Talk:Mark Dayton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can anyone explain how he and Jay Rockefeller are brothers-in-law? The article says Dayton is not married. . . so he's not married to Rockefeller's sister or anything like that. The Rockefeller article says that his wife is Sharon Percy, the daughter of former US Senator Charles Percy. Doesn't seem like she and Dayton would be siblings. TMS63112 17:54, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Dayton's ex-wife, Alida Rockefeller Messinger, is Jay Rockefeller's sister. There probably should be some mention of her in the article. -- Jake 23:57, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

- Thanks for the clarification. I have updated the article accordingly. TMS63112 01:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Infoboxes
It is important to state the current state of events, not what will happen soon. As such, the Senator is still in office, and has not been succeeded yet. Stealthound 20:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball
Please consult this source, (Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball) before changing the "Succeeded by" sections of the article. This is the official position of wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, predicting what will happen in the future. As the Senator is still in office, the article should be left as it is. Thank you, Stealthound 08:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
