POTPORS I removed the statement that the Junto eventually became the American Philosophical Society. This was incorrect, although it is fair to say that Franklin was inspired by the Junto when he launched the APS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce Cabot ( talk • contribs) 20:07, July 16, 2006
I believe Franklin's Junto is pronounced with a hard "J" sound as in the normal English pronounciation; even though the roots are from the Spanish and Portuguese, junta. Even junta in English was pronounced with the hard "J" until the latter part of the 20th Century. - DialUp 19:43, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
Although I must correct your spelling of "pronunciation" I am tempted to agree with your main point. But more proof is needed. Do you have a reference? The main article says the word is Latin, but that's wrong: the Latin would be "juncto", and would be ablative (or dative) singular, ie., unlikely. It is Spanish rather, and according to etymonline.com entered English in the early 1600's in re of the cabinet of Charles I. "Junto" is masculine singular, so inaccurate anyway. A realistic use is "estar junto a ti es como si estaviare en paraiso" -- "to be joined to thee is as if I were in paradise" ProudPrimate ( talk) 10:46, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Much of the content on this page appears to come from this PBS site without reference http://www.pbs.org/benfranklin/l3_citizen_networker.html
The part about the Australian rock band doesn't belong here-- should be split off to its own page. - Rbean 16:08, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Isn't the Whig Junto of the late 17th and early 18th centuries more notable than the one detailed in this article? john k 22:39, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Where can I find more information about this? wubrgamer ( talk) 15:45, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
I have added a citation needed tag to this section of the article. wubrgamer ( talk) 15:45, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Removed the reference to money in the first sentence of the History section. Franklin's Biography and other references do not indicate money was a primary motivation for the group. BenDoGood ( talk) 21:38, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
First time editing so apologies: I believe Junto is from the latin meaning more "together" than assembly. Juntos in Spanish is together and I submit together is a more accurate meaning than assembly how Franklin would translate it. There is more in on this in Lemay's chapter on the Junto. — Preceding

This section is full of the internet equivalent of graffiti. Nobody enjoys being told they're irrelevant, but the vast majority of "juntos" listed under this section are notable only to their members. There are very few entries which are properly given even a cursory attempt at referencing, and fewer still that manage to establish a link to another entity that would prove its worth. The section should be deleted, and should any annotation be considered relevant enough to be included in its associated Wiki page, it should be included there rather than providing a platform for self-important, modern-day "Junto" wannabes to stamp their hand in the wet concrete and write "I was here too!" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:8104:C490:3581:820B:76F5:4438 ( talk) 01:44, 9 December 2016 (UTC) That section appears to be gone now -- but one of the three links in the "External Links" section appears to be to the webpage of some thing calling itself "Junto" that has no connection whatever to Franklin's other than borrowing its name and holding events in Philadelphia. (Also, that page prominently advertises an upcoming event in 2014; it is now late 2018.) I'm removing it. Gareth McCaughan ( talk) 01:51, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
