List of Boy Scout calendar illustrations

It has been a 6 year long labor of love to research this article and try to create as many articles about the paintings as possible. I think the list of paintings meets the criteria -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  17:36, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

I don't think I can support without these issues resolved - Aza24 (talk) 07:05, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm really surprised to see only 1 image in the list. Since this is a list of illustrations, having every single one would be ideal, I'm wondering why there aren't? At the very least there should be 4–5.
 * All other paintings are copyrighted, and the NFCC forbids the use of copyrighted materials as a part of a list. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * While I recognize that you mentioned the illustrations weren't given in 1928 and 1930, I would add this to the table, similar to how List of winners of the Boston Marathon mentions in the table that it was canceled in 2020. A lot of people who go to this list might go straight to the table and just be confused over why those 2 years are missing.
 * Done -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Why are "Spirit of America" and "Beyond the Easel" redlinked/linked at all?
 * I was going to write about them at some point in the future. Removed. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * How can the works be referred to differently as "paintings" and as "illustrations"?
 * It has to do with who the art world sees as a "real" artist. Since Rockwell was commissioned to portray a client's product in a positive light, he is considered to be an illustrator, not an artist. However, the medium was always oils on canvas, so the produced work is a painting. This article was recommended to me by a friend who writes about Magic: the Gathering illustrations/art and how the line between the two is perceived. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't "We, too, have a Job to Do" be "We, too, Have a Job to Do"?
 * Done -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Ref 33 seems to have the wrong page number. (Its in the thousands – the others from that author are in the 100s)
 * Done -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It looks like Joseph Csatari can be linked in the sources with "|authorlink1=Joseph Csatari"
 * This a a stylistic decision and isn't required -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Like above, William Hillcourt can be linked too (The other authors don't seem to have authorlinks)
 * This a a stylistic decision and isn't required -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Let me know what you think -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:32, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Support - I knew there had to be a good reason for the lack of images, copyright makes complete sense. You have my support. Aza24 (talk) 21:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Support: thanks for the quick replies, and the list looks very good in every aspect. — Bilorv (  Black Lives Matter  ) 16:07, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
