This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Photo

I think we should use a different photo, because the photo we have now looks terrible. I think we should instead use his Brand New Congress photo, which I think looks way better. KRed221 (talk) 18:59, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KRed221, we're limited in the photos that we can used based on copyright policy. The BNC image may not be freely available. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:17, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Number of children

According to his Twitter feed, Feb 22, 2021, they are expecting another child: ^[1] 24.133.120.105 (talk) 17:01, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Until the child is born we will not update the number. Per WP:CRYSTAL, we don't know what the future holds. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 15:55, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Search Engine Thumbnail

The search engine thumbnail displays an image of KY State Rep. Pamela Stevenson, Charles Booker's immediate successor, and should be changed. 16dTt882b47GjFT3Vh (talk) 01:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We have no control over search engine thumbnails. Typically they refresh every few days/weeks, but maybe the one you're using got stuck. You'd have to take that up with the search engine. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 18:55, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Booker's DUI

Why was Charles Booker's DUI record removed? What you trying to hide? 2603:6010:8A00:3AA4:C8C5:2461:F09A:72AC (talk) 01:36, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced accusations of a crime are completely inappropriate for biography articles. Without reliable sources, such statements are inappropriate. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 00:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bingo. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:15, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I provided a link to his mugshot and charges. It was not an unsourced allegation. I have Booker's criminal background check in hand, there's much more than this including domestic violence charges. Would that suffice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:8A00:3AA4:416F:E2EE:2A71:5578 (talk) 11:31, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
