 * Eleanor-Roosevelt-WH-Portrait.jpg

Correction needed.
Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt did NOT get married at "Algonac" in Newburgh, New York, but instead at the double-townhouse home of Eleanor's great aunt and cousin, Margaret Ludlow and Susan Ludlow Parish. This house is located at 6-8 East 76th Street in New York City [Manhattan]. Please correct this. Also, the article lists Eleanor's maternal grandmother as Mary Livington Ludlow. But the surname "Hall" should be added to this as well, since "Hall" was her married surname. "Ludlow" is her maiden name. 73.47.78.64 (talk) 04:04, 23 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for spotting that! I found a citation for the place of marriage and have made that and your recommended name change. Very much appreciated! --TeaDrinker (talk) 04:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Service as "United States Delegate to the United Nations General Assembly"
The third line of the article says that Roosevelt served as "United States Delegate to the United Nations General Assembly from 1945 to 1952" and gives a link to the page for the "List of ambassadors of the United States to the United Nations." This implies that Roosevelt was the US ambassador from 1945 to 1952 but, according to the second page, the ambassadors during this time were Edward Stettinius Jr., Herschel Johnson, and Warren Austin. Instead, Roosevelt was the "1st United States Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights," as the side bar indicates. I feel like this link/text is misleading, and it should instead say that "Roosevelt served as United States Delegate to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights from 1945 to 1952," as, based on the information I have, this appears more accurate. I may be wrong, however, and I welcome any explanation on the historical context that would explain the wording used here.(talk) 04:07, 2 March 2023 (UTC) OmegaGamma (talk) 04:02, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

"He enrolled"
Hello, this is very simple but I just wanted for a small mistake to be fixed. I noticed that on the early life section it says he enrolled rather than she. 2601:404:C67F:FEF0:4081:B7FE:DE25:E42D (talk) 00:18, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * This was no mistake; the "he" refers to her brother Hall Roosevelt enrolling as a student at Groton School. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:37, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
