Correct procedures to update this article

This article was recently entered on May 5th, 2006. Previous articles about Kappa Alpha Psi in Wikipedia were deleted for reason for copyright violation. I entered the Kappa Alpha Psi article without violating no copyright issues. Brothers of Kappa Alpha had updated the website by adding correct footnotes of information regarding the founder and history of the Kappa cane.

Members of Kappa Alpha Psi are welcome to update this article, but please do not violate any copyright rules of Wikipedia by copying and pasting from other Kappa Alpha Psi websites without footnotes. It must be in your own words and correct information regarding Kappa Alpha Psi. Please do not type anything that is not condoned by the National office and information regarding rituals that is confidental only to Kappa Alpha Psi members are not to be entered.

I am not a member, but I did provide some copyedit and the footnotes so other contributors will know how to cite information. Here are some other observations that I hesitated to copyedit before mentioning it:
  • The first paragraph states something like "only one in existence west of App Mountains". It's important that the contributor mention some of the fraternities which were started and then became defunct, so that this can be verified. The names need not be in the lead paragraph, but a sentence or paragraph in the main article should be devoted to prove this point.
  • The paragraph regarding Kappa Kanes contains a lot of flowery language ond hyperbole, like "the most enduring or endearing". This is an encyclopedia and the text should be a NPOV (neutral point of view). Also, the sentence appears to be somewhat misleading; How can this be an enduring and traditional symbol if it was only recognized in the 19800s?
Also, anyone can update an article on wikipedia. If you want to control the content, it may be on a personal, chapter or national website. Just trying to help Ccson 06:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


A Couple of Suggestions

I'd like to see a list of notable members of Kappa Alpha Psi, such as those on the pages of other NPHC members. I would do it, but it might be more appropriate for a member to do it for verification purposes. Also, I'd also like to see an explanation of the term "Nupe" -- unless that is confidential (in that case, please include a statement to that effect). LAGreen 01:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And what about Phi Nu Pi? Maybe include some information about that.

- "Phi Nu Pi" is secret among brothers in the fraternity. They do not tell their families or friends from other fraternities or sororities what the term means. Bearly541 06:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-That is correct. As I mentioned in "Correct procedures to update this article" we do not include anything that part of the rituals of Kappa Alpha Psi and only confidental with members of Kappa Alpha Psi. Only a true Kappa would never discuss what is Phi Nu Phi or "Nupe". A Tip of the hat to Bearly541 bringing this up. Erayman64

African-American Portal Banner

I deleted the AAPB because it was taking too much space, even though a banner (small) is already placed upon the page. Bearly541 06:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
