 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new and long enough, and well referenced. Hook has inline citation, which is verified in online reference. The article is neutral and within policy. QPQ done. Oceanh (talk) 11:18, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * A bit unsure about the picture. It is different from those currently in the article, although similar. Also, Commons-licence is {PD-China}; is this sufficient? Oceanh (talk) 11:39, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The image (published in 1897) is certainly PD in the US. I've added {PD-1923} to the commons file. Also, the image is for a single stamp, whereas the article includes a block-of-four of the same stamp. This has the same effect as cropping, which is commonly done for images on the main page where space is at a premium. I could add this image to the article, but that would be repetitive. -Zanhe (talk) 23:28, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg for the picture. Thank you for adding the {PD-1923} license. I also accept your arguments about this single stamp versus the 4-block in the article. Oceanh (talk) 19:48, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
