[edit] Image:Fazlur Khan Stamp Bangladesh.jpg

User:Ragib's edit summary argument as to why a fair use stamp image can be used to illustrate the subject depicted on the stamp:

well, a lot of precedent exists from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fair_use_stamp_images , so unless all of them have been removed, the use of the image should be ok

This is a specious argument. You're basically saying, "Everyone else does it, so it's OK". If every editor made the same argument, then none of the improperly used stamp images would get removed. Even if there are (many) other cases, it still doesn't make it right here. Read {{stamp}} carefully -- it says that stamp images can only be used to discuss the stamp itself. As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. howcheng {chat} 19:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I found that most of the images on Category:Fair_use_stamp_images are used in the articles on the biography-page of the person depicted. These should all be removed. --Ragib 19:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
