I would would keep the section "other related articles" but I would create a seperate section entitled Prominent Members (or something similar). The related articles should be where Alpha Phi Alpha appears such as Jena Six, Cathy Cox, etc. You might also consider adding some of the topics the World Policy Council has written reports about, namely Extraordinary rendition, AIDS, Millennium Challenge Account, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, et. al.--Ccson 14:40, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggested changes have been added.

The intent of the template is to place it on specific Alpha articles (Alpha Phi Alpha, List of Alpha Phi Alpha brothers, Jewel's pages, etc.) to create an easy accessable web.

My only concern about the Prominent Members section is that it may become very long if we try to include each individual Alpha man's page (much like the African American topics template. If we keep it general (List of Brothers, Alpha Firsts, etc) it should remain compact and okay.

I definately welcome additional comments or criticism about the template.Absolon S. Kent 16:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean to include individual members and I wanted you to use the presidents template instead of the list of 32 names you have listed. I have updated the draft for what i envisioned. Instead of making this an article, I also think you should consider making this a template that can be imbedded into articles.--Ccson 03:05, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the finalized template. The code is {{Alpha Phi Alpha articles}}. I guess we can start to add it to relevant articles. Absolon S. Kent 13:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
