Suggested article to edit edit

I don't want to edit the list of suggested articles to edit directly, but you guys might consider adding Students for Britain. I don't know whether the group is notable, but hopefully you're in a good position to determine that. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:26, 6 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Aren't they one of the many astroturf eurosceptic groups set up by the TaxAvoiders Alliance people? Number 57 09:02, 6 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Possibly, Number 57. I only became aware of the article because of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Jonadabsmith/Archive. That editor seemed to be engaged in some internecine warfare between the various Brexit factions, being involved in a rival student anti-EU campaign.

Some other, topical, suggestions: European Refugee Fund and Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:41, 6 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Google Trends on the EU Referendum list the following search terms as being the most prevalent

  • What is 'Brexit'?
  • When is the EU Referendum?
  • Who can vote in the EU Referendum?
  • How can I vote in the EU Referendum?
