"Was" or "Is"

I understand that Sir Roger Moore is no longer living however his past achievements and facts are still current and the use of "was" is used wrong.

Prime example is "He was the third actor to play the British secret agent James Bond". To me this reads that he used to be - was - the third person to play James Bond but isn't anymore. "He is the third actor to play the British secret agent James Bond" does seem more grammatically correct - it is current, the fact is still valid and always will be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smifis (talk • contribs) 14:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why about the 1973 Academy Awards?

In 1973, Roger Moore and Liv Ullman were the hosts giving out the Academy Award for Best Actor, which Marlon Brando won for "The Godfather", however, he refused to accept protesting the movies treatment of Native Americans and sent Sasheen Littlefeather instead to accept it. Roger Moore left the stage holding the award which had a long journey back to the Academy Awards. Considering that is one of the most famous incidents to have occurred on the international TV broadcast; I think it should be mentioned somewhere in the article on Roger Moore. I would add myself, however, since it's protected, I am unable to do so. 204.80.61.132 (talk) 14:20, 23 May 2017 (UTC)Bennett Turk204.80.61.132 (talk) 14:20, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

College of Venerable Bede in Durham

In this interview with the Newcastle Chronicle he denied having been a student there.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/arts-culture-news/sir-roger-moore-remembers-co-12140786

It's not clear to me why durhamstudent.co.uk should be considered an authority on things that happened in 1945 - it seems more likely that they've just lifted it from Wikipedia (its inclusion on this page predates the source). On the Hild Bede College site itself the sources that he was a student are a site called rogermoore.org which is no longer active, and the Qatari government of all people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.237.234.26 (talk) 14:25, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Death monday, 22th may 2017 and not 23th may!

Source: "Er erlag bereits am Montag den Folgen einer Krebserkrankung." http://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/roger-moore-gestorben-101.html The mistake is a not dated announcement of his death by family via twitter on 23th. may. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.240.15.250 (talk) 14:42, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Missing movies

There are some missing films in the filmography section. Why is that? --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 15:08, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support for apartheid

Should Moore's close friendships with PW Botha and Ian Smith be mentioned in the article? (81.159.7.209 (talk) 16:20, 23 May 2017 (UTC))[reply]
