[edit] Mark Hatfield

Thanks. I did not realize he had been so controversial lately. I am just a WWII buff and wanted to beef that part up a bit.

• What/why are the big controversies?
• Are you a fan, or just policing Wiki well? Beanbatch 20:08, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alpha Phi Omega

Hi, regarding your work with Alpha Phi Omega; I believe that you are doing a great job, however I want to caution you that it's not a good idea for individual chapters of any fraternity or sorority to have their own article on wikipedia. These pages tend to get deleted or merged as they are of no real interest to people outside the chapter. Please refer to the current VfD of Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Chi_Delta which is a chapter of the Psi Upsilon fraternity. --Dysepsion 21:22, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I am involved with the group in a round-about way. I'm a Venturing Advisor who has a couple of Venturers involved in the extension effort. Plus, being an alumnus of the school, I have quite a few contacts and connections that they are starting to use to their advantage. Justinm1978 06:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HRB Wyoming

That sentence about wyoming is correct. He worked with scouts in Kentucky or Virginia. I have plans on expanding out the whole article. I have the definitive guide on Bartle, the book by his daughter. I've heard her speak more times than I can remember.

Seems awkward in phrasing though.Naraht 15:55, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Alumni

I didn't assume that those without pages were not worthy, however; those contributors adding the persons name can add the person's page even if its only a stub. My thinking was that this is an article and should contain the list of every member which would eventually overpower. But, I have no problem with it reverting back. Ccson 19:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Messaging?

I just got your message, but I'm not sure how to send you one back. Maybe I'm blind, but I couldn't find instructions in the help pages and I'm pretty new here. Could you point me to a man page or something for inter-Wikipedia messaging? If you leave it in my user page I'll get it within a few days (I don't visit Wikipedia that often).

[edit] Charlotte Mason

Greetings, usually when one isn't ready to write a full article they create it in their userspace first and then move it to article space; thus I restored it to User:Naraht/Charlotte Mason. When you're done you can click the "Move" button and rename it to Charlotte Mason. Thanks, CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 20:30, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Have you seen Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion? The two critical ones here would be lack of context and notability. Thus far it's "Charlotte Mason-(Born 1842 Died 1923)". What would be essential would be too finish off the sentence with "is a...." followed by a decription of something sounding notable. "...is a published author whose theories influenced homsechooling methods," for example, maybe with a reference or two to prove she exists and is a published author. Cheers, CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 18:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

The article has definitely improved. However, checking some of the external links I noticed the wording in the article is too close to the wording in some of the sources. These parts of the article must be reworded, as copyright violations in Wikipedia are illegal. Thanks, CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 18:29, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fraternities and sororities in the Philippines

Great job, keep up the good work. I think this is an excellent list. The fraternities and sororities in the Philippines definetly need their own list because the current list is implied to be Greek lettered societies of North American origin. Also, from what I know, the historical evolution of the greek system in the Philippines as well as some of their practices, is different from that of the North American fraternities. --† Ðy§ep§ion † ^{Speak your mind} 04:04, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 14:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Geek fraternities

The redirect was created as a logical misspelling. I don't know how long you've been with Wikipedia, but if not very, you should know that this is standard operating procedure. As I recall, and it was quite a while ago, Geek fraternities went down for the count in an articles for deletion discussion. However, since the user typing this into a search box might in fact have been looking for "Greek" fraternities, there is no harm in hanging onto it as a redirect.

Thanks for asking

[edit] TomTomTom?

