 To-do list for Theta Delta Chi: 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 is solid. The template best 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 Charge list and otherwise check the article for necessary updates, annually.
- Update : When calling out specific chapters (charges) in the body text, italicize the name of the charge. Wikipedia practice is that the words "chapter" or "charge" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is. The Controversies section refers to a particular chapter issue, and not a systemic intent for the organization. Hence, even this short sentence is too much detail for a main article, as it unfairly frames the entire national as if the event was systemic; notes about an individual chapter's closure or suspension ought to be rendered as a reference note for that particular chapter unless the event generated notable, persistent national news.
- Wikify : Write articles for the remaining Founders. Expand the more recent paragraphs of the History section. The chapter/charge 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.
