Talk:Freddy Moore

Article

This article is a bit of a mess. It also appears that much of it has been written by the subject. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 09:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hilarious!

Wow, what a shrine to colossally misguided self-importance! And dig the numerous ego-driven articles about the many short-lived failed bands of Freddie's! All of them should be blasted into oblivion, of course. But they certainly do reveal a lot about Freddie Moore -- sadly, probably far more than he realizes. 172.130.216.172 (talk) 04:34, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

The bands in question (Skogie, The Nu Kats, The Kat Club et al) each have their own site, which is ridiculous, seeing as they all have virtually identical memberships. Each of these pages has been proposed for a merger with Skogie, although an argument could be made to merge them here. 172.131.12.141 (talk) 23:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Possible Conflict of Interest

A major contributor to this article, Fgmoore (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), may have a conflict of interest. His username may suggest that he is infact (or has a close affiliation with) Freddy Moore, in which case he would have a conflict of interest.

This article seems to be written from a point of view that would suggest a close affiliation to Moore, with information that a normal person would not know and information that and no information has been cited. The image is also from what seems to be a non-free Photo archive, but has been released into the Public Domain, which further gives the impression that he is in fact Freddy Moore.

Just thought I'd put that out there. I've never run into a case of a COI, so I've not got much clue what to do. Save-Me-Oprah^(talk) 06:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Responding to your COI/N report: Well, technically I would guess you're right; it appears to be a case of COI (and possibly even sock puppetry if the two accounts – Fgmoore (talk · contribs) and Eroomgf (talk · contribs) – are used alternatingly). However, going through the user's edits, these consist mainly of adding the images, responding to a not-so-subtle remark, adding the infobox, restructuring, listing some related webpages, referencing some statements, and other minor corrections ([1], [2], [3]). None of these edits have introduced a significant POV or autobiographical bias, and the quality of the article appears to have improved, rather than declined, as a result of the user's contributions. Thus, unless I have missed some evidence, my opinion would be that no action needs to be taken at this point. Ayla (talk) 04:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually reading through the article (instead of just edit diffs), I now see your point re the COI tone. The culprit appears to be a single edit made by 64.169.213.73 (talk · contribs) almost two years ago. But yes, the article definitely could use a rewrite. Ayla (talk) 04:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

References are indeed present

Roughly 90% of this article is taken from the referenced press articles.

simply google the cited press references and you'll find the referenced articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fgmoore (talk • contribs) 16:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, Freddy, Freddy, Freddy. Don't you know that SineBot now automatically signs these entries for you if you ...*ahem*... forget to do so yourself? 172.136.165.91 (talk) 02:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

So what? It's not a COI for the article subject to comment on the Talk page... Proxy User (talk) 18:02, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion to merge Skogie and the Flaming Pachucos, Skogie (band), The Kats, The Nu Kats, Boy (1980s band) and The Kat Club with this biography

Well, it doesn't seem fair to the other 20 individual musicians that were members in those various bands, they deserve to be represented as full members of the bands they were in. Those bands were true bands, full partnerships, not back up bands. -Freddy Moore Fgmoore (talk) 22:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Marriage to Demi

Sources disagree as to whether they married in 1979 or 1980 (this bio states '80, hers states '79), and whether they divorced in 1984 or 1985. Best name (talk) 05:20, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Here are the facts: Moved in togther August 24, 1979. Married February 8, 1980. Divorced August 6, 1985. The relationship existed for 6 years (minus 16 days) - Freddy Moore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.17.15 (talk) 02:11, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

The lead sentence claimed Freddy Moore is "best known" as a former husband of Demi Moore. If this is true, he should not have an article. If he is notable for his own achievements in music, he should have an article. I've removed it from the beginning of the article as WP:UNDUE. If he's notable enough for a WP article, let him stand on his own notability, not that of his ex-wife. Rossrs (talk) 09:56, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

The article states that she was 18 when they were married, but her date of birth is listed as Nov 11, 1962. So in February 1980, she would've been 17. Should this be corrected? 192.249.47.179 (talk) 14:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Amazon Link in Article

Should there be an Amazon link in this article? I think not! 2003:D0:7F23:A700:554:79A5:D6B7:C487 (talk) 08:46, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
