[edit] Otto Sverdrup's map missing?
Some days ago there was an article in the Canadian newspaper National Post ([1]) that said that the map the Parliament of Canada bought from Otto Sverdrup to prove their claim on the Sverdrup Islands couldn't be found, and further it contained some rather wild speculation about the consequences of this. Perhaps this could be added to the article as a fun piece of trivia? -- Nidator 18:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FramExploration-CanadianFirstDay.jpg
Image:FramExploration-CanadianFirstDay.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] deleted copy and paste from Nunatsiaq News
I deleted a large section, unfortunately most of the article. It was a copy and paste, with only a few different sentences here and there, from the link provided to Nunatsiaq News, which is copyrighted. The contents were interesting, but copyright is copyright. --Barend (talk) 11:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
