[edit] Article title

I could be mistaken, but isn't raised fist a much more common term than clenched fist when refering to this salute? Perhaps move it to raised fist again. The Ungovernable Force 08:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Either way (raised fist or clinched fist) is fine by me. jareha (comments) 18:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Sorta related, but, what does "copyedit" mean, I've seen this term a lot lately. Is it the same as page move or something? The Ungovernable Force 21:27, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
In short: making improvements to text. I use the term "copyedit" to show I've done my best to bring an article in line with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. jareha (comments) 00:40, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
I too think "Raised fist" is a much more common term, and was the name of the article earlier on (when it was still a stub). My problem with the current title is that, well, a fist is, by definition, clenched. That's what makes it a fist rather than an open hand. Can we move this back to raised fist? --Switch 09:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree Immanuel goldstein 09:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, three of four people support the move and none oppose, so I'm asking for a move to raised fist now. --Switch 11:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Clenched fist → Raised fist — "Raised fist" is a much more common term than "clenched fist" for the leftist salute the article is about. Further, a fist is, by definition, clenched. "Clenched fist" is a redundant term and rarer than "raised fist". Switch 11:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Support, obviously, as stated in the proposal. --Switch 11:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support It used to be raised fist then got merged or moved or something. I always thought raised fist was both more common and better sounding but never felt like complaining. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 20:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Clenched fist is often used to describe nervousness/anger/etc, whereas raised fist is less confusable as the salute. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 21:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Well, there seems to be a pretty clear consensus to move. I'll request a move then, I guess? 100% support seems like a clear result to me. -Switch 17:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I've moved the page. —Mets501 (talk) 20:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a minute!

This article isn't about raised fists in general, it's about a salute. So shouldn't the title be "raised fist salute"? Tom129.93.17.68 —Preceding comment was added at 20:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
