Protected status
editI am going to put this article under protected status for autoconfirmed users only. The subject is a recently elected governor who defeated a controversial incumbent. Recent vandalism by un-registered editors has led me to believe that protecting this page would be a best course of action for a while. Any disagreements? --Madds212 (talk) 14:53, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Wisconsin Supreme Court – conservative majority
editIt's clearly relevant to note that the majority that ruled to end Evers' stay-at-home order were conservatives. This is something that every single reliable source that covers the decision notes and it's obviously relevant context. Furthermore, the only reason it's getting reverted is because the editor, Malerooster, has a weird creepy obsession with me and stalks me around this encyclopedia.

his education
editDoes he really have a PhD? The mini-bio on his official page (evers.wi.gov) says "doctoral degree in educational administration". I suspect it is probably an EdD rather than a PhD.HenryLarsen (talk) 10:36, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Too opinionated?
editIn the first paragraph under the ‘tenure’ section it says “ The legislature also enacted legislation to restrict voting rights,”. This may be too opinionated for Wikipedia. Benmsch (talk) 23:30, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
Neutral point of view
editI find the neutral point of view of this article to be questionable. Take this section for example:
"The problem had been created by two items in Scott Walker's 2011 "budget reforms": first, the formula for sharing state tax revenue to local governments had been adjusted to artificially create a state budget surplus by slowly starving municipalities."
Another section describes Republican-led attempts to restrict Evers' gubernatorial powers as "partisan". Pdogconn (talk) 03:53, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- How else can Republican-led efforts to restrict Evers' gubernatorial powers be described, except as "partisan"? The efforts are being done because the Republican Party is the political rival of the Democratic Party. These efforts have included preventing Evers from appointing preferred nominees, changing voting laws to benefit Republicans over Democrats, or restrict Evers' discretion in spending federal funds.
- Evers has used his veto power more frequently than any governor in Wisconsin history, as mentioned in the article, which can also be described as "partisan." Specifically, they are due to policy differences over most issues between him and the Republican-controlled Wisconsin legislature.
- I'm open to changing the word "starving," and other loaded language. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 01:57, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
