the line "In ], he ], one entire term before the ]." Seems either oddly worded or outright misleading. The Amendment was a reaction to his tenure, he didn't slip in another term before it came into effect. This should probably reworded to it being the first third term of a US president. Then after the sentence about his fourth term and death, the 22nd Amendement could be mentioned as part of his legacy. Its also more than "one entire term", it only took effect in 1951. — ] (]) 16:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Change: “ The attack on Pearl Harbor raised concerns among the public regarding the possibility of sabotage by Japanese Americans. This suspicion was fed by long-standing racism against Japanese immigrants, as well as the findings of the Roberts Commission, which concluded that the attack on Pearl Harbor had been assisted by Japanese spies.”
To: “…This suspicion was fed by long-standing racism against Japanese immigrants. Though there was no evidence in the Robert’s Commission, established to investigate the attack on Pearl Harbor, to support media speculation and racist, anti-Japanese political rhetoric from politicians like California Governor Cubert L. Olson, the Commission report was co-opted to falsely legitimize anti-Japanese sentiment and racial oppression.” VAGRANTPLATYPUS (talk) 09:34, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
I can’t change it but in the marriage section of the page it says princess Märtha of Norway when it links to and should be princess Märtha of Sweden Varst912 (talk) 18:34, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for commenting. I looked this up, and in the source cited, Franklin and Eleanor: An Extraordinary Marriage author Hazel Rowley says she was Norwegian. I think the link will take you to page 242, where she is first mentioned. YoPienso (talk) 03:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
I looked into this a little more and from I can tell we’re both half-right she was born in to the Swedish royal family and married into the Norwegian royal family Varst912 (talk) 19:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Snuggums, I don't understand why you removed the polio survivors category from the article. There are some 200 articles in the category. FDR didn't die of it; he survived it. You do get cured of polio--it's an illness, a virus, that produces headaches, fever, and general misery during its short course. It leaves some patients weakened and/or paralyzed in varying degrees. Am I missing something? YoPienso (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
In case this wasn't already clear, I removed it because as far as I know, there isn't any evidence FDR got cured of polio. The page certainly doesn't cite anything that suggests he did, and we would need to implement that for the category to be warranted. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 04:16, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
The category is "Polio survivors," not "People cured of polio." Whether or not he was "cured" of polio--whatever your definition of that may be--he survived polio, and that's what the category is for. Please restore it. YoPienso (talk) 04:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
How can you not see that Roosevelt survived polio? He had it but didn't die from it; he kept living, albeit with impairments. Twenty-four years later, he died of a stroke.

I was surprised by the edit from 25 July, which claimed that the reference to the Japanese-American internment camps in the lede was a right-wing attack on Roosevelt. The internment camps constituted a serious violation of civil rights, based in racism. The "right-wing attacks" I've seen concerning FDR criticize the New Deal and other economic policies but rarely if ever mention his violation of human rights. Personally as an American very much on the left-wing, I think it's fair to mention in the lede both the Japanese-American internment policy and FDR's lack of action to save European Jews from the Holocaust. I would strongly advocate for the deleted sentence to be restored to the lede. 2600:100A:B1CD:E507:0:23:2BCF:A601 (talk) 22:24, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
the line "In 1940, he ran successfully for reelection, one entire term before the official implementation of term limits." Seems either oddly worded or outright misleading. The Amendment was a reaction to his tenure, he didn't slip in another term before it came into effect. This should probably reworded to it being the first third term of a US president. Then after the sentence about his fourth term and death, the 22nd Amendement could be mentioned as part of his legacy. Its also more than "one entire term", it only took effect in 1951. — jonas (talk) 16:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
