Talk:Roger Mudd

Correction of lineage

Just for the record, the correction I made was based on "Dr. Samuel Alexander Mudd and His Descendants", which Thomas B. Mudd contacted me about. Thomas is the "great-grandson of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, the Maryland physician who was wrongfully convicted of conspiring in the Lincoln assassination." -- Zanimum 14:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we can allow 'wrongfully'. Samuel Mudd's wiki-page says: Despite repeated attempts by family members and others to have it expunged, his conviction has never been overturned. Valetude (talk) 03:56, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

"Roger Mudd moment?"

I've read and heard the term "Roger Mudd moment" to describe a self-destructive utterance by a political candidate; any thoughts as to whether this should be added to this article or made a separate entry? Nhrenton 11:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

order of contents

The article seems to go to a summary (which is alright) but then starts with his latest achievements to his earliest achievements..seems unintuitive and confusing..

Roger at WTOP

I added the section about his moving to DC because I worked for WTOP for two years after he had moved to CBS and know the history. However, I am uncertain as to the year in which he began there. I'm happy to have it updated. WTOP was the launching pad for many successful network careeers, including that of Sam Donaldson and Steven Geer, both of which went to ABC News, and Harold (Hal) Walker, who was at CBS News for many years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdx photoman (talk • contribs) 18:15, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for doing that. WTOP is now WUSA Channel 9 in the Washington, D.C. area. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 05:19, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

PHOTO

We really need a photo and an infobox for this article. Mudd has been a huge personality, much like Walter Cronkite, and it would not do to have to run screaming trying to put together his biography when really stupid kids' bands are becoming FA articles! Sometimes I wonder about people's choices! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 05:19, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Was retired?

From the lede it seems like he was notable for being retired. Could the peculiar phrasing be fixed? thx. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 21:21, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Cimon Avaro, I read the lead again after reading your comment but did not read it the same way your are reading it. Many leads talk in past tense about the accomplishments or actions of an individual. I am trying to better understand how you would like the change to be made. What phrasing in particular would you like to see changed?

Terrible infobox picture

He was a very famous man, surely better photos are available.
