Just a couple of quick questions:

1. What's wrong with using terms like "Ultramontanist" and "falangist" to describe the party's ideology? Under Duplessis, they were a Catholic far-right party with contempt for the democratic process and friends in Hitler and Mussolini's governments.

2. Why is the party not referred to as "National Union" in English? A 1960 campaign advertisment intended for Anglophones referred to the party by this name, which to me is strong enough evidence that it was the party's official English name.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Unionnationalelogo.png

Image:Unionnationalelogo.png 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 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.

[edit] Jan 21 2008 clean up

  • I have adjusted the capitalization of headings to conform with WP:HEAD;
  • I have removed links to date fragments per WP:DATE;
  • I have improved piped links to reflect Wikipedia:piped link:
Keep piped links as intuitive as possible. Do not use piped links to create "easter egg links", that require the reader to follow them before understanding what's going on. Also remember there are people who print the articles. For example, do not write this:
...and by mid-century the puns and sexual humor were (with only a few exceptions) back in to stay.
The readers will not see the hidden reference to Thomas Bowdler unless they click or hover over the piped exceptions link — in a print version, there is no link to select, and the reference is lost. Instead, reference the article explicitly:
...and by mid-century the puns and sexual humor were (with only a few exceptions; see Thomas Bowdler) back in to stay.
Similarly:
"After an earlier disaster (see Bombay Explosion (1944))", not "After an earlier disaster..."
