"He is the fourth member of the Kennedy family to seek the presidency"

This may be stated by several outlets, but it is false. He is at least the fifth. In addition to JFK, RFK Sr., and Ted Kennedy there was also Kennedy in-law Sargent Shriver, who ran for president in 1976. SecretName101 (talk) 08:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fact check "chaos agent"

The headline of article used makes it sound like they are saying Steve Bannon recruited Kennedy as a candidate and then said Kennedy is a "chaos agent". But the article actually says "People familiar with the matter told the outlet that Bannon hoped Kennedy could serve as a "useful chaos agent" in the election while also spreading "anti-vaccine sentiment around the country," according to CBS News' Robert Costa." So it changes from Steve Bannon in the wikipedia page and headline to "people familiar with the matter according to CBS News' Robert Costa" which is not Steve Bannon.

This has been fixed. Some of the MSM language around this bordered on defamatory, coming close to suggesting Bannon had somehow advised or financed him. - Tzaquiel (talk) 20:41, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources

Should this article contain lengthy statements by RFK that are purely primarily-sourced? I don't like reverting so I'm bringing it here. DFlhb (talk) 14:47, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the most part, no. Short quotes can be acceptable and useful if they help supplement existing prose. But lengthy paragraph quotes are unnecessary and can border on political advertising. Woko Sapien (talk) 18:41, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Left and right

stating that he wishes to bridge the divide between left and right in the country is clearly the better, NPOV wording. --Hob Gadling (talk) 05:55, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Finding some middle ground

I've reverted much of the previous editing spree, which removed relevant and sourced material without any explanation and left this page a borderline advertisement (WP:SOAPBOX). That said, I've tried to keep much of the new material that was added (minus the puffery). Hopefully, this version will be broadly acceptable to everyone.

Re: Anne Frank

Please read RFK's statement on this matter. - Tzaquiel (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
