Talk:Scouting and Guiding in Poland

message: *Not merge while both articles need work, especially the history one, I think it is big enough to stand on its own. I propose a summary of it here, with a main link to the primary history article.Rlevse 15:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: comment-the reason I suggested the merge is, like Scouting in Russia, the early histories all start from a common root-unlike, say, Ukraine, where each developed very independently. Wasn't suggesting to merge because either is a stub, yet it's not pages and pages like History of the BSA. Chris 15:54, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe a "History of Scouting in Eastern Europe" page if they have a common root.Rlevse 16:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

text: That it is difficult to find is another reason I suggest the merge. Chris 21:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I've cleaned up the article (most of the information was on an uprising and a paramilitary type group and not actually about scouting.  This has been rectified and the article is much much much shorter and a lot more managable.  I think now that it's been reduced in size and had it's scope "fixed" to actually cover what it should be, I think it should be merged into this article as a sub section.

message: :Image:LilijkaZHP.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 00:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:UIGSE.svg

message: I do not know anything about Scouting and Guiding in Poland, but I do coordinate mediation for the Scouting WikiProject and try to help resolving problems like this. So, let us leave the article as it is at present and would both of you please outline your reasons, User:Kubanczyk for the change, and User:Kintetsubuffalo for opposing the change. I feel sure we can resolve this. --Bduke  (Discussion) 22:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've updated the section "Confusion" (on this talk page, few sections up) as you were adding your note. My reasons are there. --Kubanczyk (talk) 22:42, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, but you seemed to be making other changes. Why did you make those? Let us wait until User:Kintetsubuffalo responds. --Bduke  (Discussion) 22:52, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

text: My reasons for reverting these changes are that Kubanczyk was undoing proper capitalization in English (which I now understand he did not know the convention-good faith) and removing text (this one is usually a violation of WP:IDONTLIKEIT-again I can assume good faith, but it guts the article by half) and changing of order of the organizations from alphabetical to put ZHP at the top, which smacks of POV. I do not accuse Kubanczyk of vandalism, I reverted because the numerous problems with the edits were so great that it was impossible to pick out anything of value from the problematic edits. When an editor who has no previous history with an article removes half the article, that is a red flag generally. The history section is strange and focused, but it is encyclopedic and was merged here for lack of a better place to put it. I agree the thing needs a rewrite, which is why it was tagged at the top, but gutting it is not the way to go about it. The solution is to expand the history to be general and to include the other organizations. Note that ZHP, ZHR and a few others have their own articles. About 5 years ago, before the Scouting project started, there was an energetic Polish Scouting editor who filled the English Wikipedia with some good articles. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 08:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Per Kubanczyk's suggestion above, I support the merge of the Sniegocki info to his bio, it really makes more sense there and it is a good solution, thanks! --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 08:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I'll proceed with my edits one by one, with detailed explaining. --Kubanczyk (talk) 08:15, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dispute between [[User:Kubanczyk]] and [[User:Kintetsubuffalo]] 

message: The article says in the introduction that there are 190,000 members overall, 170,000 of them in ZHP.  Where do these numbers come from?  Our article  Polish Scouting and Guiding Association, says there are 110,000 members in ZHP. Also the Polish wikipedia article gives 110,729 as of 2008. --195.150.224.247 (talk) 12:46, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
