Page Title

I think the title of this page should be "Florida State Legislature." This will give a standard to follow. For example: California State Legislature, Louisiana State Legislature, Hawaii State Legislature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DarkFrog (talk • contribs) 12:57, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably ought to go higher, worldwide. See (for example) Parliament of Victoria, which, out of the blue, might be taken by an American as something convened by the Queen in England, for some special purpose. The context of "Victoria" is totally lost until the reader sees the article. With everyone making such a fuss over Georgia (state/nation), I'm a little surprised. But anyway... I guess I tend to agree but other states, like in Australia and Brazil, etc. ought to be consulted/told (? :). And provinces/departments should follow similar rule for consistency IMO.

And (ouch!) following my own preferences for very objective (and therefore boring) names, it probably should be "Legislature of the State of Florida", "Parliament of the State of Victoria." Student7 (talk) 14:38, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the proposal to move this page to Florida State Legislature. bd2412 T 17:57, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree with the proposal to move this article to Florida State Legislature. --Nemesis63 (talk) 18:59, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Noncontroversial, so moved as proposed. Cheers! bd2412 T 19:03, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Guess I'm late to this discussion, but I believe the title of this page should be the official name of Florida's legislative body, as the body refers to itself -- which is "Florida Legislature" -- and is the name given in several parts of the Florida Constitution. What sources suggest that "Florida State Legislature" is the name of the body? –Prototime (talk · contribs) 16:22, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 I think that the name of this one is perfectly fine who ever you are I know that is your opinion but still  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.99.220.184 (talk) 21:19, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
