Project translation

Thank you for joining the Scouting Project. I took the liberty of adding you here Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting/Members#Translators. Hope that's okay.Rlevse 13:53, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting/Article_names. You either need to rename the article to its official translation or add the most common translation to the current article in the first line. I'd expect this is "South Tyrol Scout Association". While it is a Catholic group, the word Catholic isn't in the name. Either way, redirects need to be made. Let me know if you need help.Rlevse 16:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As most European organizations the SP does not translate its name. The best handmade translation is South Tyrolean Scout Association. This is now a redirect. --jergen 18:59, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. But that's pretty exact, about the only other obvious way would be Tyrol vs Tyrolean. Rlevse 19:09, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the 7th World Jamboree in 1951 Scouts-in-Exile and DP-Scouts from Hungary, Latvia and Lithuania participated as part of the German contingent.[10] Also Russian Scouts-in-Exile took part in the 7th World Jamboree.[11]...were the Russians a separate group or should these sentences be combined somehow?Rlevse 18:17, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

your information

Hello Phips, I noticed your discussions at Talk:Südtiroler Pfadfinderschaft. I feel you have some information correct. If you are interested to discuss/debate, I'm open for that. Icsunonove (talk) 03:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Icsunonove, to be active member of one project on Wikipedia is enough. I have informations on several more topics. I know several people from South Tyrol and the Austrian part of the Tyrol (but there is only one Tyrol (Geistige Landeseinheit (official position of the regional goverments of the Tyrol)), read some books, get the news from Tyrol (North-, South-, East and Welschtirol) on TV, radio, the internet and in the daily and weekly newspapers. I have been many times in South Tyrol and will go there many times again. But it´s better to put my time not to much in Wikipedia and more in our people, community, traditions or just go for a beer with some friends.-Phips (talk) 00:09, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your last sentence is very perfect. I made the page for Forst afterall. :-) So you ancestors are from this region as well? Anyway, I'd like to discuss the area just in general, even for my own education. My family is from Trentino, i.e. Welschtirol, and in my opinion, the true Southern Tyrol. :P Icsunonove (talk) 19:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well done the Forst article. I live in Tyrol and a part of my ancestors were Tyroleans, too. The name South Tyrol was introduced in the end of the 19th century for the parts of Tyrol south of the Brenner. But also Welschtirol had the name Southtyrol. The name East Tyrol (for Lienz, Lavant, Dölsach...) became common after WWI, because East Tyrol was really isolated after Südtirol get occupied by Italy (until 1972 it can be named occupation, espacially in 2007 in the jubilee year of Sigmundskron 1957 "Los von Rom" on this demonstration took 35.000 South Tyroleans part). That´s also why East Tyrol became part of the Gau Kärnten after 1938 and was after 1945 for some years occupied by the British like Carinthia. Still today there are parties and not few people who want a united Tirol ("Ein Tirol von Kufstein bis Salurn"). That South Tyrol became Italian was a big topic for the Tyroleans, there were demonstrations, clubs and association to support the brothers across the border, it is an important topic in Tyrolean Folk songs, there are special scholarship for students from South Tyrol studying in Austria, on the 11.11.2007 was a mass of the Schützen on the Brenner Pass to remember the separation of Tyrol, in 2009 a stamp will be issued "Ein Tirol von Kufstein bis Salurn",in Bozen and Meran there are still problems between German and Italian speaking, there are still memorials with the texts such we brought the barbarians culture.... There are two good videos on youtube showing some of the problems: Südtirol Rassismus and Südtirol - Faschistenfeier. The situation was similar to Hungary after WWI and to the Sudetenland. The separation was like if Canada would annex parts of Montana. And one big point is that the counts of Tyrol came from Dorf Tirol and Schloss Tirol and Andreas Hofer (National Hero of Tyrol) was origin from the Passeirtal. All this location was now in Italy also the bishop was in Italy now (the bishop was in Brixen for the Austrian parts (in except the parts which are under the archbishop of Salzburg (i.e.parts of the Zillertal). The diocese of Innsbruck was established in 1964.-Phips (talk) 22:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Took me a while to get back to this Phips, sorry about that. I'm very well aware of the history of the old county of Tyrol. I think you have bought into too much of the politics though with some of your statements. I'm welcome to discuss further. I tried a bit to update the article so it is factually correct and also has the proper links to the modern-day Italian province. Icsunonove (talk) 23:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

