GLKStamps.jpg (352 × 283 pixels, file size: 27 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

My own photo of a set of GLK postage stamps taken by me

Origin

These stamps are issued in the public domain by the Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands and are available to collectors around the world. There are no copyright on the design as they are released in the public domain as postage stamps and are used for the payment of mail that is sent to and from the GLK.

(As this is not a recognized nation, these are "cinderellas", not actual postage stamps.)

This work is copyrighted (or assumed to be copyrighted) and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content § Images or Misplaced Pages:Non-free content § Audio clips, and it is not covered by a more specific non-free content license listed at Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file copyright templates. However, it is believed that the use of this work: To illustrate the subject in question Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information On the English-language Misplaced Pages, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Misplaced Pages:Use rationale examples. Template:Non-free use rationale may be helpful for stating the rationale. This tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Fair use claimed for Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands

If the stamp designs are not public domain, the free image of the stamp should still be considered fair use:

1. it is a low resolution image
2. there is a good faith basis to believe it does not harm the issuer's ability to sell the stamps
3. it is used for informational purposes only
4. it adds significantly to the article
   1. to illustrate one attempt by the issuing micronation to legitimize
   2. to allow the reader to better judge the claim the stamps have philatelic value

This non-free media file should be replaced with a smaller version to comply with Misplaced Pages's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. According to Misplaced Pages's policy for non-free content, the amount of copyrighted work used under fair use should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Misplaced Pages should not be usable as substitutes for the original work. A high-resolution non-free image is questionable fair use and may be deleted per Misplaced Pages's copyright policy. In most cases, this reduction will occur automatically: simply wait a while and a bot will resize the image file according to the guideline at WP:IMAGERES. When an automatic reduction does not occur or a manual reduction is desired, the size of an image may be reduced in an image editing program or by saving and re-uploading a suitably sized thumbnail. Once a reduced version of this file has been uploaded: Please replace this template with {{subst:orphaned non-free revisions}} (through source edit) or {{orphaned non-free revisions|date=28 December 2024}} (through VisualEditor or Twinkle).Fair usetrue
