Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

- Hi 117Avenue. The edit is correct. please see the BC NDP as an example. Also, the party website - nl.ndp.ca - and the caucus website - nlndpcaucus.ca use this abbreviation. The caucus twitter account is: NL NDP Caucus. You can also view the latest news release from the party; it includes the use of 'NL NDP': http://nl.ndp.ca/node/1096. 'NL NDP' and 'NDP' are used interchangeably depending on the context of the sentence. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RonnieDobbsNL (talk • contribs) 11:29, 30 October 2012
- All of these cases require the party to separate itself from other "NDP"s. In an encyclopaedia article it is a given as to what we are talking about. In writing a good article, we are encouraged to first explain an abbreviation before using it, and use that same abbreviation through out the article. It doesn't make sense to first explain that the "Newfoundland and Labrador New Democratic Party" is referred to as "NL NDP", then go on to talk about "NDP". 117Avenue (talk) 02:59, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
- Right on. New version looks good. Thanks. RonnieDobbsNL 31 October 2012
