There is no such thing as the "Pinot Noir passing-off controversy." You just made it up to make a point on another article. You should have your editing privileges blocked. Yopienso (talk) 08:13, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Read Wikipedia:NAME#Descriptive titles at your leisure, please. The current title is descriptive of the event. This is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid, and we do not parrot political pejoratives for article titles. Tarc (talk) 23:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You jest! Saying "Pinotgate" = "parroting political pejoratives"? At least you've given me some amusement. Ha-ha! Neither the San Francisco Chronicle (aka "SFGate"-lol) nor the Washington Post is too prim to call it "Pinotgate." http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-03-07/food/18378143_1_pinot-wine-giant-global-wine-market http://voices.washingtonpost.com/all-we-can-eat/wine/wine-pinot-gate-may-involve-mo-1.html All you have to do is put it in quotation marks, and no one will accuse Wikipedia of using cultural pejoratives. Same over at "Climategate"--just follow the lead of professional writers and use those handy little quotation marks.
I've read the Wikipedia:NAME#Descriptive titles; next on my list is changing the title of the "Zipper" article to "Slide fastener." Let's see, and what would "Interlocking fastening discs" be, or "Hand tool consisting of a handle with a head of metal or other heavy rigid material that is attached at a right angle, used for striking or pounding." Oh, rats! I've no idea how to change a title! That'll keep me honest!  :) Yopienso (talk) 01:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
