Just wanted to let you know that I removed the word "politician" from the first paragraph. This word has a negative connotation and is slightly disrespectful. Since he is a current U.S. Representative, I thought that that should be mentioned first thing in the intro paragraph. -Brad Kgj08 ( talk) 18:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Someone added a "Controversy" section to the article describing a town hall meeting held by Rep. Castle at which a participate claimed President Obama's birth certificate is a forgery and he is not a U.S. Citizen. I do not think this rises to a notable level for inclusion in this article and gives undue weight to the issue, since it has nothing to do with a controversy surrounding Rep. Castle or his term in office. The only connection is that the event was a Mike Castle meeting. I suggest a more appropriate venue would be at Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories, where all controversial theories regarding his birth certificate's authenticity are discussed.

In my opinion this piece is most inappropriate in this article as the only relevance has it to Castle was he was a witness to it as he is many other things. If he had some response to it, perhaps it might be relevant, but there was none. It really has nothing to do with him and this note does not deserve inclusion in the wide range of all he has done and ought to be noted. This is not something he did or had any more to do with it than someone watching it on TV. It needs to be deleted entirely immediately. stilltim ( talk) 02:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
The Castle incident has become an important event and been referenced thousands of times - including hundred's of notable press reports in print and innumerable mentions on television from news shows to cable talk to Sunday morning press roundup's. Entertainmaint shows such as the comedy "The Daily Show" have also discussed the incident.

File:Castle, Thornburgh, and Weinberger at the Pentagon, July 6, 1982.JPEG is reversed and should probably be flipped the other way. Also, the caption is incorrect as the Pentagon is not in Washington, DC. -- Rajah ( talk) 15:17, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
On the specal election it should be noted that he showed disrespect to Christine O'Donnell by not calling her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.142.59 ( talk) 01:16, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Request order of precedence box be amended as follows: Calvert ]<bk><sm>R [Califonia; years 85th; Clyburn ]<bk><sm>D [South Carolina. They are 84-85-86; whoever input them got the uprights backward and I've been swapping them as I add parties & linked states. HI Abercrombie resigned to run for governor, don't remember who else left. Thanks.

Mike Castle –
WP:COMMONNAME and
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Castle has been popularly known as "Mike" throughout his political career, for instance these
United Press International stories from
1984 and
1988. More recently in 2010 when Castle ran for US Senate, media referred to him as Mike: specifically
Daily Beast;
ABC;
NPR.
Also, Castle the politician is much more well known than the obscure Mike Castle (actor). Arbor to SJ ( talk) 23:34, 29 July 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. DrStrauss talk 10:20, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
