You start a paragraph in Attorney General of Florida stating that Pam fought LGBTQ rights and your source is “the advocate” which is clearly biased towards one side and is not a valid source. I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be unbiased. Felonious Trunk (talk) 00:33, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Having just protected the page (ECP) it would be inappropriate for me to edit it. That said, I agree. The Advocate is a suboptimal source for that claim. We would need multiple unbiased RS sources. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:48, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- The primary issue with that paragraph is the phrasing. Saying she "fought LGBT rights" is inherently taking a position. Saying "she defended a voter-approved ballot initiative defining marriage as between one man and one woman against a legal challenge arguing it discriminated against same-sex couples" would be a more accurate, and neutral, framing. agomulka (talk) 01:06, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ad Orientem: For now, I have replaced the Advocate ref with the existing Politico ref which does mention the ban. I'll leave the question of phrasing to those who know the nuances of the marriage debates in the US better than I do. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email · global) 01:20, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- This might be a better source than either the Politico or the Advocate, as it is from a local outlet and describes the legal process in greater detail than the Politico article and from a more neutral perspective: https://www.ocala.com/story/news/2014/10/13/florida-attorney-general-pam-bondi-seeks-finality-on-same-sex-marriage-issue/31946833007/ agomulka (talk) 01:27, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
Later life as a heading?
editIncredibly Strange heading title for someone that is 59 and still newsworthy and active. 182.158.83.164 (talk) 00:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
Biased Phrasing in Tenure section
edit"Bondi opposed same-sex marriage and other LGBT rights issues on behalf of the state" is a loaded/biased framing of her legal work. A more neutral phrasing might read "In her role as Florida attorney general, Bondi defended a voter-approved initiative defining marriage as between one man and one woman against a legal challenge that argued it discriminated against same-sex couples." agomulka (talk) 01:02, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
