 To-do list for Omega Phi Beta: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2021-11-30

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest.
- Citing sources : Most fraternity articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. These could be from the original Greek Letter Organization reference, Baird's manual (last edition published in 1991), or the online Baird's Manual Archive, or 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.
- Cleanup : Examples and templates are available on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
- Infobox : The infobox mostly done. 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 : If calling out specific chapters in the body text, italicize the name of the chapter. Wikipedia practice within the F&S Project is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
- Verify : The national website lists a Radio City Station mailing address, while the former version of this page (and the Baird's archive) notes this being at Grand Central Station, with a different PO Box number. Confirm which is correct.
- Wikify : Add relevant, public symbolism to the infobox. List the group's print publication in the infobox, italicized. Confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and occasionally the website address. Add or confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Expand the History section to include milestones. Create a chapter list in 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. A table may also be used to showcase notable members, but be sure to add Inclusion Rules to avoid vanity listings. Phi Kappa Theta does a nice job with their notable members list.
