  • By 1928, Sigma Iota had lost many of its chapters and therefore sought to stabilize its operations by consolidating its chapters in the United States with a more stationary and well-rooted organization.[citation needed] better wording - repetition of its is bad
  • No hyphen: Pan-Americanism

Post-Analysis

edit

I have failed this article, due to 1.) The article being on hold for almost a month, and 2.) lack of submitter addressing the issues during that timespan. One of the twenty-three issues were addressed, in summary. miranda 00:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
