Talk:Scouting for Boys

message: This article would benefit from a section on the status of copyright in this book. As this book was first published in 1908, prior to the Berne Convention, it would at first sight seem to be in the Public domain. However, Project Gutenberg does not list this book, and I suspect that another part of copyright law is preventing it from entering the public domain (recency of death of the author? Perpetual copyright of the scouting movement?). Please can someone add a brief note to the article, clarifying the copyright status of "Scouting for Boys"? Andrew Oakley 10:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the above link from the article, as this is a blatant copyright infringement, which IMHO should not be part of the Wikipedia article. How do other editors see this? Wim van Dorst (talk) 21:03, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Addition of ISBN from Wikidata 

message: Should this article be limited to the 1908 book, editions by Baden-Powell or all books under the title including later "editions" (really different books by different authors merely incorporating some of the earlier book contents). Many "editions" were put out under different subtitles. Even the original serialized fortnightly parts varied in title from the later 1908 book. Given the huge variety of content and authors, should it be viewed as a series rather than a book? The article does not even acknowledge these differences let alone deal with the implications.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.129.96.162 (talk) 11:07, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is Scouting for boys one book or many different books? 

message: This BBC TV documentary was broadcast in 2007, presented by Ian Hislop and features David Lammy,  Robert Crause Baden-Powell and others. Note: there's also the 2009 British drana-thriller "The Scouting Book for Boys. Not sure if it needs to be disambiguated at the top. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:37, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
