Trying to make some sort of sense to the timeline. I do think ths article is biased —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.160.62.97 (talk) 06:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another sugarcoated wikipedia article

About 4/5 of the article just talks about how much money he gave to the poor, and what a great man he was and blah blah blah. Listen: You DO NOT become the richest man by being nice to people. Period.

Wikipedia: you are loosing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.111.217 (talk) 16:32, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mrjonathan2000 (talk) 05:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC) While he or she may be losing it, it is true that these articles are limited to positive aspects. Rockerfeller's involvement in Eugenics, social Darwinism, depopulation (now known as population control), and funding of organizations doing illegal bio testing should be included in this article. The information is quite available and is easily accessible through the Google timeline. I don't have time to do the research though.[reply]

Seperate Criticism section is needed

This man was a very powerful business leader; a criticism section is vital. I had to search for any mention of (eg.) Ludlow Massacre, because of how well interwoven it is (intentionally to prevent prominence of it? possible bias...) Anywho, let's get seperate and quality criticism section going..

John D. Rockefeller, Jr. to John D. Rockefeller Jr.

There was just a move of a number of articles removing the comma and making "John D. Rockefeller, Jr." to John D. Rockefeller Jr. Does anyone know where the discussion took place? The majority of the incoming links are to ", Jr." as are the ancillary articles such as John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library. See John D. Rockefeller, Jr. at the Encyclopedia Britannica and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. at the Rockefeller family archive --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 20:39, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to know the same thing, seemed sudden. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:29, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
