[edit] Stamp images

Say, can I get you to do two things? One, tag definitely-PD stamps like Image:Sherwin.jpg with {{PD-stamp}} and it will eventually get moved to commons (empire stamps are all crown copyright, so safely PD after 50 years), and categorize the less-certainly-PD stamps like Image:Duloz9.jpg into Category:Postage stamp images so we don't lose track of them.

Will do, Stan. Ecphora (talk) 12:15, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Stan- There are only two subcategories in Category:Postage stamp images, Fair use images and PD images. Many of the stamp images I've posted are PD in the US because they were published pre 1923, but are not necessarily PD worldwide. See Template:PD-US-1923-abroad. These don't belong in either subcategory. Shouldn't there be a subcategory for PD-US on Category:Postage stamp images? Ecphora (talk) 14:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
To me it would depend on how many there are likely to be. If there's only ever going to be a handful at any one time, pending research on countries' stamp copyrights, then I would just throw them in the main category manually, not bother with a subcategory. If they are going to accumulate past 30-40 or so, then a new template/subcategory starts to make sense. I think the former case is more likely, because people in the other wikis are motivated to do whatever work it takes to figure out what images are OK for commons. Stan (talk) 17:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
