Capitalizing "association"[edit]

@Scotliterary: MOS:INSTITUTIONS says "Generic words for institutions, organizations, companies, etc., and rough descriptions of them (university, college, hospital, high school) do not take capitals" ... "The university offers programs in arts and sciences." This would also apply to "association". Please restore my change. Chris the speller ^yack 04:38, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it just looks wrong to me! I've changed capital-A "Association" to lower-case-o "organisation", which is hopefully an acceptable compromise. Scotliterary (talk) 13:27, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to compromise; you can simply follow Wikipedia's style, which is that "capitalization is primarily needed for proper names, acronyms, or for the first word of a sentence", but you can have this one your way. Happy editing! Chris the speller ^yack 03:00, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

I'm a little puzzled by this one - are they the "Association for Scottish Literary Studies" or the "Association for Scottish Literature", ASLS or ASL?

The website is at asls.org.uk, but the content on it uses ASL. Their various social media things use ASL fairly consistently. Their charity registration is at ASLS - the Assoc[iation] for Scottish Literary Studies (link) - but gives the contact address as "ASL".

My best guess here is that at some point in recent years they changed their name (or just the branding?) from ASLS to the shorter ASL? Either way we should probably mention the shorter form in the article text somewhere. Andrew Gray (talk) 18:12, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
