[edit] Renaming

I do feel that this article should be titled "Sveriges Arbetares Centralorganisation" and not "Central Organisation of the Workers of Sweden", much in accordance with how the related french once-syndicalist union Confédération Générale du Travail or the spanish syndicalist union Confederación General del Trabajo. In accordance with the latter; I suppose we could add "(Sweden)" at the end, but then we should also put "(France)" at the end of Confédération Générale du Travail, etcetera. If no objections are made, I will contact someone who can move the article once I've actually written it and removed the stub tags. With love, -- Jobjörn 20:43, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

There. Now, what's the naming conventions for non-english organisations/trade unions? As of now, there seems to be a lot of different styles:

etcetera. To me, it seems that the most common style is to keep it in it's original language or translating it directly to English. A standard should be established, or, if one exists, should be applied! I, for one, am in favor of keeping the original language in the title. -- Jobjörn 01:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article needing a second look

OK, so now I've rewritten the entire article. The only thing it is lacking as of now is a section concerning it's History - which I shall write now, or if not that, later this week. However, so far I am the sole editor of this article, and considering that I am a member of the organisation in question it might be sligly POV; even though I've done my best to keep it NPOV. It'd be good if someone looked it through. Furthermore, english is not my own tongue, and this article contains some quite obscure words - it'd be good if someone could look it through checking the language, too. -- Jobjörn 01:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SAC-logo.svg

Image:SAC-logo.svg 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 this Wikipedia article 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 10:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
