Hi

In view of my position on the differentiation of ships and shipwrecks and my disbelief that shipwreck categories are tagged with ships rather than shipwrecks - you might find that I am changing a number of your awb tagging from 2 years ago - please discuss as the shipwreck talk page rather than here or my talk - if you have a problem with that. While shipwrecks is a project with an obvious scope - I see no reason to have categories with ships tags rather than shipwreck tags - I do hope you understand...

Greetings Brad101

I upload a photo-file of the USS Constitution 1947 issue 3c Commemorative stamp in COMMONS (USS_Constitution-1947-3c.jpg) and tried to insert it into the USS Constitution page (http://en.wikipedia.org/USS_Constitution) but alas there is a 'technical error' of some sort that escapes me as I am a novice at HTML editing. I tried to us a copy/template and substituted the above file name, but that attempt bombed also. In any event, the photo-file is here at Wiki-commons if you would like to incorporate it into the page. It's an engraved stamp and depicts the sails and rigging quite clearly, esp when you zoom in. Hope you can use it. Gwillhickers (talk) 09:04, 11 February 2010 (UTC) gwillhickers

I guess that's the one you wanted. I'm not exactly sure if the copyright is correct as you listed it. If you took the photo then it isn't work of the US government. I need to be sure of the copyright before I can put it in the article. I had been hoping to get a photo of the stamp one day. Thanks very much for uploading it. --Brad (talk) 12:43, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

HMS Calliope (1884)

The FAC was actually promoted before you opposed, which in turn led to the delegates reverting your oppose. Unfortunately now your only redress is to bring up your issues on the article's talk page since the article cannot be nominated at FAR for three to six months at a minimum per the rules there. I sympathize with you on this, in fact I was planning on reviewing the article tonight. C'est la vie... -MBK004 00:32, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I was aware the article had been promoted before my oppose. I opposed because the issues weren't addressed. Coincidentally, two days ago I posted reasons why I hardly review articles anymore. At least they have proven me correct by their latest actions. --Brad (talk) 01:58, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Also, although you will most definitely see this in due time, you might want to jump on it now. Apparently your proposal with the shipwrecks folks have raised some bad feelings? This also involves the Meta project banner issue which we all know will come around again. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ships#Ships.2FShipwrecks_tagging -MBK004 01:34, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Brad, I will be happy to discuss your concerns when I return. Your comment on the Navy site raises an interesting issue: whether a document which bears a publisher's name should be cited to that name, or the new one, and the fact that the source is online may bear on that. As to citing infoboxes, there is no consistency in ship FAs. As to citation format, there are a variety of styles and preferences. I will be happy to discuss your concerns about these matters.

Greetings again Brad101:

After a little research I discovered that stamps issued before 1978 are in the public domain and that licensing doesn't apply.. In fact there is a page, 'List of people on stamps of the United States' that contains dozens of images of US Postage Stamps, though their image quality and resolution are not the best.

I will be uploading more high quality photos I've taken of various US postage stamps with a historical theme. Many stamps were issued in honor of Presidents and notables but many were also issued commemorating events, famous battles of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, as well as an array of other events. Hope they become of use to the history pages here at Wiki'. All the best, GWH
