I am an associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art and have been asked to correct, update and expand the Wikipedia page about the Society. AmandaJBates (talk) 23:41, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Specific text to be added or removed: Remove "The Society of Graphic Art (renamed Society of Graphic Fine Art in 1986) is a British arts organisation established in 1919." and replace with "The Society of Graphic Fine Art (SGFA) is a British association of artists. It is the only British art society that is dedicated exclusively to drawing in all of its forms."
Reason for the change: Change emphasis from old name to new name, and identification of SGFA's speciality.
We cannot say " It is the only British art society that is dedicated exclusively to drawing in all of its forms." without a reliable independent source. Theroadislong (talk) 11:55, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Specific text to be added or removed: Please change both occurences of "1986" to "1988", being the date that the Society changed its name to the one it currently uses.
Done The provided reference here in the request states " In 1988, following a ballot, members decide on a name revision. It is now known as the Society of Graphic Fine Art." Because this reference is not officially connected to the Society, it leaves a lot to be desired. On the other hand, the official source does state "their first exhibit in 1921.... and then concludes with ...the word “Fine” was incorporated into the Society’s name some 65 years later. That would date it as 1986. However, because the official source states "some 65 years later" the word "some" incorporates a bit of wiggle room into the dating. That, coupled with the fact that this discrepancy is only 2 years, any damage done by this date being incorrect is, one hopes, negligible. Regards, Spintendo10:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
