Michelle Obama

Should Michelle Obama be listed? I get that it's cited by a reliable source, but the Obamas don't even live in Maryland. Not to mention how much she's said she doesn't have any interest in running for public office. Y2hyaXM (talk) 22:50, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Why are David Throne and Larry Hogan in the infobox as the Democratic and Republican candidates respectively? Primary elections have not been held in Maryland yet, and neither are running unopposed to be considered their party's respective presumptive nominee. 79.2.217.142 (talk) 08:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"enshrining reproductive care"

What a euphemism for killing an innocent, unborn human being. This article is clearly written from a left-wing biased perspective. 2003:DA:C711:5400:FD37:259C:B578:10B0 (talk) 04:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think "enshrining reproductive rights" (in the "Campaign" section under "General election") should be changed to "enshrining a woman's ability to get an abortion" for better clarity. "Reproductive rights" is a vague statement that could imply something along the lines of contraception, when the subject is specifically an abortion referendum. AmericanBaath (talk) 11:41, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, because that's only part of what the referendum would do. The bill containing the text of the amendment to be approved by voters this November covers all reproductive health products and is not limited to just abortion care. The page "2024 Maryland abortion referendum" is named that only because it's similar to the name that was used for the November 2023 Ohio Issue 1 referendum before the Ohio Secretary of State gave it its issue number (which is exactly what I'm waiting for the Maryland Secretary of State to do here).

"Other Representatives" in the Endorsements section

I don't understand why someone would list "9 other Representatives" or "68 other Representatives" or anything like that in the endorsement section. Documentation isn't supposed to be succinct; it's supposed to be accurate. Stating the number of endorsers instead of their identities (without even creating a separate page listing them all) is an ineffective and juvenile way to get out of writing a proper list. 2601:42:1:3FF0:4E7:A624:A507:4723 (talk) 14:20, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was a proper list at one point, but it got too lengthy and much of the Representatives that've endorsed Trone are out-of-state or don't have as significant as a role as Hakeem Jeffries. Y2hyaXM (talk) 14:40, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's goal isn't "documentation." This is an encyclopedia, meaning that we must take into account convenience for the reader, and having gigantic endorsement boxes that crowd the page is inconvenient for the reader. Anyone who wants to see the full list can view it on Trone's website. Take a chill pill. "Juvenile" lmfao get a grip BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 19:08, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
