A section says
"Both of Florida's U.S. Senator, Bill Nelson opposes offshore drilling and exploration. Former Governor Jeb Bush, who was originally opposed to all drilling,[46] changed his position in 2005 when he supported a bill introduced into the House of Representatives which allowed unrestricted drilling 125 miles (201 km) or more from the coast.[47] Former Governor Crist, Martinez and Nelson opposed that bill, but Martinez and Nelson voted for a Senate alternative which prohibited drilling within 125 miles (201 km) of the Panhandle coast, and 235 miles (378 km) of the peninsular coast.[48] In July 2007, Florida Governor Charlie Crist announced plans to sign executive orders that would impose strict new air-pollution standards in the state, with aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. Crist's orders would have set new emissions targets for power companies, automobiles and trucks, and toughen conservation goals for state agencies and require state-owned vehicles to use alternative fuels"
For this article, let's confine ourselves to facts/statutes/executive orders that were actually signed. The rest is, essentially, hot air. Maybe okay for some political articles or the politician's article, but definitely irrelevant to Florida. Student7 ( talk) 00:37, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I have a question, why the writer single out Florida as a principle location of "Indian wars and racial segregation" after the Civil War. So were other states, yet this is not mentioned in the intro to information for them.

===Ancestry groups===
The largest reported ancestries in the 2000 Census were English (16.9%), German (11.8%), Irish (10.3%), Italian (6.3%), French (2.8%), Polish (2.7%) and Scottish (1.8%). In the 2000 Census, 62,919 people in Florida self-identified as having "American" ancestry, most of these people are of English descent and some are of Scots-Irish descent however have families that have been in the state so long, in many cases since the colonial period, that they choose to identify simply as having "American" ancestry or do not in fact know their own ancestry. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Before the American Civil War, when slavery was legal, and during the Reconstruction era that followed, blacks made up nearly half of the state's population. [7] Their proportion declined over the next century, as many moved north in the Great Migration while large numbers of northern whites moved to the state. Recently, the state's proportion of black residents has begun to grow again. Today, large concentrations of black residents can be found in northern Florida (notably in Jacksonville, Gainesville, Tallahassee, and Pensacola), the South Florida area- Miami and Fort Lauderdale, the Tampa Bay area, the Orlando area, especially in Orlando and Sanford.
Florida's Hispanic population includes large communities of Cuban Americans in Miami and Tampa, Puerto Ricans in Orlando and Tampa, and Central American migrant workers in inland West-Central and South Florida. The Hispanic community continues to grow more affluent and mobile.
White Americans of all European backgrounds are present in all areas of the state. Those of English and Irish ancestry are present in large numbers in all the urban/suburban areas across the state. Native white Floridians, especially those who have descended from long-time Florida families, affectionately refer to themselves as " Florida crackers". Like whites in most of the other Southern states, they descend mainly from English and Scots-Irish settlers, as well as some other British settlers. [8]

This was pretty much in every major newspaper in the state, if not country, last month. I'm not sure why it is being deleted. Student7 ( talk) 15:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Both South Florida and Southern Florida redirect to the US Census defined metropolitan area that includes Miami, without discussion (eg Talk:South Florida, and this must be a better place to raise the matter). The metropolitan area must be the appropriate target regarding the Jewish population but not regarding sugar cane, the Florida panther, the Royal Poinciana (tree), or the tropical climate. (Tropical Florida appears in one title only, Tropical Florida Railroad. Anyway, I'm not sure whether even the once and future Everglades are were or will be ecologically tropical.)

Is there any naming pattern to canals (by county, for example)? Just discovered that there is an L-15 Canal not only in Brevard County but also a different one in Palm Beach County (with the same name). Nor can I find a listing of all the canals in Brevard. I've lived in Brevard for 25 years and just "discovered" this one (not seen from the highway) when it was reported in the newspaper. The prefix must mean something. L for "little"? :) Our only other numbered canal had a C in front of it, I thought for "Canal" until this "new" one popped up.

I am writing this because I and many others take offense to the term "harbored black slaves... called Black Seminoles". You "harbor" criminals. You "harbor" fugitives! When writing this article and It appears to have been written by some Euro-American who seems to be underhandedly condoning the brutal legacy of racial slavery and exhibiting his bias against those blacks who were fleeing this brutal system oppression. Probably the term "Seminoles offered sanctuary" to Blacks would be a better way of writing it. Also A closer examination of history, (according to historians and authors Betty Mae Jumper and Gloria Jahoda), reveals that VERY FEW blacks really WERE THAT "INTEGRATED" into the Seminoles. However, instead, most were given "food and a place to stay" in close proximity to Seminole camps in return for a tribute to the Seminole Chief (check your history). And many (probably most) of these so-called "Black Seminoles" WERE NOT "escaped slaves" AT ALL but were, to the contrary, DESCENDANTS of FREE blacks whose families had decades and centuries long lines of ancestry in Florida (though admittedly SOME were ex-slaves). I am humbly asking you to correct this article so that it reflects a less White-American written-bias. Thank You. ~~

