Talk:International Order of the Rainbow for Girls

message: I am going to promote this to Start Class.  It definitely isn't just a stub anymore.  To move it further the first thing needed are more citations and references.  Blueboar 23:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Promoted to Start Class

message: Hey, folks, we really need more independent references for this. Do you have old newspaper clippings that talk about Rainbow, that we might be able to get details from? If so, those are perfectly acceptable, even if offline: just make sure you provide the newspaper and date of publication.
I'm particularly interested in replacing refs to iorg.org - for one, they don't work, and for another, they're primary sources, and we're supposed to report what other people say about the subject, thanks to WP:No original research.
Thanks, all!--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure how to contact you, but I have old newspaper clippings of Rainbow Girls and The Order of Eastern Star dating back to 1961-62. You can reach me at m.waalk@yahoo.com  —Preceding unsigned comment added by M.waalk (talk • contribs) 15:51, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

message: ...but it's a Reliable Source. Apparently, as late as the 70s, Supreme Assembly expelled all of Iowa for initiating a mixed-race girl. Anybody have more details on this? http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Hk4NAAAAIBAJ&sjid=T20DAAAAIBAJ&pg=5462,324020&dq=rainbow-girls --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, more details -- in December, most of the other states voted to drop the "unwritten rule", and Iowa was reinstated. http://newspapers.umsystem.edu/default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?BaseHRef=CMN/1977/01/09&EntityId=Ar02002&Skin=Google&ViewMode=GIF --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ref I don't want to add... 

message: I tagged the Famous members section with  because of the people listed in that section only Olympia Snowe and Jill Kinmont are mentioned in the citation.
I was able to verify that Shauna McLean Tompkins is an actress as claimed in the Famous members section and also found a page about her on the IORG web site.  The same page also provided a source for Lynn Lary McLean.
We'll need to find sources for the following or to remove them.  Sandra Day O'Connor, Lee Meriwether, and Luanne Walton. --Marc Kupper|talk 23:44, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Lee Meriwether is a Past Grand Officer out of California, so might be easiest to confirm from there. I'm not sure if Canada's jurisdictional webpage counts as an appropriate source in this instance, but Luanne Walton is now Canada's Supreme Inspector and Supreme Immortality, and has her Rainbow biography posted there. There's a letter in the Supreme Temple in McAlester confirming Sandra Day O'Connor's membership. Sorchauas (talk) 00:50, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Famous members 

message: Regarding:
: "... Kimberly Munley, the woman credited for stopping the Fort Hood shooting rampage"
This is not consistent with 2009 Fort Hood shooting:
: "The Secretary of the Army Award for Valor was awarded to police officers Kimberly Munley and Mark Todd, for the roles they played in stopping the shooter."

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Regarding this edit: the right person sure, useful to this article not so much. What is the perceived benefit of including that link? Nikkimaria (talk) 11:31, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There's information about Sexson on that page that isn't included in this article, and W. Mark Sexson just redirects here. The grave photos are also useful - including them in the article would be undue weight, but they do have some meaning to the members who might come here looking for information about the order. (And it's BRD, not BRRD...) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:15, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: They're not information about the order, though, but rather about the person - if there is a perceived need to have more information about Sexson, perhaps he should have his own article. A link is no less undue than a photo. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:19, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
