[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Lou Gehrig
Description	Commemorative stamp issued by United States Postal Service in 1989 honoring baseball great Lou Gehrig. © U.S. Postal Service. All rights reserved: further use requires written permission and/or licensing by the USPS; see USPS Licensing
Source	scanned from collection of User:JGHowes
Article	Lou Gehrig
Portion used	all
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	Solely for fair use on the Wikipedia article describing this stamp commemorating Lou Gehrig This image is a reduced, low-resolution image of the stamp. As such, it is non-reproduceable for commercial purposes. This image does not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of the stamp to the copyright holder. This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
Replaceable?	Not replaceable; all U.S. Postal Service stamps issued after 1978 are copyrighted and non-free pursuant to Title 17 of the United States Code.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a United States postage stamp produced in 1978 or later. The copyright for it is owned by the United States Postal Service. It is believed that the use of postage stamps

to illustrate the stamp in question (as opposed to things appearing in the stamp's design)
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information.

Usage that does not fall under fair use requires a license from the USPS. This includes usage of the stamp's artwork to illustrate its subject, rather than the stamp itself.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page.
