Talk:Rhode Island congressman Patrick Kennedy involved in car accident near U.S. Capitol

Kennedy Family's history?[edit]

Do references to other similar incidents http://boards.billmaher.com/showthread.php?t=43108 with other Kennedys belong in the article? Neutralizer 09:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know about the reliability of that source. But the LA Times has a pretty good run-down of previous problems with Kennedy and some might be worth incorporating into the article. Also, the LA Times reports the car being model 97 not 77, don't have time to check who is right. --vonbergm 18:36, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1997 is right...oops :) Ummm...i don't kow about family history...if this Kennedy has on I don't see why not...But thats just my opinion. Although, I would not object to adding a family history. Jason Safoutin 18:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

expand or new article?[edit]

Looks like lots of new info is coming out. Kennedy said he will go to rehab for painkiller addiction and some people claim he had alcohol prior to the crash. This should probably be reported with his longer history of drug abuse problems. Definitely enough for a new article, but also still fits into this what that is still quite fresh. Any thoughts? --vonbergm 19:45, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think new article. This was in develop and I only expanded on it to publish it. However, it was just published today. I would not mind expanding on it. But i think we should wait on the opinion of others? Jason Safoutin 19:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This shouldn't be a featured article[edit]

This is not an important story and isn't relevent to many people.

Hate to break it to you, but it isn't. Its the third lead which is slightly different (yes I know thats labled featured). This is supposed to be for non-international stories, that are intreasting. You are free to change the leads. Bawolff ☺☻
