Kuklos adelphon
Hello, I'm Bellerophon5685. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

You deleted a perfectly well sourced page with the previous unsourced page, as well as the badly needed stub sort and cats. This does not appear to be constructive editing to me.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 05:41, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Look, I realize that you are editing in good faith, but you keep on deleting sourced material and replacing it with unsourced material, as well as deleting the categories and stubs which are very important to organizing wikipedia.

Here is what we know - John C. Lester, one of the six original members of the Ku Klux Klan, states that the initiation ritual that they came up with was based on a popular college fraternity of the day. You can read his words here. Allen Trealese citing this and an article by one William E. Mockler "Source of 'Ku Klux'" Names Vol. III (March 1957) p.15-17 as the sources of his, admitted speculation, that the rituals were based on Kuklos adelphon. I havn't been able to track down the article to find his reasons for this, though it doesn't take a genius to guess that it could have something to do with the similarity of names, as Ku Klux was a derivative of Kuklos, and another name the founders apparently considered was "Adelphi' (Lester p.55-6). Trealese also states that Kuklos adelphon was known as "old Kappa Alpha", that it was founded in 1812 and spread through the South, had begun to decline in the 1850s and disappeared after the Civil War. Given that Treleases text is considered the definitive scholarly account of the Reconstruction Klan, I think my original paragraph was succinct and unbiased enough to leave as written.

Now, the other items that you have contributed are either unsourced or original research. Yes, I known enough Greek to realize Kuklos adelphon means circle of brothers, one we cannot just add that to wikipedia, as that violates Original research. We need a source for that, as well as for the other names of the group and its detailed history.

I appreciate that you are trying to share information about a subject you are obviously interested about, but if you continue deleting sourced material and inserting unsourced material or original research, I may have to bring up the matter with the admins.

Sincerely, --Bellerophon5685 (talk) 22:11, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
