[edit] Major work

Ok...not sure who made this page but it needs some major work in terms of sentance structure, and information provided. I think we need to develop each section with the most correct information. Writing in the article that scouts are forced to salute the flag, or that its an actual military flag ceremony are misleading facts....of course this is just an example to the many other issues I have with this. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by Funke1rp (talk • contribs) 07:41, 13 January 2007

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cole.jpg

Image:Cole.jpg 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 22:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

This picture has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Cole Canoe Base as far as I can tell. It appears to be a dance club in the 40's tho I do not know that for sure. Dachande (talk) 18:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merit Badge chart

I added the chart of badges, with links to requirements. If anyone wants to help finish the links, please do so. Thanks! Can-Dutch 22:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LOST Entry

Is the inclusion of "record held by Crew 25" really necessary? To me, this feels like it's being used as bragging space, rather than the inclusion of useful facts. I'll remove it until a solid contrary reason is given. Can-Dutch 17:54, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Doe Horn" fake campsite

I would like to request that "Doe Horn" is not added to the campsite list any more - besides not providing factual information, 18 items in a list that's headed with the phrase "Cole Canoe Base has 17 wonderful campsites" is a fairly obvious notice of that lack of factual information.

Also, I'm moving the campsites section ahead of summer program, that looks more relevant. Can-Dutch (talk) 03:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I've never heard of "Doe Horn" (obviously a play on Buck Horn) and I've been going there since 1995. My guess is it is quasi-vandalism. If I notice it in the future I'll remove it, provided Cole doesn't add a campsite called Doe Horn. Dachande (talk) 20:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] History Section NPOV

Alright, I fully agree that Cole is an outstanding camp, and has an outstanding staff. I really do, I love it up there. But I don't think we can justify leaving those statements in the History opening without a citation about how awesome they are. Otherwise it's speculation and/or POV opinion. I'll look but everyone keep an eye out for something to substantiate this. Dachande (talk) 14:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
