Talk:National Party (South Africa)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Should this page be merged with the New National Party Page?
I suppose that depends on how "new" the NNP really is.
- That was my first though. In fact, i was about to redirect there until i saw the line above and realised it may get controversial. Time will tell how it should best be handled

[edit] What was the name of Smuts' party?
Sources on the Internet claim that it was the "South African Party", and not the Labour party.
Smuts' party was originally the SAP then it merged with the original NP, and this was called the United Party, or 'UP' Shizzel 16:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name
The name of the party was "National Party" not "Nationalist Party". �Dr.Poison 22:33, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One party or more
This looks a similar situation to Sinn Féin with the party dividing at one stage with what is effectively a breakaway rump carrying on the name into later years. See also Liberal Party (UK, 1989) for another party that claims to be a continuation of one that went into a merger, but is legally a different entity. Is it really fair to say there was a single National Party from 1914-2005 or was the 1934 entity a new party of refuseniks? Timrollpickering 11:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Leaders
Why isn't J.B.M. Hertzog listed as a leader of the National Party? Please correct the list. --Discott 20:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NPsouthafrica.jpg
Image:NPsouthafrica.jpg 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
