Hello welcome to wikipedia. I actually have a stamp from Buenos Aires province dated 1858! You could find some images for your article. remember to categorize. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:22, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

You might want to see Category:Postage stamps by country. From what I can see a page on Argentina doesn't yet exist so your article should go at the beginning of an entire page on Argentine philately. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

All of your other work on Argentine philately should be sub sectioned here Postage stamps and postal history of Argentina. Good luck editing and check out that categoryErnst Stavro Blofeld 17:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

You can see how incomplete everythin is. From my personal knowledge I think there are over 700 countries states and post offices abroad that have produced stamps. really that category should have over 700 different entries. Your work would be much much needed. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:33, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for your comments and editing of my contribution dealing with the early postal history of Argentina. Yes, I am working on a more complete contribution on Argentine postal history and will post it, as you suggest, on an entire article on Argentine stamps.

I do have a question for you: what is the legal basis for putting images of Argentine postage stamps on Wikipedia Commons? I had put a few stamps on the Commons, but they were deleted by an administrator who said that since commons was an international category, I needed to have permission from Argentine authorities or Argentine copyright law to use them. Do you know of any such permission or copyright provision? Or can we get around the problem by putting the images on the English Wikipedia page itself, since I believe it is covered by US copyright law inasmuch as the servers are in the United States?

Again, many thanks for your help. Jchild 19:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stamp copyright

Where is the stamp copyright discussion on the commons that you mentioned on the Philately Project page? I was unable to find it as you did not provide a link. Cheers ww2censor 04:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish advertising translation

Thanks for taking a look at my article on Spanish advertising translation. I must, however respectfully disagree with your feeling that it is "original research". I explain my reasons on the edit summary and also the talk page dealing with the article. Per the delete message, I have also improved the article (I hope), and I have thus removed the delete message.Jchild 12:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I note your comments, but have applied both significance and tone tags for the reasons stated on the discussion page. If the article stays, it still needs much work to have a less sales-tone/more global perspective view required of wikipedia as an encyclopedia. Rgds, - Trident13 13:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peacekeeping: opposition in Latin America

Good evening! I came across the interesting article above, and I wanted to suggest that you modify its style slightly so that (even though it may end up being less vivid) it may adhere more neatly to the tone that is, for better or worse, the standard on Wikipedia. Good as it is right now, it does read a little informal in places, which makes the article hard to access for later edits and hard to keep NPOV.

Oh, and consider moving it; the current format doesn't seem altogether intuitive, and might cause problems linking to it later.

And do keep up the good work.
