[edit] Summary

collection of Chris 01:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

No substitute is available under a free license, nor could one be created that would provide the same information.
This image is used solely for the purpose of illustrating the topic in question, and does not impair the copyright holder's ability to sell the original work in any way.
As this image is a single stamp, and offsized from the original, it would not be useful for criminal reproduction, and therefore the use of this image does not pose a threat to the salability of the original.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a postage stamp. The copyright for it may be owned by the issuing authority, and there may be other restrictions on its reproduction. It is believed that the use of postage stamps

to illustrate the stamp in question (as opposed to things appearing in the stamp's design)
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Replacing image by Chris 22:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC) as fair use, as per discussion, the article specifically deals with the fact that the topic is tied directly with a stamp, to prove the existence of the topic itself. Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107, excerpted here: "the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. (highlighted sections emphasized by Chris 22:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC))

On seven national Scouting articles-five in Africa which the Scouting WikiProject had to save from afd earlier this year, plus Lithuania and Turkmenistan, the stamps don't illustrate the subject, they prove the existence of the subject, and so are an integral and structural part of the article. They provide a visual record where no other exists at present. There has to be some way fair use and article content can both be satisfied.
