Article has the quote as 'Moore has strongly praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that he is maybe "more akin to me than I know [myself]".' The addition of the word "[myself]" is not a part of the original quote, nor is it a part of the quote as it appears in either of the cited sources. It also seems to me that it doesn't add to the quote and may change its meaning.
MrX, a few things concerning your revert. First, we don't need to include something in the source if it has nothing to do with the article. The CNN article is one of three sources for the birther claim. I read the article. It's literally all about Trump and doesn't even mention Roy Moore at all. As such, the source is totally irrelevant to the article and should be removed. Display name 99 ( talk) 15:59, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
."Moore's comments came three months after then-Republican nominee Donald Trump conceded that Obama was born in the US after pushing the racially charged birther conspiracy for years. Trump endorsed Moore's opponent Sen. Luther Stranger during the Republican primary and congratulated both candidates on proceeding to the runoff."
— CNN
Stating "false" here is a definitive statement and one can not make such a claim about this. The argument I have is in saying the claim is false. It's fair to say he "promoted the claim" but not fair to state true or false about this claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Binary Agent ( talk • contribs) 22:31, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
Since this article has a problem with persistent vandalism, but not frequent enough to qualify for semi-protection, I have installed Pending Change protection for 6 months. Hopefully that will allow us to keep it under control. -- MelanieN ( talk) 18:35, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Numerous news outlets are reporting this: should there not be a mention somewhere in the article of the lawsuit and possibly the originating incident? The BBC [1], CNN [2], the Guardian [3], the New York Times [4], the Washington Post [5], even Vanity Fair [6]!
That's got to be enough to be start with, more available all over the place ( WP: LMGTFY: roy moore sacha baron cohen) HTH HAND — Phil | Talk 13:27, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
We should probably mention the false flag operation by some Democrats during the Senate campaign, which made it appear that Moore's supporters favored the prohibition of alcohol in Alabama. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/us/politics/alabama-senate-facebook-roy-moore.html AxelBoldt ( talk) 01:02, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
The current version of the article describes Moore as "an advocate of far-right politics, including segregation". While the sources supplied certainly justify far-right, the only mention of segregation in any of them is the mere fact that George Wallace won the state on a segregation platform. So far as I can tell, none of them include even the suggestion that Moore endorses it, much less proof. Unless someone can find it in there, I'd suggest removing the "including segregation". 135.180.163.113 ( talk) 20:48, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Why is a low quality screenshot of an interview from YouTube used instead of an official portrait (public domain)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamalkemal ( talk • contribs) 04:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
