Ryan Moran[edit]

Why is he listed as an endorsement for Petersen? He seems like a non-notable blogger to me. He's linked in the Petersen page itself too, so I'll post a link there directing people here. But shouldn't we have a template for endorsements that's transcluded? That would make things a lot easier. Smartyllama (talk) 12:33, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As Moran now has his own article (he didn't when I posted this), I have no further objection. In my opinion that should be the standard for individual endorsements, and Moran now meets it. If people feel Moran is not notable enough for his own article, AfD is the appropriate venue, not this. Smartyllama (talk) 14:29, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And it appears someone has done just that. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Moran. In the event that is closed as delete, I feel the Moran endorsement should be removed as non-notable, but that is the appropriate venue for now, not here. If and when it's deleted, we can revisit the issue. Smartyllama (talk) 14:31, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Japheth Campbell being labeled in Libertarian primary as endorsing Austin Petersen[edit]

Let's get this straight. It was not an endorsement. Since the Libertarian primary was uncontested, he recommended that people pull a Republican ballot and cast a vote for Petersen. It is a recommendation, not an endorsement. To avoid any further confusion, it will be removed -- or it needs to be reflected that it was only a recommendation. Thanks.

Green Party primary missing[edit]

The Missouri Green Party also held a primary on 8/7: Jo Crain won the primary.

Results[edit]

Russian Hacking[edit]

I disagree with this edit by User:power~enwiki. While the wording may require some work, the hack on her is essential for the article. Clearly WP:N and received national coverage.Casprings (talk) 23:18, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lauderdale[edit]

The way that he is listed as an endorser of Peterson makes it sound either like he was on the St. Charles County Council (he wasn't) or that he is originally from St. Charles County (he is); otherwise "Committeeman in St Charles County" is extremely vague. The given citation to a published tweet also leads to a dead link. His LinkedIn account does attempt to fill in this gap by claiming to have been Secretary for the Committee on Higher Education in the Missouri House of Representatives legislative years 2017-2019, but as he has never been successfully voted into office, I cannot find record of his involvement in any capacity other than being a student intern for Rep. Lichtenegger of MO District 146 (Cape Girardeau), who was Chair of the committee from 2013-2019.

Given the above information, I would recommend deleting this entry as he is non-notable.
