[edit] Advertisement

i am definitely not one to turn down help on any of are articles. thanks blueag and the association for all your hard work. I hate doing this, but i did slap that advertisement template up. it isn't nearly as bad as Freebirds World Burrito.

  • some of this stuff is of questionable importance in an encyclopedia article.
  • a blurb on the Texas A&M foundation would be nice: the Texas A&M Foundation is not affiliated with the association, but a lot of former students give to them too. http://giving.tamu.edu/content/content.php?TAMUFWelcome
  • need to integrate and wikilink this article with the rest of the articles that we have.
  • more history of the organization.
  • more standardized references. and it would be nice to have references that are not directly from the association itself. something from cushing or evens?
  • I am not sure why the notable aggies page has no link to this one
  • one thing we would love the association can provide us would be some copyright free pictures (low res picture of course) that the association itself says we are allowed to use.
  • In the long run, we would like to convert most of those bullets to prose.
  • I think that is all i can think of.

Again i feel terrible for doing this. thanks for all your hard work. Oldag07 04:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I think if we pull out most of the commentary fluff and expand on the programs themselves, this could be a much better article. I've already started this with the Awards section. Rather than just a list of award name and a few sentences patting the Association on the back for giving them, the article now goes into detail about what the awards recognize. That makes it much more clear what the goals of the association are. Karanacs 17:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
