Your picture
I don't think the stamps are in the public domain yet. They should be copyrighted. If they aren't, please update the copyright status on Commons. Otherwise, request the uploader right here and re-upload the picture here along with a fair use rational. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 09:59, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

lbigfoot: OK, please guide me further. What must I do with the copyright status on Commons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbigfoot (discuss • contribs)


 * Could you please check if the stamps are copyrighted first? Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 11:08, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I am not with you? How can stamps be copyrighted? They appear in Stamp catalogs. I cannot use a stamp catalog number because that is copywrited. But how can a stamp itself be copywrited?

 * Maybe they can't be. I'm no expert on this. Even if they are not copyrighted, you need to find the appropriate licences. You can find some help at commons:COM:HD. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 11:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * So what if I then load the image to picassa or comething similar and then link. Is that an infingement on Wiki policy? Lbigfoot (talk) 11:58, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * As I said, I have little knowledge about this. Please ask people at the commons - they are more 'professional'. Thanks Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 12:01, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I've looked at your book and it appears to be a pretty good project. One warning though: since you seem to be an expert, try to avoid original research. It's a common mistake and you don't want to make it. :) Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 12:20, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I just did a commons search and found this. Might be helpful perhaps? Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 12:25, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I am trying to link to an image on Wikipedia I am unsuccessful. Can you help please? [|My site]Lbigfoot (talk) 18:55, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but I don't think the page exists. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 07:15, 25 June 2010 (UTC)


 * As a response to your email question, the image is uploaded to Wikipedia locally and is not available in Wikimedia Commons. You can get it to the Commons using this thingy. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 09:47, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
