Scout Association of Japan

What do you think now? Wim van Dorst (Talk) 20:02, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

It looks great, thank you, brother! Chris 20:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Question

Have you ever heard the ZHP threw acid at Nazi's in WWII? grazon 02:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Piet J. Kroonenberg

Hi Chris, I say, that picture you 'created' and gave to the public domain? You can't do it like that, man! Wim van Dorst (Talk) 20:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC).

I kind of figured I shouldn't, though I trimmed off the edges for the 'pedia. What should I do? Thanks, and I meant no ill intent. Chris 20:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Interesting changes, Chris. VERY recognizable text, but nearly all correct. I wondered about the copyright attribution: isn't the picture made by/for the Russian Union of Scouts organization, on the celebration of the beaver award for Kroonenberg? I'd suggest a small update there. And the rationale reference in the article itself is still to be done. BTW, did you really contact the WOSM? Would be a good idea. Send an email to Victor Ortega (vortega@world.scout.org (the PR guy) and ask him! Wim van Dorst (Talk) 22:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC).

If you think you are being harrassed for your dodgy copyright attributions (beyond what is legitimate) just drop a line at one of the admins. There's one on the WP:Scout participants list (Randy pointed it out recently on some talk page). Wim van Dorst (Talk) 23:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC).

Image Commies?

You'll have to explain "Image Commies". My thoughts are that the Hepburn image is not only referenced in the article, but is the foremost image brought to mind when the old formal style of smoking is mentioned.

thanks for the comment! Angelofdeath275 21:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Ditavonteeseul.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ditavonteeseul.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Misplaced Pages's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Image:Elkhorn.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Elkhorn.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. – Quadell 17:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Important P.S. If the photographer is willing to license the image under the GFDL, then we can keep the image. Please let me know if this is the case.

• I have re-tagged the image to Copyrighted/NoRightsReserved, as verbally indicated by the uploader, and as indicated by the quoted text of the author. Issue resolved. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 12:40, 22 October 2006 (UTC).

No Problem!

I appreciate it Chris. This is actually the first thanks I recieve. I am going through the whole category of articles needing Arabic script. This is my status. Thanks again my friend. --Anas Salloum 16:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't mention it Chris. And by the way, I have even added the Arabic script to the Palestinian Scout Association and Iraq Boy Scouts and Girl Guides Council articles way before this one. ;) Drop a message whenever you need anything. --Anas Salloum 18:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:PietKroonenberg.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:PietKroonenberg.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you.

Brendon Small image is being nominated for deletion

Image:Brendansmall.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Brendansmall.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}

The nomination was done by A Man In Black, who neglected to put this template on your talk page. Just thought I'd let you know. -- Y|yukichigai 01:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Scott Market

Thanks for your reply. I thought I had been told it was not named after James George Scott but some other Scott; and J. G. Scott was never an administrator in Rangoon or Lower Burma, so I can't see why it should have been named after him (though indeed he was a schoolmaster there in his youth, and it is true that he introduced football there!) However, if I was told this about the market, it was a long time ago, and I now need to check it. Wish me luck ... Andrew Dalby 22:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Arab Region

Is there some reason someone renamed this from WOSM-Arab Region? Rlevse 12:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Jergen moved it back. Apparently the someone moved it without any discussion, etc. Rlevse 19:08, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Franceneuterao.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Franceneuterao.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Misplaced Pages and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 21:52, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

WP:FAC for lead(II) nitrate

Yoh, Chris, I just put the lead(II) nitrate article up for FA-class. Feel free to contribute your support, even if you don't know anything about chemicals ;-). Wim van Dorst (Talk) 21:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC).

