The result of the move request was: Moved. I see no reason why an emdash would be appropriate for this kind of title; those are for specifying ranges, while hyphens are for conjoining two nouns together.

Support. I can see no reason for an em-dash in this title, as the name does not reflect a range.

Generated metric conversion error in "Area" table for Wlevation
The Area table has an obvious error for conversion for feet to meters at Highest elevation
Source provides elevation of 35(+5) but meters listed incorrectly as 22.
No idea what "+5" means in this context here or at source doc.
35 ft per source ×12 inches/ft ÷39.37inches/meter = 10.67 or 11m rounded.
Max is 40' and 40×12 inches/ft ÷39.37inches/meter = 12, so conversion should read 11(+1)m, or 11-12m, or perhaps elim. the unsupported/undefined +5 and just say 35 ft /11m?
Not sure how to correct, nor how to check to see if this error is pervasive in other calcs.

The elevation data in the infobox is cited to
peakbagger.com, which gives the highest elevation as "35+ feet, 11+ meters". A recent discussion at
Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 362#Is Peakbagger.com a reliable source? raised some issues about the reliability of peakbagger, although comments were slightly in favor of accepting it as reliable. In any case, I recommend just using "35" in the convert template, leave off the plus sign and everything following it. I suspect the convert template will then work correctly. -

sounds great, Donald Albury! I agree.

Donald Albury, Yes, elimination of range was needed to correct calc'd metric conversion. Thx.

I had forgotten that there are ways of showing a range using "|to|", "|-|", and "|and|", see the top section of
Template:Convert. -

Miami-Dade County, Florida → Miami-Dade County – There is no other county in the world with the same name. This constitutes as a case where no disambiguation is needed, Florida is not needed in the article title.

Oppose move per
WP:USPLACE.
Miami itself is on the AP Stylebook list, but that shouldn't extend to the county. O.N.R.(talk) 15:16, 23 January 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose per the reasons given by Old Naval Rooftops. Every other county in the U.S. uses the same format. There is value in consistency. -
Donald Albury 15:53, 23 January 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose per the reasons given by ONR, as stated above. --
Alexf(talk) 16:58, 23 January 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose I understand the reasoning, but please read about how Wikipedia follows what is known as the "comma convention" per
WP:PLACE (specifically
WP:USPLACE) and AP Stylebook. –

Third Party Presidential Election Results
Presidential election results table shows a combined third party vote winning the county in 1924. While this is true, these are multiple combined candidates and the official plurality winner of the county in that election was the Democrat. I believe it should be recolored blue with the Third party text still bolded and a footnote added to state in so many words that while third parties won more votes than either major party candidate, this is an agglomeration and that a third party candidate did not win the vote.
