NPOV[edit]

I'm no expert on West Virginia, but I know enough about political writing and about Moore's career to see this as the best possible spin on someone who was widely regarded as corrupt long before he was sentenced to a 5-year prison term. Given that Moore's daughter is now an active politician who's running for state-wide office, it seems reasonable to suspect that her supporters have taken an interest in his page here, so as to minimize any flack she takes for his corruption. Is there somebeody with sufficient local knowledge to write a non-partisan revision of the page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.153.178.41 (talk)

Yes, it is pretty biased. I find the lack of info on the the Buffalo Creek flood to be disappointing as it was a very important event. I will see if I can write something about it once I find the appropriate references. Cikoykip 09:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"West Virginia lost a seat in Congress"[edit]

The phrase "West Virginia lost a seat in Congress" needs to be explained for people not familiar with the US political system that following a census the number of seats in the house of Representatives for each state is adjusted based on population. But I don't know how to fit this in. Perhaps as a foot note? RJFJR (talk) 22:34, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
