[edit] Discrimination against "Infidels" and Bisexual/Gay people:
See Talk:Girl Scouts of the USA#Discrimination against "Infidels" and Bisexual/Gay people:. --Mistress Selina Kyle 19:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- What is your point by posting this link here? Do you have a suggestion for this article? --jergen 19:08, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- I have to agree with the previous poster. The link is not applicable to the WOSM article, since this is NOT a WOSM sanctioned way of running a Scout association. It is, however, highly applicable to the BSA article. --Johan.holmberg@home.se 01:13, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Role of Scouting at the United Nations
Jergen had a problem with this text.
- The WOSM is the non-governmental organization (NGO), that represents the Scouting movement at the United Nations.
Discussion of the WOSM role at the United Nations is relevant and appropriate on this page. evrik 16:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chief scout
In Template:Infobox WorldScouting there is a field called "Chief Scout". While it is described as the "name of president or equivalent (optional)" (which in WOSM's case should be the Secretary General, as the chairman of the committee is given no powers by WOSM's constitutions [1].
Anyway, there only ever was one Chief Scout of the world, and it was B.-P., so I'd rather mention him in that box, and I'm sure Eduardo Missoni will forgive me ;-)

- There is no "chairman of WOSM", just a Chairman of the committee with no real powers outside the committee.. --Lou Crazy 03:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
The field in the infobox is intended to list the president of the organization. Both Herman Hui as chairman of the executive board and Eduardo Missoni as the Secretary General could be listed. Now they are listed both. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 19:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC).
- The executive power of WOSM rests in the whole committee, not in its chairman. So you'd have to list the whole committee. --Lou Crazy 23:05, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think the point is solved by adjusting the field as done (and equiv. added), and by listing both Missoni and Hui (as done). I'm not going into semantics on chairman nor into the political power of members of the World Scout Committee. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 23:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC).
- By claiming Hui is the chairman of WOSM you are going into semantics :-) --Lou Crazy 23:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting spamming
I am once again reverting the POV addition by User:Jagz, he's already spammed it enough. It would be comparable to someone suing Coca-Cola and having to plaster one's article over articles having to do with all soft drinks or Atlanta. Checking out the guy's edit record, he definitely has an agenda. It's not censorship, it's having your article linked only on proper articles. Will continue to revert each time this comes up.

- You won the debate because you don't make any sense. I'm speechless. --Jagz 02:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scouting Controversies and Concerns article needs expansion
The Scouting controversies and concerns article needs to be expanded by the addition of Scouting problems and controversies from countries and regions around the world. --Jagz 03:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
