The contents of the Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts page were merged into Royal Society of Arts on 2022-11-06. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
For references, it would be nice to have a list of chairs included. I merly know one fellow, and so cannot provide a list, just a start-up.

As far as I can see, the RSA never calls itself "Royal Society of Arts" now, but always uses "Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce" or "RSA". Shouldn't we use the proper name for the article? Rwendland 10:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I've tagged the article First Exhibition (1756) with a suggestion that it be merged into this article. See also the talk page of that article. Comments welcome. Deor ( talk) 04:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
"The Society states that, 'Fellows attach the letters FRSA after their name'. This was not, however, always the case. According to Sutherland Lyall, 'the Royal Society of Arts used to ask you not to use [the suffix FRSA] because anybody who pays the modest fee becomes a Fellow'.".
That was certainly the understanding when I became a Fellow in the late 1980s - and in my view it should still be the case. The RSA is a splendid institution (and a very good place for lunch); but I think that academics, especially, should be very careful about using post-nominals that look like some kind of academic qualification when they are not.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Strong case, strong consensus. Andrewa ( talk) 12:53, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce → Royal Society of Arts – "Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce" is the official name, but by far the common name that is still used is "Royal Society of Arts". The organization itself brands itself as "the RSA" and it's a little tricky to find the use of the long, official name on the website. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:33, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Someone changed the RSA link from ' RSA_encryption' to Royal_Society_of_Arts.
According to the statistics (before the change) 'RSA_encryption' is a far more popular subject then Royal_Society_of_Arts.
So I would say that RSA should be redirected (back) to 'RSA_encryption' (and not Royal_Society_of_Arts). Or redirect to: RSA (disambiguation) — Preceding unsigned comment added by FlippyFlink ( talk • contribs) 15:38, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Suggest renaming the page to 'The RSA' because that is the way the organisation is commonly referred to in the media:

Apparently, the definition given ("[...] organisation committed to finding practical solutions to social challenges") comes from the website. I can't find it however there, so was the nature of the RSA changed?
The underlying problem is that Wikipedia should never rely on a subject to give its own fundamental definition. - 91.10.13.42 ( talk) 21:58, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
I see that RINA is listed under "see also". Other than the two Institutes being based a few streets away from each other in London, I can't see any connection between them. Does anyone know what might be missing here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.184.64 ( talk) 12:37, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
