Early comments

Girls' Latin School did not exist on this site at the time stated. Although the buildings were there, they operated as the Dorchester school for girls, or something like that. My mother attended at that time. She had a good business education. Girls' Latin didn't take over the buildings until the fifties when I attended for the first year after having been on Huntington Avenue at the Teachers' College. At Girls' Latin I learned Latin and lots of it, a purely classical old style education that wouldn't translate into a nickle.

nickel Clearly, they didn't even teach how to spell correctly.  :) 66.108.4.183 01:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

NPOV diputed because of Wikipedia Undue Weight Policy= Rose Marie Kennedy's (aka: Rosemary--her name changes throughout article) lobotomy is mentioned three different times in this article. This is Rose F. Kennedy's bio, not hers. -13 May 2007

Katebrown83 (talk · contribs · count) raised WP:NPOV and specifically WP:UNDUE concerns here. The rationale for placing the NPOV template was given above in an unsigned comment dated 13 May 2007. The concerns have since been addressed and the NPOV template can now be removed. Sswonk (talk) 22:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Rpse Kennedy's page waa tampered with, and had a false 'tenth child' listed, one Thomas James Kennedy, which was in fact a link to the Boston Basketball team. I rememoved this false entry, but the entry for Robert kennedy was also tampered with. The assassination details I restored but are in the wrong column. If anybody can help by fixing the Robert Kennedy entry please do. In my view, Rose kennedy is an American icon and her obituary should be locked from further tampering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cocoruff (talk • contribs) 09:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Requested Moves

Perhaps she is known as "Rose Kennedy", but since there is more than one person in the world with such a name, e.g. her daughter Rose Marie Kennedy aka Rosemary (despite already having an article separate from her namesake), I believe the article should be moved back to "Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy". As of this writing, I have more often seen her referred to as "Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy" than "Rose Kennedy". Thesomeone987 (talk) 00:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Thesomeone987

Rosemary is never referred to as "Rose". You're making an issue where there is none. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:42, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh, OK. Sorry about "making an issue where there is none" right there..... Thesomeone987 (talk) 03:30, 12 August 2010 (UTC)Thesomeone987

As I wrote on your talk page, apologies are nice, but you need to start changing your behavior as well. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:41, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Patrick Bouvier Kennedy/David Anthony Kennedy

Under your wiki page for Rose Kennedy it is stated that she is survived by 2 grandchildren - David Anthony Kennedy and Patrick Bouvier Kennedy....yet when you click on their links they both say that they pre-deceased her. Patrick Bouvier Kennedy in 1963 at 2 days of age, and David Anthony April 25, 1984 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.236.247 (talk) 00:35, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

The page states as follows: "...outliving four of her nine children, her son-in-law Stephen Edward Smith, her daughter-in-law, Jackie Kennedy, and two grandchildren, David Anthony Kennedy and Patrick Bouvier Kennedy."

Estate Taxes

Why is there no mention in here about the scandal surrounding Rose Kennedy's estate taxes. She never left the Kennedy family compound in Barnstable, Massachusetts for the last 12 years of her life, yet she had her estate probated in Florida, which has much a lower estate tax than Massachusetts. No one disputes this, though I am still looking for a neutral reference. Bostoner (talk) 03:15, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Countess

She may have been granted some *title* by the papacy, but it certainly was not a part of her name & she was never called by it, so I question it being the 1st word in the article. Perhaps a mention later on *might* be appropriate, but not as the 1st word. ScarletRibbons (talk) 00:42, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Titles aren't parts of names, ever (except in German speaking countries where titles legally were dissolved and turned into family names). They are, however, parts of a "style". She would, therefore, be officially recognized by (and in) the Vatican, foreign courts, and the entire Roman Catholic Church as "Countess". --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 00:06, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Offensive comment about Catholics

"Rose Kennedy was a strict Catholic[5] throughout her life. Even after her 100th birthday, she rarely missed Sunday Mass and maintained an "extremely prudish" exterior."

This is an unacceptable slur against Catholics.

Atothemizzay (talk) 16:27, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

It says nothing of Catholics, but of her personality. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 19:33, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
