In the last paragraph of the lead, make the following change:"...he didn't act alone." --> "..he did not act alone." 69.166.120.135 (talk) 20:04, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done in two places in the article per MOS:N'T. In other news, that's possibly my new favorite wikishortcut. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 21:18, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Mankiewicz quote is incorrect
If you listen to actual recordings of Mr. Mankiewicz speaking, it's clear he is actually saying (bold words inserted, strikeout removed from original):
"I have a short announcement to read, which I will read at this time. Senator Robert Francis Kennedy died at 1:44 a.m. today, June 6, 1968. With Senator Kennedy at the time of his death were his wife Ethel, his sisters Mrs. Stephen Smith, Mrs. Patricia Lawford, his brother-in-law Mr. Stephen Smith, and his sister-in-law Mrs. John F. Kennedy. He was 42 years old. Thank you."
The article could perhaps need some formal review, checking it against the FA criteria. It was promoted eons ago, back in 2008. There are huge swaths of unsourced texts, as well as tags for inappropriate colloquialisms. I am also not positive that it is comprehensive, since the discourse around the shooting has changed significantly the last decade. The 'See also' should prolly also be nuked.

Tet offensive
Article states that Johnson "ordered the Tet offensive" which is clearly incorrect as the offensive was launched by North Vietnam! 105.63.219.35 (talk) 03:22, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
