Talk:Letter sheet

Fair use rationale for Image:GB Christmas Aerogram.jpg

Image:GB Christmas Aerogram.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Terminology for letter sheets in folded/sealed condition

This is to bring up the topic of accepting the term “letterpacket” to describe a letter sheet which has been letterfolded and/or sealed with letterlocking and is generally still in folded/sealed condition. Prior to the mass production of envelops in the mid-19th century, my reading of the history is that the vast majority of simple personal correspondence, including multi-sheet letters, were tightly folded/tucked using techniques which kept the letter closed and sometimes sealed with wax, string, or other means. Yet the letter in the folded/sealed state doesn’t seem to have widely established name. In the Netherlands, there is a collection of unopened letters that are being analyzed using X-ray microtomography and computational unfolding--that academic research in the field of letterlocking uses the term “letterpacket”. However, it’s a new field of research and the letterpacket term is not readily found elsewhere on the web or in OED, etc. Having a term would make it easier to, for example, to document conservation of letterpackets.
