[edit] Facts

Wow, it's tough to find hard facts about this guy! I haven't been able to find dates of graduation, etc., and even a simple date of birth has eluded me.--BillFlis 00:11, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname

OK, somebody, maybe it was a vandal, put the name "Nuts" after his name, which somebody else quickly removed. But it raises the question, does this guy have a nickname? Doesn't anybody even call him "Mike"? I've never heard him called by anything but his full name, middle initial and all, "Michael A. Nutter". What's with that?--BillFlis 00:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move

Page moved from "Michael A. Nutter" to "Michael Nutter". Nutter is almost always referred to, both on Wikipedia and elsewhere, without his middle initial. --Tsk070 03:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

• Perhaps you should have asked before making the move? --evrik ^(talk) 14:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Biography assessment rating comment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 00:07, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mayor-elect until sworn in

Please note that now that he has been elected, Michael Nutter should be treated as mayor-elect, and not as incumbent mayor, until he is sworn in in January. Once he is sworn in, he can be referred to as an incumbent mayor, but not until then. --Tsk070 04:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rapping?

I'm not sure if this should be included on the page. He does rap pretty well, I must say. --Sharkface217 06:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

• It definitely doesn't merit its own section, but perhaps it could be included in a larger "trivia" section. --Tsk070 (talk) 18:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Birth year confusion

I just corrected the info box. It had said 1956, yet opening paragraph said 1957. It's definitely 1957, because his birth date is in June, and in the spring of 2007, in a mayoral candidates' debate, he declared, "I've been black for 49 years". Hurmata (talk) 02:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
