Below are some details wanted for this article. Please supply them if you can (and please include sources). - Una Smith ( talk) 06:42, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Major rewrite, which accidently covers some of the above. Note that I have changed 'punch' from its physical form to its 'functional' form. Twiceuponatime ( talk) 12:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Can I quibble with the change to 'Control card received at the start'. Cards are issued at registration, or you bring your own ecard. Easier to leave it out. Twiceuponatime ( talk) 08:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
holing pincers. Useful addition but we (UK) call them ticket punches. Leave as it is? Twiceuponatime ( talk) 09:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Passports. I have deleted this new paragraph - it has nothing to do with Orienteering. And removed the reference to Safety Log - this should be about concepts not about variable details. Twiceuponatime ( talk) 08:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
This is an important point, because it affects the scope of many articles related to orienteering. Does anyone else have an opinion? -- Una Smith ( talk) 05:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
The first O course, in Norway, involved farms (farmhouses?). Are their locations known? Are they still extant (probably)? A map might make a nice addition to the History section. -- Una Smith ( talk) 20:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
In an inline comment ( diff), Twiceuponatime wrote the route to the control has nothing to do with the control. That is an interesting comment, because instructions for course setters stress the importance of considering route choice when placing control points. -- Una Smith ( talk) 14:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
The "similar principle" of operation I had in mind was the marking of a card carried by the orienteer. I had in mind electronic and paper are similar, not SPORTIdent and EMIT are similar. -- Una Smith ( talk) 02:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
