I don't see an infobox with no parameters being useful. It makes the image smaller and adds unnecessary bulk to the page In actu (Guerillero) Parlez Moi 03:27, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's quite disappointing to see that we're not able to include the illustrations themselves due to NFCC rules. Trying to work around that, I wonder, does the Boy Scouts website or some other official place(s) host the images? If so, I think we might be able to justify having an external link column that'd take people to the illustrations. It's quite uninformative to see that e.g. the 1963 painting was A Good Sign All Over the World but have no way to easily find that painting, since the reference is just to a book that most readers won't be able to easily access. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 03:10, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdkb: I don't know of a place on the BSA website where they all are --In actu (Guerillero) Parlez Moi 04:06, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Guerillero, have you tried reaching out the National Scouting Museum? I'm not sure what the copyright considerations would be for them hosting the paintings on their own website, but telling them they're about to grace the front page of Wikipedia in a few weeks might spur them to put up the pages if they can. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 17:57, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request for comment on use of Infobox

[edit]

Should this page use {{Infobox WorldScouting}} to frame the photo at the top of the page? --evrik (talk) 04:52, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Still No - Please note the image is on the righthand side of the screen, the predominate location for most images of importance, so it is fully highlighted by its position.Parkwells (talk) 15:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