Hi, Chris. Very kind of you and thanks for the invite, but afraid I'm not disciplined enough for joining. Thanks all the same. Wagaung 09:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Scouting in Vermont info to be folded in

Hi Kintetsubuffalo, I noticed info you had parked on the Scouting in Vermont discussion page amrked to "fold in." the info on the Scouting in Vermont page presently is pulled from one of several websites where it appers verbatim. And, the subject is not at all specific to Vermont. I wonder if you have interest in expanding that article. thanks. 146.115.47.12 21:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:UtahHP.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:UtahHP.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Misplaced Pages and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Template:IntlScoutsGuides

Re edit summary: :) I regularly leave things in a visually questionable state when removing fair use image violations. Trying to find visually acceptable replacements or creating visually acceptable variations on templates is generally time consuming and I am a poor substitute for someone who has an interest in the particular template in question, such as you in this case. Perhaps you could have found acceptable free-license substitutes...I don't know. For me to make that decision, a person who has little or no knowledge of the subject of the template, is not the best of ideas. Related, you might want to see User:Durin/Removal_of_fair_use_images#Why_didn.27t_you_replace_the_image_with_something_usable.3F. All the best, --Durin 22:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Scouting in Burma

I've added the name in Burmese. --Hintha 08:37, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

The letters under the emblem in Image:Burmanewer.jpg state "Scouts" (kin-htauk) in Burmese. --Hintha 03:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

The words under Image:Burmaolder.jpg say the same thing. --Hintha 06:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Laszlonagycarlgusta.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Laszlonagycarlgusta.jpg. 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 Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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. Oden 05:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

two suggestions

See the two suggestions I made on the rename. Loved your input. Rlevse 10:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Apology for your treatment at the Girl Scout Office

I'm sorry on behalf of my sister Girl Scouts and Girl Guides for your reception at your local Girl Scout Office when you enquired about materials about Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting around the world. I don't want to make assumptions about what country you were in at the time, so I can't tell you exactly what they should have said. The most well-known publication on this subject is Trefoil Around the World. It's in English and is published by WAGGGS both as a book and a CD-ROM. I know it is available in several countries, if not all where English spoken. Some of this information is reproduced on the web, when you know where to look, for example at the GSUSA website. A lot of handbooks and leader's resources have information on international matters too, although these are inevitably not comprehensive. I'm sad that you weren't helped more effectively. Kingbird 17:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Chris, for your information: "Trefoil Around the World" is on my table - but I need some more time to work its informations in our articles. --jergen 14:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for taking care of my talk page. Hopefully Nathan will find a better use for his time. Tocharianne 15:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

You are most welcome! Chris 22:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

New articles and hangon

Hi, I've noticed your new articles have {{hangon}} on the start of them. Please only use hangon when the article is up for speedy deletion and you wish to contest this. --Wooty Woot? contribs 09:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

thanks for your invitiation , i would like to join your burmese project—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aung win (talk • contribs) 15:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC).

Mittons

Very interesting. A curious coincidence of name, at the very least. I never learned what became of Mitton after Scott's death.

I'm quite glad that I write about pre-20th century history. Not that you can always trust early writers any more than modern ones, but at least you can stand back and get a whole view of them. And you don't have to shake hands with them.

I haven't contributed much on Burma yet, incidentally, but I do intend to ... Best wishes Andrew Dalby 21:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Did you know?

On 13 December, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Oleg Pantyukhov, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Image upload

Hi Chris, did you read my comment on Talk:List of highest awards in Scouting#Images?

I know that these badges are part of your collection. Perhaps my question was badly formulated: The images need a good description mentioning at least the title of the rank and the association to make the use of the images easier. I'm sure you have these data. Could you please insert it on the images' pages? WP:UPIMAGE#Mini HowTo proposes Template:Information for this purpose. --jergen 08:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

And some time ago, I wrote something on captions...

Please include at least the association and the rank's name on the image description. If you don't I'll remove these images from the articles because they are not of use for understanding the article. Two examples of misplaced or badly used images , . --jergen 08:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Myanma diplomatic missions

G'day Chris:

Glad you are an Australophile. It will make my job easier, coz I hate reprobating people during the Chrissie period.

You recently proposed merging the Myanma diplomatic missions article into Foreign relations of Myanmar. Nothing wrong with proposing that idea, except you just went ahead and did it before getting your mandate, or even understanding the nature of these articles.

Please be advised there are two kinds of foreign policy by country articles. We have for almost every country a Foreign Relations of X article (eg Foreign relations of Uganda), which describes that country's foreign policies and issues. And we have a less prose-y X Diplomatic Missions (eg Ugandan diplomatic missions) which just lists where a country's embassies and consulates are located.

