Shouldn't it be "to all my text contributions on Wikipedia" instead? --cesarb 09:41, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The other multilicensing template don't seem to do this, but it doesn't hurt to be explicit. I wonder also whether this should apply to talk pages. Deco 22:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Better now, but some things still have to be done:

• Perhaps it should be changed to English Wikipedia (sorry, I thought about it 1 minute after leaving).
• A topic somewhere in the Village pump or even on the recent changes header is probably needed (I don't think many people noticed Wikipedia:You can't grant your work into the public domain yet). Maybe the new legal mailing list could be involved in this too.
• This template needs to be protected, like the older ones are.
• And last but not least, somebody who is not afraid of flames should spam all the people with the "deprecated" templates (I know I would feel grateful for it if I hadn't noticed the discussion before, but some people might get annoyed).

Thanks again for your advice. I'm not sure what section to drop a Village Pump note on — perhaps policy. I'm waiting for 4 days before deprecating the multilicensing PD templates, to give people a chance to complain. The image PD templates have already had a link to can't grant added, so I expect that to grab some attention. There are so many people using the PD image templates that I fear only a bot will be able to get in contact with them all, though. Deco 02:02, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Please ignore the above. I no longer contend that it is impossible to release one's works into the public domain - I am not a lawyer and there is no legal precedent in this matter. Relevent discussion. Deco 05:34, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
