Merge of Single-click and Point-and-click
I don't think this should be merged with single-click since point and click is also a genre within pc-games, such as Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, etc. —Preceding

I merged it. I don't understand how one could click on an item without pointing to it before. In addition, the article does not talk about the "PC-game genre" you are referring to. --

Fair use rationale for Image:Chuck the plant.gif
Image:Chuck the plant.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under
fair use but there is no
explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the
boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with
fair use.
Please go to
the image description page and edit it to include a
fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at
Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The whole article just "point-and-click", except the title that says "Point and click". That's why I suggest the article should be renamed to "Point-and-click". --

I agree that this was correct, per
WP:NOUN: Nouns and noun phrases are normally preferred over titles using other parts of speech; such a title can be the subject of the first sentence. Examples demonstrating my understanding of the distinction:
Point and click is an action of a computer user. (Point and click is a noun).
The point-and-click user interface generally superseded the mouse-free
command-line interface. (point-and-click is an adjective; user interface is the noun)
Oppose per
WP:HYPHEN (corollary of #3). Using the hyphens as part of a
compound modifier is appropriate (i.e., when they are used like an adjective — e.g. in "point-and-click interfaces") but the hyphens are not normally used with nouns (and titles should be nouns as noted above). The dictionary citations given above are for the adjectives, not the nouns. —

Oppose per
WP:NOUN and
WP:HYPHEN. The title should be a noun phrase if possible, and the phrase "point and click" has no hyphens when used as a noun.
WP:COMMONNAME makes no mentions of punctuation; I don't think it should trump Wikipedia hyphen style. –
