Talk:Ethel Kennedy

message: What an awful picture of Ethel Skakel.  She is tertiary to George Bush and Robert Kennedy in this photo.
If you have a better picture free of copyright to upload, then, by all means, do so. Otherwise, it's pointless to complain. Daphoenyx (talk) 15:43, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Loyalty?

message: Two references to Ethel's Catholicism in the article seem puzzling and should therefore perhaps be regarded skeptically. One statement suggests that her Catholicism supports her alleged opposition to the teaching of evolution, when the Catholic Church does not oppose, and has not recently opposed, the teaching of evolution. The other statement implies that Catholicism forbids a widow to remarry, which is certainly not the case. Either Mrs. Kennedy misunderstands her own faith, or the assertions in the article are misleading or inaccurate.

message: It is stated in the article text that she was born in Crack, Iowa, while in the right page chart it's written Chicago, Illinois... Anyone who can clear this up? Daphoenyx (talk) 15:40, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Place of birth

message: At the risk of upsetting the editor who placed it there, I removed a recent color photo of Ethel Kennedy from this article.  The article itself is not that big, and it is my opinion that too many photos overwhelm the article.  If the article was a little larger and had an appropriate place for another newer photo of her, it could be placed in the article again.  Of course, some may disagree with me.  Would be more than willing to see some comments on this.  Lhb1239 (talk) 00:27, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

message: "Ethel met Robert F. Kennedy during a ski trip to Mont Tremblant Resort in Quebec, Canada during the winter of 1945."  This seems to contradict the account in Evan Thomas's book (referenced in note 7) which seems to indicate they met when she was a volunteer for John F. Kennedy's congressional campaign (p. 56; Jean Kennedy, her college roommate had brought her along in spring of 1946.) 173.17.26.178 (talk) 02:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: How/when she and her husband met

message: The article as currently written refers to her husband as "Bobby," which seems inappropriate. This would imply the anonymous author(s) knew him personally, which is unlikely, and it does not read like an encyclopedia should. Thus, I am changing the name to Robert throughout.Catherinejarvis (talk) 18:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

message: In the section titled "Children," I am going to remove three sentences about the media's opinion of her parenting style, which seem pointless and derogatory. Mrs. Kennedy is a private citizen never elected to anything, and what strangers think of her parenting is not relevant.Princetoniac (talk) 21:59, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
