I've restored the content blanked repeatedly the aptly named Cleanupcrew2. Although they state that the source provided does not state that the affair was sexual in nature, it is included in the very first sentence of the Miami Herald article.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots18:40, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also note that press releases are primary sources and cannot be used in this case. Wikipedia includes information published in reliable secondary sources, as the Miami Herald is here. Another source, the Sun-Sentinel, states "Two South Florida state senators went public Tuesday to acknowledge their extramarital affair as the Florida Legislature convened under a cloud of sexual impropriety". Even if you want to try to make the argument that the admitted affair was completely non-sexual in nature despite the sources, and there was consensus here that that argument was valid, then only the word "sexual" would need to be removed, not the entire statement. Finally, the argument presented by Cleanupcrew2 in this edit summary that the admitted affair is irrelevant is also incorrect based on multiple reliable sources, such as this Tampa Bay Times article, which explains that the affair is specifically notable due to the conflict of interest it invokes due to the two subjects' positions in Government. --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots19:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is stated in the news media -- but they altered the story. The press release from Senators Flores and Braynon never mention sexual misconduct/affair. The videos don't show anything graphic either. Therefore, the comments added are assumptions and irrelevant to the Senator's political career. It is a personal matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cleanupcrew2 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are not reading any of the policy-based information that is being provided to you. The press releases are primary sources and cannot be used. The information that is included in Wikipedia articles is based on material published in secondary sources known for their reliability and fact-checking (e.g. the myriad major news publications covering the story). I've also provided additional information above, also from reliable secondary sources, that the affair is tied to Flores' career due to the conflict of interest involved. You must get consensus for teh removal of the material here as opposed to repeatedly blanking content you don't think reflects well on Anitere Flores.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots19:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Add: I've switched "sexual affair" to "extra-marital affair" which conforms with what all of the reliable sources state and should address your reason for repeated blanking.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots20:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