If you think merging them together is a good idea, please get a consensus first, although I don't think people will want to reformat over 250 articles to make it consistent with your suggestion.

In the meantime kindly revert back the former Myanma diplomatic missions article.

Thank you,

Kransky 05:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Chris:

I removed the redirect from Myanma diplomatic missions and cut-'n'-pasted the contents from I wrote that you copied into Foreign relations of Myanmar back into ::Myanma diplomatic missions. So Foreign relations of Myanmar remains unchanged, except that I added a link to Myanma diplomatic missions in the "See also" section. Vegemite? I hate the stuff. I heard that it was being banned in the United states over some FDA issue. Have a great new year. Kransky 04:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Chris:

The adjectival word for Myanmar is Myanma. See Explanation of the names of Burma/Myanmar#Adjective_Oddities Kransky 04:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Chris:

Misplaced Pages style dictates that places are named according to how those who govern the place call it. For example we have the article Republic of Macedonia because the Macedonians identify themselves with this nationality, even though the international community calls it the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to comply with Greek sensitivities (the Misplaced Pages article for Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and FYROM send you to Republic of Macedonia). This is no reflection on the moral authority of the junta; it is only done to establish consistency. If the Myanma leaders want to rename their country Buttercupland so be it. Can we leave it as Myanma diplomatic missions please, like Myanma kyat (See Misplaced Pages:Naming_conflict)

Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Astana1.jpg, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. -- 09:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for your kind comments on my user page back in October and also why someone had deleted an article I created. I have only just got round to understanding how this place works, including leaving comments on your page, which I found unusual as you would normally send a message to them on a website! --PrincessBrat 14:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Police patch collecting

Sounds like a good move, so we can expand the article to include all sorts of things, do you want me to move it for you or are you okay to do it? SGGH 11:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I am the original poster of the article. I am new to this forum and admit my first attempt at posting here may have needed some advise or correction. I am NOT a professional wiki.

The above being said, I would rather the whole article be removed than have it altered and vandalized to the extent you folks have done which gives it significantly different meaning. You could have added your information as new information without ruining.

From my perspective as a retired California police officer, four decade patch collector, and non-profit publisher of the most comprehensive database on California law enforcement emblems in the world...you folks have butchered the facts and the thrust of the article.

The focus of police patch collecting posting was to accurately inform about preserving law enforcement emblem history in the US from coast to coast. It no longer does that.

RE: patchbook?

Did you really think I handled it tactfully? Wow :D I'm glad you thought that cause its the first time I've had to deal with a conflict on wikipedia. Hopefully they will be few and far between *touch wood*. I liked your reply on the article too, direct to the point. Regards, SGGH 19:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

re: patchbook + ip strange coincedence

I see what you mean. Having left a warning on Patchbooks talk page about removing the tags, i suspect (or at least hope) that he will stop without further action being taken. Good catch, though I hope you don't mind me saying that perhaps voicing what you've noticed on the article talk page may have provoked Patchbook into unnecessary anger, might have been better on my talk page or the wikiproject talk page? Nevertheless your suspicions might well be correct, as I have said hopefully the issue will die down now.

It's the only conflict that iv come accross so far in the project, which is a good sign! Hopefully this minor one will dissipate :)

Regards, SGGH 23:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

No worries, its turned out fine as far as I know (he says, having not checked the article yet) lets just try not to atagonise him further and just get on with the article, hopefully he can be included in editing it if he learns how to do so properly. If not, there are warnings and 3RR and such. SGGH 10:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

When I was a policeman I had an assignment dealing with some child molesters. I got disciplined because in the course of my official duties I made a verbal commentary that it was "Nothing that a thirty cent bullet wouldn't cure".

Now decades later I am retired, and that same commentary comes to mind.

Have fun with your boy scout patches. User:Patchbook 5 January 2007

Image:AlbaniaScouts.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AlbaniaScouts.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. MECU≈talk 01:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

3RR

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Metros232 23:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I see that you reported Okkar for 3RR violations. You need to clean up your report to get it considered. In the diffs, you have to actually put a link for the diff, not just like the times in which they occurred. You have to show the link for that revert at that time. Metros232 23:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I have reported you for 3RR violations WP:AN/3RR and also requested mediation. Okkar 03:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
