This seems like a fun one, comments should be done by the end of the day. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 12:19, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

=Well-written=
The drama, the intrigue, I can't lie this was quite entertaining! I did a hefty copyedit (which, by the way, watch out for "would" being used for past tense). Otherwise, I have surprisingly little to say:
- Revisit the infobox, namely the "Legal status" and "Purpose" paramaters
:{{Done}}.
- Perhaps link "service fraternity" instead of just "fraternity"
:{{Done}}.
- {{tq|The name collectively refers to a handful of loosely organizationally tied groups that have existed since the Stewards Society's founding in the 1980s}} — perhaps: "that have existed since the First Stewards Society", as otherwise, it's a bit self-referential.
:{{Done}}.
- {{tq|The White Rose was loosely compared to Steward Throat}} — by who?
:{{Done}}.
=Verifiable with no original research=
A variety of reliable local papers are used, student papers are sometimes used as sources, but this is okay per WP:RSSM. No copyvio issues during my spot-check, paraphrasing is used well, and Earwig shows a solid score of 24%, namely to attributed quotes and long titles.
:Thanks!!
- Consider removing or re-sourcing Higher Ed Dive. It's a publication of Industry Dive, which is already of unknown reliability. However, it's use is quite minor, and relativitely uncontroversial, so I'll leave this as a suggestion
:{{Done}}.
- More of a priority, could you mention the "Society of Stewards" in the body, as it is currently only in the infobox?
:{{Done}}, that was some damage left by a vandal a long while ago. I suspect it was a Steward (Probably not but I can dream.)
::ah, why am I not surprised. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 12:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
==Spot-check==

- Can't find the "undertones of conservative religiousness, and.. anti-modern(ism)" quote, but looks good otherwise.

- They never explicitely say that the plaque contained the logo, just that the logo could be seen in the corner of their paperwork. Looks good otherwise.

=Broad in its coverage=
I don't have much to say here, [https://news.google.com/search?q=%22Stewards%20Society%22&hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen a look at Google News] shows that everything major is in use. I couldn't find anything in Newspapers.com, [https://archive.org/search?query=%22Stewards+Society%22&sin=TXT&and%5B%5D=year%3A%5B1982+TO+2012%5D nor] [https://www.google.ca/search?q=%22Stewards+Society%22&sca_esv=41aa461167895434&tbs=cdr:1,cd_min:Jan+1_2+1982,cd_max:Mar+31_2+2024&tbm=bks&sxsrf=ACQVn09zxspM0MPng8fu5jUbJXjBhm75Yg:1711856975834&ei=T90IZqPFMtraptQP8Y-c-AM&start=0&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwjjqM2XzJ2FAxVarYkEHfEHBz84FBDy0wN6BAgOEAQ&biw=1366&bih=645&dpr=1 in any books], except for a mention in Facing Georgetown's History. The Hoya has done a lot of coverage, but I'm comfortable with how it's limited to only when necessary. [https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/how-to/a20696/keep-your-society-secret/ This Esquire article] could be a lighthearted add to the "Reception" section, but I wouldn't call it critical.
:{{Done}}, added a little blurb
=Neutral=
A touchy subject, but I believe the article does a nice job at attributing the exposés and presenting the responses.
=Stable=
No recent content disputes or edit wars.
=Illustrated=
The two keys are symbolic of the society and are your own work. I don't think we could get many more images than that.
=Summary=
