Talk:Scouting on the Isle of Man

message: Shouldn't "Scout Groups" be deleted in favor of the "Island Contact Directory", as the information is tabled rather than just a straight list, which Wikipedia disdains? Chris 19:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Groups

message: This article really does need a cleanup. It needs some real content, not just lists. What about history, the relationship to UK Scouting, leader training, camp sites and so on? There are clearly people editing the lists. Please add more material other than the lists. --Bduke 20:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: Why? I do not consider this acceptable. If the Scouting authorities object to some detail, then that point should be addressed. It should not be deleted. They do not dictate what goes on to Wikipedia. Note that we are slowly developing articles on "Scouting in X" where "X" is a Scout County or Area in the UK. It should be restored but perhaps made much smaller and just summarise things in a NPOV way, if that is their issue. Please explain what their problem is. --Bduke 23:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Why do the scouting authorities want this page deleted?

message: Most of the content on this article was taken from other copyrighted sources, this alone contravenes Wikipedia rules. They also listed the Full names of people who did not wish to have such information made publically available.

message: I've added lots of new material, hope it's okay by people. Let me know on my talk page of any objections... Stevecull 13:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New info 

message: I have added merge tags suggesting that the article on this Group be moved here. It does assert some kind of notability as the oldest Scout Group on the I of M but that needs a citation. It is only a stub. Unless it can be expanded I propose we just add information about it being the oldest on the main Scouting in the I of M article and redirect here. If it is to stay, it needs renaming to 1st Malew Scout Group as the current title is unclear. Note that it is the general consensus on WP, with support from the Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting that individual Scout Troops/Groups are not notable in almost all cases and should be merged into a broader article. Oldest in the UK might cut it, but I doubt that oldest in the I of Man does. Please discuss the merge here.
*Support merge as above. --Bduke 22:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Manxscouts.gif

message: I have made a couple of relatively small, but significant changes. First, I have altered the lead to say that this article is about all forms of Scouting, even though perhaps the Scout Association is the only example now. If alternatives, such as the Baden-Powell Scout Association starts in the Isle of Man, it can be mentioned. Second, I have removed the list of Groups. These are unmaintainable. Both of these are in line with changes that are being made on articles about Scouting in the UK. The areas in Wales have been merged into a single article. The Counties of the Scout Association in England are being merged in articles on all forms of Scouting in the official government regions. These changes are under way, as they take a lot of effort. The changes here reflect those chnages. Please look at the discussion at Talk:Scouting in England and the links there to at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting#Structural changes UK. --Bduke (talk) 10:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
