Please change the name of this article to The Guides and Scouts Movement of Belgium instead of giving it the French name. The national Movement in Belgium officially has 3!!! names and not just the French one. Maybe we should use the English name (since this is the English wikipedia) or rename it Scouting in Belgium. Jorgenpfhartogs 06:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I still very, very strongly disagree. First of all, you looked on the German google. The Belgian google gives a different picture.
Other facts:
The Germanic scouts are normally seen as a part of the Walloon organisations (the Oostkantons are their own Gewest, but, with a huge influx of Walloons, is normally seen as part of the Francophone Gewest. The normally call themselves Pfadfinder Belgien. There are only a few groups in Belgium that are fully German. A few of them are part of the Flemish movement, a few of them are part of the Francophone movement and a few of them are even part of the German movement.
A lot of ignorant people that don't know Belgium think it is a French-speaking country since most Flemish speak French and most Walloons DON't speak Flemish. Brussel is supposedly a bilingual city (in Flemish territory!), but has a huge influx of Walloons. The fact is that Dutch is spoken by the 6 million people in Flanders to the north, French by the 3.5 million Walloons in the south!!!
More so: most English speakers will look for Scouting in Belgium rather than Guidisme et Scoutisme en Belgique. You have to be able to speak French to come up with this name and since the majority of people on wikipedia search in English I really, really strongly think we should DEMAND an English name for the article!!!!

Hi Jergen, while your reason given for the move at Magyar Cserkészszövetség is arguably a good one – though the applicable policy says "with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity" –, I see no reason why Association of Hungarian Girl Guides should be at the Hungarian name. (The fact that web references use the Hungarian name is no argument: every organization's native name will be used more often than a translation.) Please set up a requested move if you think I'm wrong, but don't revert the move against the established convention. Thanks & happy editing, K issL 09:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Some anon added him to List of notable Scouts. How can this be when he'd have been of Scout age during the Nazi/Communist era? Or did the Czechs have something we consider Scouting during that time? Rlevse 17:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm that anonymous. WW2 was until 1945, after WW2 was scouting legal. Communist era started in 1948. After 1948 cummunists started to destroy scouting and replace it by Pionyr and SSM. So as a kid Vaclav Havel could be (and he was) in boy scout troop. He was in a part of boy scouts called "water scouts". I remember I saw it in some boyscout magazine after 1989 (it must be Junak because there weren't any other boyscout magazines) but you could find it in google. I also remember that when he was a presidnet he was some sort of "bodyguard" of czech scouts and I was on some "parade" in Prague where many scouts walked to Prague castle to see him.

Again me, the best is to search for václav havel chrobák, because chrobak was his nickname. Half of the links on the first page of google seems relevant.
Please see: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting/Translations#Algeria. Evrik is moving articles regardless of our discussions. -- Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 09:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Bduke has offered to be the Scouting WikiProject mediator and accept this as his first case on these conditions: 1. All parties must agree to his mediating. 2. All parties must not move any articles until the mediation is completed. 3. If consensus is not reached they must let User:Rlevse as the project coordinator decide whether to implement my final conclusions.
(3) means that Bduke will make a final recommendation if there is no consensus and User:Rlevse can accept it or reject it. Either way, the decision is final and all parties are bound by Scout's honor to follow it.