supparluca emptied and redirected Category:South Tyrol despite consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 November 28#Category:South Tyrol to leave it alone. Chris (talk) 05:56, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know and I am not really happy about this. I also voted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 November 28#Category:South Tyrol. This is also bad because South Tyrol is a sub-category of Tyrol. And Tyrol (Tirol (Federal state of Austria),South Tyrol and the Trentino is still one historical and cultural region > see for example http://www.1809-2009.eu/ But it is also an important fact that this region has and always had 3 languages Italian, Ladin and German. -Phips (talk) 15:04, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, though the original language of Trentino-Alto Adige was in fact Ladin, which is the local Italic language (like Sicilian in Sicily, etc.). But that is simply being historical correct. All three languages are very nice. By the way, my family is from Trentino where we speak a variation of Ladin, definitely spoken before Standard Italian or German entered the region. Icsunonove (talk) 23:14, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ladin is not the language of the Rhaetics. Ladin is a romanic language. The main influence on Ladin had Vulgar Latin, but there are some elements from the language of the Rhaetics. See i.e. Rhaeto-Romance languages. In the early Middle Ages Bavarii and the Langobards came to Tyrol (North and South). And German became the main language and Ladin was only spoken in small valleys (i.e.Gadertal/Val Badia, Grödnertal/Gherdëina) anymore. So Ladin is really older than German in the region, but not so old as some would like it. And Ladin is not Italian and no Italian dialect! In South Tyrol Ladin and German are the original languages spoken since the Middle Ages (and Ladin even longer). In Trentino Italian, Ladin (Fassatal/Fascia/Val di Fassa) and German (Cimbrian language). In the Austrian part of Tyrol Rhaeto-Romance languages were also spoken in the Middle Ages (early time). The parts of the Europaregion Tirol (Tyrol (Austria), South Tyrol, Trentino) have a common history since the Antiquity. By the way most soldiers from Trentino (also the Italian speaking) (and of course from the other parts of todays Europaregion, too) fought until the end of World War I for Austria-Hungary. And today is in Trentino also a feeling that they belong to a bigger historical and cultural region. So there is an active and growing Schützenwesen, i.e.-Phips (talk) 20:51, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ladin is not Standard Italian, and it is not a dialect of Italian, but it is a Romance/Italic language, i.e., a language of Italy. Italian came to Trentino late, of course, because it is the national language of Italy that was only spread in the last couple centuries. I beg to differ, Ladin is the language of Trentino and Alto Adige, that predates both Italian and German by centuries. My relatives from Val di Non still all speak mostly Nones (a Ladin dialect). This language goes back a thousand years easily, and various forms of Latin before that. Also, what is different from Ladin in Trentino-Alto Adige, than Sicilian in Sicily, Venetian in Venice, etc.? They are all the off-shoots of Latin, and the Italian languages of those regions. Sure, Trentino has a cultural connection even with Austria, Tyrol, etc., but the connection isn't only one direction, it is with also with Italy at the same time. What bugs me is I hear people speak about "Italians". One Ladin guy on here said his grandparents would roll in their grave if I said they were Italians. But I asked him, and I ask you, who in fact are the "Italians"? Which languages are and are not Italian? There is a language referred to as Italian which is Standard Italian, and a dialect of Tuscan. But that is merely the national language of the peninsula.. just like Mandarin is the national language of the PRC. Anyway, it is a very interesting discussion, maybe easier through e-mail sometime. I can easily enjoy both sides of the Italic and Germanic culture, but I refuse to buy into people who try to say it is 100% this or that. As for fighting. It is interesting that civilians usually fight for whoever is their King and pulls the strings. I really don't know how many "Italian-speaking" soldiers there were in Austria-Hungary times, seriously. At that time Welsch referred to the Ladin speakers. It was merely Romance language speakers. Icsunonove (talk) 22:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course was there always influence and links to Italy (or what later became Italy). There were many Italian speaking soldiers from the Austrian Littoral (Trieste) and from Trentino. Italian speakers also fought as Kaiserjäger. There were also many Ladin speaking soldiers from Trentino and South Tyrol. But there were only very few Italian speaking before 1918 in Bozen/Bolzano, Meran/Merano, Sterzing/Vipiteno (similar to Italian speaking in Innsbruck). I worked with Grundbuchblättern of the k.u.k. Armee from Trentino and South Tyrol. Among the soldiers from South Tyrol I found one Italian speaking (speaks, writes and understand) from Bozen/Bolzano. In Trentino (especially around the Lago di Garda/Gardasee) I found a lot Italian speaking soldiers. Among the Ladin speaking soldiers I found many which understand Italian, but only a few were able to write Italian, more were able to speak Italian. But all Ladin soldiers were able to speak and most to write German. Friends and I worked on the history of Scouting in Trient/Trento. There was a really nice and not small Scout group of the Österreichischer Pfadfinderbund from 1916 to 1918 and they were really pro-Habsburg. In the Austrian Littoral (especially in Trieste) there were big Sea Scout groups and they were also pro-Habsburg. Of course was there Irredentism in Trentino and in the Austrian Littoral. The question, which I can not answer today, is which element was stronger pro-Habsburg or Irredentism? So you see I am reading many books about Austria-Hungary and Austrian history. And sometimes I also work with documents from several archives. I am very interested in the History of the Europaregion Tirol. - Phips (talk) 13:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo, circular letter No.27/1992 vom October 1992 (WOSM):

