: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)

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  as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 08:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

message: :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.

thread_title: Added criticism section

message: I'm going to perfect your Tipping Point Page this Christmas, by adding more content details, instead of focusing on your prose, which I think is already quite good:) as is.  I'm a psychology student, so this book is up my alley :p So i hope you don't mind.  By the way, i highly recommend you read his other book Blink, as well as his newest book Outliers :)  He's a good writer.  He's quite skilled at elucidating key concepts without coming off as a pedantic snob, that's why i've becoming a Connector of sorts for all my friends :) telling him about the book.
the above quote was me :p i forgot to tilda it.  Also i slightly edited your criticism section.  Just added a few more words.

thread_title:  Edited criticism of Tipping Point 

message: I don't have the book handy, but I think Levitt's explanation was a bit more detailed than that. IIRC, abortion was only one factor, increased police presence and longer prison sentences were also attributed as having a positive effect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ketil (talk • contribs) 06:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Freakonomics' explanation of crime decrease 

message: The final source cited in the scientific reception section doesn't come close to meeting Wikipedia's standards. The paper is hosted on Academia.edu, where anybody can publish his own work and nothing is peer reviewed, and it contains numerous grammatical errors. The author isn't an authority, he's just some guy who wrote a thing and put it on the Internet. The whole paragraph, with the source, should be deleted. 72.28.137.35 (talk) 23:34, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
