Talk:Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book

Need Help on a companion project
Like others, I have really used this WikiBook extensively, directing my staff to this site as a great resource. Now I need help on a companion (not Companion) project. I am working on a WikiBook for the new Investiture Achievement Awards and need all the help I can get. It's at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Adventist_Investiture_Achievement_Awards - thanks in advance for your help! Soupmix (discuss • contribs) 13:43, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank You!
Thank you for making this available!!!!!. When I ask someone to teach an honor it is great to be able to give them this resource and not just the honor requirements to go by. Now I can't figure out how to send this message.


 * Just save it, and I will see it here. Thanks for your kind words.  I really enjoy working on this project, and it's even better when someone like you comes along with a friendly thanks. -- Jim Thomas 03:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a fantastic resource - seriously saves time researching. Thanks to all contributers, and I'm trying to fill some of the few remaining gaps JadeDragon (discuss • contribs) 06:18, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Dutch Oven Cooking
That was a great article on the cooking with Dutch Oven. I would like to see more info on how to care for Dutch Oven in the wilderness where one might not have access to newspaper or anti stick cooking spray. Also, if oven should get rancid, can it be saved by turning upside down over campfire?


 * Thanks. I assume that you meant "paper towel" rather than "newspaper".  A clean cloth will work just as well for that.  As for cooking spray, and kind of high-quality cooking oil will do, it's just that cooking spray is more convenient.  Also, I'm going to assume that by "wilderness" you mean something more along the lines of a log cabin in Alaska rather than a backpacking trip along the Appalachian Trail.  Dutch ovens are not practical for trekking because they weigh so much. They are good for canoe trips though, and I imagine they would be alright for dog sleds too.  But you would quickly regret stuffing one into a backpack that you intend to carry more than a couple hundred yards.


 * If the oven should get rancid, you certainly can turn it upside-down over a campfire. Indeed, that's the only way I know of to fix the problem.  Once you do that though, you have to re-season the oven.  Dutch ovens are practically indestructable.


 * Thanks again for your comments! --Jomegat (talk) 12:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Cheating?
Why isn't this a form of Cheating?--Beamer (talk) 00:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Beamer. I don't think this is a form of cheating because the requirements are not a test.  They are the things a Pathfinder must demonstrate knowledge of before the honor is earned.  It is not enough to just read the answers - they must be learned.  Furthermore, many of the requirements are for the Pathfinder to do something, and having instruction on how to do it is certainly not cheating, and the instruction does not get the requirement done.  I hope that answers your question.  If not, we can bring it up on the Pathfinder forum at http://www.pathfindersonline.org/forumbb3/index.php --Jomegat (talk) 02:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I am not sure I understand fully, but it seems as though you have given this subject some thought. That is good enough for me. Thanks.--Beamer (talk) 04:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

PD change
For anyone wondering, I made this edit per this page.--Rockfang (talk) 08:55, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update. I don't know where 1920 came from, but I'm almost certain it was from me. --Jomegat (talk) 13:20, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Question
I was wondering if the Honors for Pottery & Photography are still taught? I saw the link for Digital Photography, but I'm refering to the original photography (darkroom & film). --Dreamweaver3959 (discuss • contribs) 22:48, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, they are. Both patches are still available at AdventSource.  I bought an old kiln a couple years ago thinking our club might work on Pottery - but it needs repair, so that project is still pending.

teaching honors...
i was told there are honors for teaching honors...if so how do i find them and which ones are available...most sites are antiquated and clumsy so it makes it hard to find exactly what one is looking for any help on this would be appreciated
 * There is insignia for teaching an honor, and that would be a silver diamond that goes on the honor patch (AdventSource catalog number 002100). These diamonds can be placed on the patch for any honor you have taught. There is also a Teaching honor, but it is related to teaching in general, and not to teaching honors. The only other thing I can think of is the Pathfinder Instructors Award, which can be earned by a Master Guide.  --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 01:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

AdventSource says to contact local conf office for the diamondsJadeDragon (discuss • contribs) 06:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Some items at AdventSource (such as all "earned" insignia) require a password before they appear in the catalog. If you have the password (given to you by your conference) then you can order the diamonds (and other insignia) directly from AdventSource.  Otherwise, you have to go through your conference to buy it.  This is to protect the integrity of the insignia.  --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 14:34, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Cats
I'm now most of the way through migration the book category from old naming scheme to new (it's now :). Unfortunately, the process it seems I've lost four pages out of /Overlapping requirements, which had 40 pages in it before the move and now has only 36. (I also found and fixed one or two categorization errors here and there, so that a few of the subcats have grown slightly.) --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 19:26, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Update: I managed to find and recover one of the four dropped pages from there.  More were dropped from /Transcluded Modules (at this writing, still being migrated so I'm not entirely sure how many), a few of which I've recovered.  I've noticed, during this operation, that there are other, and sublter, pre-existing flaws in categorization that the few I've fixed.  (I'm considering what one could do to help a situation like this through semi-automation without diminishing the scope for human control of the process.)  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The transcluded-module category dropped eight pages, from 106 to 98. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 19:05, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * (Just noting, in case I lose track before the end of this migration: before I started, the book cat had 37 cats and 803 pages in it.) --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 19:09, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
