Hallo, Your contribution about the Scout and Guide Hut was deleted as "uncited not encyclopedic". The "encyclopedic" is questionable - it seems marginally worth including, though giving it the heading "Weird facts" was a bad idea: weird facts are not appreciated, nor sections called "Trivia". I've replaced it and renamed it (though it might fit better somewhere else in the article, I didn't search hard for a better place), but you really need to provide a source for your information. Is it from a published local history booklet, or a history of the scout and guide companies? It doesn't have to be an online source: real books are still valued. Or a newspaper article going all nostalgic about the past of the building? If you only know about it because you've been told by word of mouth, then it shouldn't be in the encyclopedia (I've just rescued an article about the game I Spy by finding its rules actually written down on the web and quoting them, after most of the article had been deleted as "unsourced").

So, please tell us where you got the information. If you don't know how to do proper references, stick all the information you have about the book / website / newspaper article in between, just after the place where you've quoted the information, and someone will tidy it up for you.
