Chapter and Colony Numbers
Hey since the number of chapters and colonies are constantly changing, I think the references should be changed to the website rather than a 3rd source, since the website should be most up to date. I changed the chapter numbers to reflect current numbers, but I didn't change the references since I'm not very good at that. Also, should the dates when Gamma chapter was recognized and revoked be listed? Epsilon and Zeta chapter dates are missing as well. Jademushroom (talk) 06:57, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Article issue tags
I made what I hope is a minor "softening" of some of the claims in the lead... "1st"... "throughout". With those gone, I don't really see how the article tags are required. I am going to remove them, though I won't do it again if they are restored. I do request that the restoring editor, if any, explain the need here.- Sinneed  22:57, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks much! It still reads accurately. I corrected a minor spelling error. :) Cindy B. (talk) 03:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * For no known reason, I always double the c. Odd really.  Anyway, one other suggestion though very minor... refs outside the punctuation has a real advantage... if the punctuation is separated from the text by the long ref, it is very easy to duplicate or mangle it in the edit window.-  Sinneed  04:26, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the suggestions. :) I've done this. Cindy B. (talk) 16:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Format, MOS
Went through and did some structure work toward wp:MOS, order of sections, subsections instead of manually-bolded text, prose instead of list, minor format. Should be only form changes, with no meaning impact. :) - Sinneed  15:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Feedback on flagging
I've updated this article to have a majority of third party references, but I don't know if I need to remove ALL self-published references (there are 4 of them out of 13). I think the self-published references may be one of the reasons it was flagged. Wikipedia does allow self-published resources, but I'm not sure how strict/flexible that rule is (WP:SPS).

Also, regarding the notability of the article, the organization has been published by several well-known groups in the gay and lesbian community, specifically The Advocate and Lambda 10 Project. Because I would consider these groups notable only in the gay and lesbian community, but not in the general community, I'm confused if this makes the article "notable", which is another reason it may have been flagged.

Looking for feedback on both issues and how to resolve the flagging, since I've never work on an article that was flagged before. Thanks! Cindy B. (talk) 21:59, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The information from the organization's website can be used CAREFULLY under wp:SELFPUB. But it is important that it comment only on itself.  I'll give it a look and see if anything jumps out at me.-  Sinneed  22:17, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Aside from some wp:peacock wording in the lead, I don't really see any problems with the self-published sources. If there are any, perhaps the editor finding them can correct them or explain. :) -  Sinneed  22:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
