Hi there! I removed the word transphobic from the first line because I felt it gave the artice a partisan tone. Wikipedia has to ensure that articles are written impartially (describing rather than engaging in disputes) and from an impersonal and dispassionate tone, even on topics that evoke great emotional reactions. Articles have to lay out the facts, so that readers can come to their own conclusions (here, that the law is transphobic). The use of 'anti-trans' is within a quote by a notable civil rights lawyer and trans-rights activist. It might be that this quote fits better in the 'Responses' section; I will have another look over the article when I get time later to update it and clean it up. If there's anything else, please ping me by using {{ping|Gazamp}} at the start of your message. Thanks, Gazamp (talk) 09:52, 8 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Zetana: Does the veto override mean that the bill never actually got 'signed' into law? Here it suggests that bills don't need signatures to become law, but on the Arkansas Legislature site it says that the bill gets transmitted back to the Governor's office. Any advice? Thanks, Gazamp (talk) 17:29, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Gazamp: Okay, so it looks like when a veto is overridden, the bill passes into law without a signature. (Here's a list of vetoes by state, none of which mention anything about a post-veto override signature.) Not entirely sure what to put in the infobox since I don't see a veto parameter in it, though. Any ideas? Zetana (talk) 22:15, 24 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Zetana: Thanks for finding that out - it looks like the infobox stays as is then if there isn't a signature to add. The template doesn't include anything to do with vetoes but it's all well explained in the article so I'm not super worried. Thanks again for the detective work!
