Unless objected, please ADD “Dr.” in front of Martin Luther King Jr name

Thank you Molldoll849 (talk) 16:20, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't edit that, but please take a look at this, as to why "Dr." isn't added in front of his name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Martin_Luther_King_Jr.#Semi-protected_edit_request_on_12_January_2024 108.49.72.125 (talk) 16:26, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Early 1950 Maple Shade, Mary's Cafe incident

I ran across this article originally dated Jan 14 2024 describing an MLK incident at Mary's Cafe in South Jersey and a law suit in 1950. I'm not skilled in Wiki, but scanning around for a while, I didn't find any 1950 references. This was obviously while he was at Cozer. I paste a partial copy here. I do not need an answer. I just thought mention of something as early as 1950 may be considered to include. Obviously, Jersey thinks it is his first. FYI: I saw it yesterday (the 15th), but reading it today (16th) the date shows 15th.
NJ Spotlight News:
"It’s not just that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. held his first formal sit-in on June 11, 1950, in the South Jersey town of Maple Shade, but that protest also led to King’s first lawsuit against discrimination. . . . Nichols was arrested and charged, but when witnesses failed to testify, the case was dropped."

the word NOT is missing

in the section early childhood it says: King's father responded sharply that King Jr. was a boy but he was a man 

the word NOT is missing. 45.173.210.101 (talk) 02:49, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name not "Michael King Jr." but only "Michael King."

Per Jonathan Eig's 2023 book "King: a life" (ISBN 9780374279295) Martin Luther King Jr. was not born "Michael King Jr." On page 23, paragraph 5, Eig writes, "They named him Michael King, no middle name, no initial, no "Junior." They called him Little Mike."

Please consider updating all references of birth name "Michael King Jr." to simply "Michael King." Stephenwmjones (talk) 16:25, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you are given the same name as your father, you are Jr whether anyone says it or not. Alanscottwalker (talk) 18:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, that is likely what you will be called and referred to as, but as a simple matter of fact, Michael King Jr. was not his birth name. His birth name was Michael King. And as a web source interested primarily in facts, I believe it best to go with the factual record. Stephenwmjones (talk) 09:46, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this. The "Michael King" thing is sketchy enough -- his father said it was a mistake by the doctor. Do we have other support for Eig's name information? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 01:51, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
