Images?[edit]

Would there be any way to add images to the chart?71.168.2.15 (talk) 04:32, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. We had images in the main merit badge article, but they violated the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. Using non-free images in lists fails the criteria. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 12:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Much as I'd love to have the images; I'm not sure NON-FREE images exist of all the images, much less free ones. Forget the fair use rationale, an existence rationale will do. Purplebackpack89 ^{(Notes Taken) (Locker)} 19:21, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Confused. All of the merit badges have an image available. I don't know what an existence rationale is. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 22:13, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! The Invention merit badge has an image available? I thought that all the (10) of those awarded had disappeared? Purplebackpack89 ^{(Notes Taken) (Locker)} 22:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
