Copyright status?[edit]

To determine whether this is public domain in the UK or not (whether this may be uploaded to Wikipedia) one needs to keep in mind the United Kingdom's copyright law: Life plus 70 years. That means an author who died in 1948 or before would have his or her work PD in the UK. Commons:Commons:International_copyright_quick_reference_guide

https://archive.org/details/corpsdedroitott01turkgoog/ says that the author was born in 1872. If he lived to 120 (after which we can presume he's dead), he would have died in 1992. Unless I get confirmation of his death, this book may not be uploaded until 1992+70 = 2062.

Minor criticisms from Hogarth[edit]

Hogarth p. 189:

"For example, the widest acceptation of 'Asia Minor' does not include the trans-Euphratean country in which Diarbekir lies"
- I'm wondering if he means historic Armenia
Caesarea (Kayseri) does not include Sis
"Suk es-Chiouk" is the correct form, instead of "Suk-el-cheik", as composite Arabic names should only have the definite article and the following word hyphened, and because it is actually a plural word
"Sheiklı ul-Islam" is the correct form, and not "Sheikh-ul-Islam", the latter described as a "common" error
- My note: It must be really common as I see "Sheikh-ul-Islam" frequently
Criticizes the author for having too much "Gallicism" to the point where he, according to Hogarth, mistakenly uses the name "Lord Roseberry" for Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, a former prime minister of the UK

Public domain in 2023[edit]

According to United Kingdom law, published works fall into the public domain seventy (70) years after the death of the author (see Commons:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United Kingdom). According to Hathi Trust https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/004692481 George Miller died in 1952. 1952 + 70 = 2022. When it turns 2022, on the day of Miller's death, please upload his works to the Wikimedia Commons. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:03, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As per the Commons it is 2023, not 2022 WhisperToMe (talk) 17:58, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
