== Polio survivors category ==

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? ] (]) 20:24, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

:Oh yes, and some patients don't survive polio. They die. {{cry}} ] (]) 20:50, 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. ] (] / ]) 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. ] (]) 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.

== Semi-protected edit request on 9 August 2024 ==

I was surprised by the 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. ] (]) 22:24, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

There is a request, submitted by Catfurball, for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Misplaced Pages.

The rationale behind the request is: "Very, very important person".

edit request on September 20 2024

According to the White House: "In 1928 Roosevelt became Governor of New York." Not 1929,yet this article says 1929.https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/franklin-d-roosevelt/ UnsungHistory (talk) 18:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Lead section

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)

Ah, I just tried fixing this before checking the talk page and noting someone else had raised the same objection. Agreed, the way it was written was a problem, given that presidential term limits didn't come into effect until several years after his death. CAVincent (talk) 10:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

sidebar template

why is the Template:Franklin D. Roosevelt series not included in the article? I remember there was some discussion regarding presidential templates, but its still there for other presidents I checked?

Also, is there a reason why FDR has no separate legacy or public image article like most recent presidents? This article is more readable than some modern ones but some sections could really use more detail explored in a separate article.

— jonas (talk) 16:38, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Article for his death

I think that Rosevelt's death should have its own separate article, as for the rest of the presidents who died in office. Do I have the green light to make an article about this? DementiaGaming (talk) 21:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt, also known as FDR, was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. The longest-serving U.S. president, he is the only president to have served more than two terms. His initial two terms were centered on combating the Great Depression, while his third and fourth saw him shift his focus to America's involvement in World War II.
