Formation

The formation date for the Don't Make a Wave Committee was October 1969. I have provided two refs for this - the news story on the death of Bob Hunter (verifiable over the internet) and Paul Watson's early memoirs. The information on the Greenpeace page on the foundation date is simply wrong. The Don't Make a Wave Committee was formed a few days after the Milrow test took place - which was Oct 2, 1969. The name Green Peace did not come about until 1970. --Takver (talk) 14:49, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The book "The Greenpeace Story" by Michael Brown & John May states that the committee was founded in 1970. According to the book the group did however plan protest before that, but after the protests were linked to The Sierra Club (which they were members of) in February 1970, The Sierra Club denied these plans and the group founded the Don't Make a Wave Committee. I think this has the same kind of issue as with Greenpeace, it's hard to pin point one exact date of founding and we cannot just judge that some source is right and another is wrong. We have to state that there are differing views on the time of founding.89.27.56.101 (talk) 14:07, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By whom was it founded? Shouldn't that be included in the article? Hoffmansk 09:32, 27 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoffmansk (talk • contribs)
