Categories
Yeah, I know I'm a lazy bastard, but if someone could fix the category now that we know his year of birth, that would be great.

Wanted Information
I will be interviewing Brian Moore tomorrow, if anyone has any questions they think should be covered, please post. The interview is an obvious potential source for the article, documented and thus not OR. KV(Talk) 21:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Why does this TV fancruft get a section all to itself? The Wednesday Island (talk) 02:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it should be moved to another section, calling it something like 2008 election, to distinguish it from his other biographical data. I'm also wondering why its not mentioned that this guy used to be a republican. He's jumped from democratic to green party/indie to republican than all the sudden a socialist.

 * Wow I'm that tired I see. Thats already the name of the section. What I must in fact be proposing is that we move all relevant data about his campaign into that section. After I wake up, of course. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 09:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and took care of it. I'm no good at writing but at least its NPOV. I suppose we just need more info on his campaign. I didn't see any while doing a google search. I'm beginning to think this guy is only notable for losing elections. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 09:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * What was the section about? Also, why is he wearing a wriststrong bracelet? Шизомби (talk) 23:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

How much info on embarassing associates should be in a presidential candidate's biography?
The Barack Obama Featured Article, part of this project's scope, now has an important discussion on its talk page (at Talk:Barack Obama) that could affect other articles, including this one, on other presidential candidates. There is already talk on that page that the articles on other presidential candidates may need to be changed, so editors involved in this article may want to get involved with the discussion there.

Some editors here think that when a U.S. presidential candidate is embarassed by someone associated with that candidate, no information about it should be mentioned in the WP biography article, even if the campaign (and therefore the person who is the subject of the article) was affected. Others think WP should only mention that this person was controversial and leave a link in the article to the WP article on that controversial associate. Still others (including me), think we should briefly explain just why that person was controversial in the candidate's life, which can be done in a phrase or at most a sentence or two. Examples: Whatever we do, we should have equal treatment, so anyone interested in NPOV-, WP:BLP-compliant articles should look at and participate in the discussion. We've started the discussion by focusing on how much to say about former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers in the Barack Obama article, but, again, this will likely affect many other articles.
 * Hillary Clinton and Norman Hsu
 * Barack Obama and Bill Ayers (and Jeremiah Wright, and Tony Rezko)
 * John McCain and John C. Hagee
 * Rudy Giuliani and Bernard Kerik

If you click on the first link I give here, you'll find a comparison I did of negative information in the Clinton, McCain and Giuliani articles. I've also posted that information on the talk pages of those articles. In that discussion (and at the McCain, Clinton and Giuliani talk pages), I've also posted a comparison of what negative information is presented on each candidate, especially in relation to associates who give the candidates bad publicity. I think editors of this article would find the comparison useful. Noroton (talk) 17:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * On some other pages where I've posted this, people have been responding only beneath the post, which is fine, but won't help get a consensus where it counts. So please excuse me for raising my voice, just to make sure I get the point across: Please respond at Talk:Barack Obama where your comments will actually affect the consensus!!! Sorry for the shoutin', won't do it again (here, anyway). Noroton (talk) 18:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Place of Birth
This article doesn't include Moore's place of birth. I remember reading that one of the candidates for President from a socialist party was not born in the US, and therefore was ineligible for the office. Does anyone know if Moore is the guy, or is that someone else?
 * You're probably thinking of Róger Calero Шизомби (talk) 23:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe Moore was born in California (I know he at least grew up there). -David Schaich Talk/Cont 00:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Interview
I am reprinting an interview that I did with representitive Moore, can this be put on there somewhere? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.107.65.77 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 1 August 2009
