message: It is questioned whether or not Lee Oswald actually shot at General Walker:
"PLAYBOY: If Oswald wasn't a leftist, what motivation would he have had for shooting at another right-winger, Major General Edwin Walker, eight months before the assassination?
GARRISON: If he did it, his motive -- which is to say the motive of those behind him -- was a simple one: to ensure that after the assassination, people would ask this very question and assume that because Oswald had shot at General Walker, he must have been a left-winger. It was just another part of Oswald's cover; if you defect to Russia, pass out pro-Castro leaflets on street corners and take a pot shot at General Walker, who on earth would doubt you're a Communist? Of course, if you really look deeply into this incident, there is no real proof that Oswald was the man who did it; the whole charge rests on the unsupported testimony of Marina Oswald, after she had been threatened with deportation if she didn't "cooperate." It makes little difference, though, whether this incident was prepared in advance to create a cover for Oswald or fabricated after the assassination to strengthen his public image as a Marxist."

message: There is nothing on the article about that. The lewd conduct convictions suggest he was homosexual, but he was very conservative, which seriously conflicts with being anything other than straight. Can anyone clarify? F W Nietzsche (talk) 10:10, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Being "very conservative" may be correlated with remaining "in the closet," but I suspect there is little correlation with being gay or not (for example, see Ernst Röhm).  That said, there isn't much of his private life here and it could be expanded. (John User:Jwy talk) 16:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is so easy on Walker and his tie-in to Military Intelligence, as were many of the Dallas Police Department. He is a definite possible co-conspirator. C'mon--this is why I don't give Wikipedia any financial support--you've become just another bad source of history, redacted by the right-wingers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.49.133 (talk) 19:34, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

message: This article incorrectly refers to my father, Michael Kelly, as an editor at The New York Times. He was an editor, and worked for The New York Times as a journalist, but as far as I know was never an editor there. (His NYT obit refers to him as "A former Washington correspondent for The New York Times".) There's a number of things that could replace ; I think the best would be just , although  would work too, or any of a number of job descriptions that can be drawn from his article.
For what it's worth, I think my grandfather's name is likely redlinkable, but that's just a suggestion, not a request. (Per , the COMMONNAME is probably Tom Kelly (journalist) over Thomas V. Kelly, but either would be valid.)  -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 06:20, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