I am posting this on everyone's ( Evrik, Jergen, Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr)) talk page so they will not miss the offer. Failure to respond with a 'accept' or 'not accept' on the Translations talk page will be taken as an 'accept'. This offer will last until 2400 UTC Dec 2, 2006. Keep in mind that we live all over the world and users need time to respond---specifically, Bduke lives in Australia. DO NOT make any moves until at least 24 hours have passed since his last posting on an issue. Rlevse 01:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Take all the time you need, brother, and thank you for the headsup. I have put info I can find into talk pages to be folded into articles. Chris 20:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I replied to your comment on my talk page before I looked at my watchlist and saw you had removed the Guiding cat from a lot of articles as a parent. Maybe you are right. I prefer to see what others think. So for now WAGGGS members go in that category which has the Guiding cat as a parent and everything else Guiding go in the Guiding cat. Is that your thinking? -- Bduke 02:05, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I've looked at this to see what your guys are talking about. What's odd is that WAGGGS is both on the same level as Guiding (both as a sub of Scouting, as is WOSM) and also a sub of Guiding. If we make WAGGGS only a sub of Guiding, some GG/GS may say why isn't WAGGGS at the same level as WOSM? I have a suggestion that I think will meet both your concerns and also follow wiki policy on categories: Put WAGGGS, WOSM, and the non-aligned cat all under "Scouting related associations" and put WAGGGS under Guiding also. Thoughts? I've put this on both your talk pages. Rlevse 12:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, your idea is even better. I'll do this right away or do you think we should put it on that project talk page first? Rlevse 13:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
If you won't agree to Bduke, there's a wiki mediator who's an occassional project participant, User:Markovich292. I also know a wiki admin in the MILHIST project who I think would also do a good job- User:ERcheck. Let me know who you'd agree to that the others may agree too. Rlevse 19:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm asking you this because I think you wrote these parts. See the FAC for Scouting. There's a question about what are now footnotes 51-54 (Includes ####...) and that the ref'd articles don't have valid refs for the numbers. Can you add footnotes to both Scouting and the country articles or tell me what the refs are and I'll add them? Thanks. Rlevse 16:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I've created Category:Scouting in Russia and put some articles in it, but I've sure there are others I haven't found yet. Rlevse 15:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Brother Jergen, At the link you sent me to, it says "Photos and other graphics should have captions unless they are “self-captioning”, ... when the graphic is an unambiguous depiction of the subject of the article. I've taken off the caption boxes for several reasons-
1) Many of the articles are beginning to standardize to the WorldScout template, which does not use the caption box.
2) The images _are_ selfexplanatory, except in cases like Burma or Georgia or Laos or Mali, where there is some text or some part of the emblem which bears explanation.
3) Other articles on the Wikipedia, like articles on corporations or police departments or army units, do not use the caption box, it is understood that the image used is their logo.
4) Removing the caption boxes makes the articles look cleaner, especially since many of the fleur-de-lises you got at that German site have too much white space around them. Removing the caption boxes deemphasizes that.
5) Several of the removed caption boxes were poorly titled or misspelled. Nobody is going to look at the image and think it is something unrelated.
Those are my reasons, I hope you understand. Now, if there is consensus from project members to put them back, I will stop removing them, but I hope you will understand my logic and let me continue. Thanks, brother. Chris 15:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't mind putting in your project tags, but could you please put in redirects on your non-English articles? Virtually no one is going to come to the English wiki and type in Association des Guides du Burkina Faso, for example, especially not if its a non-Latin script. The odds of these being found on a search are virtually nil. Rlevse 22:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, Jergen, I thought that looked very much like a sockpuppet-most of the names they want in English don't translate exactly. I have an idea, they do this in the Central Asia project. What would you think of taking each of the proposed redlinked name sequences, and making them all redirects, so they all pipe back to the proper article with the proper name in the local language? I mean, I find most articles just by typing "_x country_" and "Scout", but there are some it doesn't work for. (I see Randy's proposal above, that's kind of what they do, like with the interim Turkmen president.) Chris 06:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'm trying to find the Russian equivlant of the Eagle Scout (US). I asked Rlevse for help, and told me to try asking you. I believe it's the Order of the Bronze Beaver, but googling, the Russian Association of Scouts/Navigators article, or the List of highest awards in Scouting could acertain the answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Zidel333 18:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jergen, thank you for the information. That doesn't surprise me-when I lived there, it was very difficult to contact actual Scout officials, almost as though they were too careful to talk to outsiders, but the moment they wanted something from _you_, they could find you. Now, on the RASN site, there is a picture of a fellow with a great big green fleur-de-lis over his right pocket, he may just be support personnel. As far as I know, there really are no functioning, healthy in the accepted sense, accessible organizations among those WOSM has accepted, except Georgia and Armenia-and that's WOSM's fault. The Region really needs to be split up between the European and A-P Regions, if for nothing else than to get it out of the hands of the KGB showboat at the top. Chris 18:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jergen, have you had time to look at the long discussion in "Discussion 4" of the mediation? Evrik should be back now and I'll ask him to comment too. I have been searching for a compromise that was between your position and that of Evrik and one that might be more convincing to people outside the Scouting Project who might want to change titles without knowing what we have done. In this regard, the Honduras article is a good case and you might also give your thoughts on what should be done with the title of that article. I look forward to reading your views. -- Bduke 23:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the

What's up with reverting my bot's edits to pages linking to the disambiguation page Girl Guides? I will suspend working on this page until I hear from you. However, I hope you are aware that links to disambiguation pages are disfavored and should be addressed in some manner. -- Russ (talk) 10:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
The distinction you suggest is not stated at all on the disambiguation page, and is not stated very clearly (at least, it wasn't clear to me) on the Girl Guide and Girl Scout page. And, as far as I can tell from reading the Scouting article, there isn't any separate Guiding movement; rather, it is simply the female component of the overall Scouting movement. Maybe that is not the reality, but that is the impression given by the articles that now exist. Hope you folks can figure out how to fix this mess; I myself have no interest in wasting my time doing work that is going to be undone, so I'm moving on to other topics. -- Russ (talk) 12:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I've reverted your last change because I don't understand what point you are trying to make. The article clearly requires a section of text which explains what happened in the period between 1895/6 - as mentioned in the introduction to the article - and the period after WW1 where the substantive text starts. I have edited info from the cited article which seems to me to provide an NPOV overview of that period, from the movement's foundation up to WW1, and also provides a bit of context re 19th century social movements in Germany generally. You claim it is POV - why ? If you can provide a better overview of those issues, please do so, but I'd be grateful if you did not simply revert again, without proper explanation, what seems to me to be useful and necessary text. Ghmyrtle 21:24, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your explanation. However, I would urge you to set out, in the article itself, the information which you obviously have on the formative years of the movement. At present the article simply refers to the formation of the Wandervogel in 1895, but there is no information on what it did in the period up to 1918. The article states : After World War I, the leaders returned disillusioned from the war - but it gives no indication of who those leaders were (Fischer - and Hoffman ?), the size or structure of the organisation, or why it was formed in the first place. This is essential information which should be set out in the article itself - together, if you wish, with a rebuttal of the (false, in your view) information in the article which I cited.

I'm rather curious as to why you reverted my edit. The statement I removed did not indicate a date (it referenced an entire decade, which is generally not acceptable), did not cite a source, and did not provide any detail. I can see maybe rewording it and adding to the section (there should not be an entire section for a single sentence), but not leaving it as it is as the current piece is completely unacceptable. SarcasticDwarf 16:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I figure so long as we have the images there, and they have captions, it's not enough just to say that it is the emblem, but what it has on it if I can. I know those two are weird. I do not know why the apple is significant to the Seychelles, though I have been looking. I have a 6-inch black-and-white image of the Belarus emblem, it really is a hummingbird as that is the name of a level in several Eastern European Guide organizations.

Hi Jergen, please check out http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=101635 . A photograph exists of Baldur von Schirach together with Futara Yoshinori as spectators at fight games of the Hitlerjugend in Bremen, taken August 15, 1937.

Please change the name of this article to The Guides and Scouts Movement of Belgium instead of giving it the French name. The national Movement in Belgium officially has 3!!! names and not just the French one. Maybe we should use the English name (since this is the English wikipedia) or rename it Scouting in Belgium. Jorgenpfhartogs 06:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I still very, very strongly disagree. First of all, you looked on the German google. The Belgian google gives a different picture.
Other facts:
The Germanic scouts are normally seen as a part of the Walloon organisations (the Oostkantons are their own Gewest, but, with a huge influx of Walloons, is normally seen as part of the Francophone Gewest. The normally call themselves Pfadfinder Belgien. There are only a few groups in Belgium that are fully German. A few of them are part of the Flemish movement, a few of them are part of the Francophone movement and a few of them are even part of the German movement.
