Writing Style[edit]

This is for discussion about the style of writing used by Avi in Nothing But the Truth. --Think Fast 22:58, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Comments[edit]

Has anybody noticed the "pretty weanie if you ask me" at the end of the summary? Pretty funny if you ask me. 22:12, January 10, 2007 (UTC)

Noticed and reverted :) --Think Fast 05:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title Change/Page Move[edit]

scwang

non-fiction, but this book is fiction.  If there are no objections, I will move it sometime later this week. Just wanted to any opinons before I did this. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 22:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page moved to Nothing But the Truth (novel) per WP:NC-BK#Standard disambiguation. Please discuss before reverting. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 20:34, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protect status[edit]

Can we please use a condom here...i dont like sperm in my vagina... semi-protect this article from the childish vandalism that pops up? —Micahbrwn (talk) 22:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be unusual to apply protection to an article with vandalism levels as low as this. Joyous! | Talk 01:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism seems to happen rather frequently. Or do you mean the amount of vandalism (e.g. inserting random keystrokes in the middle of paragraphs, adding nonsense like the word "fag" into a paragraph about a character, etc., etc.)? In any case, the "level" of vandalism (whatever that means) may be "low", but it's still annoying. Just saying. Incidentally, what "level" of vandalism would make it an issue enough to consider putting this article on semi-protect status? Just curious. —Micahbrwn (talk) 08:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's not really a hard and fast rule: you ask a different person and get a different answer. I protected Waylon Jennings because of high vandalism levels for a while. Here, it seems to be pretty sporadic. Joyous! | Talk 01:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A couple times a week is "sporadic"? Okay, then. —Micahbrwn (talk) 06:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, ask a different person and get a different answer. *I* don't think it warrants protection, but if you want to approach someone else, I won't be unhappy about it. Joyous! | Talk 15:57, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs some references - some reliable third-party references[edit]

These references should not be hard to find since the book has won awards. There should be some literary analysis of the book also. –Mattisse (Talk) 22:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dystopian?[edit]

I don't think that this is a dystopian novel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.95.107 (talk) 03:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved. Number 5 7 21:53, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing But the Truth (novel) → Nothing but the Truth: A Documentary Novel – A commonly-used title, I hope. And a better, more natural title in contrast to parenthetical disambiguation. Also, "but" should be de-capped per WP:NCCAPS. If you disagree, why not Nothing But the Truth: A Documentary Novel then? George Ho (talk) 06:05, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Nothing but the Truth: A Documentary Novel per WP:NATURAL. Sovereign /^Sentinel 10:36, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nothing but the Truth: A Documentary Novel per MOS:CT and WP:NATURAL. –Chase (talk / contribs) 21:32, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support this is a better title and I feel having parentheses in the title is awkward KiwikiKiWi (talk) 23:59, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
