I've noticed you've spent a lot of time working on the 31st Dublin Rathfarnham Scout Group article in the past few days. It's looking pretty good, and I hope you don't mind if I make a couple of suggestions.
You might want to consider making some parts a little less personal in terms of writing style. For example, in the An Cumman Cultortha and Christmas trees sections, the article uses "we" rather than "they" or similar. I also noticed that an anonymous (IP editor) added the An Cumman Cultortha section - I would be inclined to maybe remove the !!!! - Wikipedia usually employs quite a formal tone in articles. I find the guide to writing better articles really useful; I often use it as a kind of checklist.
Also, the summer camp locations added on 30/09/07 by a user with the IP address 83.70.230.22 (Rathbergavic, Bialinn, Argie Bargie, Gallozill, Rennestrix, Inverscotia) do not exist, unless it's a special Scout naming convention, in which case, there should definitely be other references somewhere, which there don't appear to be. I would suggest removing them unless you know of a source asserting their significance. If there's anything I can help you with, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thanks! --Kateshortforbob 21:46, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 31st Dublin Rathfarnham Scout Group‎

Hi. I had to take out some of the information that you added to 31st Dublin Rathfarnham Scout Group. Please see the article's talk page for the explanation. It is important that controversial information on such a high profile site as Wikipedia is well sourced. Regarding the notability of the group, what is needed is some sourced information about what makes the group special. Wikipedia has a lot of policies and a steep learning curve, so please leave me a note on my talk page if I can help with anything. All the best, Bláthnaid 22:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
