The article could perhaps need some formal review, checking it against the FA criteria. It was promoted eons ago, back in 2008. There are huge swaths of unsourced texts, as well as tags for inappropriate colloquialisms. I am also not positive that it is comprehensive, since the discourse around the shooting has changed significantly the last decade. The 'See also' should prolly also be nuked.

Article states that Johnson "ordered the Tet offensive" which is clearly incorrect as the offensive was launched by North Vietnam! 105.63.219.35 (talk) 03:22, 7 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn't this page be protected for being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict? ColorfulSmoke (talk) 00:10, 30 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
ColorfulSmoke, we only protect articles when there is an ongoing pattern of vandalism, edit warring or other clear disruption. Cullen328 (talk) 00:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

The introduction notes that RFK was "one of four major assassinations in the United States that occurred during the 1960s." While that sentence links to the entire decade of the 60s, a link that explains what the other three assassinations were (presumably MLK JFK and Malcolm X) would probably be appropriate. 150.135.165.56 (talk) 21:32, 2 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
What is meant is sourced in the article, but I wouldn't think that Malcolm X's assassination was more important than those of Medgar Evers and Lincoln Rockwell (who is listed at List of assassinated American politicians with the two Kennedys, while the others are not), as well as the killings of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, all of which are included in the more comprehensive List_of_assassinations#United_States.

Herbert Spiegel, a Columbia University psychologist, said that Sirhan was probably induced via hypnosis into firing a gun in the direction of Kennedy without knowing what he was doing and without being able to recall either the events or the process of having been programmed.[96] Spiegel suggested that he was in a state of hypnotically-induced amnesia during the time of his arrest as well as afterwards.[97]
