Why is he considered a sociopath by various people? Can someone please add information about his character in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.253.186.62 ( talk) 16:48, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Probably due to the antics of 4chan users, there seems to be inconsistent naming in the article. Half the time, Poole is referred to as "moot" and the other half the time as Poole. Someone might want to fix this up.
Beaver225 ( talk) 04:31, 28 August 2011 (UTC) I agree, I also think that it should always be moot no every Moot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.48.116.196 ( talk) 02:52, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
I vote for naming him 'moot' as this is the name he is most known by in the business; you wouldn't name the 'Lady Gaga' page 'Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.' These are both pseudonyms but both people are known quite more by the pseudonym, so it wouldn't be totally out of the question. -- Kooperfan ( talk) 17:39, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2061265/Facebook-rival-Diasporas-founder-Ilya-Zhitomirskiy-dies-22.html this identifies Poole's age when he started 4chan at 15. I don't know if that is accurate (I doubt it), but if it is... that would make him 23 174.6.201.84 ( talk) 04:05, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
In moots own words, he claims himself to be of roman Catholic origin, although not religious at all.
I find this of interest to put in due to numerous claims of moot being Jewish in origin, whilst in fact, he is not.
The comment was quoted from a pinned up topic in the 4chan discussion section, from which moot posts frequently.
"Just on paper. I was baptized Roman Catholic but never received the Sacrament of Confirmation, and am not religious at all." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.183.1.93 ( talk) 14:37, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
moot mentioned again last night in his final Q&A, that he is not Jewish. Due a large amount of people claiming that moot is Jewish (much of the time for antisemitic purpose), this was one of the questions in his final Q&A session that he chose to answer. The Q&A is available as an 8 hour audio recording on YouTube under the title "moot's final 4chan Q&A" and you can find confirmation from him about this at 04:11:55. Because people keep bring it up (as moot says in the audio) and because he chose to address this in the final Q&A, is this not worthy of being documented on Wikipedia? if not only to debunk much of the antisemitic banter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.102.253.11 ( talk) 11:55, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Calling bullshit on the final line of Impact and activity (referencing [19] and [20]). [20] in particular is clearly rubbish. Would delete it myself but the article's 'protected'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.148.46.55 ( talk • contribs) 15:26, September 10, 2013
In the lede, shouldn't there be a very brief explanation in parentheses explaining what 4chan and Canvas are? Many editors may already know this, but at least a few readers would appreciate it if they didn't have to go look it up.__ 209.179.93.170 ( talk) 00:47, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

He's been in court and yet all the use is this obvious 4chan in-joke fake name. Really odd. I have looked and only found rumors as to his actual name. I'd think being in court he would use his actual name but I guess not. Are you ready for IPv6? ( talk) 08:23, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Supposedly he was hired in March 2016 but nobody knows what he does, and he doesn't seem to have posted anything since. Why did they hire him? What does he do? Equinox ◑ 03:07, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Some of the archive.org links got deleted and are no longer valid. I would switch them to the links listed here. In addition to that, https://4chan.org/news now points to the /news/ board, completely unrelated to 4chan news. It should be switched to https://4chan.org/4channews.php

Christopher Poole was recently charged with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. This should probably be added to the Legal Matters section 2600:1004:B0A1:8344:84FC:108F:44F:6173 ( talk) 01:15, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
I went ahead and added it. Found multiple sources on Google News. Sad. Iuploadscatpics ( talk) 09:17, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
(about Poole being hired at Google)
The CNBC article mentions that some Google employees and "industry workers" have criticized the hiring. There is only one link under the word "criticized" that links to an opinion piece by one website, namely, modelviewculture.com (owned by a "Feminist Technology Collective"), that clearly is an opinion website and not a news source.
Since this is only an opinion held by a single individual, who (at least according to the article is not a Google employee), I suggest at the very least changing the sentence to, "a decision that was criticized by some". I do not see any mention of anger in any of the cited sources, let alone from Google employees specifically.
Ideally, I think this part should be removed altogether since the CNBC article is too vague on this; it is not clear who said what exactly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D7YU ( talk • contribs) 15:03, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
