You people posted the entirety of the confraternaty constitution? Seriously? Is this supposed to be a propaganda piece or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.113.8.138 (talk) 20:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A propaganda piece?! No, quite the opposite. Did you read the context it was posted in at all?? The constitution was posted because this particular confraternity "Neo Black Movement" is in fact the political wing of a very secretive campus cult. They hate having any information about their "great movement" out in public. Yet they claim to be a charity of sorts, and they insist on NOT being a secret society. Would UNICEF have a problem with their constitution being published? No. The confrats, however, keep undoing all edits that include actual information (and not propaganda) about them. I believe that their constitution is relevant in order to understand how organised this group really is and how it functions. The same is true for the list of "Temples" (=universities). This is particularly relevant with regard to NBM's public claims that they have totally withdrawn from the universities. They claim that they have nothing to do with any campus cult. But this list of "Temples" from 2013 proves the opposite (no, it is neither made up by me nor "edited" as they invariably say. It comes from the NBM forum). You will see that user Yoweri7 (a member of this confraternity) will undo it again as soon as it is noticed. That speaks for itself! Assopre (talk) 01:20, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But it is against Wikipedia guidelines to include the entire source document. You should just use it as a reference on whatever statements in the article you think it backs up. Bryan Henderson (talk) 02:39, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
