Major reversion

edit

I've just reverted a major rewrite of the article by User:Sparkfriend. In the rewrite's edit summary, the version to which I'm reverting was described as "inaccurate and incomplete". Unfortunately, the new version was excessively promotional and used a non-encyclopedic tone, and fixing it would have been a major project.

I'd like to suggest that User:Sparkfriend try again, but only after reading WP:NOTPROMOTION, Wikipedia:Encyclopedic_style#Information_style_and_tone, and WP:NRVE. The version I reverted failed all of those: it read like something that'd been put out by Moore's press agent; it was not written in an encyclopedic tone (among other things, numerous uses of "rockin'" and the insertion of a slogan in all-caps); and it relied heavily or exclusively on Moore's own website, with no use of reliable third-party sources.
