Portrait[edit]

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for Gore's main picture to be from 2017-18 instead of 1994? And move that '94 photo elsewhere on the page? AMWS (talk) 16:42, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

photograph[edit]

Can't you get a more recent photo? The guy is now 71 years old. dunnhaupt (talk) 20:41, 20 February 2019 (UTC)--

I think it's actually appropriate to have an older photo. We wouldn't want every deceased historical figure on Wikipedia to have a picture of them as a senior, so why should it be any different for BLPs? What makes sense to me is to have their portrait be of them during the time they were most well known or at the height of their career, which for Gore is clearly the 1990s. - Sdkb (talk) 04:42, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

I agree with an update on the photo. Mr. Gore is still active in public. There are many royalty-free photos that can serve. I am afraid of changing it because I see there is an editor using "we" as if...

Please change Alliance for Climate Protection to The Climate Reality Project 209.235.190.218 (talk) 17:14, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Partly done: Changed it in the lead where it mentioned "current chair", but not in history section where it talked about Alliance for Climate Protection's founding. --Trialpears (talk) 19:36, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

On early life[edit]

Al gore ancestors moving to Virginia in 17th century seems a bit strange, are you sure it's not the 18th? Nightblade2001 (talk) 05:46, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

@Nightblade2001: I checked the reference. 17th is correct.
