I made a redirect from Phi Kappaa Sigma, but I have no idea how to change the actual article title. Acidskater 18:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Most of this article is a direct copy from the Membership Manual of Phi Kappa Sigma, and as a result is copyrighted material and should be removed. I'd like a discussion on this before I go rashly deleting stuff, I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, that's just my opinion. Cliffhanger407 06:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC) AN 2010

I believe that it has happened before to this article. The page was blanked and supposedly was given a complete re write. Apparently thats not the case. Samwisep86 07:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I remade the page and did as much as I possibly could with the information(Im a Sigma Chi) at hand. From what I remember the only thing that was direct copy was the public motto, but not their descriptions, those were paraphrased as best I could. I haven't been checking up on the page much and I am almost sure the History can be cut down and most of it sounds like it was copied. Acidskater 07:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I can confirm that most of the information here is block-copied from Skull Sessions, though I don't have my copy on hand so I can't provide specific examples. Cumulus Clouds 22:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I blanked the page before, and although this version is a lot better it is still a copyvio. Hint: adding references to sources still doesn't make it ok for your article to be word-for-word copies of other writing. I'll come back later and either (sigh) fix it myself, or take the easy way and slap a copyvio on the page, which by policy we really ought to be doing immediately. 66.216.172.3 16:58, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I went in and corrected most of the long sentences that were direct copies of the sources, paraphrasing them, and in some cases adding information to correct them, from the same sources.

Is there a template out there as an example of the information fraternal organizations should display? I looked but couldn't find anything conclusive. Much more could be added here, but I want it to be consistent with the category. Famous Members and a Chapter List would be informative sub-pages. Carolinajak 03:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
