The current image does not qualify for fair use since it is replaceable by a free version. From blazon "In heraldry and heraldic vexillology, a blazon is a formal description of, most often, a coat of arms or flag, which enables a person to construct or reconstruct the appropriate image. A coat of arms or flag is therefore not primarily defined by a picture, but rather by the wording of its blazon". In this case the blazon reads: "I svart en vase av guld." which completly defines any renditioning of the coat of arms. /Lokal_Profil 17:26, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that this article is changed into the name "Swedish National Federation". The reason is that an english-language thesis is underway at the University of Umeå. The researcher, Ph.D. Lena Berggren, uses the name above and since very little has been written about this organization, it's likely that her translation will be the dominating one. AFAIK, there's no real reason to use the current translation beyond the facyt that the starter of the article chose it. I think we should follow the naming convention of established science.

The name used for this article is the closest possible translation from the Swedish name. The direct translation of "the Swedish National Federation" would be "Svenska nationella federationen" (or "svenska riksfederationen"). The Swedish word 'förbund' is sometimes translated as 'Federation' in English, though. 'Union' could also be used as a translation of "förbund". "of Sweden" is a more correct translation than "Swedish". Googling for "Swedish National Federation" doesn't show that other authors use that naming in English, overall there doesn't seem to be a well-established English name for the organization. In such cases, the most literal direct translation is prefered. --Soman (talk) 19:25, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably true that other authors don't use my suggested translation, but that's more likely because there's very little research done on this group. If you google National League of Sweden you mostly get hits on wikipedia and derivatives thereof. Well, I won't change anything without consensus.Lorkonius (talk) 19:35, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I must say I find it debatable to classify the SNF as a fascist or Nazi party. Looking at the guidelines for the fascism project here, I am not at all sure they fit the description. Also, using Stanley Payne's classification, they are more of what he would call a radical right group. I think he might even have mentioned them as such at some point. Thoughts?
