I was surprised that this article doesn't mention or link to the Green Bank Telescope, which is named after him. Should this be added? It wouldn't really be "In popular culture", so possibly as a career item? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nonsumqe (talk • contribs) 19:23, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are many things named after him. Too many to list. That's why there is a seperate article ilnked in the "See also" section just for them: List of places named after Robert Byrd.

Please update the name of the center in the article.

• • Change**: "Robert C. Byrd Center for Legislative Studies"
  • To**: "Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History and Education"

• • Reason**: The center officially changed its name in 2015. The current and correct name is "Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History and Education." This updated name is reflected on the center’s [official website](https://www.byrdcenter.org), and has been in use for several years. ByrdCenterStaff2025 (talk) 19:38, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ByrdCenterStaff2025 - Thanks for the update. I've edited the page to reflect the name change. Please see your talk page for issues with your username. — ERcheck (talk) 21:25, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
