Preston Muslim Society and English grammar

I think there are some points where you have misunderstood me. This is probably my fault for not explaining clearly enough.

You only put the name of the society in bold at the start of an article about the society. You do not put it in bold in an article about Jamea Masjid.

Whether you should write "the" in front of "Preston Muslim Society" depends on many things. In the sentence "Preston Muslim Society was formed in 1962", my belief is that there should be no "the" at the start because "Preston Muslim Society" is a proper name, and is the subject of the sentence. If the name of the society were not "Preston Muslim Society", you would write "the Preston Muslim society was formed in 1962".--Toddy1 (talk) 17:17, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

I see where you're coming from. BUT it would mean changing the whole sentence.

'The Preston Muslim Society which serves the needs of the Muslim community, was formed in 1962'.

You would not be able to say; Preston Muslim Society which serves - WHICH being the operative word - that's how you edited it to be. Further along the sentence itself too. It would need restructuring.--George Howarth (talk) 17:33, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

No, I wrote:

Preston Muslim Society, which serves the needs of the Muslim community, was formed in 1962.

The comma before "which" is vital to it being correct English grammar.--Toddy1 (talk) 17:55, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Sincere apologies, I didn't see that bit - as that's exactly what I meant - it would have needed a comma. I was more-so bothered in bringing back the bold which you had removed. However, I shall re-instate what you initially wrote. Apologies once again.George Howarth (talk) 19:31, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
