Ok. You do know that Wikipedia has a three revert rule? so if you keep this up you will fall under the heading of an edit war and then an admin will get involved and you could be subject to being blocked. Please read up on Wikipedia guidelines. I don't like seeing people getting blocked. i know you just want to protect you fraternity. I watch after my own fraternity's page. but you have to allow a fair picture with both negative and positive. the event in question is cited it is notable. Perhaps propose a rewrite that would allow the info to stay in. But if you keep just blatantly reverting with no helpful suggestions besides telling me to go out side (which yes it is a nice day and i am out side on my porch as a matter of fact) then this will descend into an edit war and no one wants to see that. its long pointless discussions and always winds up with a short blurb of an article like what we have and it will include the cited info and you and your IP will be blocked. That's not cool. So maybe you can work with me here?. Add in some additional info make the page better you've been around for what 70 years? surely you have more to say than the war years were tough and in the 90's we got nailed for hazing. Instead of focusing on this negative expand the article add some pics put in some charities or you philanthropy. Do you have notable alum's? if so add them in. What happened during all the other years. But stop with all the pointless revertingTrey (talk) 20:10, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can be as hostile as you want, it won't help anything and i care little what you do to other pages. They will just be reverted and then blocked keeping new users from editing them. So the whole endless IP thing would be kinda mute. Unless you wanted to make hundreds of constructive edits on other pages to then just come and attack some pages that you think i may be fond of. If that's the case... well that would be impressive vendetta holding on your part. But again pointless. I'm not a Greek guy. I've been out of the system forever. I'm not out to grind an ax or cause trouble. i just try and make Wikipedia look good. I agree with you the body in the ally stuff is not needed. The fact that a very bad event happened in the 90's is. Your new version looks ok to me. The prose needs to be cleaned up and their may be some fluff issues but the general content looks great. But your going to have to deal with people editing your work. You don't own the page. You don't own the info. you can fight as long as you want but unless you are on the side of the rules and guidelines you will lose. I know this and so should you. That's just how it is. So don't be hostile or threatening people. I don't care what you do to any page. I find vandalism amusing most times its why i patrol for it. But it makes you look petty and foolish. We all realize this is online hobby stuff, we all have other lives that are way more important. so work on the article expand it. Cooperate. Start a discussion on the talk page of the article to talk about your views and what should and should not be included instead of the constant reverts. You may find other people have some excellent ideas for improving the article. But Do not make personal attacks on me or any other editor. Do not accuse people. especially respected well established editors who make excellent contributions to Wikipedia every day. (And no I'm not talking about myself) No matter what you may think of them or what you may know of them in "real" life. In short don't be that guy. Ok. Trey (talk) 10:56, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
