Lyndon B. Johnson was a History good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||

Lead section
In the second paragraph of the lede, we have this sentence:
During the convention he came into conflict with the Democratic front-runner, fellow senator John F. Kennedy.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what the purpose of this sentence is. Conflict at the convention? Over what? They were competitors for the nomination, for Pete's sake. What is more of a conflict over that? Johnson had announced his candidacy weeks earlier, they had held a private debate with party leaders, so what is this talking about? Without even a link supporting the claim to help decipher its meaning, it makes no sense, and I'm going to take it out. Unschool 22:31, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
Johnson
Why is there no mention of LBJ's penis. Jack Upland (talk) 17:55, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- There have been discussions on it that are now in the talk archives. In short, the mere mention of LBJ's apparent flaunting of this appendage seems useless here, other than to tittilate. Dhtwiki (talk) 05:34, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- OK. But I think a contemporary bio would mention it, just as it would mention his height etc.--Jack Upland (talk) 05:43, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- There was a version that mentioned, in general, Johnson's ability to be quite vulgar, but I can't find it now. Dhtwiki (talk) 07:09, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 7 September 2022
In the "Vice-presidential nomination" section, please remove "(known as Bobby)", as "Bobby" is not used again for the remainder of the section or several sections after, while "Robert" is used about 15 times. 2001:BB6:4734:5658:19A9:2869:25BA:E844 (talk) 15:43, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Partly done: In this context, I think WP:COMMONNAME trumps WP:LASTNAME, and it makes more sense to consistently refer to him as "Bobby" in this section. People who lived in the Kennedy years universally recognize the name of the President's oldest younger brother. JustinTime55 (talk) 17:16, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
Vietnam
He was said to refer to it as his Bitch Mistress. https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Lyndon_Baines_Johnson Jokem (talk) 02:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
The Lyndon Johnson football player leads to a Redlink
I don’t have permissions to edit it myself but at the top where it says “Lyndon Johnson May also refer to the American Football player” it leads to a nonexistent link, I was wondering if it could be changed to lead to the football players wiki, or just be removed. Thank you Jason Ingtonn (talk) 17:51, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

This is an inaccurate birthdate. Not the 27th. It is the 26th. 2600:6C5A:4C7F:E0C7:6C4B:AD0F:7A04:296B (talk) 05:04, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
