[edit] Untitled
What does the last line of the article mean? It reads:
- Much political speculation has surrounded Manchin's possible response should Robert C. Byrd die in office, but Manchin has consistantly refused comment on the subject.
-
- As Governor, Manchin would have the power to appoint a sentator to replace Byrd, should Byrd die in office. This applies to all senators, but I assume Byrd's age is why this comment was added. TOO 21:59, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] West Virginia's First Catholic Governor
This is a notable fact since Roman Catholics only represent 8% of West Virginia's population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.50.163.223 (talk) 14:06, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
- Do you have a citation from a reliable source that supports these assertions? Frank | talk 15:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

- I believe Wikipedia supports my assertions, based on demographics (8% are Catholics) and backtracking on each previous Governor's religion. I do trust Wikipedia. Here is a reliable source: http://thepublicsquare.blogspot.com/2005/03/west-virginia-gov-joe-manchin-joins.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.50.163.223 (talk) 04:34, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how Wikipedia can support your assertions; policy clearly speaks against Wikipedia using itself as a source. In addition, blogs - especially blatantly partisan ones - are generally not considered reliable sources. Having said all that, I'm not saying the information doesn't belong. I'm saying that it isn't automatically notable; if you can find citations that are from reliable sources to support both the assertion and the notion that it is actually notable, then it would be appropriate to put in.
