[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The Tipping Point (book) → The Tipping Point—The book is the most common usage so there's no need to disambiguate. The Tipping Point is already a redirect page. - JSmith60 07:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Weak oppose: There's a bit of a mess here. There are near-identical disambigs at Tipping point (disambiguation) and The Tipping Point (disambiguation), which should IMO be merged. Tipping point was a well-established term before the book, and is the main usage of the term without the leading The of the book title. I can argue the proposed move either way, so I'd leave it where it is, which seems safest. Andrewa 10:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- Weak oppose: Tipping point (disambiguation) lists 3 items named "The Tipping Point". I've merged the 2 disambig pages; that was just obvious to do. --Alvestrand 16:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Andrewa's comments that tipping point is the most common meaning of "tipping point" is true, but not especially pertinent, since we are discussing the phrase "The Tipping Point", which is different. Similarly, Alvestrand's observation, that three items are listed at Tipping point (disambiguation) which begin with "The Tipping Point", does not preclude there being one dominant usage. No-one has asserted that the book is not the primary meaning of "The Tipping Point", and indeed it does appear to be the primary meaning. This article has been renamed from The Tipping Point (book) to The Tipping Point as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 08:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Thetippingpoint.jpg
Image:Thetippingpoint.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.