A lot of ignorant people that don't know Belgium think it is a French-speaking country since most Flemish speak French and most Walloons DON't speak Flemish. Brussel is supposedly a bilingual city (in Flemish territory!), but has a huge influx of Walloons. The fact is that Dutch is spoken by the 6 million people in Flanders to the north, French by the 3.5 million Walloons in the south!!!
More so: most English speakers will look for Scouting in Belgium rather than Guidisme et Scoutisme en Belgique. You have to be able to speak French to come up with this name and since the majority of people on wikipedia search in English I really, really strongly think we should DEMAND an English name for the article!!!!

Hi Jergen, while your reason given for the move at Magyar Cserkészszövetség is arguably a good one – though the applicable policy says "with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity" –, I see no reason why Association of Hungarian Girl Guides should be at the Hungarian name. (The fact that web references use the Hungarian name is no argument: every organization's native name will be used more often than a translation.) Please set up a requested move if you think I'm wrong, but don't revert the move against the established convention. Thanks & happy editing, K issL 09:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Some anon added him to List of notable Scouts. How can this be when he'd have been of Scout age during the Nazi/Communist era? Or did the Czechs have something we consider Scouting during that time? Rlevse 17:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm that anonymous. WW2 was until 1945, after WW2 was scouting legal. Communist era started in 1948. After 1948 cummunists started to destroy scouting and replace it by Pionyr and SSM. So as a kid Vaclav Havel could be (and he was) in boy scout troop. He was in a part of boy scouts called "water scouts". I remember I saw it in some boyscout magazine after 1989 (it must be Junak because there weren't any other boyscout magazines) but you could find it in google. I also remember that when he was a presidnet he was some sort of "bodyguard" of czech scouts and I was on some "parade" in Prague where many scouts walked to Prague castle to see him.
Some links:

Again me, the best is to search for václav havel chrobák, because chrobak was his nickname. Half of the links on the first page of google seems relevant.
Please see: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting/Translations#Algeria. Evrik is moving articles regardless of our discussions. -- Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 09:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Bduke has offered to be the Scouting WikiProject mediator and accept this as his first case on these conditions: 1. All parties must agree to his mediating. 2. All parties must not move any articles until the mediation is completed. 3. If consensus is not reached they must let User:Rlevse as the project coordinator decide whether to implement my final conclusions.
(3) means that Bduke will make a final recommendation if there is no consensus and User:Rlevse can accept it or reject it. Either way, the decision is final and all parties are bound by Scout's honor to follow it.
I am posting this on everyone's ( Evrik, Jergen, Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr)) talk page so they will not miss the offer. Failure to respond with a 'accept' or 'not accept' on the Translations talk page will be taken as an 'accept'. This offer will last until 2400 UTC Dec 2, 2006. Keep in mind that we live all over the world and users need time to respond---specifically, Bduke lives in Australia. DO NOT make any moves until at least 24 hours have passed since his last posting on an issue. Rlevse 01:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Take all the time you need, brother, and thank you for the headsup. I have put info I can find into talk pages to be folded into articles. Chris 20:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I replied to your comment on my talk page before I looked at my watchlist and saw you had removed the Guiding cat from a lot of articles as a parent. Maybe you are right. I prefer to see what others think. So for now WAGGGS members go in that category which has the Guiding cat as a parent and everything else Guiding go in the Guiding cat. Is that your thinking? -- Bduke 02:05, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I've looked at this to see what your guys are talking about. What's odd is that WAGGGS is both on the same level as Guiding (both as a sub of Scouting, as is WOSM) and also a sub of Guiding. If we make WAGGGS only a sub of Guiding, some GG/GS may say why isn't WAGGGS at the same level as WOSM? I have a suggestion that I think will meet both your concerns and also follow wiki policy on categories: Put WAGGGS, WOSM, and the non-aligned cat all under "Scouting related associations" and put WAGGGS under Guiding also. Thoughts? I've put this on both your talk pages. Rlevse 12:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, your idea is even better. I'll do this right away or do you think we should put it on that project talk page first? Rlevse 13:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
If you won't agree to Bduke, there's a wiki mediator who's an occassional project participant, User:Markovich292. I also know a wiki admin in the MILHIST project who I think would also do a good job- User:ERcheck. Let me know who you'd agree to that the others may agree too. Rlevse 19:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm asking you this because I think you wrote these parts. See the FAC for Scouting. There's a question about what are now footnotes 51-54 (Includes ####...) and that the ref'd articles don't have valid refs for the numbers. Can you add footnotes to both Scouting and the country articles or tell me what the refs are and I'll add them? Thanks. Rlevse 16:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I've created Category:Scouting in Russia and put some articles in it, but I've sure there are others I haven't found yet. Rlevse 15:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Brother Jergen, At the link you sent me to, it says "Photos and other graphics should have captions unless they are “self-captioning”, ... when the graphic is an unambiguous depiction of the subject of the article. I've taken off the caption boxes for several reasons-
1) Many of the articles are beginning to standardize to the WorldScout template, which does not use the caption box.
