In the marriages and family section, it says "Kerry and his second wife—Portuguese-born businesswoman and philanthropist Teresa Heinz..." She was NOT born in Portugal. She was born in Mozambique. This needs to be corrected, but apparently, we can't edit anything on this article currently. Someone who CAN edit it needs to. I don't know how this slipped by, because it's been very well-known for many years that she is from Africa.

The Institut Montana has never been an "elite" school in terms of teaching and learning performance. Rather it is an expensive boarding school for kids of rich (foreign and Swiss) families who do not make it to the real elite schools of Switzerland and Central Europe. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2A02:1206:45BC:6F70:184E:C44F:CBB:E965|2A02:1206:45BC:6F70:184E:C44F:CBB:E965]] ([[User talk:2A02:1206:45BC:6F70:184E:C44F:CBB:E965#top|talk]]) 07:39, 26 November 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

I believe that we should change the main photo of this article to his [[:File:John Kerry official Secretary of State portrait.jpg|official 2013 portrait]]. This is because the 2013 photo is more aesthetically pleasing than the one currently used, and since articles about politicians on Wikipedia tend to use official portraits. [[User:Dell Latitude E6400|Dell Latitude E6400]] ([[User talk:Dell Latitude E6400|talk]]) 00:20, 19 May 2024 (UTC) |

As someone who voted for John Kerry for President in 2004, I find a significant amount of opinionated bias in this article such as “ it appeared to be” statements which is someone’s opinionated prospective and a lack of the detail about the claims of the Swift Boaters while giving extensive detail about the positive aspects of John Kerry’s Service. Deification Of Kerry appears to this contributor to be the common theme of this Wikipedia page. |
|||
:This seems like a reasonable idea, however it may also be worth considering the [[commons:File:John_F._Kerry.jpg|image used for the 2004 election]], his nomination for President was arguably the highlight of his career and what he will be remembered for so I'd be more inclined to use that image as the lead, however I would be fine if the Secretary of State photo is used as well since it is a major office and was taken only 8 years after his candidacy.

Too bad the page is locked to ensure that other opinions or prospectives are not given the same freedom of speech rights that the person or persons who where allowed to present their prospective on this page were given. |
|||
⚫ | |||
To bad we continue our rapid decline into a society of giving more rights of personal freedoms to some members then others. |
|||
As a person who always try to support Wikipedia when asked for financial support, I will discontinue that practice and allow those that Wikipedia grants “”Special” freedoms to express their opinions and prospectives as factual History to provide all the support that Wikipedia needs.

:{{u|Catmandu57}}, "appeared to be" appears once in the article, sourced to [https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/dec/29/theresa-may-john-kerry-comments-israel-palestine-un-resolution this] [[WP:RS|reliable source]]. which backs up the statements in the article. Nothing opinionated there. We don't give the claims of the swift boaters any weight because they were fallacious. If you have any other specific complaints beyond the bizarre claim of "deification", please bring them up with specifics, what specifically is wrong and what specifically should be changed about it. – [[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]] ([[User talk:Muboshgu#top|talk]]) 20:30, 14 January 2021 (UTC) |
|||
:{{u|Catmandu57}}, PS, your "freedom of speech" cannot be abridged by the government, but it absolutely can be by a private enterprise like Wikipedia. That's called free market capitalism. I thought conservatives liked that? – [[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]] ([[User talk:Muboshgu#top|talk]]) 20:32, 14 January 2021 (UTC) |
|||
:Hombre, we don't do "Opinion" on Wikipedia. The "Swiftboat" complaints are a well documented fraud, and it *doesn't matter* if you have a different opinion, what matters is whats true, and we actually know those allegations are not true. So repeating them would violate multiple wikipedia rules on articles about living people, and worse, would be perpetrating things that aren't true.

Please add the following to the Out of Government section: |

Please add a footnote regarding the 1971 arrest on the Lexington Battle Green. The antiwar march that resulted in this arrest is the subject of a new book that Mr. Kerry, in providing a blurb, has approved. Here is the bibliographic information: |

Lemire, Elise. Battle Green Vietnam: The 1971 March on Concord, Lexington, and Boston (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2021). |

Kerry was arrested on May 30, 1971, during a VVAW march to honor American POWs held captive by North Vietnam. The march was planned as a multi-day event from Concord to Boston, and while in Lexington, participants tried to camp on the village green. At 2:30 a.m., local and state police arrested 441 demonstrators, including Kerry, for trespassing. All were given the Miranda Warning and were hauled away on school buses to spend the night at the Lexington Public Works Garage. Kerry and the other protesters later paid a $5 fine, and were released. The mass arrests caused a community backlash and ended up giving positive coverage to the VVAW.X[62][63][64] |
