Greece (4th of August Regime)[edit]
I have a question about copyright status of the stamp, issued by the 4th of August Regime (1936–1941). It contains an official emblem of this regime and emblem of the National Youth Organisation.
Is it OK to upload this stamp to Commons?
Stamp is here.
Also here, and here (lower left corner of the image).
Circular see also link with the copyright template[edit]
It appears that the "stamps of country" copyright notice template is adding a circular "See also" link to all the categories that it has been added to. For instance Category:Stamps of Hungary. Does anyone know how to fix the issue? --Adamant1 (talk) 10:59, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
Stamps as state symbols and signs[edit]
Anyone know what the copyright status of stamps is in relation to being state emblems or signs? I assume for them to be state emblems, signs, and therefore public domain that the law would have to explicitly say as much. Or can we just assume stamps are de-facto PD in any country where state emblems and signs already are even if stamps aren't explicitly mentioned in the law? Personally, I think it's nonsensical to call stamps state symbols or signs in the first place, but a lot of stamps are tagged as PD with that being the rational for why they are public domain. Including in cases where the law doesn't explicitly include stamps. So I'd really appreciate some clarity about it. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:33, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Armenia explicitly call postal stamps state signs (государственные знаки почтовой оплаты - почтовые марки, поштова марка - державний знак, почтовая марка – государственный знак, государственные знаки почтовой оплаты - почтовые марки, государственные знаки почтовой оплаты - почтовые марки, аломатҳои давлатии пардохти алоқаи почта - маркаҳои почта, 45) .. վճարման պետական նշաններ etc.). Moldova and Romania define stamps as symbols of state sovereignty. We don't know much about other countries, perhaps we haven't looked into the original laws.
