William Kennedy Smith Barroom Brawl in 1993
[edit]http://articles.chicagotribune.com/keyword/william-kennedy-smith Is this story off limits for the posted article for some reason? It involved William Kennedy Smith where a guy walked up to him and made fun of him pertaining to the rape case. It was stated in the news that William Kennedy lost the fight. Can someone add a synopsis of this article to the page or will it get deleted? Thank you! jbutera (talk) October 26, 2013 —Preceding undated comment added 06:44, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

[edit]The Court TV article is very biased against Kennedy. What is the standard NPOV way of indicating such? Mick 22:09, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Why is Patricia Bowman not named, when she is named in the official court documents, available online from various websites, including:

1991 rape charge and acquittal
[edit]".. Smith, then 30 years old, was in a bar (named Au Bar) in Palm Beach, Florida, with his uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, and his cousin Patrick Kennedy. Smith met a 29-year-old woman and another young woman at the bar. The four then went to a nearby house..".
It's 3 men and 2 women, so it's not clear who the 4 people are. Would anyone like to correct this? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 10:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- The accuser's name, Patricia Bowman, became well known.[3] I'm not so sure it's important to name the non-notables in the discussion. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Bryn Mawr
[edit]It was pointed out at Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests that Bryn Mawr is an all-female college. Somebody check whether WKS actually attended. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 05:25, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- As I posted there [4] it's not all-female. I have added a citation.[5] PrimeHunter (talk) 13:46, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Could someone please add the standard biographical information to this article's lead section on the subject's nationality, place of birth, country, etc. Wikipedia is read worldwide. --Kudpung (talk) 14:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Notability?
[edit]Is this guy really notable by Wikipedia standards? Pretty much all the independent coverage of him relates to a rape trial (where he was acquitted) and a lawsuit for sexual assault (which was dismissed). That's really not enough to build a balanced biography of a living person on. Perhaps this article should be merged into the general one on the Kennedy family.
