Talk:European Workers Party

message: In the LaRouche publications, they always translated EAP as "European Labor Party." They also had a "U.S. Labor Party" in the 70s, as well as a "North American Labor Party" in Canada and a "Mexican Labor Party." In addition, there were EAPs in Denmark, Germany, Italy and France. --172.191.201.152 21:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is correct that there were several EAP:s in other countries than Sweden. However, the Swedish EAP is the only one of these that still exists. The term European Workers Party is an exact translation of Swedish Europeiska Arbetarpartiet, where the "s" in Workers signifies plural and not genitive. Hence, European Workers Party is a translation, while European Labor Party is the American denomination of the party. Further, in Sweden, the existing title of the article is the common denomination of the (Swedish) party. For instance, during the Olof Palme assassination investigation, this term was the one commonly used by medias covering it - both by English speaking journalists and others. --Astor Piazzolla 07:34, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Incorrect translation of name

message: We have sources that characterize this group as belonging to the Swedish far right. Are there any that dispute the affiliation?  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 00:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that it is fine to put this issue in the body of the article, but I oppose having it in a template or category, which lies beyond the reach of NPOV because there can be no rebuttal. I have been through this argument in diverse articles. In the case of the term "far right," it is generally not only pejorative, but also very vague. The Wikipedia article Far right, which is linked to the template, says: "These categories are not universally accepted, and other uses exist, making comparative use of the term complicated." The term, however, is often associated with racism or opposition to civil rights. I don't think this can apply to the Workers Party-- see this and this. There are other policies which they support which would be considered liberal or left. I object to the haste with which political organizations which may be quite complicated are placed in simplistic categories, often for POV-warfare reasons. --Marvin Diode 14:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither of the sources you provided dispute that this group is a far right political party. We shouldn't make that determination on our own, based on anecdotal information. Rather we should just summarize what reliable sources say.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 18:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The point that I think you are missing here is that a category is an entirely different matter than a summary of reliable sources. To be placed in a category, the question should be beyond dispute. BTW, I don't profess to be a speaker of Swedish, but I believe that this article in Expressen calls the EAP left-wing. Perhaps we have some good Swedish speakers here that can confirm this -- Babelfish and Google Translation don't deal with Swedish. --Marvin Diode 21:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If there's a dispute then please let us know. Regarding the "Expressions" article, what is the Swedish term for "left wing"?  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 23:01, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: the party is called the European Workers' Party, not the European Workers Party, so surely this should be the title. we can always keep European Workers Party as a redirect. i don't want to rename the whole article without checking first though so thoughts?
