Talk:Ray Rodrigues

I believe most of the current article was written by a staffer.
Specifically, I’m referring to the May 20, 2019 edit by Dewey6427, which greatly expanded the article with an unusual — even aberrant — degree of detail about Sen. Rodrigues’s legislative actions. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen that level of comprehensiveness for federal legislators, let alone local ones.

That edit was also the second-ever for that account, whose first was on this very same article. That was a deletion of several sentences regarding legislation that arguably painted his boss in a worse light, but it doesn’t read to me as meaningfully more biased than the passages in the supposedly unbiased article written by somebody with intimate knowledge of his activities (most of the articles referenced mention Sen. Rodrigues only in passing, which suggests that the editor simply knew where to look).

And while another user challenged the edit at the time, Dewey persisted, the user moved on, and the article has remained in this form for over two years.

But since the senator is in the news again for a bill just signed by Governor DeSantis to require surveying university students for their views, I wanted to raise this concern about potential NPOV editing by someone close to him. Encyclopedia Lu (talk) 06:35, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
