Mortimer L. Schiff Scout Reservation[edit]

Mortimer L. Schiff Scout Reservation

  • Oppose -evrik 19:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - the Schiff Reservation is a national entity, not a state or council one. The New Jersey entry doesn't talk about other national entities (like the national office) having been in that state, so why talk about Schiff? Rick Smith 21:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Attention tag[edit]

Now that Pahaquarra Boy Scout Camp has been merged, it really needs a good cleaning up. Chris 01:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to include scout camps, Central Jersey also has Yards Creek. --ZeWrestler Talk 14:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Northern New Jersey Council[edit]

@RoySmith: about this edit at Northern New Jersey Council, www.angelfire.com/tx6/patch/cspbook.html is used a reference on more than 100 articles. It is the authoritative source on the history of the councils. Refer to the section above. --evrik (talk) 02:40, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So, because more than 100 articles are using the same source, that means it's a WP:RS? What makes the author(s) authoritative? WP:RSSELF says Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications. How does this qualify? -- RoySmith (talk) 03:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You said you were a scout, right? Did you ever collect CSPs? Up to 2003 this was the authoritative resource on all the councils that had been founded and closed by the BSA. As a tool to the patch traders, they compiled from BSA sources all the councils. There are a couple of others works like this (look here: List_of_defunct_councils_(Boy_Scouts_of_America)#Notes). --evrik (talk) 03:50, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was a scout. I learned many things which have served me well my entire life. Never got into patch trading, however. But, that's not really the issue. The issue is whether this is a RS. I get that the community of patch traders accept it as such, but enwiki has higher standards. I'm going to ask at WP:RSN to see what folks there think. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
