Norfolk[edit]

Norfolk is not the property of The Scout Association, nor do The Scout Association offer all Scouting in the County. Wikipedia is not an advertising site for TSA. If TSA wish to create their own advertising page on here, then they may attempt to do so - but this page will list all active Scout Groups in the County - even though this leads to much duplication.

Further violations of the spirit of Wikipedia will result in formal complaints being made. 87.82.0.221 -- DiverScout (talk) 21:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do it. Do it now and get it over with. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 22:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting. Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association. For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising. Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.

I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate. -- DiverScout (talk) 18:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
