[edit] Let's go for FA

• PS, Henry, shall we list SAHK for FAC? Wim van Dorst (Talk) 18:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC).

Gentlemen, I see you both have done lots of good work on SAHK, but may I suggest you have more diverse sources of refs that from various parts of the official organization site? I think this could be an issue on a FAC. Sumoeagle179

• Yes, that would be a serious issue to still improve. And I think some more illustrations wouldn't be amiss. And a good copy-edit is never wrong. Would you care to contribute? Please? Wim van Dorst (Talk) 20:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

• KUDOS for whomever wrote the sovereignty section. It's very interesting. I'll ref it.Sumoeagle179 21:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Henry Li of wikiproject China fame.

• • a) Ref two should maybe be split into a separate note seciton like was done with Scouting b) I looked for more refs outside the official association, but there aren't many, this could be a FAC issue c)it assuredly get pinged on something, they usually are, but will come out a better article, so much depends on who looks at it.Sumoeagle179 16:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

PS, maybe list it for a Peer Review on the SCOUTING PROJECT page, not the wiki PR page.Sumoeagle179 16:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello all, I've back from jamboree while you were discussing and copy-editing. Wim van Dorst, it would be interesting to have make it FAC.
