Restoring the article to its status before the disputed content was raised is not vandalism or unconstructive. Misplaced Pages rules allow for the unwanted change to be reverted and then a disussion should take place on the article's talk page. The article should remain in this state until a consensus has been reached by the editors. I believe the discussion is on-going on the NPHC talk page, so it should not have been reverted by you or Narahat (or something similar). Thank You.--] 03:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I understand entirely that the recent set of edits that have gone back and forth are rehashing old ground on the article, but please ]. To me it's a real stretch to call the edit you reverted ''vandalism'' as it's clear that the editor is trying to improve the article as he sees it. -- ] 14:28, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, dude, take it easy with the reverts. It would seem to me that the consensus on the talk page, after I *did* read it, was that mascot is a POV term, not symbol. Why include it in the article when it is clearly not necessary and there is no consensus for it, and ] does not have one single mention of the term "mascot". Don't revert people just because you disagree with what they changed, and don't assume they haven't read the talk page. You just make yourself look like a jerk. ] (]) 23:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
:It's '''because''' there is no consensus that both terms belong. Mascot is POV to some and symbol is POV to others. Had you read the talk page you'd see that, and wouldn't be injecting your POV and rehashing an old argument. ] (]) 05:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to say hello, I'm new to Misplaced Pages and you've made a couple of comments to me. I wanted to say, I have no issue with anyone changing the page obviously anyone can edit, but as a proud member of the organization I would like the information to be correct as I'm sure you would with your organization. Yes, some of the books are reliable sources and some are not. ] does not publish everything for the public, some items are for the public only and some are for members only, which clearly states in our by-laws that we cannot share with the public. A couple of the items stuck out to me, because only a member would know them which is why I asked the editor if she was a member. No harm, no foul.

Being sarcastic about somebody (''Surprise, surprise....if Miranda doesn't like someone making a change, then it must be disruptive.'') and then, in the same paragraph, asking them to be civil seems to me to be contradictory. If you wish people to be civil to you, please help them do this by being civil yourself.

:::I disagree that this is not a fair AfD. These articles have been up for months with no real contributions. I'll consider withdrawal if consensus is unable to be reached in a few days, but as it looks right now, I think it'll go to a merge into the sorority article, or will be merged into their own article altogether. Either one of those I'll support, but at this time I have not yet been convinced that I need to change. I have no intention of giving into threats and bullying from other users (not you, but the person who is most adamant against this and is disrupting the AfD discussion with attacks on me) ] 02:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
::I'd recommend adding all the material you can find into an article on the foundation of the sorority and then when this is ready, re-listing individual articles that have no notability past being a founder. However, ones like ] and ] are much more notable than ones like ] and ], so putting them all together seemed unwise. ] (]) 02:29, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
:Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know all of them ''might'' be deleted, but with such varying degrees of notability I think it would be best to do them individually. When you re-list them this will be their first individual AfD, so I'd just put first nomination. ] (]) 02:48, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
