[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Swc.GIF
Image:Swc.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Merge of 3rd Frodsham Sea Scouts
Individual groups or troops are not notable other than in exceptional circumstances and there are no exceptional circumstances here. It is one of 100 Royal Navy recognised Sea Scout Groups. That does not make it notable. The whole paragraph on RN recognition is almost identical to a paragraph in Sea Scout (UK), which is where that information should be. Similarly the paragraph on Sea Scout uniform is identical to a paragraph in Sea Scout (UK). That just leaves the lead that says the Group exists. The RN recognition should appear by the name of the Group in Scouting in Cheshire. That is all that is needed. Please give your opinions below. --Bduke 22:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability
I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting. Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association. For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising. Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.
I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate. -- DiverScout (talk) 18:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
