Contents

[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]

Booyaka

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 It just seems kinda disrespectful in the context of that it was not taken as a work of art, as a historical document, or any such thing.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)

[edit] free wedding photos

two good wedding photos are available at the loc: http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3g11913 and http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3g04349 . 140.247.240.181 23:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popular culture is its own article -

The article that is pointed to in this section - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in popular culture - is where the details should go. The paragraphs that I removed were random selections from the many places where she was mentioned or portrayed in the popular culture. It makes no sense to include just those few, and it makes no sense to include all of them, in this main bio article. That's why we have a separate article. We state here that she was portrayed in the popular culture, but we put the longer disquisitions in the other article. Look at any article that has forked off sections - that's how it is done. And I've also removed the long list of women who have portrayed her, and moved that to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in popular culture as well. This article is her biography, that article is focused on this derivative aspect. Tvoz |talk 16:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] her father's 103rd birthday

I don't want to edit war about such a trivial matter, but does anyone think it is notable that she died in 1994 on what would have been her father's 103rd birthday, when her father died in 1957, almost 40 years earlier? This is coincidence and not all that interesting, seeing as her father didn't come close to reaching that birthday. And I think an edit summary explaining why the editor thinks it is important enough to re-insert as he/she did might be nice. Tvoz |talk 22:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

It is interesting, but it is more trivia than anything else.--Gloriamarie 22:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, and no reason has been forthcoming, so I'm removing it. Tvoz |talk 05:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Last Name

Per the way subjects are handled in most Wikipedia articles (examples of First Ladies: Betty Ford and Lady Bird Johnson), shouldn't she be referred to by her last name during the course of the article? I suppose it's difficult because she had different last names at different times, but as with Betty Ford, she could be referred to by her maiden name of "Bouvier" and then her married name of "Onassis," to avoid confusion with JFK. I see that this also came up in the featured article discussion, so it does need to be corrected.--Gloriamarie 22:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC) ==The Lee family.I have read that the Lee's were originally Jewish.I believe her great-grandfather but I find nothing about Jewish ancestry in the article.I'll do more research and see if I can be more specific.jeanne (talk) 16:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
