barack obama category list

[edit]

we shouldn't use it considering the book involves numerous politicians equally, and in fact in current reporting, involves another pol (H Reid) way more than obama. This seems pretty simple to me, but some classy editor from the vandal team seems to be interested in repeatedly rvting me on this topic... so any ideas are welcome (wp:undue) 66.220.124.56 (talk) 02:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Official title

[edit]

I bought the book today and I know this sounds odd but I think the official title is just "Game Change", b/c although the subtitle is on the front cover it isn't on the side of the book and most importantly it isn't on the copyright page or the page that restates the title before the book begins. The only place the subtitle appears is on the front cover. I don't believe this is very controversial but I think it is significant to the article. I would suggest changing the title of the article to simply "Game Change" or "Game Change (2010 novel)" if there is another with the same title. --Fshoutofdawater (talk) 03:55, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Book's Authenticiy Has Been Challenged, And You Need To Respect This Edit

[edit]

  • Before I try to reword it, I wanted to give the anonymous editor a chance to respond. The sentence says "Sources, however, have questioned the authenticity of some of the book's accusations." However, looking at the four sources it cites, I don't see anything specific that questions whether specific facts are correct or accurate. Rather, it seems it would be more accurate to write something to the affect of "Some critics and media officials have described the book as more like gossip than investigative journalism, and questioned the prevalent use of unnamed sources throughout Game Change." This seems more fair and more accurate, unless you can point out to me what I'm missing in the sources that is questioning the books accusations? — Hunter Kahn 19:28, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UK title = Race for of a Lifetime?

[edit]

I presume this book is the same one as "Race of a Lifetime" being released in the UK?

Challenge to article's neutrality

[edit]

Is there a way to officially challenge this article's neutrality? I have not liked this article's "response" section from the beginning but I think it is just getting worse and worse. Not all of the critisism I have heard has been negative. These journalists are highly respected and their sources must be secret b/c of the sensitivity of the information. However, this problem is not a new one and does not necessarily mean that they are bad sources. I think this article is unacceptably biased towards the negative viewpoint of the book. --Fshoutofdawater (talk) 19:58, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
