Raven Society is part of the Fraternities and Sororities WikiProject, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Greek Life on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to International social societies, local organizations, honor societies, and their members. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, visit the project page, where you can join the project, and/or contribute to the discussion.Fraternities and SororitiesWikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and SororitiesTemplate:WikiProject Fraternities and SororitiesFraternities and Sororities articles

Infobox : The infobox is missing. The template best used for this entry, where you can see all available fields (--these things: "| = text") is the fraternity-specific infobox. This, and other useful items are linked on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
Maintain : Set a calendar reminder to check the article for necessary updates, annually.
Wikify : Add the template infobox to the page. Then, upload and add a crest for the infobox. Then, if you use them for graduation regalia, add color swatches (Honor and Professional groups: clues for these include cords or stoles if colors are not easily determined). Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. Add a physical address and website. Add the number of lifetime members. Expand the History section. A table may also be used to showcase notable members, but to avoid vanity listings be sure to add a list of rules for inclusion, as discussed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Fraternities_and_Sororities/Archive_6#Notable_members_2. As an example, Phi Kappa Theta does a nice job with their notable members list. You can offload this to a separate page if it gets too long.
The Unsourced tag and Expand tag are obvious, the NPOV tag is because there are many claims which do not fit into NPOV, like "most prestigious" and "recognizing the brightest minds". Acidskater (talk) 13:47, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried to source most of the statements in the article and have removed any claim that is not a quotation from an article or a society document. Is this sufficient to remove NPOV? Tjarrett (talk) 20:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nice job. I think this should be expanded in a lot of places. The Raven Award could definitely use more information on how they define "outstanding" as well as any famous recipients or famous members of the society (not sure if there are any, but being over a hundred years old there must be at least a handful of notable recipients/members).

I've now added a partial list of notable recipients of the award. I think other cleanup that needs doing would include:
Poe related activities e.g. sponsorship of the first production of his only play Politian
