the copyrights. -- In any event if the USPS was as concerned and as rigid in their thinking as the guardians of WP 'fair-use' policy are it seems they would have made some sort of mention of the subject of size and res'. Not even a cursory reference is made by the USPS to the idea. That and the idea that no private or commercial copyright holders would be compromised if these images were somewhat larger and clearer when used in the philatelic pages at WP is what I will appeal to WP with. I am still doing a bit of research and doing 'test runs' with this idea. I hope to have a draft of the appeal written up in a day or so, and when I do I will run it by here so you guys can take one more swipe at it, or perhaps so you can add something that might also help with wording the appeal. This is not to say that your criticisms and doubts do not help, as they indeed have.
815:. As indicated in these examples, it is accepted that fair use should include using a copyright stamp in a Knowledge article about the stamp itself or in an article discussing the stamps of a country. At the other end of the spectrum is using a stamp purely as illustration of its subject, such as Elvis, which is not acceptable. In between these uses, it is not always clear cut. For example, using a stamp to illustrate a statement in a non-philatelic article that "Elvis's image has appeared on postage stamps" is probably not appropriate (as the image is not required to follow the point), but it might be if the stamp itself is discussed in the article and the image is needed to understand the discussion, e.g., "Elvis appeared on a stamp of the Netherlands with a peculiar lurid look which resulted in the stamp being withdrawn." 1173:
they do at all) as no one is being compromised as might someone whose 'media picture' or some such is being displayed clearly here at WP. Stan pointed out if they allow one sort of image to be larger than other types of iamges, others might complain, however, in the other cases, as far as I know, all involve private/commercial images, unlike those of the USPS. And unlike other images, those of the USPS are produced with tax dollars, and seems that they ought to be allowed in the public domain in the same manner as the other US stamp images to begin with. This would seem to be the definitive difference between US stamp images and other images. As I said, just an exercise. It's unfortunate that more than 30 years of US government stamp issues are restricted in such a manner.
1349:-- In the interest of improved access, esp to those with impaired eyesight, perhaps the appeal can also make reference to this idea (larger print/image), as stamp images in particular are small and often have many details in the design that can not be discerned without magnification, as is the case with the Viking Mission issue. Almost all of the details of the design can not be discerned, making reference to them in the article sort of futile. If it were not for the extending soil sampler, the Mars probe would barely be recognizable. Also, the print along the lower side of the image is barely readable. As it is, the blurred image of the Viking probe almost looks as if someone heaped a load of junk onto the structure. 1021:
avoid paying postage (a lot of time and effort to save a few cents), I don't see why WP would be concerned there. Unlike the copyright holders of box covers, etc, the USPS has given permission to use such images for educational purposes without any restrictions on size and resolution. It is on that premise I would base my appeal. However, I am slowly resigning to the reality that my concerns here are just one more among the many others. I was hoping that some sort of appeal could be submitted in the case of images of USPS issues, as such restrictions are indeed an impediment to those who wish to author philatelic references that are complete. Oh well, thank you once again for your time and effort here.

be compromised by relaxing such limits on size and res'. It would seem this is the definitive distinction that separates stamp images from most of the other types. ie.paintings, celeb' photos, album covers, media box covers etc. Also, as the USPS is a branch of the federal government, anything that it issues is, once again, distinctly in a class apart from those other commercially and privately owned images. As Ww2censor mentioned, and at this point I have no reason to doubt this, it probably won't be successful, but it would be interesting to see their reasoning for any opposition regarding these points outlined nonetheless.
3707:. The redundant Lincoln category was perhaps created by a sloppy user who might be lazy or ignorant enough not to check the existing topical stamp categories. Re "hundreds(!!) of categories for philately", I don't see a big problem here. Yes, some of them may be redundant, but as soon as this is detected, such categories are merged, as is the case of two Lincoln categories we were just witnesses of. However, we have a robust overall categorization system for philately on Commons. And I believe by-year categories are a must on Commons, since this concept is widely used for other topics, just look at 1006:
hundreds of thousands of non-free images, WP is a handy target for any disgruntled copyright holder that wants to sue it out of existence, and there are thousands of uploaders who want non-free images on WP, no matter whether it's legal or moral, and no matter what the cost. So they spoil it for everybody, and if we make an exception for one case, then all the others howl about they should have an exception too, and we're back to chaos again. (I worked on fair-use cleanup a couple years ago, and so my own talk page archives have some examples of how nasty people can get about it.)
1308:
concoct scenarios of massive RIAA-style lawsuits, bankruptcy of the foundation, and the shutdown of WP. Also note that it's not actually in the interest of copyright holders to be clear about what they will go along with as fair use - no lawyer would advise you to preannounce that you will do nothing if the egregious violation is only 299px instead of 300px across. Also thinking like a lawyer, copyright violations can make handy leverage for what one really wants - for instance, to try to get unflattering content removed from the USPS article. Paranoiacs worry about that too.Ā :-)

