Talk:Robert F. Wagner

Untitled

Personally, I'd strongly suggest adding a bit about the Wagner-Rogers bill, which was an attempt to save the lives of 20,000 Jewish children in the time leading up to the Holocaust. Wagner sponsored the bill, although it was rejected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.226.180.48 (talk) 19:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Uncited Portion Removed

I took this part out:

"Robert Wagner was not a partner of Finley Kumble Wagner Underberg Manley Myerson & Casey (sic). This firm was formed long after he died. His son Robert Wagner, Jr. became a partner several years after he was Mayor of the City of New York. The last name in the firm was not Casey but rather Carey for former Governor Carey."

... as there is no citation and it directly contradicts the Finley, Kumble, Wagner, Underberg, Manley, Myerson & Casey page, which is cited. 214.13.24.91 (talk) 13:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Interested if this New York street is related:

If yes, then historical background, etc. When was this honor bestowed? 70.48.252.89 (talk) 15:18, 24 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.252.89 (talk) 15:14, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Brain Trust

It is inappropriate to call Wagner a member of FDR's "Brain Trust," for several reasons. While Wagner was clearly a New Deal insider, the Brains Trust was a specific group of academics who helped craft Roosevelt's policies during the '32 campaign and during the interregnum (people like Moley, Tugwell, & al.). "Brains trust" should not be used to refer broadly to all people who were simply allies of or even supporters of the New Deal during the Roosevelt presidency. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Remclaecsec (talk • contribs) 17:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Citizenship

Can anyone supply info on when/how Sen. Wagner became a U.S. citizen? (And that is not meant to be contentious.) BMJ-pdx (talk) 21:11, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Pronunciation?

It would be good to have a pronunciation guide, but I don't know if it's /ˈvɑːɡnər/ or /ˈwæɡnər/. Did his family Americanize the pronunciation when they emigrated? 2600:1700:CE90:7700:31DB:5132:9E71:6C9E (talk) 19:51, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
