COS
With all due respect, any Joe Bloggs off the street can create an account that is vaguely Sinfonia-related and claim to be a member of the COS. I know HQ isn't exactly going to be broadcasting an expulsion to the rafters, but when the website itself still says they are active, I have a hard time believing they've been expelled (and there's usually something that gets put out about these things). Any way that you could provide evidence of the expulsion? Primefac (talk) 21:06, 30 January 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't know much about communicating via Wikipedia and whether this is private, and I am not going to give you a copy of any report, as it would violate my NDA. If you want to verify who I am, let me know how I can do that. This literally became effective as of 1/29.

 * It's not really about communication from you, necessarily. Technically speaking, even if I were to verify who you were, someone who isn't a Sinfonian wouldn't know if I was a Sinfonian myself! This is why Wikipedia relies on published sources; there's no hearsay. Legacy still has the chapter listed as active, and until that (or something else) says otherwise, the List needs to match. Generally people aren't coming to Wikipedia for up-to-the-minute information (after all, Wikipedia is not a newspaper), so if an expulsion isn't immediately listed here there's really no long-term harm done. At some point NHQ will flip the bit on the (in)active status and everything will be right with the world. Primefac (talk) 13:49, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hopefully my recent edit clears things up. As a heads up, I don't think the legacy site is going to be updated regularly anymore, so these things will start falling theough the cracks. Sinfolaw (talk) 13:20, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for finding a reference. If Legacy isn't going to be updated, then I really hope NHQ actually improves the main site; there is a disturbingly large amount of information not included on it that can only be found at Legacy. However, that particular topic of conversation isn't really relevant for Wikipedia... Primefac (talk) 13:27, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It's on there, just not publically yet. I think they're developing it more before they open it to the masses. Sinfolaw (talk) 13:45, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
