If not, how is this any of our business? They are a private organization and entitled to behave as they wish.

Foreign Country no. But ideally things like an establishment should reflect secondary sources, not primary. To pick a more well known situation, Kappa Sigma is categorized as [[Category:Student Organization established in 1869]], *not* [[Category:Student organization established in 1400]].
The best comparison that I can make is if "Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities" instead of organizing by type of fraternity and type organized by date of founding, should Delphic Fraternity be listed in order by 1871 or by 1987.
As a result of the discussion here, I've changed my issue to a much more minor one. Now, I just want better documentation of continuity for the 1871 date, not that I'm doubting it...
