| This is mainly a writeup of the rules I've been applying when doing philatelic articles, should help make sense of things if someone else takes an interest in the subject. ] 19:33, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC) | |||

| == Stamp image uploads == | |||
| Is there a standard file naming format for images of stamps uploaded to WP? I have a few scans that I'd like to use to illustrate some of the articles I've been writing as a part of ], but don't want to just give the images any old name. | |||
| If there isn't one already, perhaps something like <tt>Stamp_XXXXX_999999.jpg</tt> where XXXXX is the issuing country name (which would expand to as long as is needed for the country name) and 999999 is the Scott catalog number (including leading zeros). For example, <tt>Stamp_United_States_B00001.jpg</tt> would be the filename for the first US semipostal for breast cancer research, while <tt>Stamp_Prince_Edward_Island_000015.jpg</tt> would be the filename for Scott number 15 of stamps issued by PEI. I mention Scott numbers only because that's the set of catalogs that I've got handy and it provides a handy example. We could include the catalog name in the filename, but that seems a bit much. | |||
| Thoughts? ] 22:42, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :The format I've been using is "Stamp ''country'' ''year'' ''denomination'' ''disambig''.jpg". Year and denomination alone is sufficient to uniquely identify a large number of the world's stamps, and the disambig can be something like "red" or "crown watermark" or "Robert Goddard". Scott is not used so much outside the US nor do they list every stamp ever issued, plus their number system is copyrighted and they go after anyone who seems like a threat, such as, say, a large repository of free philatelic information... See on commons for a large collection of examples. ] 12:49, 26 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == This is an ACTIVE Wikiproject == | |||
| I've had to rescue us from the clutches of the "inactive project" list and to try and heighten our profile I've created the active project banner at the top of this page and the project page. | |||

| :And the next-to-be (yes, ok, slow) increase of ]. ] 17:55, 22 October 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ==Question== | |||
| Should we put a notice on the talk pages of every article related to Philately? I noticed that ] did that. I'm thinking this might bring some attention to this WikiProject. | |||

| == Classification of WikiProject == | |||
| Hi, | |||
| I notice that this WikiProject is classified on the main ] as being "Humanities" (it sits between "Media" and "Philosophy"). Is this intentional? I collect stamps myself, although I confess I haven't edited philately articles here at all, but I don't recall philately considering itself alonside philosophy! Can I suggest that "Hobbies and Recreation" might be a better place for people to find the project? | |||
| Incidentally, if you need an independent "outsider" to give an opinion on stamp articles, or you need a bit of extra input for a featured article candidate, please leave a message on my talk page – I'd be happy to help out a little. I don't know much postal history, I am a collector rather than a scholar, but I know GB and NSW stamps fairly well and a bit about stamps in general. | |||
| Also incidentally, we at ] put our name on talk pages of chemical substance articles, it seems to be common practice. Cheers, ] 06:56, 4 November 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == Stamp pages mentioning Lsd currency == | |||
| I notice that on many pages about GB Commonwealth stamps using ], such as ], Australia, Falkland Islands, etc, the ''d'' values are given in ''p''. This occurs even when the description relates to a stamp image that clearly shows the denomination as ''2d'' or similar. The pages on GB stamps and Canadian stamps use ''d'', however. Is there a reason for the use of p for d? In British currency usually ''p'' designates "new pence" (after February 1971 in UK). Thanks, ] 22:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :In Ireland for instance, during the £sd period Irish stamps had the currency written as 'p' for pingin, the Irish for penny, and when decimalisation came in the 'p' was dropped, so you only see a numeral for the ''decimal penny'' as in ] of definitive stamps that do not show a decimal ''penny'', just the numeral. Prior to 1968 the penny was shown as a sterling 'd' for penny. However, it should be clear what currency is being referred to on all stamp pages. ] 02:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I use "p" because Scott catalog does. It's a complete nuisance to try to keep track of the day/month/year of each nation's decimalization (UK is not the only place that changed). Any pedant wants to re-upload images or edit articles, be my guest. :-) ] 03:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Thank for the info; I take it that it would be OK to change these where appropriate. I think SG usually uses the local currency symbol, and I figure if the stamp itself says "4d" it should be OK to correct the text to match with that. Cheers, ] 06:16, 15 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Postage stamp copyright == | |||
| A useful task for this project is to research copyright status for stamp designs. About all we can say for sure is that 19th-c. images are most likely PD, and 21st-c. images are likely not. I've researched this some, but don't have a lot to show for it. It matters because PD images can go to commons, while ones still under copyright have to stay here. ] 03:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :A first step in this idea on commons : ]. ] 20:15, 22 February 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Fish on stamps to be deleted == | |||
| OK folks, time to spring into action - ] is proposed for deletion. Go weigh in if you think this material is at least as worth keeping as individual articles for each Pokemon. ] 03:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Holiday stamps == | |||
| Looking through the ] I noticed a redlinked ]. | |||
| I believe that Christmas is just one festivity in this large world and Misplaced Pages still had not looked at the other stamps of other cultures. So I started this stub. The information is just for US Postage stamps. I would like to invite all of you to expand this article and although there is still very much more to write about US Holiday stamps, I believe there is much more to say of other countries' stamps. I would interested to see about Muslim countries and Chinese issues, as also if other Western countries with a high inmigration population has issued special multicultural festival stamps. --] 10:58, 6 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Express Mail == | |||
| I noticed there are 3 articles that refer to Express Mail. Two are duplicates ], ] and the third ] that all refer to the express mail services as offered by postal administrations (] members) throughout the world. It seems to me that one of those duplicates should be deleted and used as a redirect while only one main article should cover the subject in depth with references to the express services offered by other, non-postal administration, carriers like ], etc. | |||
| Proposal: | |||
| *] should redirect to ] | |||
| *] shold be merged with ] | |||
| *] should be expanded to become the main article. | |||
| Opinions sought. ] 14:28, 22 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Sounds like a good idea. Lots of left hands not knowing what right hands are doing, a single article suffices since I doubt the subject can get longer than 3-4 screenfuls even with excruciating detail. ] 14:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Romanian stamp dies == | |||
| I'm guessing that someone on this project can do a better job than I can on the description of ]. - ] | ] 04:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
