Well-written

The drama, the intrigue, I can't lie this was quite entertaining! I did a hefty copyedit (which, by the way, watch out for "would" being used for past tense). Otherwise, I have surprisingly little to say:

Revisit the infobox, namely the "Legal status" and "Purpose" paramaters

Done.

Perhaps link "service fraternity" instead of just "fraternity"

Done.

The name collectively refers to a handful of loosely organizationally tied groups that have existed since the Stewards Society's founding in the 1980s — perhaps: "that have existed since the First Stewards Society", as otherwise, it's a bit self-referential.

Done.

The White Rose was loosely compared to Steward Throat — by who?

Done.

Verifiable with no original research

A variety of reliable local papers are used, student papers are sometimes used as sources, but this is okay per WP:RSSM. No copyvio issues during my spot-check, paraphrasing is used well, and Earwig shows a solid score of 24%, namely to attributed quotes and long titles.

Thanks!!

Consider removing or re-sourcing Higher Ed Dive. It's a publication of Industry Dive, which is already of unknown reliability. However, it's use is quite minor, and relativitely uncontroversial, so I'll leave this as a suggestion

Done.

More of a priority, could you mention the "Society of Stewards" in the body, as it is currently only in the infobox?

Done, that was some damage left by a vandal a long while ago. I suspect it was a Steward (Probably not but I can dream.)

ah, why am I not surprised. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 12:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spot-check

Feinberg, Lawrence (February 28, 1988). "Secret Stewards Disbanded on Georgetown Campus". The Washington Post.
- Can't find the "undertones of conservative religiousness, and.. anti-modern(ism)" quote, but looks good otherwise.

Oops, dropped a source on accident.

Done

- They never explicitely say that the plaque contained the logo, just that the logo could be seen in the corner of their paperwork. Looks good otherwise.

Clarified, added an additional source to fix this.

Broad in its coverage

I don't have much to say here, a look at Google News shows that everything major is in use. I couldn't find anything in Newspapers.com, nor in any books, except for a mention in Facing Georgetown's History. The Hoya has done a lot of coverage, but I'm comfortable with how it's limited to only when necessary. This Esquire article could be a lighthearted add to the "Reception" section, but I wouldn't call it critical.

Done, added a little blurb

Neutral

A touchy subject, but I believe the article does a nice job at attributing the exposés and presenting the responses.

Stable

No recent content disputes or edit wars.

Illustrated

The two keys are symbolic of the society and are your own work. I don't think we could get many more images than that.
