price's name there; I've been thinking about working on her article for some time, so if you would want to collaborate on it in the future, do let me know!

Hi Aza24 -- nice to meet you! Thanks for the kind words about my work. :-) I'm always interested to read about women in earlier history (we hear so little about them, outside of the usual Western queens and princesses). It's a short article, but I don't think it would be silly to nominate Xosroviduxt -- there are no specific size requirements for GA articles, and if you've done everything you can to write a comprehensive article on the subject, nobody can ask you for information that doesn't currently exist in reliable sources. If you haven't already accessed those Armenian sources, however, I would recommend trying to obtain them and double-checking that there really isn't any more info you can use (if only so you can tell a GA reviewer that you've done that work). Maybe the Resource Exchange or WikiProject Armenia could assist? I'm not sure when I'll have time to work on Florence Price, but I'd be happy to collaborate sometime.

Thanks for all of this, I will definitely consider the route you suggest, getting a hold of those sources will be a pain though :) I just wanted to float the idea of Price by as I have some things I'd like to get through first as well.

@Aza24: Yes -- let's revisit Florence Price next year. I'm hoping to have more time for Wikipedia projects in 2022. I sympathize with having to access those Armenian sources (argh), but I'm pretty sure a GA reviewer would inquire about them. Fingers crossed for good research results. Good luck!
