Book pulled[edit]

Just heard a report that the book is being pulled from Barnes & Nobles' stores. Don't have a citable source yet, but here is a head's up. TANSTAAFL (talk) 14:11, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's definitely available on-line through Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/fed-up-rick-perry/1102252946 Chip Unicorn (talk) 17:20, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 12 June 2014[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn/moved to Fed Up! (book). Also, my edit to redirect Fed Up! here has been reverted. Opposes have good points, and I honestly have no desire to stand my ground with this nomination. Wikipedia has more important things going on. Steel1943 (talk) 21:13, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington → Fed Up! – Per WP:SUBTITLES, and because there has been a precedent that an exclamation point in a title is a sufficient disambiguator from titles without an exclamation point. – Steel1943 (talk) 17:42, 12 June 2014 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).

Oppose An exclamation mark isn't enough for disambiguation. This should be moved to Fed Up! (book). Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 17:47, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Armbrust: Consensus that an exclamation point is a sufficient disambiguator has been formed some in the past. Unfortunately, I can't find an example right now, but I know most examples are songs. Steel1943 (talk) 17:55, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Steel1943: Some recent example, where it was deemed not sufficient: Fightback! to Fightback! (policy), Shhh! to Shhh! (Kumbia Kings album), All Fired Up! to All Fired Up! (tour), Want! → Want (Berryz Kobo song) or So Long! → So Long (AKB48 song). Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 18:03, 12 June 2014 (UTC)ű[reply]

@Armbrust: Fair enough. I'll try to see if I can find some examples of the opposite case. I have went ahead and made a minor tweak to my rationale, given these examples. Steel1943 (talk) 19:54, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Armbrust. Fed Up! should redirect to Fed up. The full title of the book, which is its current location, is the best natural way to disambiguate the book from other similar titles. Xoloz (talk) 21:06, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
