[edit] Alvin Brooks' campaign

I deleted the final graph starting "His opponent in the contest Alvin Brooks had focused..." This graph had nothing to add to the Funkhouser article. May I suggest some intrepid WikiProject Missouri member start an entry for Brooks instead? Harropc 21:44, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I disagree with that edit. Both sides of an election are pertinent (especially since Brook was depicted as the status quo while Funkhouser was going to change things). The edit even deleted the opponent! By the same logic on a national level any mention of the opponents of a President should also not be included in their biographies.

Very much agreed with Americasroof: For the reader to have some grasp of the reason why Funkhouser won, it is necessary to at least A)include his opponent, but more importantly B)include their differences in platform. Covering both realms is the first step in making sure there is adequate information to properly inform the reader as to why Funkhouser is now the mayor. Auror 14:46, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Which county in WV?

I'm sorting the "People from West Virginia" category into counties and came across this article. From his myspace, I see that he is from Paden City, which is split between Tyler and Wetzel Counties. Does anyone know which one he is from? Thanks for the help. y'amer'can (wtf?) 22:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
