Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Secret societies at the University of Virginia. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Donner60 (talk) 04:20, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I am striking the original message due to an explanation which appears to show that two consecutive edits were a good faith attempt to remove or clarify an apparently invalid addition to the article. I have removed the section since the recently formed anonymous group (if it is a group) does not appear to be the type of society described in the article. I base this on my reading of the cited source. However, I will not edit the article further if there are competing claims by persons who appear to be more knowledgeable about what is considered a secret society at the university.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
