Talk:Kappa Kappa Gamma/Archive 1

message: I am proposing there be some agreed upon guidelines for inclusion in the "Notable Kappas" listing for this article. The list includes too many 'borderline' famous people and there continues to be controversy as to what constitutes notable. I propose the following guidelines to keep the list a little more relevant:
# The individual must have a wikipedia entry, or at a minimum, be worthy of having one. (I realize that wikipedia doesn't confer notability, but it seems reasonable to state that if you are not notable enough to warrant a separate article, you aren't notable enough to make this list)
# The individual must be an initiated member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, or if the person is an honorary member or affiliated through some other means it should be noted on their entry. (i.e. Honorary Membership)
# The individual must not have returned their badge/ renounced their membership at any point (e.g. Candace Bergan, Angela DiAngelis, et al).
 
Guidelines subject to further discussion - all input welcome. I've taken the (probably controversial) step of removing all individuals on the list who do not currently appear to have a wikipedia article. I've made the assumption that anyone listed already meets criteria 2 & 3 for being a member. I also updated a few links to individuals who had a wikipedia article that was not properly linked, or who i felt deserved a stub. Removed individuals are listed below. If you think they should be re-included, link to their wiki article and go to town... --ppfleiger 18:01, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: ---> Getting back to the encyclopedia part of this though - I agree it should not just be an exercise in re-gurgitation of the PR from the fraternity, however it should be (hopefully) information from legitimate, reference-able sources. The trouble with using the book of ritual as a source is that it is not published, and what secrets are contained within are not printed in plain text anyway. So it could potentially create a situation where anyone could say "it is the goal of XYZ organization to throw frequent naked pillow fights, as referenced in the Book of Ritual", and since the book is not published, no one would be able to prove or disprove the statement. Opinions on loyalty/secrets are somewhat irrelevant? --ppfleiger 16:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Kappa crest.gif is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.
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 there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: The section on purported hand-signs should be considered for deletion on the basis of non-relevance, if not for non-intelligibility.It displays all the earmarks of overly self-referential and internecine pseudo-anthropology, trying to pass as, socially relevant information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjhodge8 (talk • contribs) 06:48, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
