Under "personality and public image" it says "As president, Johnson vetoed 30 bills; no other president in history vetoed so many bills and never had a single one overridden by Congress." This is false and easy to check. Delete this sentence without replacement. Many presidents issued more vetoes. 174.251.64.113 (talk) 14:12, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that Johnson had openly confirmed in September 1967 he did not want to run for a second full term must be mentioned in the article. ParsleySt1 (talk) 17:08, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article makes it sound as though he dropped out because of the poor result, when in reality he had announced six months earlier he might not stand again. In any case he later admitted he could not run for another term as he knew he would not survive it. (ParsleySt1 (talk) 16:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC))[reply]

I would like to add 2 very good period photos of Lyndon B. Johnson: June 21 1960, Washington DC, Lyndon B. Johnson and Sen. J. William Fulbright. Lyndon B. Johnson, June 19 1960, Omaha NE. Both photos are not copyright protected. Shai Bandmann 1 (talk) 19:17, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty certain that Lyndon B. Johnson's penis, which he nicknamed "Jumbo", was a prominent part of his character and defined him to a greater degree than most other U.S. presidents. Here are sources:
I am leery of encouraging people to follow your links, as the second one loaded a lot of advertising onto my machine and it crashed. The Times article is behind a paywall. I didn't follow the others. What I saw is a rehash of what I have seen before. If you're really serious, there have been several discussions on the issue and the consensus was to not add any particular mention.

The only reason I've been mentioning Roe v. Wade in the section about the passing is that most Americans remember the day of LBJ's passing as the day of the landmark ruling of Roe v. Wade by SCOTUS. I still want to continue to discussion in having it included here. The articles about the Reagan inauguration had the release of the hostages in Iran.
You've been pushing this angle for 18 months, attempting to paint LBJ's death as the larger and more important event. You are trying to throw a non-neutral twist on the history. Thankfully, Wikipedia is based on the the way that the media balances their coverage of the two events, rather than on the whims of individual Wikipedia users. If you keep pushing this angle you will be moving into the tendentious editing arena, which is a blockable offense. Binksternet (talk) 05:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The release of the hostages being on the very day of Reagan's inauguration was most probably due to more than happenstance. It is almost certain that LBJ's death coinciding with Roe being handed down was no more than that – coincidence. Dhtwiki (talk) 00:48, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When describing Johnson's previous occupations "a congressional aide" is mentioned. I personally think this should link towards the Wikipage about the congressional staff. (This is not very necessary.) RenoGamingTheResearch (talk) 22:19, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
