message: Eleanor Roosevelt? Is that right? --BDD 21:55, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I'll give you Jane Addams as the first honorary member.  But I still have a time accepting Eleanor Roosevelt as being a full member in the traditional sense.  I mean, she married at age 20. Did she even go to college?--SVTCobra 00:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I meant to say "hard time accepting" not just "time accepting". But that is beside the point. I wasn't the one posing the original question. Also, it is all meaningless under the new format of the page.--SVTCobra 00:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Please tell me why we need to place the sorority's executive directors on the page, when no other NPHC fratnernity/sorority has them listed?  Website "copying" pages are not allowed. Bearly541 17:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: :The founders of Alpha Kappa Alpha were not all honor students.  I have the history of the sorority, and it does not specifically state that all the students were honor students.  So, please quit adding nonsense without verification.  As for the Skip-Mason article, APhiA and Deltas list this person as an expert.  So, with your unwarranted edits, you should not delete this fact because it is against "your personal POV."  Bearly541 05:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: First of all, all Howard University women DID NOT found Alpha Kappa Alpha.  That's false information you are placing on the page which should be reverted on site. We know you NinjaNubian/KuntaKenta/or whoever you think you are today.  Second, quit taking out information without discussing it on the discussion page.  If you or your IPs do it again, you will be reported to AIV instantly.  Third, the sophomores of 1910 were honor students and did not take part of initiation ceremonies.  I have told you that time and time again.  Please get some sense, quit being so closed minded, and listen to what people are trying to tell you, unless you want to be banned for Wikipedia for good.  Right now, you are headed towards that direction...Bearly541 00:05, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's it, you are going to be reported, Ninja Nubian.  Bearly541 02:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Can continue, all day, but talk sections can resolve things even quicker...  152.163.100.137 18:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We can talk about it when you stop reverting. Your changes have not been accepted by any other editors on this page. I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish with this foolishness, but you won't get anywhere, and in the process you're causing trouble for other AOL users who want to participate on Wikipedia. Please stop. | Mr. Darcy talk 18:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Vandals do not dictate terms. When you stop deleting properly cited content from the article, we can talk, but until then, your removals will be reverted and you will be blocked. | Mr. Darcy talk 22:48, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: An attempt to compromise was being offered, not dictating terms.  I guess in your myopic view of things you didn't realize it.  150.210.226.6 22:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When you stop deleting properly cited content from the article, we can discuss a compromise. But the content must stay in the article until the discussion takes place. This is non-negotiable. Disputed content stays in until the discussion is completed. | Mr. Darcy talk 22:54, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

text: The problem will be solved when you stop insisting on removing properly cited content from the article. Until you stop this, we'll get nowhere. | Mr. Darcy talk 00:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revert Wars 

message: I move that we eliminate the entire section of name lists - founders, sophomores, executive director - as excessive detail (see summary style). Thoughts? | Mr. Darcy talk 19:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Founders are very important to organizations.  I think we should move executive director, but incorporated past presidents because presidents are above executive directors. Bearly541 05:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So we keep the first list of founders, eliminate the executive directors list - how about the list of, say, "sophomores" who were just invited to join but didn't play a role in the founding? If some of those names were wikilinked and worthy of their own articles, I wouldn't see an issue, but long lists of names of obscure people usually don't belong in Wikipedia articles. | Mr. Darcy talk 14:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The sophomores of 1910 are a part of the "Twenty Pearls" (founders) of the organization. http://www.aka1908.com/past/ AKA's website says that they are important in the foundation of the organization. Bearly541 03:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, let me play devil's advocate. The organization says they're important, but are they important in a Wikipedia sense? Would it be best to provide that link in an External Links section, but only to list a few of the names in the article? It just looks clumsy to me, and I think we should find a reasonable way to condense the section. | Mr. Darcy talk 03:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I think we should eliminate the Executive Directors and keep the founders.  Although the Executive Directors are important for the organization, the Founders (20 pearls) are fundamental because they are the ones which founded the organization and were instrumental in setting up the rules.  I might do a short bio on the founders later when the article is unprotected.  Bearly541 00:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: How about we put the AKA pin into the article?  Please see here:  http://www.aka-dbo.org/images/b_pin.jpg.  Bearly541 01:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Copyrighted image. We'd need permission, or for someone to take a photo of a real pin and to upload that. | Mr. Darcy talk 01:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