I saw you using a pseudonym on a talk page by simply changing the linktext. While that's not sockpuppeting, isn't it bad form? (Just asking, I haven't been here long enough to know.) — vijay 13:15, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

'Cause it was so weird, I checked the revision history, and the comment was actually made by an un-logged-in IP address. The page is here, and it's the topmost comment where you can see TomTomTomTommy responding to you, but his(?) username points to your talk page. It's presumably not you, though, since he disagrees with you! I dunno. Bizzaro vandalism? — vijay 20:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Yup. Bizarro vandalism. Most of the contributions from that IP address are to the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity web page and Group of Death. Naraht 20:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Year linking

Hi, Naraht! I was being lazy on United States Congressional Delegations from North Carolina when I delinked the years. However, the Wikipedia Manual of Style, specifically Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Partial_dates, has some discussion about links to years-only. I am of the camp that believes linking years without the month or day is a bad idea, so I try to delink them. In the North Carolina article, I failed to delink all of them. So I suppose it's your call as to whether to link or delink those years. Cheers! —Markles 01:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Darwin

Can you show me where Apple have released the version of Darwin that corresponds with Mac OS X 10.4.7? I looked earlier and couldn't find it anywhere. The usual place is http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/. AlistairMcMillan 19:49, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jospeh Doria

Just following up. Spoke with my father who assures me that he and Joe Doria were inducted into the Omicron Sigma chapter together and both were members until graduation. His theory is that some names were added to the database when the chapter wa reactivated in 1996, but not all the records are complete. My father was the community advisor at the time of the reactivation. Jim Miller 12:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alpha Kappa Rho

I see you indicated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alpha Kappa Rho that you are interested in trying to clean that article up. If so, please note that AfDs normally last five days; this one started on Aug. 24, so it will probably end Aug. 29. --Metropolitan90 15:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Understood. There appears to be enough for a good article there, even if I have to go back and look at some of the prior versions. Naraht 22:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BYU first

What specific questions do you have? --NThurston 18:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, BYU has a Venturing Crew on campus. It is exclusively for students in the Rec Mgmt and Youth leadership program who are doing the track to become a professional Scouter. It is one of few (if not the only) such program in the country. You should get in touch with Brad Harris, the faculty leader of that program. I am sure you can find his contact info through the net. He could answer all questions that you have about Scouting on campus. The Pow-wow is organized through Continuing Education, and although I know there is a lot of student support, I could not tell you exactly how the leadership structure works. --NThurston 20:00, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fraternity and Sorority

Sorry about that, I wasn't aware of the special circumstances. It makes since, as that is the only way to display the letters. Stealthound 13:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] APO Userbox

Thanks for the heads up! Cstaber

[edit] Greek template

As a member of the Fraternity and Sorority project, please check out the proposed project template and leave your feedback. Scoutersig 17:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] APO Welcome

Thanks! I just started my pledge period at the AEH chapter. What chapter were you in? --DodgerOfZion 05:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Sweet. Looking forward to what APO has in store for me. --DodgerOfZion 02:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SAINT

Hi Naraht. To be honest, Nessus (software) is mostly unreadable to me. It should really be cleaned up to remove all the technobabble. Regarding SAINT (software), the loudest indicator of spam is the use of the "®", and the outlining of certain products or services in the headers. But basically it just looks like it's trying to sell it to me. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia really doesn't need a blow-by-blow description of exactly what the product does or what makes it cool. We need to know why it matters. Does this help? There are also various article-writing help pages you can look at, like Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles. Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 20:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I'll be happy to look it over when you're ready. I also added some tags to Nessus (software). Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 20:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Featured lists

I came across the wikipedia featured lists page, and thought that our list of notable APO brothers might be worth shooting for to get on that status. Then, that led me to the List of notable Eagle Scouts (Boy Scouts of America) page, which already is a featured list. So that gives us a good example about how to model our list. There's a couple of interest things about the BSA eagle scout list. For one, it's simply alphabetical, not organized by membership status or occupation. they have a small icon which designated those that are recipients of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award. I guess the equivalent of that for APO's distinguished alumni would be either the national DSK or national alumni DSK.

What we could do for the notable APO members list is to list in alphabetical order, like the BSA list. Then have small icons for various categories; a small service pin icon for a notable alumnus, a small service pin with an 'H' in the middle to denote a notable honorary, and small icons of the two DSKs to denote recipients of both of those awards.

On another note, I also like that they have added (deceased) to each person on the list that is no longer living. And I also don't feel too bad about our list having 177 citations; the BSA list has 107. Dr. Cash 22:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
