Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). some [citation needed] added. All dates, statistics like %, number of chapters need references.
2c. it contains no original research. [original research?] added
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. Membership pins are up for deletion.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
7. Overall assessment. Due to the sheer amount of unreferenced statistics, I am failing this article.

  • All of the following quotations are areas of the article lacking citations:
  • "After some initial planning, he consulted band president A. Frank Martin and Bohumil Makovsky, director of bands, both of whom agreed to help with the creation of the fraternity."
  • "were installed during the Great Depression, and World War II put a further damper on all fraternal activities."
  • "the 1943 and 1945 national conventions were canceled."
  • "Mu Upsilon Alpha became a chapter of Mu Beta Psi."
  • "new chapters have been installed across the country in the twenty-first century."
  • "Nothing came of these early plans, however, and the idea of a national intercollegiate band was not revisited until the 1940s."
  • "The concerts held by this intercollegiate band were sponsored by the local chapters of Kappa Kappa Psi and many members of the fraternity were involved with the ensemble, including F. Lee Bowling, who served as the band's manager."
  • "Today, participation in the National Intercollegiate Band is open to any college band member who auditions—membership in Kappa Kappa Psi or Tau Beta Sigma is not required."
  • "Unlike other Greek organizations, however, purchase of the badge is optional for members of Kappa Kappa Psi."
  • "If a member chooses not to purchase the crown pearl badge, he or she wears the Membership Recognition Pin, a small gold pin in the shape of the fraternity crest, in place of the badge."
  • "Prospective members may wear a lapel pin that has a musical staff and bass clef of silver on a background of blue enamel. The notes A, E, and A are placed on the staff in silver, representing the Greek phrase "Alpha Epsilon Alpha." This is the only piece of regalia that prospective members are allowed to wear—all other jewelry is restricted to initiated members, and even the crest and letters (usually worn in the form of "blocks") are restricted unless there is a clear indication that the wearer is a prospective member or colony member."
  • "The top half of the flag is a white field on which the Greek letters "Kappa Kappa Psi" are inscribed in an arc. On the bottom half of the flag, three alternating stars of white, blue, and white appear on a blue field, with the top point of the bottom white star extending into the white field above it."
  • "Blue and white are the fraternity's official colors."
  • "A member of a college or university band who has completed one term in such a band may be offered membership in Kappa Kappa Psi. First-term freshmen may only join the fraternity if an exception is made by that chapter's sponsor or director of bands. Certain chapters may establish stricter guidelines for membership, including GPA restrictions or participation in a band for all terms as an active member."
  • I could not location much else additional issues, though I do not like how the references look. From all of the online sources, their URL’s are exposed, and it appears none of the references are in a template formation, like cite web.--12george1 (talk) 23:11, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I will begin tracking down sources for all of the above comments; those should be cited by tomorrow. Currently, the article is cited using Chicago style citatons, which includes exposed URLs. Should I just change them all over to the Cite templates? LazySofa (talk) 23:31, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
  • All of the above citation issues should be fixed. Citations were either added or clarified where the material was cited in an unclear manner. Some citations appear at the end of a paragraph or following a couple of sentences where the paragraph/sentences are from the same source to prevent citation saturation. Passages that I couldn't locate adequate sources for were removed. Additionally, a new section on Stillwater Station was added due to its mention in the lede and per suggestion from the article's ongoing peer review, and a section on local activities has been added to expand on citations that had appeared originally in the lede.

Images

At least on my browser, some of the image placement throughout this article makes it appear a bit messy, specifically within the "Jewelry and symbols" section. Is it possible to clean this up a bit? --Another Believer (Talk) 21:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I've tried to address this. Does it look better now? Sycamore (talk) 23:26, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
This section does look a bit better. Thanks for addressing this request. --Another Believer (Talk) 00:09, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

The image locations seem to break a few of the guidelines at MOS:IMAGELOCATION:

  1. Having images sandwiching text ("Membership pins" section)
  2. Having images at the beginning of a section on the left ("Founding and expansion", "National Intercollegiate Band", "Membership pins", and "Flag" sections)

I don't really want to mess with it, especially on the day it's on the main page... CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 04:02, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
