Expansion

edit

I've tried to flesh this out a bit, but there is still much to do.

I've added a handful of sources, though we can certainly use more. I'd especially like to see independent sources discussing the program as a whole, rather than the hyper-local coverage I have right now. While it's great having sources in Philly, Princeton and Cambridge discussing the chapters at Penn, Princeton and Harvard, something with wider circulation and discussing the organization as a whole would shore up any lingering notability concerns. (Frankly, I'm hard pressed to think of any other student-run organizations spanning three Ivy's over 3 decades.)

I addressed the "orphan" concern mostly by adding the article to the nave boxes for Penn, Princeton and Harvard. As a result, there are now links to this article in several hundred articles. Independent links in more closely related articles would increase traffic here and hopefully lead to improvements to the article.

I've added a couple of categories. There are certainly better ones yet to be added. I don't really know what they are off hand.

I ran across this article when my former assistant's daughter was in the show on Friday, so I have a connection to the article, but it's pretty tangential, well outside of my personal COI policy. Nevertheless, my goal here is to try to add to the article a bit, mostly to solidify notability and hopefully bring in some more editors. With roughly 100 undergrads working for the program each year, a few of them must be editing Wikipedia, we just need to help them find the article. - SummerPhDv2.0 05:02, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
