Should we put the JFKennedy in it?

[edit]

I think it would be a good idea to add the JFKennedy word into the article and not just the other name as mentioned before. GenerationZ2024 (talk) 00:50, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where would it go? I've seen the guy referred to by his initials (JFK) and as John F. Kennedy, but never JFKennedy until you posted that here. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:57, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. His vice president, Lyndon B. Johnson, assumed the presidency. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination, but he was shot and killed by Jack Ruby two days later. The FBI and the Warren Commission both concluded Oswald had acted alone, but conspiracy theories about the assassination persist. After Kennedy's death, Congress enacted many of his proposals, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Revenue Act of 1964. Kennedy ranks highly in polls of U.S. presidents with historians and the general public. His personal life has been the focus of considerable sustained interest following public revelations in the 1970s of his chronic health ailments and extramarital affairs. Kennedy is the most recent U.S. president to have died in office.

wtf does abrha mean? Fefehrthyh (talk) 17:10, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to have just been stray text added to the top of this page by accident, and either way has been removed. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:27, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Children

[edit]

The info box claims JFK had 4 children. Hmmm. What is Wikipedia's policy on counting still-borns? IF the policy is to include still-borns, how about miscarriages? Anyway, the fact that Arabella was stillborn and Patrick lived only 2 days and that only Caroline is alive today (Jr died at 38 in '99) is material, imho.98.17.180.146 (talk) 16:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arrgh! I forgot to add: if it's policy to include stillborns, (even if it is only based on the mother's religious beliefs), then her name ought to be included along with her siblings. Back then "life begins at birth" wasn't as controversial as it is today.98.17.180.146 (talk) 17:00, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Stillbirths DO count as children, regardless of religious affiliations. Miscarriages are medically not the same thing and (as far as I know) have never been counted towards one's children totals. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:03, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
