Talk:3rd World Scout Jamboree

Punch cartoon

Wim, I would argue that the cartoon is useful and merits inclusion in the article. Chris 20:38, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

• Hi Chris, I don't say that the cartoon isn't useful, but it is a political statement about the League of Nations, with no graphical or textual reference to the Jamboree, merely to the militarism of Scouting. So it would be much better placed in Punch (magazine) to show the kind of humour they present, or in the LoN article. (I find it oddly used in Boy Scouts of the United Nations as well.) Now, for this jamboree article, I'm trying to find someone willing to donate a photograph or two to the public domain: there is some excellent footage out there, but as far as I see it all copyrighted.

Error in land area

There is an error in the quoted land area: "450 acres, effectively one by 1.5 miles". There are 640 acres to the square mile, so 1.5 mi² is 960 acres, not 450. Can someone check original sources please? Blaise 09:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I've just gone through the sources, and pinetreeweb is the only one I saw with an area - it states 450 acres, so I removed the "one by 1.5 miles" statement. Horus Kol 09:54, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:LoNScout.jpg

Image:LoNScout.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

1996?

Image with Polish scouts was taken in 1996? It's absolutely, positively, and in all other ways... INCONCEIVABLE! JBarta (talk) 01:54, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

As it's been several days and has not been addressed, I will remove the date. If a more accurate date can be found, that can be added. JBarta (talk) 17:16, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

In what way is it INCONCEIVABLE? Just interested. Remove the date until we get a source. --Bduke (Discussion) 21:38, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Numbers attending?

I'm having trouble finding a reliable number of participants for the Arrowe Park Jamboree. So far, I have found 50,000 (apparently unsourced) in the Wikipedia article, "50,000 Scouts from 69 countries took part, with a further 10,000 British Scouts camping in the vicinity. There were 320,000 day visitors" from Story of Scouting Museum, "30,000 Scouts from 71 countries" from The Passing Years (The Scout Association), "Thirty five countries were represented by 30,000 Scouts, plus another 10,000 British Scouts who took the opportunity of camping in the vicinity" from Jamborees of the Past (The Scout Association), "50.000 participants from 42 countries" from Scoutingmuseum "De Ducdalf”, Rotterdam and finally "56,000 Scouts of all nationalities" from The Pine Tree Web, quoting a book published in 1939.

Can anybody resolve the conundrum please? Alansplodge (talk) 16:57, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