replaced by any other non stamp image of Viking. As long as the stamp is discussed in relation to the image, the image is again justified. The image size is approximately 293k because of the size of the image, not because of its resolution, which is low. To my surprise, the image came out quite clear regardless, so apparently, ultra high res' is not required to obtain a good image of a stamp, unless of course you want to zoom in and examine the paper fiber. So thar' she blows! The image is up on the

other uses, without such self-defeating restrictions in the first place. Are the restrictions set in stone, or would a (united) effort to allow clearer images be in vain? Seems to me that stamp images would be the definitive exception to the resolution / size restrictions, esp since the image size is inherently small to begin with. Also, by main space article, do you mean that the image can only be used in its own article, not in a section of an article such as the one in question? The article
784:'replaceability =' Also, if the 1978 Viking Mission postage stamp is uploaded in this 'fair use' capacity it can only be used in a specific article (which must be specified in fair use rationale beforehand). Am not sure whether or not the stamp may be discussed in a topographical capacity. Apparently the Viking issue can be used as an example about the subject of 'space exploration on stamps' in general, but can not be used as an illustration for a discussion of the Viking satellite itself. 1581:
themselves are not proper names. ie.post office, constitution, president, postage, but in the former examples they are. Before changing the title back using a capital I thought I would confer with you to inform you of my reason. Also I am doing so because I would like not to have the 'redirect' note appear under the title when the page is accessed, as this page is linked up to a fair number of pages with the link/title spelled with a capital 'P'. Thanks for looking out.
1205:
an issue to take up with the copyright office so I may as well howl at the moon on that note. Still I hope an appeal can be made to WP on the basis that the USPS is not concerned with size limitations and that no private or commercial copyright holder would be compromised by WP offering clear images of these stamps in its philatelic pages. Call me naive and overly optimistic, but it still wouldn't hurt to try. After all, changes have been made before.
31: 4286: 2413:
I have split feelings about including commercial addresses altogether as it would allow an unscrupulous vendor to upload images, with the commercial sources/link, rendering the file in effect a form of advertising and solicitation. -- On the other hand, if we bar commercial sources altogether, we cut ourselves off from a vast source of stamp/cover images that would seldomly or never be found in other places. --
845:
have good photos of Viking already? But if one looks closer, there are lots of spheres in the sky reminiscent of McCall's work (was he the designer?), and the arm is positioned for extreme perspective - is the depth to punch up the image, or to emphasize the collection aspect of the mission, or what? In a way, *in*accurate aspects of a stamp image are more likely to be good justifications for its inclusion.

section or a "Viking Mission in popular culture" to a general article about the program. . You might say something like "The US government issued postage stamps to promote the program. One stamp, issued in 1978, depicts an impossibly huge Viking lander on a tiny Mars. The stamp was beautifully engraved and printed in many colors, including an inaccurate (in space) blue sky."

available. By using WebCite in addition to the original link, the source will never be lost. This is particularly relevant I think to contentious matters and ephemeral pages like philatelic ones that are created by hobbyists on free space before disappearing without notice when the collector changes his ISP, GeoCities for example where many pages were lost.

Wiki' I would be interested in approaching them with the issue and request to include/use such images. If you know of any preferable way/person to approach them with this I would certainly be interested and most appreciative. By not allowing images after 1978, they are blocking more than 30 years of postage images from their archives!

topic to keep. If we start adding one country's stamp/postal history link, why should we not add another few, or a dozen, or maybe even all of them? It could be the start of a very slippery slope and as GWillHickers has said "No one was saying that 'everything' in philately should be added". Where do we start and where do we stop?
3489:. The phrase "this is a survey" does not seem to be encyclopedic and sounds too trivial for an English Knowledge article (though it could be OK on Simple English Knowledge). Contrary to that, summarizing the key points is what we should seek to write in the lead, since a distinct definition line would be impossible to compose for 2461:). This is because every Commons page has the File history section with the Date/Time field meaning that on this date and at this time the file was uploaded from a source (i.e. eBay in our case) and, of course, was available there at the time of uploading, if even now it disappeared. The latter concept is somewhat similar to the 513:
stricter than strictly necessary, but even with the restrictions, there are thousands of dubious uploads every single day, including entireties of movies, records, etc, enough to get WP shut down if they're not dealt with. The legal status of currency, as with stamps, is all over the place, I don't know much about that.

While I have always acknowledged inaccuracies and outright mistakes in using Knowledge's redundant and disorganized category structure please be reminded that the greater and far more serious mess here is obviously one that was the result of various editors who have created the 1820:"If we start adding one country's stamp/postal history link, why should we not add another few, or a dozen, or maybe even all of them?

isn't being used to illustrate the Viking like some photo that could replace it could, it is being displayed to show the accurate depiction. Would this arrangement fly? Also, the article is about space exploration history on stamps. Would the image be allowable on that premise alone? (almost) at wit's end.
4065: 3322:
This format is awkward, especially given the lengthy titles for these articles. The self-referrential aspect isn't consistent with other encyclopedic articles. It's also unncessary as it's obvious from the title of the article what the nature of the article is. But perhaps most compelling, this is

John I don't want to seem mean or over-critical but it seems you just don't like wikipedia's fair-use policy and instead of working with it or trying to understand it, you would prefer to change it which might be nice.

