Talk:Seth Moulton

New Draft for Seth Moulton
This is a draft for a new page on Seth Moulton. The previous page was deleted due to lack of references and perceived importance (See Articles_for_deletion/Seth_Moulton). I believe this draft satisfies all Wikipedia rules regarding notability, references, and neutral point-of-view. Please feel free to edit or comment on this draft page - I am currently giving the admins responsible for the prior deletion time to comment, but will be posting this to the new page shortly. -Rustavo, 1 September, 2014

Congressional Photo
Are we not able to get his congressional photo for the infobox? Guyb123321 (talk) 19:17, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't see one on his congressional website. But we would be able to use it, if you found it somewhere else. -- Calidum  19:47, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Concern about promotional tone of recent edits
I'm concerned about the promotional tone of recent edits to this article. For example, this recent edit contains a long, self-congratulatory quote by the candidate. The edit summary for the edit is "Add more on his commitment to Veterans." That edit summary and the content of the edit, as well as other recent edits here, leave me concerned that our neutrality policy is not being adhered to. We should be impartial and fact-based, not seeking to show that a politician has a "commitment" to anything in particular. Champaign Supernova (talk) 19:11, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I am in agreement that the recent edits by 1077 seem NPOV in nature, however they are also adding new information which is certainly needed. I would suggest the aticle be gone over with a comb to sift out any obvious promotion, but that being said this is an article about a US Rep from MA so someone will probably come along in the near and try to get it up to GA status. And with that being said, a close eye should probably be put on this page, and 1077 be warned if they go from seemingly/implied to blatant promotion. Do you/anyone have any other suggestions?

 * Okay, it now seems like 1077 is just blatantly copying info from Moulton's House page and including outright non-neutral wording. Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 04:28, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yikes, good catch. I'm going to go through the article today with a fine-toothed comb to make sure it doesn't contain any other copyright violations. Champaign Supernova (talk) 15:36, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Somebody Should Improve the Bronze Star Part
The article makes it seem like a Bronze Star is a bit more than it is. Now I'm not running down this medal, having one myself, but it also is true that it doesn't take Audie Murphy-esqe actions to earn one even with the "v" device.

2018 anti-Pelosi efforts
Why is there nothing about his 2018 efforts to prevent Pelosi from becoming House speaker? It's by far what he's received the most national news coverage for in recent months... AnonMoos (talk) 18:04, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above. His anti-Pelosi crusade is almost the only thing attached to his name in my memory. "The Pathetic Pelosi Putsch" (2018) lays out quite a bit of the story though it's too opinion-laden to be a good source for the article. There's also The Boston Globe (starting in 2017), and just about anything written about Moulton in fall 2018 was really about his attempt to dump Pelosi, e.g. The Hill. It should be in the article.

Foreign policy
The only comment in this article under "Foreign policy" is:

"Moulton opposed sending U.S. troops back to Iraq in 2014."

How lame can you be? Readers of this article deserve to be given a reasonable account of his views on Foreign policy. ---Dagme (talk) 13:53, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

American High-Speed Rail Act
I recently created an article for the American High-Speed Rail Act. Any help improving the article would be appreciated. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 22:14, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Recent news coverage of Moulton: trip to Kabul
Wikipedia is NOTNEWS, so I am putting links here rather than info in the article: "Two Congress members make unauthorized trip to Kabul amid evacuation efforts" (WaPo 8/24) and "Two Congress members fly to Kabul, infuriate DoD, White House" (Military Times 8/24) Moulton has a statement, and if the event gets continued coverage, more context may emerge.

RS for sourcing Moulton's political positions
In the context of Moulton's 2019 moonshot at the Dem nomination for president, his political positions got detailed coverage in RS. We shouldn't neglect these good RS to cite potentially-impermanent sources such as ontheissues.org or Moulton's own website and press releases. HouseOfChange (talk) 23:27, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Supporting President Joseph Biden and the people working with him
It is truly disappointing to hear that you do not support the President. The Democrats need to hold each other up not bring them down. Shame 2601:199:4301:4FB0:9040:D496:5FB9:7B1 (talk) 16:13, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
