I work for Rubenstein and Wes Moore is a client of ours. To mitigate any potential conflict of interest, per BLP Standards, I did not edit the content of the article, I merely added reliable citations to key facts. If there are any questions/concerns to my actions, please discuss on my talk page. // Brycetom ( talk) 21:12, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Per the style/tone notice, I have restructured the first paragraphs of the entry to be more in line with Wikipedia style. I ask that an editor add the content to the page as they see fit. If the content is not moved in 48 hours, I will go ahead and edit the entry directly. If you have any concerns, please discuss here or on my talk page. // Brycetom ( talk) 19:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
There is a book called Forcefully Advancing which is written by a Wes Moore. Does anyone know if this is the same Wes Moore as listed in the article? The official website for the book is
here.

Not the same guy. Forcefully Advancing website has author photo. So, there are at least three Wes Moores. Don't Be Evil ( talk) 01:49, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
I believe it is very important for readers of this page to know that he appeared on the Real Time with Bill Maher, discussing the 2012 election as well as reflecting a lot on his own life and books and other endeavors. I don't feel confident in my own editing, so I just ask that someone add this to his page.

How does this guy qualify for his own wikipedia page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.60.145 ( talk) 19:51, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I believe Wes Moore should have his own page as he is a White House Fellow, Rhodes Scholar, was a speaker at the 2008 DNC, and is on the board of several well known organizations. He is "up-and-coming" which is how I came across this Wikipedia page. It seems worthwhile to have a page to provide information about Wes Moore in one location.
He's the author of The Other Wes Moore. Don't Be Evil ( talk) 01:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
It says he appears on MSNBC, so the reason for him to have his own page would be that he must be a liberal and ergo important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.233.118 ( talk) 22:19, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
I'm a little worried that current infobox image is apparently from a publicist. That seems like it might fall afoul of WP:BLPSPS and WP:NOTADVERT. Does anyone want to keep the image or can I swap it for another one? NickCT ( talk) 15:33, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
Coming to discuss with FloridaArmy and anyone else, per WP:BRD. My changes were aimed at addressing NPOV issues and unencyclopedic overdetail in the article. These issues were clearly noticed by other editors as well, hence the already-added "resume-like" template. In the past, this article has also been repeatedly edited by WP:SPAs who have added promotional content, causing some of these neutrality issues. Which specific parts of my changes did you object to? —Ganesha811 ( talk) 21:08, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
@ JosephSmith1 I dispute your edit to the paragraph about Moore attending a fundraiser hosted by individuals associated with Trump and the Hindutva political movement. The edit you made adjusts the paragraph from being about Moore attending a fundraiser hosted by Hindu nationalists to one about Moore "relying on ties to the Oval Office" to get elected -- a claim made by neither of the articles cited in that paragraph. Per your edit summary, you also claim that the cited Intercept article is on Moore's ties to the Trump campaign. This is not the case, as the article's purpose is to highlight how Hindutva is becoming involved with American politics through financial contributions to various political candidates and campaigns, including Moore's campaign.

I don’t think we should be removing sourced controversies over perceived “unseriousness.” People in Maryland were interviewed for the article who did take issue with this and other sources based in Maryland have also talked about Miller’s allahed ties to Hindutva. It merits mention. Barbarbarty ( talk) 04:07, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
According to M Webster “incumbent” means : one that occupies a particular position or place. I’m confused. Wasn’t Gov. Hogan the incumbent? 2601:984:4101:8EB0:B898:ED12:536A:AA43 ( talk) 17:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
Does anyone object to a controversy section, like almost all public figures have? I propose including controversy over his book and public claims that he was awarded the Bronze star and grew up in Baltimore, which he sometimes allowed people in his presence to state without correcting. Sources include the following, including video clips, as well as his pushback:

Oscar Dunn was elected Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana and on two separate occasions he served as Acting Governor when Governor Warmoth was out of the state. Dunn died in office & Pinchback was elected Lieutenant Governor to replace Dunn. Then he, too, served as Acting Governor when Warmoth was out of the state. 24.252.88.21 ( talk) 17:56, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
