Founding members

[edit]

What is the criteria for being a founding member? The AHS was officially founded when the constitution was ratified at the EGM in November 2008. Are the attendees of that EGM not technically the founders? --User:Jenzo:Jenzo

Republic of Ireland

[edit]

The article mentions Ireland, but doesn't seem to have references for Irish groups - on the face of it, this seems to be a UK-based organisation. Autarch (talk) 02:33, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me, so I've removed the {{notability}} tag. -- Trevj (talk) 09:58, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Date formatting for references

[edit]

I have reverted the date format for references to YYYY-MM-DD. I feel this is appropriate per WP:CITEVAR. I also seek consensus that this format is appropriate for dates in the references in this article. I support the use of full text dmy dates in the text of the article. - - MrBill3 (talk) 15:28, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This Diff is the first use of dates in references, note the format for all dates in references is YYYY-MM-DD. In addition to WP:CITEVAR see MOS:DATEFORMAT and WP:STRONGNAT re appropriateness of YYYY-MM-DD format in reference lists including in articles with strong national ties. - - MrBill3 (talk) 22:06, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming to 'Humanist Students'

[edit]

I heard that the organisation has recently been going through changes to become a section of Humanists UK, with unified branding and structure.

https://ahsstudents.org.uk now redirects to https://humanism.org.uk/students/

The twitter account here https://twitter.com/ahsstudents?lang=en is now empty and points to a new twitter account here: https://twitter.com/HumanistStudent?lang=en

Would be worth reworking the article to reflect this.
