Off to a good start
The article is off to a good start but I must quit for today. Have to go do mundane things like clean out cat litter boxes, clean house and pull weeds. The joys of domestic homekeeping! :-) Have fun everyone!Mary Ash 17:03, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Duplicate topic to existing article
There already is an article, Tea Party Movement, to which several Citizens have contributed. The material here should be added here; there's no point to a new article. I have carefully not looked at the contents of this article any more than to verify the subject, so this is not a criticism of content.
Also, there is tea party (disambiguation). Howard C. Berkowitz 17:49, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. I did a general search for Tea Party at CZ and nothing showed up. I started writing. Mary Ash 18:14, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- Dratted search engine. Hmmm...maybe we need Tea Party (disambiguation) as well as tea party (disambiguation) Howard C. Berkowitz 18:21, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- "The material here should be added here;" - we're missing a 't'.
- Let's decide which one the article should live at and place a redirect at the other. My gut feeling is Tea Party Movement, with appropriate disambiguation, but I do not have strong feelings either way.
- And I hope that was tongue-in-cheek Howard, only one disambiguation page, I'm begging you! :)

- Aleta, I was serious: let me explain. Mary might have found the existing article if the search tools weren't so case sensitive. This is something that could go to the tech forum, but I was thinking of a short term fix for the case-caused ambiguity. Mary, I suspect, hasn't been here long enough to fully appreciate the evil search engine and the way it can mislead.
- Redirects are good.
- Now, we may have to disambiguate at least some California Tea Parties, where they smoke it rather than drink it. (Cannabis, if that usage of "tea" isn't AuE).
- Seriously, we can think carefully about some original synthesis with some issues here, such as the history of populist movements in the U.S. Speaking as a Politics Editor, the Tea Party Movement has a core of fiscal conservatism, but potentially conflicting libertarianism, paleoconservatism, and social conservatism. Also see restructuring of the U.S. political right. It may have been there that I put some material about the reality versus perception of several perceived "conservatives" (Reagan) and "liberals" (Clinton). Howard C.
