Talk:Click It or Ticket/Archives/2012

Category

I removed Category:Political slogans. Getting people to wear seat belts is not a political goal, so I didn't feel it was really appropriate. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 03:54, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)

I disagree. It is a slogan often used by government agencies in propaganda on TV/Radio, and it is hurled around as a catchphrase, essential that’s what a slogan is. America’s attempts to get people to wear seatbelts is very political and the funding of Click it or Ticket is also quite political, requiring legislatures to allocate money, etc. Additionally, I would note that the British equivelent of Click Iawef;laksjdf1-098!!!!!!!!t or Ticket Clunk Click Every Trip, is also catagorized as a political slogan. --Shortfuse 20:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Citations Needed

This article could really use some help in the citation department, IMHO. There are alot of facts and figures here, many lacking citation and thus verifiability.

Does anyone have a citation for these statement(s)?

"A survey conducted by Public Opinion Strategies found that 83 percent of 800 United States citizens surveyed had seen, read, or heard about the Click It or Ticket campaign. Additionally, 81 percent of the public supports the effort." --Shortfuse 21:12, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Academic Titles

Prof. Walter E. Williams was listed with the title Dr. instead of Prof. This is an American program, and in the US, the title is Dr. is commonly used only for physicians and dentists. It's sometimes used with a university for faculty member with a Ph.D. below the rank of full professor, but rarely outside the university context. Since Professor is considered a higher title within academia, it is preferred title for full professors.

It's seems pretty clear that the use of Dr. was an attempt to mislead readers into thinking that Prof. Williams is a medical doctor. In fact, he has a Ph.D. in economics. [1] Bostoner (talk) 21:04, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
