Information to be added or removed: I propose adding the below text in quotes to the education section of the page:
"Florida ranked 26th in the nation for educational performance, according to Education Week’s Quality Counts 2018 report. It earned an overall score of 74.2 out of 100 points and a grade of C. By comparison, the nation received a score of 75.2 or a C.
Florida posted a C in the Chance-for-Success category, ranking 35th on factors that contribute to a person’s success both within and outside the K-12 education system. Florida received a mark of D-plus and finished 39th for School Finance. It ranked fourth with a grade of C-plus on the K-12 Achievement Index."
Explanation of issue: I believe this text would enhance the page, adding information on the quality of the state's K-12 education which is not currently available on the page. I'm asking your consideration because I work for Education Week. I apologize if I've misformatted this or left out information you need to make a decision - I'm rather new at this.

should be re-added. It was deleted and under the edit summary it was stated that "prose test suffices" which is highly subjective, but also, comparable maps are present on pages for other states and in some cases regions. Should be re-added. Mapsandfactsarefun ( talk) 17:26, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

DannyS712 (
talk) 21:15, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Respectfully, I disagree. Firstly the issue of German and Italian is sort of beside the point, rather most of the counties that aren't "English" are places that have seen lots of immigrants from elsewhere in the United States during the last 50 years, essentially a product of the invention of the air conditioner and Florida's decades long real estate boom. Those that are "English" are generally more "southern" culturally, and politically conservative. In this regard the map absolutely does tell us about the culture of those counties, with "German" largely reflecting a plurality of people who moved there from the midwest and "Italian" largely reflecting a plurality of people who moved there from the northeast. Secondly, comparable maps are present on other pages to an extent that seems odd and inconsistent to omit this one. For these reasons I believe the map should be re-added.

The map is relevant and should absolutely be included. 50.94.198.205 ( talk) 13:02, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
I completely disagree, it appears to be neither dubious, nor unsourced. The information lines up exactly with that from the ACS data, comparable to the maps on the pages for Idaho, New England and others. It should be included. 50.94.198.205 ( talk) 17:15, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

The reference for the following sentence is wrong: "A 2013 Gallup poll indicated that 47% of the residents agreed Florida is the best state to live in. Results in other states ranged from a low of 18% to a high of 77%." 73.188.245.173 ( talk) 22:20, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Does the musical adaptation of "I am Florida" have the same legal status as "Old Folks at Home" as a state song or am I missing something? I know the law says that it supposed to supplement "Old Folks at home". Help clearing up this confusion would be much appreciated. Flags200 ( talk) 12:33, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
In my opinion, the 'Notes' tab should be removed because in my opinion it is pointless having an empty tab in the article. Xboxsponge15 ( talk) 20:29, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

"Since the mid-20th century, Florida has been considered a bellwether, voting for 15 successful presidential candidates since 1952. During such period, it has voted for a losing candidate only twice."
I believe this is referring to the 1960 and 1992 elections where Florida voted for a losing candidate. Should it be changed to three times since the state voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election, or should it be changed only when the votes are tallied by Congress?

The reference "abbott" is still defined in the reflist, but is no longer in use. This is causing a cite error. Could someone comment out or remove it?

I've seen articles with templates where there is a list of potential sources, however I tried to search for it, but with no avail. Does anyone know or can place a template for potential sources for other people? I have a particular reference that could be useful for other people on a particular section (Economy of Florida). | Remember, Imurmate ( talk) 01:49, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
The Economy of Florida is a topic of particular current interest. Here are some potential sources of information:

The last line of Elections history states that "The Democratic Party has maintained an edge in voter registration, both statewide and in 18 of the 67 counties, including Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, the state's three most populous.[198]" The source is dated to I believe 2008 and is no longer correct https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2021/11/17/milestone-moment-republicans-officially-overtake-democrats-in-florida-1394072 140.158.252.139 ( talk) 16:49, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Rick Scott was incumbent governor at the time he was elected US Senator in 2018, not former governor. He was term-limited and could not run for re-election, but he was still in that office when elected US Senator. 2600:1700:BFB0:33B0:98B0:44A2:821B:FD70 ( talk) 07:15, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
