[edit] Name
Presumably 'Braun' was her husband's surname? With no mention of this, it looks amateurish as it goes from Moseley in the intro to Moseley Braun throughout. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MartinUK (talk • contribs) 10:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Middle Name 'Elizabeth'
When I saw Carol Elizabeth Moseley Braun redirected here I ran a search on the name, putting it in quotes. I am putting in her middle name and giving several sites where her full name is used. [1] [2] [3] [4]
[edit] Image
There's a black and white image, and a colour one. The black and white one is known US govt == public domain. The colour one was uploaded by ChrisDJackson, who has previously uploaded images where Wikipedia-specific permission was given (rather than GFDL, etc). Thus reverted to the known free image. If anyone has info on the colour image indicating that it too is free, please add it to the image description page. Thanks. Martin 22:28, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] No image now
The currently-linked photo is not there anymore... AnonMoos 17:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
The image shows up twice now. 204.11.150.154 22:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hyphenated Name?
Shouldn't the name be hyphenated (Moseley-Braun)? If so, does it matter? What is the wiki attitude on this kind of thing? Myron 20:15:27, 2005-08-10 (UTC)
- No, because if you look at her website, she doesn't use one. (Note: I have updated this comment.)
- However, she has used one in the past. (As I recall it, having lived in Illinois at the time:) Originally she was known as "Carol Moseley Braun" (no hyphen), and generally addressed as Braun, but some time before taking office she decided she preferred to be addressed as "Moseley Braun" instead. When she learned that Senate rules would mean she would be addressed as Senator/Ms. Braun; she added the hyphen so she would be called "Senator Moseley-Braun" instead. However, it appears now her last name is "Moseley Braun" (two words, no hyphen). ProhibitOnions 14:32, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Claims of vindication
The article contains many claims that the many allegations of misconduct against her stemming primarily from misuse of funds from her Senate campaign resulted in exoneration. There are no cites for this. In fact, the one cite on the matter specifically indicates that she was NOT fully exonerated (the audit report, stating 'exceptions' which are not listed). This topic should be addressed in a better way.
[edit] NPOV violation?
"Despite the fact that former Ambassadors are specifically enjoined from using their past positions for personal gain, Moseley Braun has launched a line of organic food products called Ambassador Organics.[3]" smacks of NPOV violation. What do you think? --lightspeedchick 03:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History 1999-now
There doesn't seem to be a good paragraph in the main article about what she was doing since leaving the senate, eg ambassor etc, could someone write a paragraph or two? - SimonLyall (talk) 04:38, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another Closet Atheist ?
She doesn´t seem to have anything to do with the Catholic Church.82.154.84.56 (talk) 01:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
