Add photo[edit]

Could somebody add a photo or photos to the Infobox and/or the article? I'm not good at adding photos in Wikipedia; I keep getting tripped up when I try. The photo that I currently have linked as an External image is:

I added the photo. Doing so was not easy, because I couldn't figure out which license option to choose. I selected "I don't know", which puts the image addition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2017_Total_Eclipse_of_the_Sun_stamp.png) in a probationary status. It's waiting for a more experienced Wikipedia editor to review it and decide whether or not to approve it. Mksword (talk) 21:49, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mksword, I re-uploaded the images noting they are works of the U.S. government and therefore in the public domain. Thanks for your help with the article.—OhioOakTree (talk) 15:33, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@OhioOakTree:, unfortunately you are ill-informed but, since 1978 US stamps are copyright to USPS and NOT the US government. You should probably familiarise yourself with Copyright status of work by the U.S. government#Exemptions, the USPS details in {{PD-USGov}} and c:Commons:Stamps/Public domain#United States. ww2censor (talk) 20:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ww2censor. Thanks for the info. I updated the fair-use rationale.OhioOakTree (talk) 03:03, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
