The refimprove tag was removed without discussion, so I'm reinstating it and starting the discussion here.
Is there any way to find a reference for this society that's not a student newspaper? Are there histories of the College of William and Mary that might provide an independent perspective? How about administration records--something in the depths of Swem Library? Tjarrett ( talk) 14:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm still curious about histories of the school. I know that the UVA histories ( Philip Alexander Bruce and Virginius Dabney) were tremendously helpful to me in compiling the UVA secret society articles.
You're probably right that this society was unfairly singled out. I'll go take a look at the other articles and see what we need to do there. Tjarrett ( talk) 12:47, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
The "official poem of the Seven Society (OCD)" has been added to the page a few times. The source provided for it is a 1945 newspaper article. It has been removed because of the date. Since the date of publication was 1945, the copyright state of the poem is a little in question. Depending on the copyright status of the newspaper, the poem could be in the public domain or it could be copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author.
If the poem is to be included in the article, I'd want some clarification on its copyright status. For more information on the relevant Wikipedia policies, see WP:COPYVIO and WP:PD, and this helpful chart. -- Tjarrett ( talk) 12:50, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Extensive research is currently underway regarding the history of the Seven Society at the College of William and Mary. Edits to this article will continue to be made as more information becomes available. ( Genesis 2:2-3 ( talk) 16:29, 14 September 2008 (UTC))
