message: :Image:Guides Australia.svg 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 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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Guides Australia.svg

message: The image :Image:Rovers Australia.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.  In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.
The following images also have this problem:

replies: text: Scouts Australia.svg is now in the Scouts Australia article and all of the other images are used in the primary articles and the use has been updated. As such the gallery is decorative. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk -  22:44, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Rovers Australia.svg

message: After a long discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject#Scouting#Scouting and Guiding, this general article has been renamed to "Scouting and Guiding in Australia" and the category will be renamed soon. The State and Territory articles, such as Scouting in Victoria reflect all Scouting organisations, not just Scouts Australia, but not Guiding organisations. We have no articles that cover Guiding in the States and Territories. Girl Guides Australia is the only Guide article for Australia. I propose that we rename the State and Territory articles to, for example, Scouting and Guiding in Victoria and add material about Guiding in the the State. What do people think? --Bduke  (Discussion) 21:42, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree this is a way forward. Kingbird (talk) 19:08, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree— they should cover all of the Scouting and Guiding organizations. If they expand, they can be split by organization. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk -  19:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

message: As these were an independent group operating in Australia I do not understand why an editor is deleting the entry from this article.  Someone looking for information on Australian Scouting is going to look here, not in the Qld article. DiverScout (talk) 22:21, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: One it is a local group. Two, it history is still within the history section plus I just added links to its section in the Qld article. Spshu (talk) 15:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think both approaches go too far in different directions. The main detail should be in the Queensland article, but I think there should be rather more in the Australia article. I suggest that the mentions in the history sections be moved into a separate paragraph which could then be expanded a little. Are you both happy for me to have a go at that? --Bduke  (Discussion) 22:14, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That is fine with me. Spshu (talk) 13:24, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Makes sense.  All I have said is that they need to be included in the article about Australian Scouting and not hidden from readers in a regional one without links (as it was originally left).  DiverScout (talk) 14:03, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I'll have a go at sometime soon, unless one of you want to look at it. --Bduke  (Discussion) 23:33, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably makes most sense for a third-party to do this.  Cheers. DiverScout (talk) 11:24, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
