A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "On this day..." column on April 23, 2017.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 2 times. The weeks in which this happened:

Joseph Kennedy Sr.

Can anyone link me to that article from the Wall Street Journal that stated she was Joseph Kennedy Sr.'s daughter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.217.214 (talk) 14:58, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shirley Temple Early Career and Family.

Do we have a section listing all Shirley's early smaller roles? I did notice a few were mentioned but she has a plethora more. If we do not and I didn't miss it, it might be a benefit to add what she had been in and maybe the timing of the movie she appears in since they were small roles. Also the Shirley Wiki seems to not say much about her relationship with her family, this could be a helpful topic because there is a lot of miss information about her and her relationship to her family out there.

‘plethora’? Please look up the correct meaning of this word. ‘Miss Information’? Wasn’t she the winner of a beauty contest run by IMB? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.139.49.97 (talk) 20:31, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for Sources

This article requires more reliable sources. Some sources are unreliable, and many links are old and faulty (they do not link to anything). Wikipedia offers recommendations at the top of the article.

The articles has lots of sources but no specific examples are given here. Vague hand-waving is insufficient. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:48, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
