:::Ok no problems. One thing is don't want here is politics. WP is full of it. And hierachys aswell. I admit pretty much everything i imported to day needs editing down. And the easiest way is probably to speedy them and restart from scratch!

Agree about the politics. Keep up the good work. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 13:16, 6 January 2008 (EET)

== New articles ==
Hi Bduke,
When importing new articles from WP, you need to add {{tl|From Wikipedia}} to either the talk page or the bottom of the article. It's part of the GFDL license, although it hasn't been obeyed till now, for whatever reason.
Any articles that don't have it please add it also.
Thanks,

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,

:Sounds good, but I would like to see more details. I have been adding a link to the actual version imported and then adding your template on the talk page. I tried to fix up an import that Ed had done from Wikipedia with [[The Tobasco Donkeys]], an article that was threatened with deletion on WP. You may have noticed that I have imported some more Scottish areas. I am doing that as I create the new region article on WP. They need to be merged here to make new region articles. I am however busy with other stuff. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 22:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:Ok, cool, i'll look into it more.
:With deleted articles, i'm not entirely sure whether or not we have to give a GFDL thing or not. With other wikis we haven't bothered, as there is no non-sysop way of getting the articles.
:I will look into it further.
:Thanks,
