Name

Is his legal name "McGillicuddy" or is it "Mack"? I am under the impression that the original Connie Mack changed his name and so "Mack" is his actual name and not just a nickname. Acsenray 15:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thirteen years later than the post above, I have the same question: are we supposed to believe that the baseball manager changed his name from McGillicuddy to Mack, then the family changed it back to McGullicuddy, then the senator changed it again? That makes no sense. Purplethree 16:31, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia article on the original Connie Mack indicates that he never legally changed his name. From visits to Find-a-Grave, it seems that some members of the family go by "McGillicuddy" and others (particularly the politicians) use the "Mack" name, either for convenience or to exploit its prominence. It's probably best to investigate whichever particular member of the family you're interested in, to see what they go by. Rontrigger 10:05, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

apparent wiktionary:apparent

I am having much difficulty reading this {& related articles}. The name issue overwhelms. Also, He has a grandfather, he has a son; but, he has no parent, neither father, nor mother? If either is listed, it is not apparent, to me. If it is there, could it be clarified, please?

Thank You,

NPOV Language/Style Issue

I noticed that as this article progresses toward the bottom, the language used becomes more flattering to the subject and there is exponentially more focus on promotional talking points that one might find on a campaign website. Use of phrases like "landmark legislation" and "numerous awards" and "helped to establish" can even seem so vague, yet overtly positive in tone as to be a marketing or campaign effort. Did nobody ever disagree with this person on any topic? Forgive me if I've done anything wrong in terms of adding the NPOV tag in brackets at the top of the article page or if this current note was to be placed elsewhere on the talk page. I always have trouble figuring out how these things are done on here. Thanks.

I added the peacock tag to the Tenure section, as that's where most of the questionable material is, and also flagged missing citations throughout that section. 208.163.133.252 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:24, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to take the tag off the top of the article and leave the one on the Tenure section. Swliv (talk) 00:47, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
