[edit] Elegance?
There is a section called Elegance in the article which appears, nearly word for word, in the "First Lady..." section. Suggestions on which to keep? Tenorcnj 13:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Death
Under her death it seems to suggest that her death was linked to smoking, there is no link between Non-Hodkings lymphoma and smoking.
[edit] Japanese pronounciation
Could someone help me (and other Japanese wikipedians) on pronounciation of the part "Bouvier"?
Does it pronounce like a standard french word, ommitting the last consonant (Buu Viee)? Or it is more like Buu Viee(r) with a hint of r at the end? Tomos 11:23, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
We Japanese pronounce it as Būbie（ブービエ）. --1523 19:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article Naming
Why was this page moved? We're supposed to use common names. "Lee Bouvier" is never used. --Jiang 08:53, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Shouldn't this article be
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis ?
(How I commonly see it mentioned as, if it's not Jacqueline Kennedy or Jackie O)
- Given Name: Jacqueline
- Maiden Name: Bouvier
- Husband#1 : Kennedy
- Husband#2 : Onassis

[edit] As an Editor
She edited Larry Gonnick's first collection of The Cartoon History of the Universe while at Doubleday. It's now reprinted by another house.

[edit] [1]
Is it really necessary to link to the nude photo? If someone wishes to see it they can easily go look for it themselves in Google. It just seems kinda disrespectful in the context of that it was not taken as a work of art, as a historical document, or any such thing. The fact that it appeared in Hustler isn't what bothers me but rather that it was a violation of her privacy (at the very least, when she had a resonable expectation of privacy).
Wiki-paparazzi is not a role we should seek out. The Jackie-O section significantly reduces the quality of the article. Rjensen 14:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Problems with this article
I just started to copy edit this, but there's almost no point, because so much of it is unencyclopedic, and there are no references. I see User:SNIyer1 has edited it several times, and I suspect may be the source of the schmaltz. Does anyone have a suggestion as to whether, and if so how, this article should be rewritten? SlimVirgin 18:09, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
Well I edited a bit of the part of her final years, because it sounds indeed like a homage page, not as an encyclopedia article 200.222.3.3 21:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
"Though just 64 at her death, she lived a life fuller than people who survive decades more. " HOW FUCKING POV IS THAT!!! im removing it immediately --TommyStardust 21:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
This article states Jackie married JFK in Newport RI. I do believe the name of the church was St Mary's. Im wondering why this wasnt included. 70.181.33.111 00:30, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I find the statement that she was fluent in Farsi/Persian, Arabic, Serbian etc. rather fanciful. Source?
^Seriously, the article states that she was fluent in "French, Spanish, German, Chinese, English, Japanese, Yidish, Russian, Korean, Georginan, Arabic, Persian, Serbian and Italian". Fluency in 14 languages is a bit hard to swallow without a source. 69.230.199.226 20:57, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:48, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Funeral Photo
The photo showing the coffin of Mrs. Onassis just prior to burial looks better than the current one. Centers 02:10, 22 Jun 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thread lacks tons of citations
Practically all of this article requires citation.
[edit] ironic?
Ironically, although they met at this dinner party, they didn’t begin dating until they were reintroduced almost a year later.
How is that ironic exactly?
[edit] Last Will and Testament of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
We wish to advise everyone that we (the Living Trust Network) have a copy of Jackie Onassis' Last Will and Testament posted on our website, which we believe is of interest to anyone seeking information about the life of Jackie Onassis. We have also discussed our desire to post a link to Jackie Onassis' Last Will and Testament with Wikipedia administrators [See User talk:Livingtrust], either under "references" or "external links." Last Will and Testament of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Wikipedia does not object to the link but has requested that we not put the link up ourselves since we are a commercial website. Instead, it has requested that we make it known that the Last Will and Testament is available, and anyone who wishes to add the link to the "reference" section or the "external links" section may do so. So, we solicite your help in adding the link set forth above. Thanks. Livingtrust 03:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in astronomy
In astronomy, it is possible that the name, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, can be used to name one of the extrasolar planet candidates in the central bulge of our galaxy, after the First Lady of the United States. --Bryan Seecrets 13:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Where is "The Greek Tycoon"?
I find it hard to believe that an article on Jackie O. has no references, none, to the 1978 movie that is an obvious fictionalized biography from the Onassis years. Is this an unintended oversight, or is the omission intentional? Kirchherr 03:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
