Stikine River image near top

That image - I think - happens to be taken from within British Columbia, and is even above the formerly claimed boundary; is it really suitable for an Alaskan article?Skookum1 (talk) 15:44, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source location is here in BC Archives; no precise location is given, maybe someone more familiar with the lower river might know if this is right at the border; it's a BC photo so most likely it's not downstream from the border, though it might be AT it....Skookum1 (talk) 15:53, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- This appears to be the same glacier/peak, from a farther location and different angle. Titled "Bernard Glacier", that name does not appear in Basemap/BCGNIS so will take some further research to determine where this is....Skookum1 (talk) 16:10, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've never been that far north, so I don't know. If you think it is dubious, feel free to remove it. And, if you have a better photograph, please add one: I dug this one up somewhere, so it may be wrong. —hike395 (talk) 02:53, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to try and find the Bernard Glacier somewhere, maybe it is in the US and the picture is from the lowermost part of teh river, i.e. in Alaska; certainly upriver the valley is wider and the peaks a bit more typically set back frmo the river....but in the meantime please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Alaska#Stikine-LeConte_Wilderness_vs_Tongass_NF as the cite provided has gone 404 and I can't find anything else (well, I haven't googled yet, I was just cruising the National Forest Service website).Skookum1 (talk) 14:33, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I found a map on the wilderness.net page but it's unclear if that site is a wiki-clone, or your copy here is a clone of the National Forest Service webpage which has since disappeared; text is verbatim in stretches; there's no copyright mark on the wildernsss.net page though....the linked map there also raises questions about the other formal Wilderness designations within the Tongass National Forest area, i.e. indicating more articles are needed; we'll see what the Alaskan have to say about all this I guess.....Skookum1 (talk) 14:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
