[edit] English name

Shouldn't the translation for Barisan Nasional be National Lineup rather than National Front --60.50.91.180 (talk) 13:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More info

Can we get more info on the nature of this party...? Is it right/ left/ center? Who controls it? Is it heavy with religious or economic interests?

Barisan Nasional a coalition of mainly ethnic based parties, has formed the government of Malaysia since it was formed in 1974. See http://www.bn.org.my/. -- sabre23t 09:59, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Barisan Nasional as a whole is actually a Conservative party. --60.50.91.180 (talk) 13:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Barisan Nasional

I'm moving this back to Barisan Nasional, the proper name of the party, that's used in Malay and English. The literal translation of the name is national front, though. -- sabre23t 09:59, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

This artical is not NPOV and not encylopedic enough. It seem absurd to talk about an incident about "loyalty issue in a political party" in an encyclopedia entry. What i suggest is,

  1. discuss the role of this political party in its nation, with an sosiological, or historis view.
  2. discuss the policy, implement by this political party.
  3. Its ideology.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bn logo.gif

Image:Bn logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
