Talk:Franklin D. Roosevelt

message: Hey , if I may ask, what was your reasoning for removing the mention of the Tornado outbreak of April 12, 1945 in your condensing edit? Since there is no edit summary explanation, I thought it best to ask here.
The section removed was in the death section with the following text:
"
I will note, even the U.S. government acknowledged his death overshadowing the tornado (2nd source).

replies: text: Hi Weather Event Writer, this mention is important to the article on the subject of the tornado outbreak, but it's not particularly so for this article. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:36, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: If I may ask, why do you think it is not important to even mention? It was a circumstance that occurred at the same time as his death and it is documented that his death directly overshadowed one of the worst disasters in Oklahoma history. Obviously not the same magnitude or scale, but imagine if a death of a U.S. president overshadowed Hurricane Katrina's media coverage. To me, that at least warrants a mention (not much, just those few sentences) since his death resulted in something that RS cover fairly well. I would love to hear your thoughts on this though.

text:  Historians do not mention the tornado episode in their biographies.  It has its own page Tornado outbreak of April 12, 1945 & goes on the 1945 page. Rjensen (talk) 03:45, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: (Respectful comment) – So, biographies dictate what goes in this article? Publications in academic sources, non-biography books, or publications from the U.S. government cannot be sources in the article? Just asking, because that is the sources directly linking his death being the overshadow for the outbreak. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:49, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's an oversimplification; those types of sources most definitely could be used. The issue here is that the tornado isn't relevant to FDR himself. It's not like he perished in that. You'd be better off placing the overshadow bit in the tornado's page instead. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 03:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I'll continue to disagree, but I see that consensus says to keep it out of the article. Guess that solves that. Cheers y'all! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 04:00, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't know whether this is worth mentioning on FDR's bio page, but either way we can't use other Wikipedia articles as citations per WP:CIRCULAR. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 04:30, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

message: "In 1903, Franklin proposed to Eleanor. Following resistance from Roosevelt's mother, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were married on March 17, 1905."
They both had the same last name, so it's unclear who's mother resisted the marriage. 50.202.229.150 (talk) 16:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: This meant Sara, and I've changed "Roosevelt's" to "his" accordingly. It would be impossible for that to be Anna when she already had died long before the couple got together. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:18, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Change: “ The attack on Pearl Harbor raised concerns among the public regarding the possibility of sabotage by Japanese Americans. This suspicion was fed by long-standing racism against Japanese immigrants, as well as the findings of the Roberts Commission, which concluded that the attack on Pearl Harbor had been assisted by Japanese spies.” 
To: “…This suspicion was fed by long-standing racism against Japanese immigrants. Though there was no evidence in the Robert’s Commission, established to investigate the attack on Pearl Harbor, to support media speculation and racist, anti-Japanese political rhetoric from politicians like California Governor Cubert L. Olson, the Commission report was co-opted to falsely legitimize anti-Japanese sentiment and racial oppression.” VAGRANTPLATYPUS (talk) 09:34, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
