Conforming to one writing style of numbers out or in numerals, as the page is currently inconsistent.

  • Small numbers ranging from one to ten should be written out, numbers above ten should be written in numerals:
  • Currently the page is inconsistent in this use, and if the change is agreed to, conforming to the general writing style would be the easiest.:

Deletion of NPOV violation opinion on cause of economic decline

The article had a statement, which is removable at any rate for having no sources cited. The statement blamed economic decline in or following 1937 on Congressional thwarting of FDR's scheme to pack the SCOTUS. This claim is very controversial and a violation of NPOV. (AltheaCase (talk) 03:00, 12 August 2022 (UTC))

Polio diagnosis

Armond Goldman has heroically defended his case that Roosevelt's paralysis was a result of Guillain–Barrė syndrome, but it remains an overwhelming minority view. It is currently cited to a book that, according to discussion on the paralytic illness page, he self-published, and not to his original 2003 peer-reviewed paper. A few historians have noted the claim in passing, but they have not endorsed it. WP:UNDUE cautions against presenting the view of a small minority equally with a broadly held view. I would suggest revising the text as follows:

"believed at the time to be polio" -> diagnosed as polio
He was diagnosed with polio.... -> He was diagnosed with polio. Historians have noted a 2003 study favoring a diagnosis of Guillain–Barrė syndrome, but have continued to describe his paralysis according to the contemporary diagnosis.