2) The images _are_ selfexplanatory, except in cases like Burma or Georgia or Laos or Mali, where there is some text or some part of the emblem which bears explanation.
3) Other articles on the Wikipedia, like articles on corporations or police departments or army units, do not use the caption box, it is understood that the image used is their logo.
4) Removing the caption boxes makes the articles look cleaner, especially since many of the fleur-de-lises you got at that German site have too much white space around them. Removing the caption boxes deemphasizes that.
5) Several of the removed caption boxes were poorly titled or misspelled. Nobody is going to look at the image and think it is something unrelated.
Those are my reasons, I hope you understand. Now, if there is consensus from project members to put them back, I will stop removing them, but I hope you will understand my logic and let me continue. Thanks, brother. Chris 15:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't mind putting in your project tags, but could you please put in redirects on your non-English articles? Virtually no one is going to come to the English wiki and type in Association des Guides du Burkina Faso, for example, especially not if its a non-Latin script. The odds of these being found on a search are virtually nil. Rlevse 22:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, Jergen, I thought that looked very much like a sockpuppet-most of the names they want in English don't translate exactly. I have an idea, they do this in the Central Asia project. What would you think of taking each of the proposed redlinked name sequences, and making them all redirects, so they all pipe back to the proper article with the proper name in the local language? I mean, I find most articles just by typing "_x country_" and "Scout", but there are some it doesn't work for. (I see Randy's proposal above, that's kind of what they do, like with the interim Turkmen president.) Chris 06:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'm trying to find the Russian equivlant of the Eagle Scout (US). I asked Rlevse for help, and told me to try asking you. I believe it's the Order of the Bronze Beaver, but googling, the Russian Association of Scouts/Navigators article, or the List of highest awards in Scouting could acertain the answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Zidel333 18:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jergen, thank you for the information. That doesn't surprise me-when I lived there, it was very difficult to contact actual Scout officials, almost as though they were too careful to talk to outsiders, but the moment they wanted something from _you_, they could find you. Now, on the RASN site, there is a picture of a fellow with a great big green fleur-de-lis over his right pocket, he may just be support personnel. As far as I know, there really are no functioning, healthy in the accepted sense, accessible organizations among those WOSM has accepted, except Georgia and Armenia-and that's WOSM's fault. The Region really needs to be split up between the European and A-P Regions, if for nothing else than to get it out of the hands of the KGB showboat at the top. Chris 18:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Ich beantrage die sofortige Aufhebung meiner Sperre, die du gegen mich ohne eine Anhörung von mir ausgesprochen hast.

