License tagging for Image:Spiritbear.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Spiritbear.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Regarding your recent edits, whilst it is accepted that 'North' might be added to 'America' to clarify the position for the lay reader, the article was not meant to mislead readers into assuming the coastline referred to was only that of the United States. Please note that, regardless of popular usage, the adjectival term 'American' more correctly refers to the Americas as a collective landmass (as discussed in detail at Americas (terminology) and American (word)). Usage of the unqualified term 'American' should not be regarded as omitting other nations intentionally and should be read in its appropriate context - indeed in the Cook article we are referring to a time prior to those coastlines' discovery and annexure by the nations of Canada and the United States and thus, contextually, 'America' must refer to the landmass rather than the nation. I trust that alays your concerns. Dick G 04:34, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
