 To-do list for Omega Delta Phi: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2021-08-23
|
Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Article requests : Add the ZIP code to the infobox, fix the national website (right now users will get an antivirus alert about malware or a Trojan risk), and finally, an additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest.
- Citing sources : Most fraternity articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. These could be from a notable publication or book, a university yearbook, an official university portal listing or where the school comments on the student organization.
- Cleanup : Examples and templates are available on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
- Infobox : The infobox is incomplete. The template used for this entry, where you can see all available fields (--these things: "| = text") is the fraternity-specific infobox. This, and other useful items are linked on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
- Maintain : Set a calendar reminder to update the chapter list and otherwise check the article for necessary updates, annually.
- Update : If calling out specific chapters in the body text, italicize the name of the chapter. Wikipedia practice within the F&S Project is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
- Wikify : Add any additional relevant, public symbolism to the infobox. Occasionally, confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and website. Add or confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Expand the History section to include milestones. Any chapter list should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples), or as a separate standalone page when the list is lengthy (subjective, perhaps 30 chapters or more). A chapter list should include dates of chartering. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, or if inactive by using italics. A table will allow room where chapter references may point to portal pages, and allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome. A table may also be used to showcase notable members, but be sure to add Inclusion Rules to avoid vanity listings. Phi Kappa Theta does a nice job with their notable members list.
