[edit] Bush administration reprisals?
User:132.241.245.49 has added Category:Targets of alleged Bush administration reprisals to this article. Mel Carnahan died in October 2000 and the Bush administration did not begin until January 2001. Therefore, I don't understand how this category could possibly be applicable. I'm also not certain what alleged incidents, the tag refers to. Do other editors have thoughts on this matter? TMS63112 07:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
The above is simply "Bush bashing" and political sour grapes.
In the Political career there is no mention of the covert Proposition B campaign and his pledge to remain neutral. Or that Judith Moriarty (Secretary of State) was impeached and his appointment of Rebecca Cook in 1994.
It was the first time that a dead man had ever been elected to Senate. Mrs. Carnahan appointment to the Senate was allowed without protest?
Legal action taken by Jean Carnahan (plane crash) to later finance the political ambitions? Which friendly judge heard that case?
Instrument rated pilot flying out of a rain storm can't read the properly functioning instruments?

- The legal procedure was followed in 2000. No protests would have been valid. As the entry states, it was too late to remove Carnahan from the ballot, and the procedure in place was for the Lt Gov to appoint if necessary. Some have commented that the Lt. Governor wasn't required to appoint Jean Carnahan, and the promise before the election that he would do that was just that -- a promise. One he did not break, though. Any conspiracy theories regarding Jean Carnahan would belong on her talk page. Gavroche42 03:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] References
Hi. This article needs to conform to Wikipedia requirements re: references/sources - one external link about the plane crash is not enough. Then perhaps someone might assess the article, but not until then. I've put a tag in the article, which can be removed when references are supplied. Thanks.

- I have added a link to the Missouri State Treasurer's Biography on Mel Carnahan which appears to verify at least some of the information in this article. --TommyBoy (talk) 06:21, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

- Following up on my addition of a reference for this article, I have tagged the article for lack of in-line citations because I am not well-versed in the formatting of in-line citations on Wikipedia. If another user more familiar with that process could add in-line citations using the reference I provided, I would appreciate it. --TommyBoy (talk) 06:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

- With only a single reference to cover all the information in the article, it's impossible to inline it. It's formatted correctly until such time as alternative or extra references are found.

- Also, did you realise that the death date in the article (unsourced) was October 16, 2000? The death date according to the reference is October 17, 2000, and I have amended the article accordingly. If anyone believes that it was the 16th they can change it back, but only if they insert a really reliable reference to support it. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 12:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
