Talk:Crossing guard

message: I removed the following because they are not sources:
:* Fairfax County Public Schools (Manual regarding employment of Crossing Guards)
:* Florissant Police Department (City ordinance regarding school crossings and school bus safety)
The first "source" is just a link to a description of FCPS. Please provide a link directly to this purported manual. Otherwise, this is not a source. Same for the city ordinance. Please provide a link directly to the ordinance, not to a description of the town (which is misnamed as a description of a police department).

thread_title:  These aren't "sources" 

message: I offer this in support of one of my earlier edits in which I removed incorrect information stating that only adults can be crossing guards:  School Crossing Guards (Brampton, Ontario).  In a nutshell, this municpality allows anyone aged 16 or older to be a crossing guard, not just legal adults. --BRossow 04:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who can be a crossing guard? 

message: I am wondering why this article was moved from "Crossing Guard" to the new name of "school crossing patroller".  When searching the internet, "school crossing patroller" gives about 1620 hits, most of them associated with the United Kingdom.  "Crossing Guard" gives 4,270,000 with world wide usage.  Clearly, crossing guard is what this article should be called.  I will change it back shortly pendng no further comments from anyone else. -Husnock 17:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Name change

message: Tonight on ITV's North East News they used the gender-neutral term "Lollipop Official", has anyone heard this before? Or is it something ITV have made up instead of simply using the official UK term (School crossing patrol officer)? I did add this to the article but I changed my mind as this only time I've ever heard it so I doubt it's a common term. If anyone wants to add it in here is the citation I was going to use (the title is a bit odd but I didn't know what else to put:
 
Personally I think the term is a little odd. Why not just Lollipop person? --GracieLizzie 23:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The paragraph about the 'Lollipop scandal' has zero sources, and a quick Google does not yield anything usable. Is this real, or just some strange joke? SeverityOne (talk) 22:39, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I came across this article when adding a disambiguation link to this page at Lollipop (disambiguation)
I think the following signs are actually identical.
Most road signs in the UK (and all new ones) are now required to be reflective. Although for both signs as an .svg file have different backgrounds (one yellow, one slightly green). In reality there aren't different background colours. However the reflective pattern on the sign mean that the yellow background can appear slightly green when viewed from a certain angle. The Department for Transport only list one background colour in this document  (page 19).

and

I'm suggesting removing the second image in both cases.
