As WikiProject Philmont Scout Ranch seems to have been inactive since the turn of the year, I propose making it a taskforce of Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting , similar to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting task force. That will ensure it won't get deleted (the WP:Council has been cleaning out inactive projects in recent months) and it will standardize that project with our existing MoS and membership base. We invite your suggestions and comments at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting#mergefrom WikiProject Philmont Scout Ranch. Chris 20:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We have now gone ahead and moved this, it can now be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Philmont Scout Ranch task force. Chris 07:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was a Scout council history book I have at home, 5000 miles away, author David somebodyorother. I have a job interview tomorrow, but I will see if I can't get the title/call number/yaddayadda for you. Ping me in a couple days if I forget. Crazy busy. Guessing you're also Philstaff?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:21, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I've decided to work on the Scouting by state articles, so it will probably take a while. A quick search on Amazon makes me think it's "The Scouting Party: Pioneering and Preservation, Progressivism and Preparedness in the Making of the Boy Scouts of America" by David C. Scott. Philstaff '07-'09, Ranger and Mt Trek Ranger. ZybthRanger ^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:07, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking at "The Scouting Party" again, but it was published after you made your list. I can't find any other promising books on Amazon. ZybthRanger ^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:09, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Near as I can figure, it's A Guide to CSP Collecting, Watkins, Prince (c) 1984, as the descriptions I can find online match the book I have, in storage, a million miles away. But I can't find an image of it, which would confirm it immediately. Alibris.com doesn't have it. Philstaff 91-92, glad you're revitalizing the Project!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:54, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not good at Wiki talk. The list of historic council info was given to me about a decade ago on a CD in Excel from a scout from the NE whose name I do not remember and who did not put his name on the file. He spent many years at National doing the research. Some of the older BlueBook guys know who he is. Anyway, the Wiki stuff came from my long ago posting of the info and my book The History of Chehaw Council, which includes a detailed history of Scouting in Georgia. In 2007, I put a lot on Wiki and over the years, various well-meaning but ill-informed people have just butchered it. Anyway, I can email you the historical council spreadsheet. Send me your email. The book is FREE to read or download at http://www.chehawcouncilbook.com/ . Today, I offered to someone who looks like the head of the Scout Portal to redo Georgia in Wiki format if it can be locked so someone (not me, maybe you) can monitor changes. I do not want to do all the work and have it disappear.

I took a look over at

reliable sources for council histories. Once I finish my work on Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, I think I'll move over to Georgia.

I’m be *&^% if I can figure out how to talk to people on Wiki so I hope you see thisAnyway, you are welcome to use any or all of the stuff from the book when you rewrite it. I did 6 years of detailed researchj on it. Every week I get people from around the world emailing me photos and other new items and info to add so it is still ongoing.

Follow-up

1. I forgot to say THANK YOU for your work and efforts on both Wiki and the Scouts.

2. I did a small update to the main US Scouting page about when local councils were first chartered by National. National chartereed troops in 1910 but not council until 1913. I cited my book (as you know its free so there is no profit motive involved). Should I have cited all the various primary sources? What is the Wiki rule.

3. Do you want a copy of the Excel file with all of the Councils ever chartered by National. A fellow I met at the 2000 NOAC had spend years at the National Office going through the old paper records compiling the data into an Excel spreedsheet and he emailed it to me. It is the source of most of the books, etc. If so email me ao that I can emait to you in either Excel or PDF. [email protected]

Would you do me the courtesy of an explanation of why you removed my addition to the US Scouting page about local councils being started in 1913, etc.?

I'm really tring to help but you are making it really, really hard.

Please use my email.

this tutorial and some of the other pages listed on my userpage

for help on how to use Wikipedia.

I am aware that you are trying to help, but we do not allow copyright violations. As the edit pages on Wikipedia states: Content that

sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. For Wikipedia discussions, I will use Wikipedia talk pages and not my personal email. ZybthRanger ^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:10, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply

First, I have no ill will about this, just disappointment. My favorite saying applies: No good deed goes unpunished!

Second, the information in MY BOOK that you removed came directly from the primary data source and I have the researcher’s permission to use the data. So I guess any copyright issues I would waive by posting it. As I have a Master’s degree in Journalism in addition to a Juris Doctorate (law degree), I don’t think I would knowing violate anyone’s copyright. I don't have the time or the desire to debate this with you.

Third, I have a policy of not communicating with people who will not disclose their name. The reasons should be obvious (I would have liked to sent this privately by email). All of my posts are signed by name and hometown with email even though I am a sitting trial judge and get constant threats.

Fourth, you are still welcome to use the research from our book when you update the Georgia page. If you will notify me I will be glad to proof it. "Life's to short to have hard feeling over small things like this."
