Talk:Assassination of John F. Kennedy

The Rifle

Can we please clarify this? The Lee Harvey Oswald still states it as an... M-C [doing so because I don't know how to spell it] rifle when this article says it's just the C. Car-something. Mr. Raptor (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I think the article is clear. In the "Carcano rifle" section, it clearly states that 'Mannlicher-Carcano' is not the correct name, and that the correct name is simple Carcano. If a reader wants to know from where the confusion comes, then the reader can follow wikilinks to find out. The origin of the misnomer is of no relevance to the subject. --Legion fi (talk) 06:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

"...as Mrs. Kennedy put her arms around him in concern."

Don't you think 'concern' is an understated way to put it when he had just been shot in the neck? Zazaban (talk) 07:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Mrs. Kennedy did not know that her husband had been shot through the neck. He had more of a puzzled look on his face than anything else, as she described it in her testimony to the Warren Commission:

Mrs. KENNEDY. I was looking this way, to the left, and I heard these terrible noises. You know. And my husband never made any sound. So I turned to the right. And all I remember is seeing my husband, he had this sort of quizzical look on his face, and his hand was up, it must have been his left hand.

Connally's words

When Governor Connally was shot the articles states that he shouted My God, THEY are going to kill us all. The word they is very significant. That single word indicated that bullets were coming from one than one direction-and gun. More proof that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone.--jeanne (talk) 06:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Flimsy. Badger Drink (talk) 20:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

you all need grammar lessons

from the introductory paragraph: "though none of these theories has been proven"

correction: "though none of these theories HAVE been proven"

reminds of the type of grammar you'd find in a lolcat picture.

Why the hell can't I edit this page? It's horribly written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 42WonkotheSane (talk • contribs) 18:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

"Has" is correct, as the subject of the sentence is the indefinite pronoun "none". "Theories" is merely the culimination of the noun phrase. See the bottom of #1, here Perhaps you've been reading a few too many of those lolcat pictures? Badger Drink (talk) 20:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Per Merriam-Webster, the pronoun "none" can take a singular or a plural verb. If anything, a singular verb is slightly preferred. So, "none of these theories has been proven" is correct grammar. You cannot edit the article at present because you are newly registered. It is a precaution to prevent vandalism. This article is among those that were frequently the target of vandalism.

Earwitness tabulation

The earwitness tabulation used here comes from the study done by Professor John McAdams of Marquette University, summarized here. Dr. McAdams has indicated to me that he plans to change the status of Dallas police officer Joe Murphy, removing him from the "knoll" earwitnesses. I have temporarily placed Murphy in a new category "either knoll or Depository", waiting to see how Dr. McAdams will reclassify him. — Walloon (talk) 01:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Lee Harvy Oswald did not kill John F Kenedy. First of all he was not shot from the libraray. But from the grassy nole. Sevral witnesses support this thery. Dispit unsibstansial evidence found by the gouvernment Lee Harvy oswald was wronly killed. If anyone actually thought about it. It was impossible to be shot through the head from obove the third floor of the library. Omung the witnesses that say he was shot from the grassy nole was a couple walking with there children. They were infront of the grassy nole and they saw a man with a gun behond them. They pushed there children to the ground and lay on top of them. That by itself diserved further investigation. This is very substancial reason why I not only belive but I know that it was not Harvey who killed Kenedy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.54.160 (talk) 18:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Well yes Oswald was wrongly killed because he was murdered by Jack Ruby. Not going to comment on the rest because it has been extensively investigated elsewhere. – ukexpat (talk) 19:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

The couple with children were the Newmans, and they never claimed to have seen a man with a gun anywhere. — Walloon (talk) 05:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Drawing depicting the posterior head wound of President Kennedy. Made from an autopsy photograph

This drawing is nothing like the photos why isnt this covered?

How about the actualphotos?--203.192.91.4 (talk) 16:38, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

The drawing is very much like the photo it was made from. The autopsy photographs are not in the public domain. — Walloon (talk) 01:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Image needed of Lee Harvey Oswald

There should be an image of Oswald on this article. Do any of the other editors object to a picture of Oswald being added?--jeanne (talk) 08:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Adlai Stevenson

The article should mention that Adlai Stevenson, who had been assaulted in Dallas just a month prior to the presidental assassination by an anti-United Nations protestor, had advised Kennedy not to visit Dallas.--jeanne (talk) 08:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
