message: The first sentence of this article states that King was a "prominent influence on the music of the 1960s." However, there is no evidence anywhere in the article that supports the notion that King was a musician or had any association with or influence on the music of the 1960's. If no reliable information can be found to expand upon the statement, it must be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.109.60.157 (talk) 00:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I had the impression that Daddy King was also the final speaker at the 1968 Democratic Convention, and that what had been supposed to be a quiet ending blessing in fact turned into a "stem-winder"  (Gore Vidal maybe?) that started around midnight, thanks to the police riot, and went on loo-ong past midnight, to a small but standing and cheering crowd.
 
"Daddy King," btw, was his fond nickname in some church circles at around that time -- when I was office manager of a church operated research operation in Washington, D.C.

message: I am conducting an independent study of Martin Luther King and Dr Martin Luther King Jr.  Why is the focus on Martin Luther King Sr. on the son and not the father.  The page reports incidents out of order and lack evidence of integrity in editing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.62.104.101 (talk) 22:24, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

message: The article's summary section lists King as a Republican. But the article says he was only Republican up until the JFK years, when he supported Kennedy. 2600:6C56:7900:36C:54EA:C679:B4B9:447A (talk) 06:38, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

message: MLK, Sr. was born in 1897 according to the Stanford Archive that is cited on this page, but the wikipedia page incorrectly states 1899. This year is also now incorrectly used on other web sources who have pulled the information from wikipedia. 2600:1700:15D0:AA0:1046:C08D:6D6:9CC3 (talk) 23:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect Birth Year 

message: The current version gives King's 1934 attendance of the Baptist World Alliance and his respect for Martin Luther as the inspiration for his changing both his and his son's name to Martin Luther King. I have just seen a claim that King himself, in his book, Daddy King: an Autobiography says:
If that's true then it would seem that neither King was named after the 16th century German reformer at all. I have not read the book, so I can't verify the quote, but if it's there then it seems like it should at least be mentioned in the article. Perhaps someone who has read it or has ready access to it can look into it and possibly edit the article accordingly. Beetfarm Louie (talk) 22:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
