Dynamic copyright messaging

Please consider using the deathyear parameter to automatically enhance the template to show how many years ago the authors died, or {{PD-anon-1996|year of publication}} for anonymous and pseudonymous works.

Use the following templates to create dynamic copyright messaging that will update as time passes and stay accurate when the author's death year (ADY) is known. Direction for including ADY is in each template document.
