Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest.
Citing sources : This article could use additional sources. These could be from a notable publication or book, a newspaper (historical article about the fire?), a university yearbook, an official university portal listing or where the school comments on the student organization.
Infobox : The infobox is incomplete. 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 check the article for necessary updates, annually.
Update : This is a good page; informative. This to do list only offers suggestions for improvement.
Wikify : For Infobox, Add relevant symbolism to the infobox, and note the number of lifetime members. Clarify whether SAAB is collegiate, community-based, or both. Occasionally, confirm the physical address (it changed last in mid-2020). Expand the History section, and re-write the copy with less of what we call "
peacock" language. You might add a Symbolism section, add recognition colors if you use them, and a list of chapters, or link to it. Are yo a purely "social" organization? Or do you lobby, or serve in an advocacy or service role? A table listing notable members (~those with their own Wikipedia pages) would be useful. Overall, the biggest issue facing this page is that the language still has some "
peacock" or promotional wording, which ought to be corrected.
Suggestion for improvements
Hi, I wanted to add a great deal of information to the
Student African American Brotherhood page. I would add their mission, founder, history, accomplishments, etc. I have found information in a book entitled "African American Men in College" by Michael J. Cuyjet, and I have also found information on the organization's national website. I also plan to use a few news articles to list a few of their accomplishments. Please give me some feedback before I proceed in editing the page. Thank You --
