Crédit social uni

This statement about the Parti crédit social uni is erroneous as far as I can tell :

Social crediters who did not follow Samson into the Liberal Party may have joined the Parti credit social uni, which was formed in 1981 by a merger of the Parti nationale populaire (PNP) and the Ralliement créditiste du Québec [1]. The PNP was the result of a split in the RCQ in 1975.

(Note : Replaced footnote with direct link to the web page as archived by web.archive.org, since it is no longer available directly.)

The source actually specifies that : "Both parties disappeared at the beginning of the 80s and were replaced by the em>Parti crédit social uni (United Social Credit), founded in 1979."

Given the general context, the author presumably meant that the PCSU was a new party based on the social credit ideology, without trying to imply any official link between the PCSU and the Ralliement créditiste.

According to this book : Bernard, André. Québec : élections 1981 (in French). Montreal: Hurtubise HMH. pp. p. 158. ISBN 2890455009. {{cite book}}: |pages= has extra text (help), the RCQ and the PNP were dissolved, and no mention is made of them merging to form the Parti crédit social uni/United Social Credit.

An article from the Globe and Mail also fails to mention such a thing : Canadian Press (October 20, 1979). "Party leader seeks election in Quebec vote". The Globe and Mail. p. P-2. That article does mention however that the PCSU was a provincial wing of the federal Social Credit Party of Canada.

I have changed the article accordingly. — ABCXYZ (talk) 20:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

I disagree with the move of this article to an English translation of the party name. Please see Talk:Rally_for_National_Independence. Ground Zero | t 18:38, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

While editors may be anxous to move this article to an Enlgish language form of the name, please note that it is incorrect to do so:

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions says

Use the most easily recognized name: Generally, article naming should prefer what the greatest number of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature.... Wikipedia determines the recognizability of a name by seeing what verifiable reliable sources in English call the subject.

Use common names of persons and things: Convention: Except where other accepted Wikipedia naming conventions give a different indication, use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things; use the naming conflict guideline when there is a conflict. Where articles have descriptive names, the given name must be neutrally worded and must not carry POV implications.

Use English words: Convention: Name your pages in English and place the native transliteration on the first line of the article, unless the native form is more commonly recognized by readers than the English form. The choice between anglicized and native spellings should follow English usage (e.g., Besançon, Søren Kierkegaard and Göttingen, but Nuremberg, delicatessen, and Florence). Often this will be the local version, as with Madrid. Sometimes the usual English version will differ somewhat from the local form as in Franz Josef Strauss; and rarely, as with Mount Everest, it will be completely different.

WP:CANSTYLE is even more specific than WP:NC on this point. Unless there is a widely used and recognized English-language version of the name, use the official French-language version.
