Reformatting

I did some research about this cancellation series and added references and gave it a more encyclopedic introduction and background. I would welcome help on formatting and how to set up the title correctly. Also, is it okay to list several of the cancellations afterwards, next to the images, or should I write more historical context for each one, like I did in the beginning? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SoundNotater (talk • contribs) 07:19, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SoundNotater, I suggest organizing it with Conception / Formation section, and a section on Events with subsections for 100th Anniversary Opening Day on the San Francisco Bay (2017), 30th Birthday of Lady Washington (2019). If there are a ton of minor events in-between, create an Events table like they do for conventions and festivals, listing the postmasters, venues, and stamp cancellation issued.

These images should not be deleted. They are an important part of the article USPS Building Bridges Special Cancellation Series. One image is also used in Cancellation (mail)

Yes, I understand they were uploaded by the Art Director connected to the project. But, because Wikipedia asks for images that the copyright owner has permission to give, it is strongest for Wikipedia to accept these files to legitimately enhance the quality of the articles they are used in.

SoundNotater, you should discuss this at the nomination page. Karen Lile should also try to make a request for certain images to be approved. If there are non-copyrighted pictures taken from the public events themselves or in the public domain those might be better. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 18:15, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AngusWOOF, so, if I were to get a copy of an original cancellation envelope, or were to find one for sale on ebay, for example, would it be better for me to take a photo of that and contribute it? Or, what about taking the image from the USPS Press Release? For the video, I think there is only primary source footage for this, because it was taken from the ship during the cannon battle. So, hopefully Karen Lile will read this and go through a process of approval for the video footage. Would I post on her talk page? SoundNotater (talk). Sorry for all the questions. I am new to Wikipedia, as you know. — Preceding undated comment added 18:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SoundNotater and Karen Lile, please read Wikipedia's image use policy WP:IUP and non-free content WP:NFC and see how there are non-copyrighted photos that could be used or how to share permission for the logos and designs. If someone has public photos of the events that are not copyrighted (not posted to magazines, blogs, websites, newspapers) then those could be considered.
