This user is one of the 400 most active English Wikipedians of all time.

I'm not sure the hyperlinks were ever removed, Mr. Delsuc, for example, was added without a hyperlink.Naraht (talk) 19:10, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Naraht: Not all of them, sure, but existing article links with slightly different names than the WOSM list (initials, different transliterations of Arabic...) had their links broken. The user was trying to force all names to conform with the WOSM list. In using Wilson's book, he uses initialisms, which drive me crazy but which were the standard 60 years ago. Imagine trying to guess A.W. Hurll and Fred Hurll are the same guy and not family... there were at least 20 articles like that where I found the article in completely another space. Many (not all) I wrote the last time I was between jobs 8 years ago. Three others had written had been deleted by prod, I had to have them restored.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 02:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, a different set of issues. A couple of comments.

1. There may be a few at https://fr.scoutwiki.org/Cat%C3%A9gorie:Personnalit%C3%A9_d%C3%A9cor%C3%A9e_du_loup_de_bronze that aren't in Category:Recipients of the Bronze Wolf Award, we can't use the scoutwiki as a source, but for some of the redlinks, it might prove useful.
2. In Category:Recipients of the Bronze Wolf Award , there are *quite* a few people, particularly the arabs who need default sorts to their last names. I'll try to take a look at that later this morning. (I'm in Washington DC Metro).Naraht (talk) 12:43, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, those French did a great job in filling out those names-much better for a search than initials! I was hoping for something like this! As to the default-sorts, I don't know how to parse most of those names, so I let bots handle it. But if you want to, great. I leave them out when I don't know if I'm right.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:11, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oddly enough the Arabic names tend to be easier than either Spanish or East Asian. But I am trying to verify.Naraht (talk) 13:53, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kintetsubuffalo

I uploaded a picture of Francisco S. Roman to commons (this is the link). Is there any problems in what I did ? because this is my first time in doing such thing. Regards--Aṭlas (talk) 17:25, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your help, and your finding sources? Are you a Scout? I will check the image and make sure it is compliant or do what is best to keep it! Thanks again!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 02:51, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome! Well, I'm not a scout, but I am interested in Scout things (history of scouting, scouts, Scout Spirit.....). --Aṭlas (talk) 03:22, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Mr. Fahrenheit. Since you had some involvement with the Mr. Fahrenheit redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. PamD 20:16, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've added transparency to all the images I can from your list. There are some that are too fuzzy to make transparent, and others where I cannot select the background colour in which to remove it. Hope you like the ones I could do. Cloudbound (talk) 21:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kintetsubuffalo, I noticed the proposed merge tags at Hong Kong Scout Progressive Badge Scheme and Hong Kong Scout Proficiency Badge Scheme (Interest). On review of the articles' content, they appear to contain too much tiny technical detail, most of which is likely to be a copyvio from the sources. There is also no significant claim of notability. I am considering that there should be a PROD or AFD discussion. Thoughts? - Ryk72 ^'c.s.n.s.' 04:34, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In merging, I also plan to significantly weed them. Hadn't gotten to the talkpage yet, putting out a couple brushfires first.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:37, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's obvious to me that you care a lot about what you do, so have this. While I'm here, I'd like to apologize for rustling any feathers. Want some baklava? Vami_IV✠ 05:11, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Vami IV:That's very big of you, thank you. _Now_ you're graduating to Wikigryphon or whatever on your hierarchy. And yes, I miss baklava, none in Japan.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 05:15, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Kintetsubuffalo! I don't actually use the infoboxes though, so I hope you won't be offended if I decline your offer.

Nice to know it's there if I decide to reaaaally go hard in on editing the ZHP pgK stuff though (I remain very active in Harcerstwo, based in the UK, and if my active volunteering/doing the Actual Work With The Kids dies down, maybe I'll channel that energy into wikiediting.) Ancrene wisse (talk) 01:42, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kintetsubuffalo. Regarding your recent edit to Osca: Do you know if the Orthodox Christian Scout Association is actually referred to as "OSCA"? Noting that its initials are O-C-S-A, not O-S-C-A. (I'm considering the possibility that even though its initials are O-C-S-A, people might informally refer to it as "OSCA" because "OCSA" is more awkward to say). Thanks.

My mistake, thanks!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That was a while ago! I'm glad you liked it. Merry Xmas, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:18, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kintetsubuffalo I have vectorised those files you requested.

• File:Druze_Scouts_Association.svg
• File:Girl Scout Association of Mongolias.svg

Tsange ☯ Talk 16:02, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tsange: Thank you so much! I meant, though, that Mongolia should use the same colors as the original (except the same lighter blue as the flag), only the design has been modified.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:13, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Something like this? File:Girl Scout Association of Mongolias.svg Tsange ☯ Talk 15:22, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bingo! Thank you so much!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:26, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at the article. It's a copyvio so will end up being deleted soon. Is it your first time to visit Australia? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 03:11, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AthomeinkobeYeah, my uncle is dying so I need to get down there to see him. Mixed feelings. By the way, based on those recent Lankan edits, I believe the editor is actually the owner of the site (I know the site owner), so it's copyvio from himself, don't know how to handle that...--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:14, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you have a safe trip. There are hoops the site owner can jump through to release the text, but I've never done it myself. But in this case there's no point because it is not English. So it would be better if he could translate it (based on sources of course). AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 03:18, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

From the icy Canajian north; to you and yours! FWiW Bzuk (talk) 04:21, 26 December 2016 (UTC) [reply]

Hi Kintetsubuffalo. Could you tell me how you obtained this image? I wanted to transfer it to Commons, but it's missing verifiable source information. Thanks, FASTILY 05:05, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I was away for a week, @Fastily:. The owner who gave me the photo is the little boy in the photo. Let me dig through my files.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:15, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your complaint at ANI and thought you might be interested in this SPI. JimRenge (talk) 11:00, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kintetsubuffalo, As per this ticket from isgf.org the current logo at International Scout and Guide Fellowship is outdated and the new logo has a white background and thick border (see here). Cheers – GSS (talk|c|em) 12:10, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Opps I just found it. Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 12:11, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have done the logo, using the colours of the flag. So it is darker than http://media.wix.com/ugd/22fb20_9a11dfa5be4840d3b51b371490e2147c.pdf and more like http://www.rwandagirlguides.org/gallery?lightbox=dataItem-iqmga50f1 . Association des Guides du Rwanda has a website with lots of information. http://www.rwandagirlguides.org/ --Egel _Reaction? 17:18, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
