[edit] Ratings
I have been re-rating articles for Wikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities due to many being over-rated. I noticed that many of the articles you have rated are among these. Please follow this chart when rating. Your contributions are appreciated and I am glad you have joined the wikiproject. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them on my talk page.

[edit] Great job!
List of Puerto Rican fraternities and sororities is a page that has gone from nothing to SOMETHING great in a short time--because of you! Keep up the good edits! —ScouterSig 18:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Also, could you perhaps start a List of high school fraternities and sororities? I am unsure of any, except those I randomly run across, and don't know where to begin looking--I would begin at a page like that, but it doesn't exist! You seem to know a lot about them from your comments. —ScouterSig 22:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm having a hard time using the table (I'm just dumb), so here are some more I found: Sigma Alpha Rho (SAR), B'nai B'rith Youth Organization, Aleph Zadik Aleph, B'nai B'rith Girls, and NOM (from Nom). Also McClymonds High School mentions an "Akanake" group. (I found these through a google search.) —ScouterSig 21:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I would like to pay a small tribute in this edition to Tony "the Marine". Editing since May 24, 2004, he has been one of our project's most active editors and has become one of Wikipedia's most recognized writers. He has authored over 400 articles, including 4 Featured Articles, 1 Featured List, 10 Good Articles, and 28 DYKs. His name has appeared in newspapers and magazines and has been mentioned by politicians and artists. He has brought Puerto Rico's history and its people to the web. He has shown the world that Puerto Ricans have done much more than just be gangsters and drug dealers. He has shown the world that we have contributed to history and the world just as much as any other group of people. On September 29, 2007, Tony announced that we would not be writing for Wikipedia anymore. We, the members of this project, are sad that he will not be able to continue to spread the word of Hispanics' contributions here on the web, but I, for one, feel honored that he has entrusted us with the duty of continuing and improving his excellent work. Tony, rest assured that your contributions, your wisdom, and the help you provided to all of us when we were new users will be remembered for generations. Que Dios te bendiga, Tony, y que tu recompensa sea grande en el Reino de los Cielos. Viva Puerto Rico libre. —Agüeybaná 16:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC) |

[edit] FIRST INTERNATIONAL FRAT
Per you post on the FIA talk page:
That may be true, but it's a difficult thing to prove. 1) You have to eliminate the possibility that every other american college fraternity did not have a chapter outside the borders of the United States. Including Canada. 2) There are other organizations that call themselves fraternities (though not in the college fraternity sense) that were international prior to this date. 3) Phi Iota Alpha has never made that claim. 2much 14:05, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Page work
ElJohnson, I am working on improving the Fraternities_and_sororities article; I think that the page would be best served moved to a page such as "North-American fraternities and sororities", with the current title becoming a new stub article on the word as a more general organization description--a fleshing out of the current first few sentences. What do you think? —ScouterSig 05:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Mu Iota Alpha is up for deletion and I moved the Puerto Rico fraternity list to List of fraternities and sororities in Puerto Rico so that it falls in line with the two other international list article titles (Europe and Phillipines). Keep up the good work! —ScouterSig 18:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] hey back
I haven't been able to find any online info on Phi Kappa Alpha, or Phi Tau Alpha. I have heard anecdotally of FIA brothers meeting FTA brothers when visiting Cuba. But nothing more concrete than that. It's conceivable that what our concept of a fraternity is, was different for them. More of a social club. This may be why there is less documentation, and less of an attachment to a particular university. In the case of Cuba, I'm sure than mentality was discouraged as to not to get in trouble with the government.
I'll review the Phi Sigma Alpha page and see what I can do to improve it... 2much (talk) 22:17, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notability of Charles Cuprill Oppenheimer
A tag has been placed on Charles Cuprill Oppenheimer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 07:29, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Phi Sigma Alpha
I came across this article while revising WP:PUR's assessed articles and the article seems quite complete, if we could find some references and do some format tweaks we could have a solid good article candidate in our hands, are you interested in pursuing this goal? - Caribbean~H.Q. 17:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- I will make a complete review and offer my sugesstion tommorow. - Caribbean~H.Q. 20:20, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
-
- The article needs some work with the structure, language and references, I will begin work with the structure and language can you help with the footnotes? - Caribbean~H.Q. 22:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
-
-
- I have been considering fusing "Administrative body" and "Chapters" to create a new section, this is to avoid having two single paragraph sections because that is often a pain when the articles are taken to GAC, it should also allow for a good finish in the format, what do you think? - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
-
-
-
-
- The only thing really preventing this article from being able to reach GA is that we are lacking footnotes, I have browsed the web and found these: [1][2] [3] but I'm not sure how to place them, this list on the other hand may help us reference the chapters in PR, the webpages of the universities can be used and will most likely be accepted as third party sources, after the references are placed I can work with any language issues and have it ready for GAC in less than a day. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