In the case of the Memin Pinguin stamp for instance, no textual description can do justice to what is (to the USian eye) an extreme stereotype, so it's easy to justify. By comparison, the Viking stamp initially seems kind of uninteresting - if the image is accurate, then what use is it to WP when we

In the case of the Viking Mission 1978 issue, would it be 'Wiki-Legal' to give general back ground info' of the Viking mission and 'then', to justify using the stamp image simply say..

I invented the "this is a survey" phrasing, at least partly because I wanted to follow the then-recommendation of always repeating the title in the lede, but have never liked it. I agree that the three key phrases should have links, but if anybody has a more elegant phrasing, I'd be glad of it. (I

Can I restate my opposition to changing the UK stamps on Wikimedia to by year. They work well by reign and in fact there are only a handful of stamps in each of these categories. Also most QEII stamps are still under copyright so this would result in a large number of empty categories in the last 50
2821:
I will think about that. Regarding Wikimedia categories for British stamps I have to point out that UK collectors always think in terms of the reigns of monarchs, which is how it is currently organised and I think I renamed some of them to make that more consistent a while ago. These reigns could be

This raises more questions. What about other commercial addresses? It would seem that in a matter of time these addresses would become obsolete also. On that basis should all commercial sources be barred? It would be interesting to see how may stamp images in commons come from commercial sources. --

I am sure policy has changed numerous times throughout Knowledge's history when it was merited. Just for the exercise, I will submit an 'appeal' of sorts that addresses the subject of size limitations regarding images of 1978+ US postage, esp since there are no copyright holders out there who would
1082:
Am sorry I gave you the impression that I want to dodge policy. Yes, you are correct in that I am obviously not pleased with the 'fair-use' policy regarding stamp images. Was just trying to find out if the points I brought up would amount to something that someone could approach policy makers with,

I can understand the concern of copyright holders worrying that people might 'capture' images at WP and not purchase them. But in the case of stamp images, they are no longer available at the P.O..

Likewise. "Niassa Company" seems like an anachronism constructed from the modern name of the province, which dates from long after the company's dissolution. Don't use modern online Britannica as a reference! They've been quietly borrowing from WP; it's been a little bit of a shock to see some of

Yes, it would be nice to have a better standard developed for the placement of categories. As most of my uploads are US stamp images with a historical theme and while in the process of fixing source and license information I am trying to get the categories in line with some sort of standard indeed.
3036:
I think even the UK stamps should have by-year subcategories, and the by-monarch idea seems good too. Even though the number of stamp issues in some years may be small, we're starting to see multiple copies of particular stamps, to illustrate variations, postmarks, etc. There have also been a few

Careful.. I said that "I don't quite understand how these images could not be considered government issues per US copyright office claim", ...esp since they are paid for with tax dollars. ie.If they are not works of the gov, then whose works are they? I don't doubt for a minute that the USPS holds
1204:
Obviously this topic can not so easily be put into one box. If the USPS is a gov agency, headed by a cabinet secretary, and its images are produced with tax dollars, I don't quite understand how these images could not be considered government issues per US copyright office claim. But that would be

I agree that our fair use policy seems overly restrictive for stamps, and let's be honest, there is no postal organization in the world that would actually insist that WP take down some non-free stamp image. But the current compromise was so hard-won, after years of internal fighting, that it would

There is no reason why a stamp design cannot be discussed on a "non-philatelic" page and a fair use image be included to supplement the discussion. As Stan points out, you would need some discussion of the stamp's design or appearance. Just as an example, you might add a "Viking Mission on stamps"

I don't think it's different in Portuguese to English, as on a 1921 issue the name of the company is give as "Companhia do Nyassa". Possibly the confusion arises because the province in Northern Mozambique was Niassa? It could be that it's a local / foreign issue, rather than a Portuguese / English

I changed the auto-archiving from 250 days to 120 days; 8 months just seem way too long to keep any discussions live. I don't recall when or who set this up and if there was any agreement on this topic but if an issue have not been addressed in 4 months I doubt they will ever be discussed further.

A good question. If there were that many pages on postal history with respect to various individual countries this might be a concern, however, perhaps I'm mistaken, there are not that many. If it got to a point where the 'See also' section became flooded with such links, then, at that point some

While we don't have loads of UK stamps uploaded to the commons, if we follow the US or Canadian models, stamps should be in the year sub-categories and not in the parent category unless they just don't fit. The categorising of the UK stamps could well do with reorganising perhaps in an individual

On another note, yes, when I add links to the pages I create I am indeed trying to promote 'my page', as I am sort of proud of them, even though they are relatively simple works, but foremost I am trying to promote philately here at WP, hopefully in a way that is not obtrusive.
