Glossary of Australian Scouting terms[edit]

I have two difficulties with this. One, I do not see how it can easily be sourced. Do you have references to add? Two, I am not seeing articles like this for Scouting in other countries, such as the US or UK? --Bduke (Discussion) 04:59, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bduke: thank you, reasonable points. I do indeed have references, which I have forgotten to add (these are principally the national document Australian Policy & Rules and the state-based Information Books which guide day-to-day operations). I shall amend this ASAP.

Regarding your second point, I did consider a glossary of generic Scouting terms applicable to all countries. However, there's sufficient diversity across the world that any reasonably-comprehensive global glossary would be very long and unwieldy, but there's also enough terminology that means different things in different places that it would likely cause confusion. I would hope that US/UK Scouts will write their own glossaries in the future, and maybe this will inspire them to do so.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
