message: I'm pretty sure she has kids, or at least a kid. I remember her talking about having a daughter who got a scholarship for college, but the scholarship didn't pay for everything. I'm just saying... 76.193.177.51 (talk) 23:10, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This Q and A has her saying this: "My oldest child is a neurosurgeon and just married a rheumatologist... My youngest son is the one in the band (Vinyette ) in New York... I have two step children who I love and adore. My daughter still dabbles at being a news producer, but she is mostly a Mom these days. Her brother lives way too far away in Kansas with his three children." I couldn't figure out a way to distill that into a neat sentence or two, but I agree we should mention children and grandkids under the personal life section. I'll keep an eye out for another source.

message: The information on Crowley's presidental debate is misleading and misinformation. The following link shows Crowley's post debate interview in which she clarifies Romney was correct on Libya, however he used the wrong choice of words.
The information is not fair and balanced at this point, clearly biased in an Obama supporter stance.

replies: text: I think it would be sufficient for now if an admin would simply remove the stray "ref" tag at the end of the section.  The protection will be lifted in 48 hours, and in that length of time there will be a vast array of sourcing to choose from in pursuit of completeness and balance.

message: I believe the last paragraph should be updated as follows.  This change will portray a more complete and balanced description of the moment from Crowley's debate participation that will be remembered the most.  I also suggest the removal of the comments about CNN because this article is not about CNN, and there is universal consensus that Crowley's fact-checking was technically correct.
On October 16, 2012, Ms. Crowley served as an independent moderator of the second presidential debate. Notably, Ms. Crowley several times spoke up to steer the conversation back towards the questions asked by voters and corrected the record - for example, when Governor Romney repeatedly accused President Obama of lying when the President said that he had called the Libya embassy attacks an "act of terror" during his speech to the American people from the Rose Garden the day after the attacks, Ms. Crowley intervened to point out that President Obama had in fact made such a statement.   Perhaps in an attempt to level the playing field, she then acknowledged Governor Romney's point that the Obama administration took two weeks to acknowledge that the Libya incident was a planned terrorist attack, rather than a demonstration in response to an offensive film, as initially claimed by the Obama White House. Critics - mostly conservative - lamented that it was not Crowley's role to play "fact checker" during the debate, as it compromised the objectivity of her role as moderator.

replies: text: I don't think this is completely neutral, although your attempts to make it neutral are clear and appreciated. You're using too many loaded words. I think the best move at this point is really to wait a day or two before editing. But since I don't see that happening, here's my attempt at this. It's lighter, but I think this'll help avoid edit wars, and it does have the important information.
On October 16, 2012, Ms. Crowley served as an independent moderator of the second presidential debate. Ms. Crowley several times spoke up to steer the conversation back towards the questions asked by voters, to stop the candidates when they exceeded their time, and notably interjected when Governor Romney accused President Obama of lying when the President said that he had called the Libya embassy attacks an "act of terror" during his speech to the American people from the Rose Garden the day after the attacks. Ms. Crowley intervened to state that President Obama had in fact made such a statement.

message: Strange statement. Needs rewording. If she is divorced, she doesn't have a husband. Or, is it saying she is married to a man, and each of them are divorced from other people? Also, she is not made of candy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.48.88 (talk) 04:07, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I added that, and I wrote it quickly, with the expectation that others can improve wording. It seems redundant to say that she and her "ex-husband" are divorced. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:44, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Where is the source that says that Candy Crowley's parents were first-generation Mexican-American immigrants? The reference for that sentence actually has her saying that her father was born in Missouri and lived there for most of his life except a brief move to Michigan, during which she was born.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julyo (talk • contribs) 07:19, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

message: It bothers me somewhat that two small controversies constitute such a large portion of this article. This seems to be a violation of Wikipedia's core policy of WP:NPOV, in particular the section on undue weight. I propose that the material on controversies be trimmed a bit, in particular the part about CNN airing unedited footage that named the rape victim, since it's not evident that Crowley was directly involved in that decision. And I further propose adding some of the positive material characterizing her career that's in this 2009 LA Times profile.  TimidGuy (talk) 10:57, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I deleted the Steubenville section since it is more of a general media issue and not relevant to Crowley herself. The 2012 presidential debate should remain as it is though since it isn't a controversy. Please go ahead and add from that LA Times article. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:13, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
