[edit] CMScout page
I have just made some minor changes to this page that you set up. It looks very much like an advert for the program and I doubt it would survive a call for its deletion. Can you suggest ways to make it more NPOV and more wikified? Regards. --Bduke 10:22, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I can't think of anyways to make it more NPOV, except to put a disadvantages section to it. But, if you compare it to other pages that relate to similar types of programs (Such as phpBB and Mambo) you'll notice that it is much more NPOV then those are. But I will work a bit on it.

[edit] Scouting article work
If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).
As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] South African Scout Association article
Thanks for working on this. Definitely better than before. I can not assign GA or FA on my own, they have to go through the GA/FA process. I can assign A-class on my own (though it's higher than GA), but this isn't there yet: the lead doesn't summarize the article, several stubby sections (like Scout Programme), etc. If you want to ensure it'll pass GA, follow the suggestions on AndyZ's peer review script I ran for you and put on its talk page. I'll help if you like. Rlevse 21:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm working on it (Slowly...). Thanks for the support, I really want to get this article up to FA (And when I think it's ready for that I'll put it through the nomination process). I'll give you a shout if I need help, thanks Jediwannabe 17:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

- Ok, done a rather major rewrite and resorting of the article. Mind taking another peak and let me know what you think? Thanks Jediwannabe 20:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA
Re your nomination South_African_Scout_Association at WP:GAC. It's in dire need of more refs. Rlevse 20:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- Look it over and improve any way you see it needs. Rlevse 12:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- This article was put on hold. The issues on the talk page look lengthy but aren't that bad. With a tad of work, it'll be GA. Rlevse 04:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wood Badge
See talk on GA nom here. We think it would be a good idea if you could add a SA section.Rlevse 16:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
