Also note that this image may not be in the public domain in the 9th Circuit if it was first published on or after July 1, 1909 in noncompliance with US formalities, unless the author is known to have died in 1953 or earlier (more than 70 years ago) or the work was created in 1903 or earlier (more than 120 years ago.)[1] |  |

Commons requires that images be free in the source country and in the United States. If this file is in the public domain outside the United States, add |pdsource=yes to this template to hide this warning.If this file is not in the public domain in the source country but will become so in the future, add |out_of_copyright_in= and then the year its copyright will expire. |

IMPORTANT FEATURE
Using
((PD-US-expired-abroad|out_of_copyright_in=YEAR))
will automatically ask mark the image as eligible to be moved to Commons at the appropriate time. Remember that copyright expires at the start of the year after. For instance, an author who died in 1954 in a country with a copyright term of life + 70 years goes out of copyright - not 70 years after their date of death, in 2024, but on January 1, 2025.
Example of usage:
((PD-US-expired-abroad|out_of_copyright_in=2025))
For an author who died in 1954 in a life+70 country.
Alternative, shorter usage:
((PD-US-expired-abroad|2025))
Same circumstances.
