[WikiEN-l] Fraternities, sorotities, WP:NOT#SOCIALSPACE

[Steven Walling]

That's unacceptable imo. I'm all for userboxes (within reason), but saying
anyone should (and for new users, it could be misinterpreted as must) add a
sorority or frat userbox to their userpage via article talk space is clearly
a violation of "not a social space" to me. It has the distinct potential to
detract from the central goal, to write a neutral encyclopedia. Not to
mention that such articles shouldn't be lorded over by members and alumuni
anyway.
