   No, Palpatine was never a Jedi.

   Dooku was indeed once a Jedi, but he left the Jedi order (one of only a few   
   to ever do so) to greater study the Dark Side, and then was manipulated by   
   Palpatine.   
      
   Darth Maul was never a Jedi.   
      
   Both General Grievous and Assaj Ventress were neither a Jedi nor a Sith   
   Lord. They were simply schooled in the art of lightsabre techniques.
