Your Recent Edit to Scouting

1. 

   You have recently vandalized a Wikipedia article, and you are now being asked to stop this type of behavior. You're welcome to continue editing Wikipedia, so long as these edits are constructive. Please see Wikipedia's Blocking policy and what constitutes vandalism; such actions are not tolerated on Wikipedia, and are not taken lightly.
   
   We hope that you will become a legitimate editor and create an account. Again, you are welcome here at Wikipedia, but remember not to vandalize or you will soon be blocked from editing.

• I reverted you edits because they do not represent a worldwide view. The article is not about the Boy Scouts of America, it is about Scouting as a whole. Do not revert again. If you have an issue, start a discussion on the talk page. John Reaves 06:36, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Scouting Edit

Why did you mark my edit for scouting vandalizem, the edit I made is a published fact on the BSA website and I stated my sourse as a refrance in the article? -PLEASE SIGN YOUR COMMENTS

• I've already explained this in my edit summary and in the comment above. Add your comment somewhere appropriate on the BSA page. John Reaves 07:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Something to read:

• Being gay with an adult role in Scouting
• It's OK to be gay and a Scout! Advice for young people.

The article Scouting is about The Scout Association, Scouting Nederland etc too.

• The same edit was removed from Boy Scouts of America. Your cite is a link into the BSA web site search engine and is not specific enough for a valid cite. The section in question is well referenced. BTW: It is Council not Counsel in this context. Details on these issues belong in Boy Scouts of America membership controversies which is also well referenced. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 12:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
