2601:647:CB03:2A60:EC16:62D4:9A79:1374 (talk) 18:49, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Ray Glock-Grueneich - The main box under the Kennedy's portrait states he was Chair of the Senate "Health Committee." The formal title of that Committee was during all of Kennedy's Chairmanship "Health, Education, Labor and Pensions" Committee, also known by the acronym "HELP." Although Kennedy is best known in terms of legislative achievements for his contributions to the field of health, it is also important that he had an important influence on education and labor matters during his tenure as Chair of this committee. I suggest we substitute "Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP)" for "Health" in this box.[reply]

I realize the downside of my suggestion is that the full title is lengthy, and for this reason I think my suggestion should be up for consideration, rather than merely inserted unilaterally by me.

The subject committee was formed in 1869 and has had several titles. It began as the Committee on Education. It has had its current title since 1999.

Ted Kennedy was also the longest-serving U.S. Senator who was never president pro tempore of the United States Senate. 2600:1017:B837:A10F:51F9:C8F0:AC5A:E158 (talk) 22:41, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. DreamRimmer (talk) 02:08, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Early 1990s" section, please change "Cassone said that Ted Kennedy subsequently walked in on her and Patrick, who was dressed only in a nightshirt and had a weird look on his face" to "Cassone said that Ted Kennedy subsequently walked in on her and Patrick; Ted was dressed only in a nightshirt and had a weird look on his face." It was Ted, not Patrick, who was dressed only in a nightshirt, per the two cited sources. 2001:BB6:47ED:FA58:A9DB:3A73:F003:C94 (talk) 11:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: I cannot find the text you are referring to. Geardona (talk to me?) 00:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the middle of the second paragraph of the "Early 1990s" section. If you can't find it, use CTRL–F and search for "Cassone said that Ted Kennedy subsequently walked in on her and Patrick, who was dressed only in a nightshirt and had a weird look on his face", or even just "Cassone said". 2001:BB6:47ED:FA58:F46A:D168:6CB0:D846 (talk) 11:27, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done while they are accurate, Ted's religion isn't worth adding categories for per WP:Overcategorization#Non-defining characteristics when it doesn't appear to be a trait he prominently is noted for (at least compared to political activities or family affiliations).

Can you mention he had the shortest natural lifespan of his siblings (as in He obviously lived much longer than his Brothers and sister Kathleen but out of the 5 Kenendy to die from natural causes he had the shortest lifespan) 2A00:23C5:FE33:2801:E8A6:6384:3B68:B24 (talk) 21:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done the notion of a "natural lifespan" sounds like awkward phrasing, plus this is trivial detail to begin with. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:41, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
