I've listed this article for peer review because there have been significant edits, citations, and development of the history, purpose, and programs of the sorority. I believe the edits should qualify this page for a higher rating than a C-Class. Any feedback on what would be necessary to get it to a Featured Article level would also be appreciated.

  • I have been copyediting this article. The article looks B-level at best. For FA status, I think you should take a look at Delta Sigma Theta, a FA article. You need to rid the "Expansion" section, per WP:DIRECTORY, and the section looks listy. Model the history structure, like AKA's, highlighting what the organization did each decade. Find out what controversies the sorority has been in, per having a balanced point of view.
  • Images: I don't think you need File:Summit1.jpg. Per WP:FAIR, minimize the fair use images in the article. I am working on the map (it's fair use) and cleaning up one of the logos. I am working to make File:Deltagemslogo.jpg from .jpg to .svg without the shadows. I am still copyediting this article from "Expansion Programs" to the end. miranda 20:27, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have made a better image for the Delta Woman .svg. I have also replaced the fair use map with a free image of the regions, since that map is obsolete. I noticed that some dates are linked. I think, per DATE, you should not link these. miranda 21:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand this sentence in the May Week section, The slogan "Invest in Education" was adopted and a week is set aside in May for programs highlighting academic and professional achievement. miranda 21:31, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The first traveling library was based in Franklin County, North Carolina, where 25 book baskets, with 35 books were circulated. - I don't understand this sentence, either. miranda 21:42, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
35 books each for one basket? miranda 21:42, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Membership section needs citations. You don't need a space between words and the citation. miranda 22:02, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Therefore, North and South Carolina left the Southern Region to become part of the new South Atlantic Region. - in the Regions section. miranda 22:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Citations 11-12, 14, 37, and 63 need to be properly formatted. miranda 07:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Images: I have listed some images on the talk page which you could ask people to donate to Wikipedia if they would agree to change their license to a free license (CC-BY or CC-BY-SA) if you have a Flickr account. I can help you with this. This is not urgent. I just want to reduce the number of fair use images in this article.
  • Some sections need expansion.
  • A sorority pin would be nice, although I heard that it was "illegal for the sorority" to have the pin on the internet due to copyright reasons.
  • Delta Sigma Theta conventions. miranda 05:03, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
