Wiki Loves Public Domain

The Wiki Loves Public Domain project wants to document authors and makers, and their works that became public domain. The first edition ran in 2025.

Goal

It registers lists of authors and makers that died in a certain year in Wikidata. Subprojects are:

• Write articles about the authors and makers in Wikipedia the year before public domain becomes active (anniversary of 70 year death);
• Upload pictures of works, after January 1st of the year of public domain.