In subsection "Environmental Issues", this interesting claim is made: "Miami and other parts of south Florida are the most vulnerable regions in the world to rising sea levels associated with global warming." It's sourced to a Rolling Stone article that doesn't make this claim. I have no doubt that the southern Florida peninsula is vulnerable, but claiming it's "the most vulnerable [region] in the world" is stretching things, especially in light of the special vulnerability of places like the Pacific island nations. Proposed remedy: (1) If a better source can be found, emending the claim to … are among the most vulnerable … would be more truthful and relieve the article of a US-centric howler. (2) While seeking a better source, may I ask for the "better source needed" or "not in citation given" tag to be placed on this? OctaviaYounger ( talk) 00:16, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
Climate claim seems incorrect, and the reference does not support the claim"The climate varies from subtropical in the north to tropical in the south." USDA Plant Hardiness Zones belie this claim.

Cheers.— InternetArchiveBot ( Report bug) 12:52, 22 May 2017 (UTC) The Gun StateIt should be mentioned that Florida is shaped like a gun, and they also have a lot of guns there too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.51.217.118 ( talk) 07:35, 1 July 2017 (UTC) Removed malicious templateMy most recent edit removed the following from the External Links section: {{osmrelation-inline|162050}}
This template added a link, covering the whole page, to hxxp://gnaa.press (NSFW) - after confirming with others that they received the same behaviour on their devices I removed it. from Zudo (want to talk?) 14:41, 26 July 2017 (UTC) De Soto encountering Seminole "ancestors" on the coastAlthough the quote about De Soto comes from a published source, the statement "Native ancestors of the Seminole" is inaccurate. At the time of De Soto's exploration of the Gulf coast, he would have encountered the Calusa, Tocobaga, Uzita and Mocoso. They were predecessors to the Seminole, but not their ancestors. /info/en/?search=Indigenous_peoples_of_Florida /info/en/?search=Seminole /info/en/?search=Hernando_de_Soto Mropicki ( talk) 18:06, 26 July 2017 (UTC) my intro changes, mostly about geographyThis note states the reasons for the changes I made to the first two paragraphs in the intro. Borders: added Alabama to the western border. Removed Cuba from the southern border, as it's separated from the Florida Keys by almost 100 miles of international waters and does not "border" Florida any more than Italy borders Libya. I find it highly misleading to note Jacksonville as the largest-area city with no explanation at all of why it occupies that position. It's not really the city of Jacksonville that has this large area; it's the consolidated goverments of Jacksonville and Duval County. Legally, yes, it's the largest ... but that's a legal technicality. Since this is just the intro, I added the shortest clarifying note I could come up with. The article stated that Florida is a peninsula. Only 2/3 of the state occupies the peninsula. Fixed that. Article also stated "between Gulf, Atlantic, and Straits"; what it's between is the Gulf and the Atlantic and the Straits is merely the tip. Coastlines are measured two ways, by general perimeter and including all irregularities. I grew up hearing that Florida has the longest coastline because of the irregularities, which in Florida are mostly the barrier islands, which are essentially 3x multiplers. It turns out that Florida's coastline length is second only to Alaska no matter which way you measure, but I thought it worth pointing out that the measurement presented excludes the barrier islands, and linking that article, since they are such an important part of Florida's landform. Finally, since the article already mentioned that "much of the state is at or near sea level", I added the note and link about the lowest high point.

Here is the bot request page for this bot: [2]. In addition to changing the Florida page, other pages that may be affected by this bot include all 50 state pages:
Can you please allow my bot to make these edits? "Land of flowers"Sorry, but as a native Spanish speaker, I have to tell you that "florida" means literally "flowery", no "land of the flowers". Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capgròs ( talk • contribs) 19:00, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

What is the best way to make the article look academic vs kids picture book? We have small sections overloaded with images then we have other with none. Where should we start?-- Moxy ( talk) 11:51, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
I am not spamming anything...I was adding and deleting pictures...I thought that was the point of editing wikipedia. I don't understand why you want to report me SeminoleNation ...I have been very polite and I asked you what I was doing wrong and how I can fix it for future reference. So there is no need to stop or report me. I have been just trying to add more pictures that were from the rest of Florida since like 90% of the pictures on this page were of or about South Florida, and I switched pictures that just looked bad. I did go a bit overboard with adding pictures though, but Moxy has pointed that out to me and has been helping me with that. Now I've been working with Moxy getting rid of galleries and oddly placed or sized pictures. Semi-protected edit request on 28 May 2018
