Talk:United States postmasters' provisional stamps

Merge proposal

edit

It has been suggested that this entry be merged into "Postage stamps and postal history of the United States." The purpose of this gallery, however, was to allow Wikipedia users to see all of those early provisionals together, while merging it into the Postage Stamps article would require cutting out most of the images, given that the approach there is to employ selective rather than all-inclusive illustration. A link, of course would be appropriate.BFolkman (talk) 20:15, 25 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

The title of the article suggests that it's about a book titled A Gallery of U. S. Postmasters' Provisional Stamps, 1845-47. Anyway, articles consisting only of galleries are unprecedented, as far as I can tell, and the purpose will probably be better served by a category, either here in Wikipedia, or in Wikimedia Commons. --- Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 20:25, 25 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
I would suggest renaming to United States postmasters provisional stamps, and merging the section Postage stamps and postal history of the United States#Provisional_issue_stamps here. You (BFolkman) would then be able to expand the article as this seems of interest to you.Martin451 22:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
