I am surprised that this page has at least one/few grammar mistakes, though I who (only went to 1st year in the UK and visit every few years, and) made the US society's page, do not think I made as many mistakes. Perhaps in the last statement I took 'passive voice too far and did an 'implied "I"', but this articles page may make 1 - 3 comma splices and use unconventional grammar--like dashes instead of hyphens (and using spaces beside them is less accepted.) This is just to let you know about that and say (the following.)

If you want to improve this article as I imply (or explain I may be wrong:) such as by combining the articles and then combining every single international 'Vegan Society' or one that uses the logo, then please do so. So far I used this article as a template, but some info is only relevant to each society. I do think one large article with introductory Philosophical focus/definition and sections for each would be excellent; I just study (in college and Wikis) too much to do that now....

A later comment: hehe, okay, the dashes' spaces thing is either because En.Wikipedia is American-made, or maybe the spaces are not so large--but what do you think of that and forced use of new 'one space after period' formatting? If your html reader forces ':)' to be smiley in discussion/forums, then that is also a problem--Dchmelik (talk) 04:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why are random phrases in this article bolded? It looks like childish emphasis. Really, only the article subject and variations thereof should be bolded. 76.119.140.100 (talk) 23:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Founding date

The Vegan Society states: "It is interesting to note that although the founding of The Vegan Society is celebrated each year by The Vegan Society on the 1st of November, the actual date when the society was founded is not known. The first quarterly magazine of the new society was dated the 24th of November, and it was the single-handed production of Donald Watson, who was at that time a teacher of woodwork. It seems likely that the founding meeting took place on either the 5th of the 12th of November. Given the very labour intensive process to produce the first issue of Vegan News […] it seems probable that The Vegan Society was founded on the 5th of November 1944."

I will therefore replace "on 1 November 1944" by "in November 1944". -- IvanP (talk) 16:08, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