"The World Scout Commitee: recognises the disbandment of the "Council of Hungarian Scouting" a Federation that comprised the "Hungarian Scout Association" and the "Association of Hungarian Scouts Groups".

notes that the the "Hungarian Scout Association" is open to all young people in Hungary without distinction, is representative of Hungarian Scouting, and fully conforms with the requirements of the Constitution of WOSM.

resolves to change the registration of Hungary with the World Scout Bureau from the "Council of Hungarian Scouting" to the "Hungarian Scout Association" which thus becomes the only recognised National Scout Organisation in Hungary, and to so inform the World Scout Conference."

Scouting in Syria

Please give a source showing that there are independent Scout groups within Homenetmen in Syria. The organization runs several activities, mainly sports. Scouting in Syria is regulated by the government, AFAIK all Scout groups have to join Scouts of Syria. --jergen (talk) 23:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On the 8th 8th pan-Homenetmen Jamboree Homentmen Scouts from the following countries took part: Armenia (17), USA (235), Canada (101), Uruguay (11), Argentina (35), Australia (8), England (42), France (18), Greece (19), Lebanon (1), Syria (28), Jordan (8), Kuwait(31), Jerusalem (25), Austria (3), Iraq (18), and Iran (38). [2]

According to The Undauted by Piet Kroonenberg, pp.405-406,409 the Homenetmen Scouts were members of the N.S.O.s of Australia, Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, Lebonon and Syria, before WWII also to the NSO of Bulgaria.

I think that the Homenetmen Scouts in many countries belong to the N.S.O.s i.e. in the U.S. [3][4][5][6]

And so I think it is possible and even probable that the Scouts within Homenetmen in Syria,Lebanon and other countries belong to the N.S.O.s.

As you are a member of Wikiproject Austria, i'm wondering if you could please assess the article Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft that I created recently. Thanks, --Marcus 10:12, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the assessment! Could you provide some hints how to increase it to C-level? Also, would it be possible to assess it on the projects importance scale? --Marcus 06:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, as I am just a simple member of the project. Most of my work on Wikipedia is for the Scouting WikiProject. I will post something on the discussion of the project.-Phips (talk) 16:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Altpfadfindergilden

