Some proposed changes

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]

Done the name change and the purpose; not done the claim to exclusivity for the reason stated above. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:11, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
