message: *What do you suggest with this bozo anon on the Gilwell article? We can just keep reverting him but there are better things to do, but we also shouldn't give in.Sumoeagle179 19:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The decimal version of Gilwell's lat/long is: Latidute 51.6503 N Longitude: 0.002296 E, see Gilwell lat long. I found a converter to put it in deg/min/sec to use the plugin that appears at the top right of the article. Rlevse 14:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I'm currently translating this great article to German (see :de:Gilwell Park soon) and I found a minor glitch: In the paragraph Wartime and later development: In the 1980s The Scout Association moved its program staff from London to Gilwell Park in April 2001, where its training staff was already located; what's the correct date here - 1980s or 2001?

thread_title:  Glitches 

message: Please, all of you stop and discuss it here. One of you wants "Scout" to point to Boy Scout. The other wants it to point to Scout which redirects to Scouting. Both are international articles. Neither of you are giving reasons. The former choice limits it to the Scout section. Cubs, Venturers, Explorers and Rovers all use Gilwell. I therefore think the anon editor is correct and that it should point to the general article Scouting. --Bduke 00:16, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bduke if check the edit summaries, the anon editor was asked to do so and refused. Anon editor is apparently new to wiki (the IP appeared only a few days ago) and is not familiar with wiki. Since said person insists on using reverts, that's about all we have. The edit summaries actally summarize things nicely. Links should go to appropriate articles, not redirects, and text should treat sides equally.Sumoeagle179 00:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I like Wim's idea. I'm in favor of it. Sumoeagle179 20:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Hmmm. We should keep the part about "school groups, and a training and conference centre" somehow. How about OPTION A) "...Scouting groups, school groups, and a training and conference centre for Scout Leaders."? OPTION B) "...Scouts, Guides, school groups, and a training and conference centre for Scout Leaders"? Rlevse 21:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

text: *The school groups are retained in my proposal: they are listed in the last sentence of the paragraph. In all documentation/books that I have on Gilwell Park (and my own recollections of my visits there) non-Scouting groups are minor, hence my relegating this topic to the afterthought sentence. And linking two words to one wikilink doesn't feel right to me. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 22:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *The School aspect features strongly on their web page, but you could be right that the response is small. It did not happen in my time but that was the 1960s. All members of Scouting are called either Scouts or Guides. What is wrong with linking two words to one wikilink? However, I think I favour Rlevse's option A. --Bduke 22:52, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I vote for option A too.Sumoeagle179 10:22, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I do not have a strong opinion between A and C. Certainly "activity centre" should be linked to the article in A as in C. Perhaps "international" should be added before training in C. However I note that ref 12 (in French) states that Gilwell after 1969 became very much less international under the new Camp Chief. I was last there on a Training Team just after he took over from John Thurman. --Bduke 23:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I really don't care what Tony would say, I care what sounds best and makes the most sense (ooh, did I just make a comma splice-;). If those happen to be the same, fine, if not, I don't care. Just for the record, I do care what SandyGeorgia says. Now off my soapbox...I now vote for C and C+. And note that it made FA with the format as it was before this edit war started.Rlevse 00:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As the consensus has led to this and there's been no discussion for about 48 hours, I made it C & C+. This should settle this issue for a long time. Rlevse 02:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Edit war

message: The fact that B-P took Gilwell as part of his title for his peerage was mentioned twice in very similar words. I have removed the second mention. I am more concerned about the use of the term "Royal title", linked to Peerage. While the title was given to him by the King, I do not think it is the correct useage. I would prefer "title of peerage". What do others think? --Bduke 02:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Brit peerage titling is so complicated, I stay out of this one.Rlevse 02:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I have it. The article on peerage talks of "territorial designation" so I have changed the article to read "as the territorial designation in his peerage title of 1st Baron Baden-Powell of Gilwell". Let's see how that goes. --Bduke 03:28, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

text: "Often, a territorial designation is added to the main peerage title, especially in the case of barons and viscounts: for instance, Baroness Thatcher, of Kesteven, County Lincoln or Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, of Hindhead, County Surrey. In such cases, any designation following the first comma generally does not form a part of the main title and is dropped, leaving, in the aforementioned cases, Baroness Thatcher and Viscount Montgomery of Alamein." 
So the ",of the County of Essex" is not normally used. --Bduke 23:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I live very close to Gilwell and have been there once or twice but have never contributed to this article.  It's absolutely great to see this article achieve featured status so well done to all those who've contributed to it. Regards. Escaper2007 10:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: "The Gilwell Fellows, named for Scouting's famous camp and international training center in England, was established by The Scout Association of the United Kingdom to recognize those men and women who have exhibited a commitment to Gilwell's role in the history of Scouting and its place in the future of the Scout Movement."   --Gadget850 ( Ed) 14:13, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
