Is "King Of Jazz" (1930) in the public domain?

Someone from archive.org says so but I can't find that information anywhere else. Do you know any databases where I can check this? Kazachstanski nygus (talk) 19:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Already answered at COM:VPC where you posted the same question. --Rosenzweig τ 19:33, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

@Rosenzweig Thanks. Kazachstanski nygus (talk) 19:41, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

deletion of my all images

Why delete all my uploads from User:Shonyx 136.158.60.178 01:47, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Maybe because you are bringing a lot of unnecessary drama to the project? Maybe because you are violating copyrights? Just guessing. - Jmabel ! talk 05:33, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

What is going on with this user? Most of the DR's comes off as being rather unhinged Trade (talk) 13:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

@Trade: Both user and IP are now blocked.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 12:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

At the template Creator:Robert L. Knudsen "Storm Lake" appears twice, how do I get rid of the second one? RAN (talk) 20:17, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Creator templates normally only fetch data from wikidata, but this one is filled out. remove the sections you find unnecessary or redundant (if they are already recorded on wikidata). RZuo (talk) 20:25, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks! I wasn't aware you could override Wikidata in the template. --RAN (talk) 00:30, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. --RZuo (talk) 20:55, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Category for aquariums in restaurants？

• 
  example
• 
  Aquarium Restaurant

not the ones for decoration but for keeping the seafood alive. commonly found in asian seafood restaurants. what should they be called? aquariums in restaurants? restaurant aquariums?

problem is there're also restaurants that use aquariums as a gimmick/theme of decoration. how to tell the two apart?--RZuo (talk) 22:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

File:Oswald the Lucky Rabbit ad.jpg

Hello, I noticed that the source for this image is wrong - that ad doesn't appear in "The Film Daily" in 1927 (Jan-Jun or Jul-Dec) and I can't find it anywhere else. The uploader, CokesBucks, has been blocked indefinitely for sockpuppeting and his main account is inactive since 2020. What should I do? Just nominate the image for deletion? Kazachstanski nygus (talk) 15:16, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kazachstanski nygus: By its content, it must be around that time. You could nominate it for deletion if you want to force the issue of someone else doing the research to get the source right, but it is presumably legitimately public domain. - Jmabel ! talk 15:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kazachstanski nygus: I found it in the linked source and updated our link to point to the page. From Hill To Shore (talk) 21:11, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
