Hi all! As announced earlier, Freedom of Panorama comes into force coming Friday 15 July 2016.
Press release: https://be.wikimedia.org/wiki/Press_release_Freedom_of_Panorama_in_Belgium According to Belgian law, a law change comes into force on the 10th day after the publication in the Belgian journal (Belgisch Staatsblad <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nl:Belgisch_Staatsblad> / Moniteur belge <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fr:Moniteur_belge>). (source: fr <http://www.senate.be/doc/making-laws_fr.html>/nl <http://www.senate.be/www/?MIval=/index_senate&MENUID=14110&LANG=nl&PAGE=/doc/making-laws_nl.html> ) Publication took place on 5 July 2016. (source: fr <http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi/article_body.pl?language=fr&pub_date=2016-07-05&numac=2016011277&caller=summary> /nl <http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi/article_body.pl?language=nl&pub_date=2016-07-05&numac=2016011277&caller=summary> ) Some things need to be updated Friday: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Freedom_of_panorama https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:NoFoP-Belgium And created: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:FoP-Belgium similar to Template:FoP-Nederland <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:FoP-Nederland> and others in Category:FoP templates <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:FoP_templates>. About 1411 images that have been deleted on Commons as result of no Freedom of Panorama, need to be restored - similar to Public Domain Day <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Domain_Day>. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Belgian_FOP_cases Please make sure you categorise the restored files, which can mean that the category needs to be restored too. Based on the deletion log I will collect the restored images, similar to Public Domain Day. For those in Belgium (or close), be welcome to join our launch event in Brussels: https://be.wikimedia.org/wiki/Invitation_to_the_Freedom_of_Panorama_in_Belgium_launch_event Thanks all!
