Bronxville

[edit]

Ozzy4Prezz keeps adding the incorrect information that Nixon maintained a residence in Bronxville, New York, based on Social Security death records. This shows that one of Nixon's executors lived in Bronxville. No source shows that Nixon ever lived there, and if Nixon had lived there at any time, there would have been coverage, both contemporary and in the biographies. I just searched John Farrell's well-regarded bio of Nixon and it does not contain the word "Bronxville". I propose to delete the incorrect information. Wehwalt (talk) 16:46, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My argument is that
a.) Nixon’s wife is also residing in Bronxville New York. If it was a mistake that applied Nixon’s lawyer’s zipcode to Nixon than why does it apply to his wife as well?
b.) The Social Security Death Index looks into the Census records and voter records to check where someone resides. In addition, a simple research can find that the Nixon Library and Nixon associates owned the New jersey homes in Park Ridge and in Saddle River; Nixon himself did not personally own the homes and used them as secondary homes, not primary homes.
c.) The social security death index’s detailed 9-digit zipcode for Nixon’s residence is different than the 9-digit zipcode for his lawyer (Griffin)
If I find other arguments I’ll place them here Ozzy4Prezz (talk) 16:51, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
d.) The New Jersey death records for 1994 do not include non-New Jerseyans and do not mention Richard Nixon https://www.newjerseydeathindex.com/ Ozzy4Prezz (talk) 16:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
d.) The New Jersey death records for 1994 which do not include non-New Jerseyans and do not mention Richard Nixon https://www.newjerseydeathindex.com/ Ozzy4Prezz (talk) 16:56, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That index only covers deaths in the state of New Jersey. Nixon did not die there. All this seems very WP:SYNTH. Where is the source that says Nixon lived in Bronxville? Either Nixon. Wehwalt (talk) 17:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, this mentions Nixon as living in Saddle River and Park Ridge, and does not mention Bronxsville. Wehwalt (talk) 17:14, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Wehwalt. I've checked a number of Nixon bios....and I don't see him living in Bronxsville mentioned anywhere. Rja13ww33 (talk) 17:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Didn’t need a bio to add information about Nixon living in Alexandria, Virginia nor did I need secondary sources yet it was deleted anyways.
I hope you actually waste time reading bios to diss on a 19-year old on Wiki, you guys are losers Ozzy4Prezz (talk) 15:51, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People who died out of state were included in the New jersey Death index too. Since you didn’t look Ozzy4Prezz (talk) 15:54, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pigs were the reason why Nixon became a hog. 81.145.42.114 (talk) 09:55, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification needed in early life

[edit]

The article says at 12 Nixon was forbidden to play sports due to a spot on a lung X-ray. It says it turned out not to be TB, but it doesn't say when that was. A few years later, he was playing football, so it must have been before high school, but if anyone has a biography, a timeframe would be appreciated.

First sentence

[edit]

@Lawrence 979 and Wehwalt: A recent discussion of how to compose first sentences in the U.S. Presidents articles can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States Presidents#First sentences. I have also brought the question up at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lead section#Biographies' first sentence. Bruce leverett (talk) 17:54, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