Hallo Phips, Benutzer Jergen hat mich auf Deine Seite aufmerksam gemacht, ich melde mich bei Dir, weil ich in der deutschsprachigen Wiki an dem o.a. Thema arbeite. Vorerst bin ich noch beim Materialsichten, darf ich, falls nötig, um Infos bei Dir anklopfen? Servus aus Wien --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 19:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC) Sorry, my English is terrible, so I would quorrel you with, Servus --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 19:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo ja kein Problem helf Dir da gerne weiter.-Phips (talk) 08:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Danke, ich werde gerne darauf zurückkommen, Gut Pfad und Servus --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 11:48, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Erste Bitte um Hilfe: Ich brauch' die Altpfadfinderlilie (ISGF), aber sie ist mit einer Warnung verbunden, dass man sie (wenn ich's richtig verstanden habe) nicht ausserhalb des Anglo-Amerikanischen Rechtsbereiches verwenden soll. Kannst Du mir da mit Deinem Rat weiterhelfen? Danke und Servus aus Wien --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 09:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo, hol Dir die Lilie direkt von http://www.isgf.org/, dort unter Downloads ISGF Logos. Die Lizenzinformationen so wie bei den Abzeichen von BdP anlegen: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Bund_der_Pfadfinderinnen_und_Pfadfinder_logo.svg und DPSG http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:DPSG-Logo.svg&filetimestamp=20090419215303 oder WOSM: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:World_Organization_of_the_Scout_Movement_logo.svg&filetimestamp=20080902063349 Logo, Nicht verschieben nach Wikimedia Commons. Dein Mentor hilft Dir sicher mit der Lizenz.-Phips (talk) 10:06, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Uff, sprach der verdatterte Schwarzfußindianer. Da dran muss ich jetzt kiefeln - Du hast recht, ich werd' meinen Mentor um Hile bitte. Danke und Gut Pfad!--Reimmichl-212 (talk) 15:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Den Artikel VDAPG hab' ich jetzt auch in den ANR verschoben, obwohl ich praktisch keine Infos von den Germanen bekommen habe (ich hab' halt alles irgendwie und überall aufgestöbert). Vielen Dank für Deine Mails, sie helfen mir sehr weiter!! Charlotte Teuber habe ich mit einem Kapitel "Pfadfindertätigkeit" ergänzt, bei Willy Teuber bin ich schon sehr weit, nur der Emmerich muß noch ein bisserl warten, man kann ja nicht mit einem Hintern auf allen Kirtagen tanzen. Nochmals Danke und Servus aus Wien --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 10:07, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Phips, jetzt sind alle geplanten Edits fertig und verschoben (auch E.& W.Teuber). Nochmals Danke für deine Hilfe, bis zum nächsten Male, Gut Pfad und Servus --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 20:09, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scouting and Guiding in Italy

Kannst du bitte nochmal auf deine letzte Ergänzung schauen? Ich habe irgendwie das Gefühl, dass sie zwischen zwei miteinander verknüpfte Absätze geraten ist und jetzt der Sinnzusammenhang verloren geht. --jergen (talk) 07:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I started the article at User:Phips/workshop/.But I need your help.-Phips (talk) 16:07, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is great so far! What do you feel you need help with? Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 02:31, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The main focus is on the European-Mediterranean region. So I need help with the other regions. And with the International Awareness Recognition offered by ICCS to members of the BSA.-Phips (talk) 15:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So, what I knew and what I could find is added to the article, now its your turn.-Phips (talk) 22:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Namibia

I've always thought an article on this group would be fascinating, would you be willing to help in translation? http://www.az.com.na/kultur/allzeit-bereit.103996.php I can do it by machine but it will be rough. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 01:52, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I collect material on the Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Namibia and the Altpfadfindergilde in Namibia.-Phips (talk) 22:55, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Danke schön! --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 15:47, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now that we have the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Article incubator going, I would like to move User:Phips/workshop/German speaking Scouts in Namibia to Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Article incubator/German speaking Scouts in Namibia, so that more people can see it and help. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 14:09, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. It would be good if jergen is involved, because he knows a lot about German and international Scouting-Phips (talk) 20:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'm gonna start moving my stuff there as well. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 00:17, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited List of Scouting memorials, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berndorf (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