Hi Jergen, have you had time to look at the long discussion in "Discussion 4" of the mediation? Evrik should be back now and I'll ask him to comment too. I have been searching for a compromise that was between your position and that of Evrik and one that might be more convincing to people outside the Scouting Project who might want to change titles without knowing what we have done. In this regard, the Honduras article is a good case and you might also give your thoughts on what should be done with the title of that article. I look forward to reading your views. -- Bduke 23:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I responded to your comment re the above's inclusion in See Also without having looked at your User Page. My response was to provide a dictionary definition of international. This was not meant to imply that your command of English is inadequate although I now see that it could be interpreted as such. I provided the definition to support my contention that Gang Shows are sufficiently part of the movement internationally to merit a See Also link. I apologise if there has been any offence given. There was none intended. Albatross2147 13:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

What's up with reverting my bot's edits to pages linking to the disambiguation page Girl Guides? I will suspend working on this page until I hear from you. However, I hope you are aware that links to disambiguation pages are disfavored and should be addressed in some manner. -- Russ (talk) 10:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
The distinction you suggest is not stated at all on the disambiguation page, and is not stated very clearly (at least, it wasn't clear to me) on the Girl Guide and Girl Scout page. And, as far as I can tell from reading the Scouting article, there isn't any separate Guiding movement; rather, it is simply the female component of the overall Scouting movement. Maybe that is not the reality, but that is the impression given by the articles that now exist. Hope you folks can figure out how to fix this mess; I myself have no interest in wasting my time doing work that is going to be undone, so I'm moving on to other topics. -- Russ (talk) 12:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Brother, I have been thinking, maybe we have Iran mislabeled as being part of the Arab Region. In the article, most of the stuff seems to point to it being in the A-P Region. You are better at finding out the international links, could you look into this? Danke und Gut Pfad, Chris 03:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I've reverted your last change because I don't understand what point you are trying to make. The article clearly requires a section of text which explains what happened in the period between 1895/6 - as mentioned in the introduction to the article - and the period after WW1 where the substantive text starts. I have edited info from the cited article which seems to me to provide an NPOV overview of that period, from the movement's foundation up to WW1, and also provides a bit of context re 19th century social movements in Germany generally. You claim it is POV - why ? If you can provide a better overview of those issues, please do so, but I'd be grateful if you did not simply revert again, without proper explanation, what seems to me to be useful and necessary text. Ghmyrtle 21:24, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your explanation. However, I would urge you to set out, in the article itself, the information which you obviously have on the formative years of the movement. At present the article simply refers to the formation of the Wandervogel in 1895, but there is no information on what it did in the period up to 1918. The article states : After World War I, the leaders returned disillusioned from the war - but it gives no indication of who those leaders were (Fischer - and Hoffman ?), the size or structure of the organisation, or why it was formed in the first place. This is essential information which should be set out in the article itself - together, if you wish, with a rebuttal of the (false, in your view) information in the article which I cited. Ghmyrtle 19:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm rather curious as to why you reverted my edit. The statement I removed did not indicate a date (it referenced an entire decade, which is generally not acceptable), did not cite a source, and did not provide any detail. I can see maybe rewording it and adding to the section (there should not be an entire section for a single sentence), but not leaving it as it is as the current piece is completely unacceptable. SarcasticDwarf 16:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I object to your reversion of my edits without explanation. The English in this article is substandard to say the least. You should thank me for my contribution to making it half way understandable.-- Gilabrand 11:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
I figure so long as we have the images there, and they have captions, it's not enough just to say that it is the emblem, but what it has on it if I can. I know those two are weird. I do not know why the apple is significant to the Seychelles, though I have been looking. I have a 6-inch black-and-white image of the Belarus emblem, it really is a hummingbird as that is the name of a level in several Eastern European Guide organizations. In the color image, it doesn't show so clearly, though. Chris 09:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Based on http://www.scout.org.mk/index.php , it looks like Macedonia added "Republic" to the name of its Scout org, but I don't know when. Your thoughts? Chris 07:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Can you help with translation? It looks like de:Zarandoi is much better than our article in several areas. Danke und Gut Pfad, Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 09:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I translated the material I found about Slovenian Scouts and Guides in Carinthia. Can you please take a look at User:Phips/workshop/ Should it become part of Scouting in Slovenia or an own article?- Phips ( talk) 22:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jergen, please check out http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=101635 . A photograph exists of Baldur von Schirach together with Futara Yoshinori as spectators at fight games of the Hitlerjugend in Bremen, taken August 15, 1937. It says something really small at the side. Can you help get an image that is _not_ marked on? Thanks Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 09:41, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
