Comment We should take this to the image shop and have the black background changed to transparency. Nezzadar ☎ 16:40, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Great to see you nominating at en:wiki, Mbz1! Feel free to contact me in the future if you want assistance with English captioning, etc. I'm not fussed about the background, but--please correct if this is mistaken--there appears to be slight chromatic fringeing on this image?

Thank you for your kind offer, Durova! I did my best with removing CA. If it is still not good, maybe somebody else would like to give it a try.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:11, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak support. Okay, but mild focus issues hold this back from full support. Durova³⁴² 01:37, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The black helps to easily see the... how do you call it in English.... the teeth of the stamp. The spacing of them is an useful information for collectors. Maybe it would be good to add some size reference so that they can measure this. Franklin.vp 00:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Are we sure about the copyright status of this? Commons:Template:PD-China states that "all non-photographic works enter the public domain fifty years after the death of the creator". It says nothing about state-created images (I would assume the PRC owns the copyright on the stamp). howcheng {chat} 17:02, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to this should be OK. Now it is 2009, the stamp was made in 1950 that is more than 50 years back.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:30, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you're linking to the same thing I am: Commons:Template:PD-China, which says nothing about state-owned works. howcheng {chat} 18:53, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've nothing to add about copyright of the image.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:45, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Supportmaybe some tweaks are necessary with the blur and the CA. But not everyday you see Mao and Stalin together. IMO iconic representative of totalitarianism.AlexanderMegarrido (talk) 09:26, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
