Fair use rationale for Image:Seal-of-Michigan.png[edit]

Image:Seal-of-Michigan.png 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.

Michigan Territory and the War of 1812[edit]

In reference to the British and the Native American tribes in the area of Michigan, Hull makes it clear that the British used them as part of their defence of Canada, and began arming them for that defence when the US starting making open preparations for an invasion of Canada. Why change this? Some have argued that the Native tribes were attacking the people on the fronteir without provocation; Hull's writing disputes it, and it this article was adjusted for that reason. The source is below.

I've cited Hull's own writing for this. I'm not sure about the code, if someone can adjust it so that it shows a hyperlink instead of the google books address, that would be good.^[1] Ebanony (talk) 00:11, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
