Happy #PublicDomainDay ! I am keeping a close eye on this page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikidataGalleries/WikiFlix/1930 as it will automatically fill with "new" (American) public domain films in the upcoming days and weeks, as #wikicommons and @wikidata editors will add more materials over time. Yesterday's score was 36, right now it's already 71.

I’m not sure
just discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death" and had to compile my favorite edit summaries
