John, recent changes to the TDX article
Thanks for the updates to the TDX list of charges. I'm one of the editors who monitor all GLO pages and their subsidiary pages. Obviously you are connected to TDX somehow, but there are no problems with the updates you have provided. If you have a need to clarify language or write about a sensitive subject, ping one of us and we will do it for you, to avoid complaints over any perceived conflict of interest.

We had previously used the DTS template ( 1847-10-31 ) to express all dates. After a year of adding them like you did, we discovered that this was an unnecessary step: The DTS template need only be used in the first incidence of a date in a sortable table column. It is irrelevant for expressing the other dates.

Second, I see Cornell and Stanford are suspended. Are these social suspensions, where your building is still occupied by members? Or longer suspensions that will require an eventual recolonization, and which may have led to a house vacancy? The reason I ask is that I'd like to put dates or an EFN (extended footnote, not needing a citation link) on these lines. One of these is italicized which indicates inactivity, and the other is bold, which indicates it is active... Jax MN (talk) 18:57, 30 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note; yes, I am an employee of the governing body. Thanks for the offer regarding the conflict of interest and information on the template.
 * Both of those cases are longer-term suspensions, but their charters are active. Bold would be appropriate for both. As for the additional date or EFN, Cornell will be on suspension until fall 2026. Stanford is on suspension until the conclusion of a lawsuit.
 * Let me know if the additional information covers what is needed. John TDX (talk) 20:38, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
