Talk:Joseph P. Kennedy II

message: Five paragraphs here, of which the last two are longest - unsurprising, encompassing as they do an extended commentary on the comparative theologies of annulment in the Roman Catholic and Episcopelian faiths, together with some remarks on the jurisprudence of appeal in Rome's ecclesiastical courts. A person's first marriage ending twenty years ago merits no commentary or even notice, so two more paragraphs of aspersions cast on the sincerity of Kennedy's religious faith and practice is funhouse-mirror disproportionate.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.37.85.237 (talk) 10:37, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: EXTREME BIAS IN THIS ARTICLE

message: Did he actually graduate from Manter Hall School? I went there for three years (1971-74), and I recall that he showed up briefly and was then expelled for starting fights. --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:11, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: According to footnote [3] he graduated from Manter Hall.  Further on, the article states "He had a troubled youth, and was expelled from several private schools as a result of his quick temper. He regularly got into fights with his younger brothers and male cousins", so starting fights at Manter would not be a big stretch, assuming a reliable source.  At least one (uncited) book states "but he eventually earned his high school diploma from the Manter Hall Tutoring School in Cambridge".  Cheers, CliffC (talk) 19:36, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I guess that's why I didn't see him in classes after he got kicked out. They tutored him off-campus. --Uncle Ed (talk) 03:35, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: High School

message: Citation 37 for the statement "As of 2007, Kennedy's salary was $575,000 per year.[36][37]" doesn't mention this salary. I couldn't find citation 36 to verify. After a quick Google I can find figures of 400K to 800K for years after 2000 but nothing with a source. There is Joe's statement in 2007 of $60K ("As for questioning my $60,000 salary for administering a $60 million program...", http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/archive/x646407302).  Citizen's Energy Corp's public filings should provide total salaries and at least provide an upper limit to speculation. Anyway, can someone verify this figure?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.223.103 (talk) 20:37, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch.  I found a citable salary figure ($596,988 in 2010) and got rid of the other citations.  The NY Times article cited said nothing about salary and was probably the wrong citation all along.  Cheers, CliffC (talk) 21:44, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The line:  During the last two years, Citgo donated eighty-three million gallons of oil, which was used to provide heating assistance to an estimated 200,000 families a year in twenty-three states.[46]
The last two years from when?  The reference seems to indicate 2007-2008?98.229.2.88 (talk) 01:04, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
