Hi everyone,
Hi everyone,


Line 77: Line 78:
I have just created an account and copied all the State and Section articles of Scouts Australia from Wikipedia. Looking at my contributions, I see it lists 4 back in March or February of this year which clearly are edits to wikipedia, not here. Should the history be copied over when an article is copied over? If so, how? However, I note that those 4 are certainly not the sum of all my WP edits to scouting articles, even up to March when most of the copy seems to have been done. There must be hundreds going back to 2005. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 03:14, 28 December 2007 (EET)

:OK, I have now found [[Help:Importing articles under GFDL]] and I had not added the version number on the edit summary for the articles I copied from WP. I have however now added the link on the talk page. I will follow the correct procedure in future. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 04:46, 28 December 2007 (EET)

==New logo==
Hello lucky people,
You now have a brand-new, shiny logo … Not very different from the previous one, as you will probably have [not] noticed, but it has been entirely re-designed and should look better. And if you need to use it for some specific purpose, like creating images bearing that logo or whatever you want, you will be pleased to see that its original version, in .svg vector format, is available [[scoutmedia:image:scoutwiki en.svg|here on Scoutmedia]].
I hope you enjoy contributing ScoutWiki. If BG7 is a naughty admin, tell us [[image:face-wink.svg|20px]] ! [[User:Akela NDE|Akela]] - <small>[[Special:Emailuser/Akela NDE|yaw]] [[:fr:Discussion utilisateur:Akela NDE|yaoooo !]]</small> 23:07, 15 January 2008 (EET)
==Policy suggestion about imports from Wikipedia==
To make it simple to see when a page, that was imported from Wikipedia, was cross-checked, there should be something to make it easy to see the Wikipedia revision that was cross-checked, perhaps a template on the talk page. [[User:Juham|Juham]] 15:00, 7 January 2008 (EET)
:Hi Juham,
:I will be putting a template in place over the next few days. This sort of question should go to our ''"Village Pump"'', but as it isn't set up yet, well done for posting here! Why don't you vote for the VP on the talk page?
:Thanks,

::{{done}} Page created at {{tl|From Wikipedia}}. Still some tidying to do though. One for Commons will follow. '''<font face="Verdana">[[User:Bluegoblin7|<font color="blue">BG</font>]][[User_talk:Bluegoblin7|<font color="gray">7</font>]]</font>''' 18:01, 8 January 2008 (EET)
==Can someone upload this image?==
Hi,I can't save .svgs on my pc, so can someone upload [[Image:Yes check.svg|100px]]? It's [http://train.spottingworld.com/Image:Yes_check.svg here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Yes_check.svg here] if you need to find it.
Thanks,

== News namespace ==
It seems that you're advising your users to create news pages so that the page name starts with ”News” prefix. Do you want this to be handled as a separate namespace? That enables you to search only from news, clears up the structure and the discussion pages are named properly (Talk:News:Blah vs. News talk:Blah). I'd recommend this. --[[User:ZeiP|ZeiP]] 15:12, 3 February 2008 (EET)
:Yes, that would help! (BTW can discussions such as this <big>PLEASE</big> go to the [[Fire|Camp Fire]]? I didn't set it up for nothing...

== How to start new Language version? Please help me. ==
Hello. My name is Jan Pospisil, my scout name is Eifel. I am ready to translate to/from Czech, English, Esperanto, Slovak (and later also Spanish) languages. I would like to start with a new Czech wiki - please, can anybody create the new main pagxe, which I am going to translate into Czech? There are hundreds of articles in English to be translated to Czech (and to Esperanto). I am ready to work.--[[User:Jan Pospisil|Jan Pospisil]] 22:13, 24 March 2008 (EET)
:Hello Jan,
:To start a new ScoutWiki, you will need to speak to one of the ''"owners"'', [[User:Akela NDE|Akela NDE]], [[User:Cedsib|Cedsib]] and a few others. In the meantime you are welcome to use the en wiki to build up your own, just please categorise all the pages with [[:Category:CzechWiki]] or similar, and use a language prefix (cz:?).
:If you have more questions, please contact me on my [[User talk:Bluegoblin7|talk page]], or use [[Fire|The Camp Fire]].
:THanks,

Hello. My name is Aleksander Matsiyevskyy, my scout name is BigFox. I am ready to translate to/from Ukrainian, English, Russian, Polish (and later also Spanish) languages. I would like to start with a new Ukrainian wiki - please, can anybody create the new main page, which I am going to translate into Ukrainian? There are one scoutportal and few pages are into ukrainian languages . I am ready to work.--[[User:OUS-2|Aleksander Matsiyevskyy]] 22:13, 17 april 2009 (EET)
:Starting an Ukrainian Scoutwiki is no problem, but we must be sure that the wiki will be active. People must regularly write articles and the wiki must be maintained: spam removed, spell checked, redirects and categories made, layout improved etc.  We saw you are the the president of one of the Ukrainian Scouting organisations, that is no problem. But an Ukrainian Scoutwiki must be open for all Ukrainian speaking Scouts, you must be willing to allow members from other Scouting organisations to write about their interpretation of Scouting.  --[[User:Egel|Egel]] 16:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
