Jordan Davidson (June 15, 2021). "Wikipedia's Quiet, Big-Tech-Funded Grip On Internet Knowledge Gives It Too Much Power". The Federalist (website). Retrieved June 16, 2021. In one recent example, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is under federal and state investigation for mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and growing list of scandals, is described on his Wikipedia page in a positive light while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a potential GOP frontrunner for the 2024 presidential election, is painted as a partisan hack who ignored the science.

FL and Covid

I find it very perplexing that the LOW Covid numbers in FL now (December 2021) under the guidance of DeSantis are not listed/updated. Last item listed is the summer surge.

Could that be due to a liberal leaning stance by Wikipedia or are you going to update it now? Please do.

FL has the 8th lowest Covid death rate in the country. Please update. 69.115.6.218 (talk) 14:58, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can update it. Please add as you wish and provide reliable sources. Please do. Nemov (talk) 15:18, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Marijuana"

This should be changed to the more neutral term "Cannabis". Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 17:16, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody objected to this, so I changed all references to "marijuana" to "cannabis", but I left the links to "Medical Marijuana" alone because that's how WP titles those particular articles. Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 07:23, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ron DeSantis' grandfather's name was not "Salvadore." It was "Salvatore." Sgangemi (talk) 17:57, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. For anyone else looking into it, the cited source in the following sentence includes a primary document (wedding certificate) that uses 'Salvadore', but the source itself uses 'Salvatore' as do the vast majority of Google and Google News results.

Regarding Neutrality

My most recent contribution was undone (though not completely) by AlsoWaukai for not being neutral (or neutral enough?). To this I ask: how is the trend of cherry-picking low points in Florida's battle with Covid "neutral", but stating where its hospitalization rate currently stands in relation to Washington D.C. (it's half), as well places with mask-mandates currently in place a violation of NPOV? The original contrib as written doesn't even contain adjectives, if I recall correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkeeran (talk • contribs) 18:22, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I second this sentiment. @AlsoWukai, if you're gonna provide low points for Florida, you gotta allow high points as well for the sake of objectivity and making the section more objective. Simply stating "neutrality" in your revision doesn't sufficiently satisfy a valid reason for removing what Kkeeran contributed. 174.65.152.153 (talk) 20:57, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
