Successors

Can not be a successor to other legislators that concurrently held office at times and that Mr. Kildee preceeding in hold office. Spshu (talk) 16:29, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They held different offices, so he certainly could succeed someone who held that office previously and simultaneously succeeded to a different office at the same time. But, in any case, your edits to the succession boxes are not unreasonable. They do help to clarify a source of confusion. older ≠ wiser 17:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited the succession boxes to reflect the "district successors," in order for consistency based on other articles. Kildee is listed as the predecessor and successor for several other representatives' articles. I also added footnotes to address Spshu's concerns, making it clear that these were successors based on the district number, rather than direct geographic succession. That's how Bart Stupak's article is addressed. With respect to the 5th district, Barcia was directly succeeded by Kildee by virtue of georgraphy and district number. Barcia's home was added to Kildee's district, which was then renumbered from 9th to 5th. If Barcia had opted to run for reelection rather than seek state-level office, he would have had to run against Kildee in a primary to keep his seat.Dcmacnut (talk) 18:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested move

Perhaps this page should be moved to Dale Kildee, as that is the name he is more commonly known by, and his official congressional website lists that name. -Conrad (talk) 04:04, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Kelly ^hi! 03:47, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse allegations

I added a brief mention that Kildee will be holding a press conference to address abuse allegations on November 21, as reported by the The Washington Times. It's best to get a neutral statement into the article, otherwise curious people will visit, and, seeing nothing, add statements that likely violate WP:BLP. Kelly ^hi! 03:47, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, my bad - discussion should likely be centralized at WP:BLPN#Dale Kildee. Apologies. Kelly ^hi! 03:51, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
