Could you give an example of one article I have recently imported from Wikipedia where I have not done this? Apart from that I have trawled through all the articles in the Categories Scouting in XXX, where XXX is Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, checking that it is present or adding it. I will do the UK ones soon. These are most of what I have imported. I have also been very careful to add to the edit summary the actual version details of the article on wikipedia. That is also a vital thing to do for the CFDL as it points to the exact history of the article. I suggest you remind people to do that too. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 23:37, 6 February 2008 (EET)

== A solution to our import woes? ==
Hi Bduke,
I think I may have a solution! The Import/Export tool. As an admin, I can access it here.
It will import the article with a full edit history - so no need for version or refs!
I'll test it on our latest article.
If it's succesful i'll talk to the owners to see if we could have an import group introduced, similar to the Wikipedia Rollback group.
Please let me know,
