:The biggest issue I would see for this article is the list of notable alumni. If you look at some of the pages regarding freemasonry, and its appendant/concordant bodies, we have tried to limit those lists to only a very few, specifically looking at those who are notable because of their membership, or their activities which relate to their membership in the group.--] (]) 18:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I've remove the article from ] because it is more of a list than an article. If you want to, you can nominate it at ].
:I disagree with this.
# The article was nominated in good faith.
# It has been in the queue for a long time
# It does not obviously ].
# In light of that, it should remain on queue until such time that an editor can evaluate the article fully in connection with the ] and render a decision in accordance with those criteria.
Simply removing an article from the nomination queue for a reason that has not been established as a quick-fail criterion is irregular, which has a knock on effect on the trustworthiness of the Good Article nomination and evaluation process. I've made further remarks ]. ] has opened a ] page as well. Please join the discussion there. Thank you. ] (]) 17:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
=== GA Review of Sphinx Head ===
Following the discussion on the ], there is general agreement that a misunderstanding has taken place, that articles should depart from the nomination queue only after an evaluation has taken place and has been published on a subpage. I am undertaking that review now. Accordingly, I am taking the extraordinary steps of reverting ]'s edits to restore the {{tl|GA nominee}} template and establish a review page, which will be transcluded to this section here. Apologies to the editors awaiting an evaluation for so long now. Thank you for your patience. ] (]) 15:33, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


What's this group's connection to the Dartmouth College society with a similiar name? I suggest breaking the link between the two entires, unless someone knows something unreported in either entry. ] (]) 14:30, 26 March 2009 (UTC)SLY111

To-do list for Sphinx Head: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2021-02-09


Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
  • Citing sources : Most fraternity or society articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. These could be from a notable publication or book, a university yearbook, an official university portal listing or where the school comments on the student organization.
  • Cleanup : Examples and templates are available on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
  • Infobox : The infobox is missing. 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.
  • Wikify : Add the template infobox to the page. Then, add the crest to the infobox. Then, add color swatches if you use them. (Honor and Professional groups: clues for these include cords or stoles if colors are not easily determined). Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. Add a physical address and website. Add the number of lifetime members. Expand the History section. The list of notable members should be placed into a table format, columns for notes and references.
