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.

[edit] Fair use for Janne Holmén

The image Image:Janne holmen stamp.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright I (Boguslav (talk) feel it is covered by fair use because:

it is a low resolution scan of an actual stamp in my possession;
copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the original stamp;
it does not limit the copyright owners' right to sell the original stamps in any way;
the image on the stamp is significant because it depicts Janne Holmén in the Olympics 2002, in which he won a gold metal
the picture is only being used for non profit and informational purposes;
its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows a significant achievment of the subject of this article and how the event depicted was very historically significant to the public of Åland.
