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.

change "Ron DeSantis 2020 (cropped).jpg" with "Gov Ron DeSantis Portrait.jpg" Ex-Facto (talk) 01:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: That was the former image. That is not his official portrait, just an extraction from a different photo (DS doesn't have an official gov photo it seems). Besides that, that image is really poor. Curbon7 (talk) 01:57, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Staunch zionist" - Shelden Adelson

Can we remove this? It is somewhat editorialized and rhetoric. 2600:8801:DF00:1C9:1155:D6E0:576F:ACA8 (talk) 04:17, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Don't say gay bill"

Someone edited this entry and botched the formatting. Can someone look at this? Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 21:19, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is what you are on about fixed now? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:39, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's fine now - and you don't need to be sarcastic. My issue was not the content, it's that the edit put a whole bunch of white space in the middle of the article. Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 07:30, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was not being sarcastic and you were not clear what the issue was. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:56, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Misgendered

I removed this:The proclamation misgenders Thomas as male.^[1]

Likeanechointheforest says there's a guideline that justifies inclusion even though there's no coverage. Seems like this would have to receive some coverage for it to be included in the article. I could always be wrong though. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 19:56, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We shouldn't insert our own commentary about primary sources; that would be original research, which Wikipedia has a policy against. Endwise (talk) 23:41, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify involvement with SEAL Team One in Intro section

"Assigned to SEAL Team One," to a general audience, implies that DeSantis was a Navy SEAL (i.e. BUDS/SQT graduate, authorized to wear Special Warfare insignia). This is clarified further down, but misleading in the more prominent Intro. Serving in an advisory capacity, while important and helpful, does not make you a Navy SEAL. The average person might (and probably would) assume being "assigned to SEAL Team One" could only mean that he was a core member of that group. The section is locked but I think "served as an advisor to SEAL Team One" is a fairer statement that still reflects this prestigious contribution, but does not, at-first-glance, imply that DeSantis was a commando.
