Images
For Christ's sake, shouldn't there be some warning as to these?, or even a link to an outside adress with them instead of them being on the page itself? Somewhat agressive content, taking in consideration it's a dead body, despite nosebleeds being common enough, and we shouldn't really forget that this site can easily be browsed by children of more sensitive individuals. So, hum, me lacking the knowledge as to how to act accordingly: should and can someone do something about this? User:Zeppocity

Due to the disturbing nature of the images and the availability of the photos through the links below, these photos should not be included on this page. I would ask this page be protected.

I must say I disagree with yu. I just want to show ppl how cruel this method is and to try to confront lies made by the state of Florida that found that Davis had died a painless death and was not asphyxiated. Pictures clearly show other story. On 1st picture its obvious that it was very violent death... im shure it hurted, and definitly on another its obvious that he had not enough oxygen. This pictures are here to show reality, how unhuman, and disgusting at all death punishment is. Im not saying it was unjust, or that he didnt deserve it, but ppl have to see broader picture of what all this really is. WHat is more disturbing is this. Non of yu have seen electrocution and all of yu discuss about that. When I put pictures there yu say that i'm not neutral. Altho i didn't say anything about them at all. I just wrote what state of florida said, and picture of his death. I am neutral, but reality is cold-blooded.

Look, I'm not about to argue with you about "death punishment." These pictures are available on the links of this page which is all that a topic such as this requires. Posting the pictures there because you disagree with capital punishment and because you're "shure it hurted" is expressing personal opinion which is unacceptable for this kind of article and does violate neutrality. If you want to get your point of view across, I suggest you find an appropriate forum elsewhere on the web or a seperate article here concerning contraversy surrounding the death penalty.

Rotten.com
This is not Rotten.com; there are some standards here. Tread with caution regarding these pictures. Make them available through outside links, but don't put them in the article. --DanielCD 14:23, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
now you can remove the POV tag. it seems neutral.

Fair use rationale for Image:Davis1.jpg
Image:Davis1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"beaten almost beyond recognition" by Davis with a .357 Magnum
I'm not claiming to be a gun expert here, but this statement doesn't make any sense to me. My understanding is a .357 Magnum is a type of bullet cartridge & not a handgun model. 95.45.113.179 (talk) 16:33, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Questionable content
This is an article about what appears to be atrocious murderer. I assume some notability can be argued that he was the last person in Florida executed by the electric chair. I am struggling to try to figure out the encyclopedic importance of "His last meal consisted of one lobster tail, fried potatoes, a half pound of fried shrimp, six ounces of fried clams, half a loaf of garlic bread, and 32 ounces of A&W Root Beer.". I have seen this on many of these articles and the need or importance of inclusion eludes me. Otr500 (talk) 10:19, 30 April 2017 (UTC)


 * See last meal. That is to say: we have an entire article that details the last meals of various death row prisoners.  Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 03:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
