Kappa Pi Kappa
editNicolás Macri, I note your status as a current student at Dartmouth. Unless you have direct knowledge that the former Tri-Kap chose to be called "Pi Kap", I find it unlikely. That nickname is used by several other groups nationally, including general fraternities Pi Kappa Alpha and Pi Kappa Phi, in addition to the professional music fraternity, Pi Kappa Lambda. To adopt the same nickname would cause persistent confusion down the road. I wrote to the chapter to inquire, but thought I would remark about it here. Cordially, Jax MN (talk) 06:32, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello! Thank you for this note. I got this from this article and because this is the nickname that has spread around campus most persistently since the name change. Perhaps this article could be cited as a source? Nicolás Macri (talk) 06:34, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Nice catch. The article says the issue is in flux. Yes, it would be reasonable to cite the article you found; if you don't revise this back to Pi-Kap, I will, but we should note in the new text that the nickname is fluid. Both Pike (Pi Kappa Alpha's normal nickname) and Pi Kappa Phi are big nationals that are well-known and could very well colonize at Dartmouth. I also hoped to hear from the chapter, though they may not have further comment beyond what is in the news article. I wrote to them this evening. Nicknames often coalesce over time, and the matter should be more clear by next Fall. Jax MN (talk) 06:45, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- That is a good point! I am less familiar with adding citations in Wikipedia, so if you want to add back the nickname with the citation and comment about the tentative nature of the nickname, that would be great! Thank you for checking this out. Nicolás Macri (talk) 06:48, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

December 2022
edit
Hello, I'm EchidnaLives. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Texas A&M University College of Geosciences because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. echidnaLives - talk - edits 05:09, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, @EchidnaLives, I noticed that you completely reverted my edit describing how the College of Geosciences has merged into a new College instead of just removing one external link? The external link to GERG was already in the article; I simply made it a hyperlink instead of a pasted URL as it currently is thanks to you reverting my edit, and I added an external link to the successor of the College of Geosciences, which is the College of Arts & Sciences, since no Wikipedia page has been created yet for the College of Arts & Sciences. I think my edit should be restored unless I am misunderstanding something. Thanks! Nicolás Macri (talk) 05:13, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @Nicolás Macri. Apologies for reverting the whole edit, that's just how the recent changes patrol software I use called Huggle works. You can look at this page which is a copy of the page before I reverted it. You can copy the text from that and just remove the link. Thanks, echidnaLives - talk - edits 05:19, 16 December 2022 (UTC).
- Hi, @EchidnaLives, I am not clear on which external links should be removed since the GERG link was already in the article (I did not add it but merely reformatted it) and since the website of the College of Arts & Sciences should be included in my opinion since it is the official site of the successor to the College of Geosciences. I can put the rest back once I understand what to do about the external links. Thanks! Nicolás Macri (talk) 05:22, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

- Hi, thank you for letting me know! I’m sorry about that error. Is any of that material something that an article can quote with a citation, or would quoting that much material be not allowed? Thank you for the clarification! Nicolás Macri (talk) 17:39, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
