[edit] Moore's date of death

For some time this article has shown Moore's death date as December 1, 1977. A note recently posted by respected Negro League researcher Gary Ashwill concludes that this date is in error. Another, unrelated person named Walter James Moore, who was white, died in December 1977 in Georgia and was confused with Dobie Moore. (See [1].) A follow-up note concludes that Dobie Moore was very probably residing in Detroit in 1942, but no death date has been confirmed. ([2]) Based on this new information, I propose changing the death date shown in the article to "?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by BRMo (talkcontribs) 22:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
