  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Owasippe Scout Reservation. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 23:43, 24 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

An encyclopedia article is simply a summary of what others have written about a subject - nothing more, nothing less. A well written article about a clearly notable subject will tell a complete story about the subject. That does not mean we will ever use personal recollections to fill out the details. In a pinch, you can pound a nail into a board with the butt of a pistol. No matter how often you do that though, the gun will never become a hammer.
