Not from a moderator?[edit]

I realize that this is essentially original research, but how can we say that "The Democratic Party installment was the first presidential debate to have a question that did not come from a moderator"? Anyone familiar with the 2004 presidential elections knows that the second debate had questions written and asked by members of the audience, albeit questions that were preselected by a moderator. If you are not familiar with this debate, please see United States presidential election debates, 2004#Second presidential debate — 8 October and write back with your opinion.

After looking at the statement and your comment, I reworded it so it would clearer. Here is the new version of it: The Democratic Party installment was the first presidential debate to have a question asked by someone other than a moderator. Pants(T) 19:11, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's still not true; the questions in the 2004 "town hall" debate were asked by the audience members themselves. BassoProfundo 20:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I removed it, even though it had a source. The article (Reuters) must have had a mistake. Pants(T) 23:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

  • Consider adding more links to the article; per WP:MOS-L and WP:BTW, create links to relevant articles.

  • This article does not have any categories. Please categorize it with relevant [[Category:Categories]].
  • Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
    • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
  • Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.
