Hello,
I am assigned with bettering an article of my choice on Misplaced Pages. Over the next few weeks I will be working on finding more reputable citations to add to the references section, cleaning up the article in terms of grammar, spelling, and punctuation as well as adding or deleting information that may be unnecessary to this articles content. If there is any valuable input you would like to add to my work, feel free. Howdy m25 (talk) 14:11, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Remaster to upload to Wikimedia Commons in 2035 (year it enters public domain)

I know it's very early, but with 10 years to go until the film becomes public domain, just wondering which remaster of the film we will upload to Wikimedia Commons when the time comes. I'm thinking it should be the more recent remaster from 2018 used for the 4K Blu-ray release as it is the highest-quality and most detailed print of the film to date and restores the original colors. HM2021 (talk) 15:47, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the legalities of uploading specific restorations of public domain films, but like you say it seems way too early to speculate on this kinda thing. Harryhenry1 (talk) 16:08, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
