[edit] Phi Iota Alpha

Hi, 2much. You added Phi Iota Alpha to a list of honor and professional fraternities at RIT, but a look at the article on PhIA indicates to me that it's a social fraternity. Could you clarify? Powers T 16:09, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

error corrected 2much 16:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Powers T 18:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I like the borders around the fraternity colors; it brings out the white color. I tried to do it several time before using the template {{border}}, but was unsuccessful in applying it here. Great job!!!--Ccson 15:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citing sources

I have provided the source in the Fraternities and sororities article that was requesting the citation for Alpha Phi Alpha. You may view the way I added the source to add the one for Phi Iota Alpha. I also added the footnotes template to PIA which will automatically number the footnotes once you begin inputting your sources within the article. I added the first footnote for the North-American Inter-fratenity Council text. You should also view these templates {{cite web}}, {{cite book}}, {{cite news}} which provides formatting rules and good examples for inputing the specific source fields. Let me know if you need further assistance. Ccson 04:21, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikilink tip

It's only necessary to wikilink a word only once in an article; so, if you provide a link in the beginning of article, and then use the word at any other point, you don't wikilink the word a second time. For example, in the Symbols section of the PIA article, the words "fasces", and the colors such as azure or or are wikified each time they are mentioned. You should edit the entire article and remove any duplicate, triplicate, etc. links to bring it up to wiki standards. Ccson 04:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

You are using the "special piped syntax" when an article has parentheses after the main title for the [Secretary of State (U.S. state government)]. By adding the "w:" before the article title, you no longer need to place the good title "Secretary of State" after the "|", that's the purpose of special pipe synax. the field [or (helraldry)] also qualifies and so I changed this to [[Or (heraldry)|]], which still yields Or. You can reveiw the edit to see and I'll let you make any other changes to the article.
the history section of PIA indicates you're making a lot "fixes to citation". You should use the Show Preview button before saving your changes to verify the accuracy. However; in order to see the changes, you must edit the entire article so that the Footnotes section shows. If you only edit the particular section, you will not be able to see the changes until you save, and that when you notice an error was made in the formatting.
also, what was the reference you had that Alpha Phi Alph was the first for African Americans? Ccson 15:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ula.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ula.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Sigma Iota / Phi Lambda Alpha

Hey, 2much, I see that we have worked on some of the same pages, since you are Phi Iota Alpha and I am Phi Sigma Alpha, how about we crear the articles for Sigma Iota and Phi lambda Alpha since they are both our mother frats. Got the idea from the Phi Iota page http://www.phiota.org/sigmaiota.php . --Eljohnson15 22:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nalfo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nalfo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight 0001 15:52, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

My bad buddy...I have been overwhelmed by people removing tags and templates needlessly and biased-based, and I just breezed through this one a bit too fast. My apologies, keep up the good work, and, as always, happy editing! Jmlk17 19:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:75logo.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:75logo.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

[edit] Good article

There are several places where the text lacks citations and I have made note within the article for a couple of sections. Also, your text reads more like blunt statements rather than "brilliant prose", and it will probably need more copyediting before going for Featured Article. I attempted to rewrite the Expansion paragraph so you can see how I think you could combined several sentences into "brilliant prose". The first two sentences of the paragraph I left unchanged because I didn't know what to do with them. For example you could say "The attendance at the 1938 convention was evidence of PIA's expansion with chapters being represented from such states and countries as State, State, Country and Country." I'll review the remaining article and provide further comments on the GA review page.--Ccson (talk) 22:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I am re-reviewing this article, because I find that there are some mistakes. Progress is shown here. The article will be on hold on Wednesday, when I finish reviewing the article. Cheers. miranda 19:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
