58th largest island...
editI can't think who would want to know this. It is certainly not ledeworthy. Valetude (talk) 21:24, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Why the outrage?
edit...a stark example of severe income inequalities between year-round residents and their seasonal counterparts.
- In other words, the same as any upmarket holiday resort anywhere on earth. I think I'm hearing a bit of a Woke sermon, that seems to be popping-up in a lot of other places on Wiki. Valetude (talk) 21:30, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- The language comes straight from sources. The source cited for that sentence says "the island is actually a place where the wealth gap is starker than almost anywhere else in the United States". The WP:OTHERCONTENT idea that Wikipedia as a whole has some vague political problem isn't a constructive topic for a talk page. What specifically is not NPOV here? - Astrophobe (talk) 22:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- It is simply not a notable statement. Not encyclopedic. Valetude (talk) 22:30, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, I definitely don't agree that it's not notable. Broad details about the economy of a place are one of the first and main things that an encyclopedia article about a place should contain. - Astrophobe (talk) 22:33, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with Astrophobe. AJD (talk) 23:45, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

What about the recent situation with the migrants?
editI am not autoconfirmed, but I feel like it is notable enough for the article, there seems to be enough news coverage. MakerJulian (talk) 00:04, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
Weasel words
editRon DeSantis sent 50 asylum-seekers in what was widely described and condemned as a political publicity stunt.
These are clearly weasel words. Who exactly condemned it?--89.64.122.128 (talk) 09:33, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- @89.64.122.128: I noticed that too. Unfortunately, it's true! Most of the left-wing media did refer to this as a publicity stunt...or worse. I suspect millions of Americans would be more inclined to call DeSantis a hero though, but we'll know better after the big poll on November 8th. Best thing to do is find a couple of reliable conservative sources not listed yet at WP:RSP, and cite a few sources in support of DeSantis actions. If you get any pushback, refer to WP:DUE.

Change "illegal immigrants" to "immigrants" or "asylum seekers". As described in the page linked by that phrase, they were not illegal. 72.76.33.192 (talk) 11:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Incorrect citation
editThe part in the toponym section about it being the eighth oldest island is not in the source listed (Stewart 1945) and I couldn't find any info about it online. 128.119.202.148 (talk) 02:16, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
