This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Upsilon Phi Delta article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Upsilon Phi Delta 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
Article requests : This article needs historical text. An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest.
Citing sources : Most fraternity articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. It's not listed in the original Greek Letter Organization reference, Baird's manual (last edition published in 1991), which strangely omitted all societies beginning with the letter Υ, but a notable publication or book such as a university yearbook (please add missing collegiate yearbooks to this source!), or an official university portal (~website) listing for the group, or where the school comments publicly on that student organization - any of these would be helpful.
Infobox : The infobox may be incomplete. The template 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 update the chapter list and otherwise check the article for necessary updates, annually.
Update : When calling out specific chapters in the body text, italicize the name of the chapter. Wikipedia practice is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
Wikify : Confirm that the color swatches are the correct shades (hex codes) of red and blue that you prefer. Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. Expand the History section. The chapter list should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples), or as a separate standalone page when the list is lengthy (subjective, perhaps 30 chapters or more). A chapter list should include dates of chartering. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, or if inactive by using italics. A table will allow room where chapter references may point to portal pages, and allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome.
