#default:

This file is NOT necessarily in the public domain in the United States because a non-simple image can only be in the public domain in the U.S.:

  • if it entered the public domain in Australia prior to 1996, or
  • when, after that date, its copyright term expires in accordance with U.S. law.

Information about the creation date and creator should be provided.

If the image is not in the public domain in the United States, in addition to the license tag for its status in Australia an appropriate fair use license and rationale should be provided, or the image should be proposed for deletion.

If the media is in the public domain in both Australia and the United States, it may be transferred to the Wikimedia Commons.

Note: If this image is in the public domain in the U.S., modify the end of the copyright tag from }} to |commons}}.
This will replace the preceding U.S. copyright notification with a nomination for this image to be moved to the Wikimedia Commons.

Because Australia has long-standing copyright relations with the United States, some Australian works might have a subsisting U.S. copyright. In such a case, the works in question are not in the public domain in the U.S. even if they meet the above conditions.
This image may not have the proper copyright or licensing information, or there is a conflict of license.
An experienced editor should contact the uploader and add the proper tag, or discuss the issue on the talk page.
If the image has no source, add {{subst:Di-no source}}. If the image has no licensing information, add {{subst:Di-no license}}. If the copyright tag may need discussion, please list at Misplaced Pages:Files for discussion.
