Talk:Scouting memorabilia collecting

message: Chris: I don't mind you borrowing portions of my Merit badge collecting (BSA) article as yours has a broader collecting scope, more international scope, and you credited me in the history summary.  It's just Scouts helping Scouts.  You helped me at first and this is just returning the favor.  Thanks for being upfront. Yours In Scouting (YIS), Rlevse 00:34, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This link takes one to a huge list of US museums. Why not make it go directly to the US Scouts museums so people don't have to click around to find it.  I couldn't find it. Rlevse 19:10, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If I can find them.  I had trouble drilling down to find anything, it's a maze.  I thought maybe you knew wher they were.  I found the BSA Scouting Museum link using google easily, so I've put that in.  Rlevse 22:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Attention tag

message: In the article about collecting scout memorabila, a section includes links to related subjects. Law Enforcement Exploring is an existing related Wikipedia article. Kintetsubuffalo believes it is not related to the subject of collecting scout emblems, and has repeatedly removed it. Since Law Enforcement Exploring is a formal part of BSA, and hundreds of unique emblems are used by the BSA LE explorer program, I believe it to be properly related and should be included for reference. Please provide opinions so that I may be guided.Patchbook 06:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not for collecting article. The Exploring article does not directly relate to Scout memborabilia. See also section listing should directly correlate to the topic. This is why things like Scouting museum, collecting, etc articles are in there. By the the standard you're trying to adopt, every single Scouting article (there are over 1200 on wiki, from all over the globe) should be listed here, making a See also section meaningless. Yes, Exploring is part of Scouting, but the real question here is what is the scope of the memorbilia article and what is the purpose of a See also section.Rlevse 11:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The stub even doesn't mention emblems - so why should it be included in this category. Please insert content first before addin the category. --jergen 10:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good grief ... there are a kazillion different kinds of explorer posts.  Nobody would consider a police badge to be a kind of Scouting memorabilia. Categories are used for linking loosely related articles ... there is already :Category:Collecting there ... there's no reason to list every kind of collecting in the See Also. --BigDT 12:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

text: If it were written with a scope that applied to both, both categories would apply. But I don't think we have categories at that level. "LEL emblems" would fall under BSA cat and Collecting cats though. You may want to take a look at an FA I wrote, the first Scouting Project FA, 
History of merit badges (Boy Scouts of America) for ideas on how to approach such an article. Rlevse 21:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: BSA, LEL, and patches are related, but the articles thereon may or may not be. The current LEL article has nothing to do with patches and certainly not with collecting, so it does not belong in See also of the memorabilia article. Now, if you wrote an article on the history of LEL patches (akin to my History of mbs article), it would be related.Rlevse 02:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: REQUEST FOR OPINIONS - Isn't BSA Exploring part of scouting?

message: One's been tagged for 2 years, may have been me, the other one is World Scout Collectors Meeting, basically a flagbloaty orphan. They should both go here.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 08:37, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
