Eyes on Miami Reference

Regarding the Eyes on Miami reference, as it is a blog, the only portion that is used is the official biography of Cava located in the second half of the reference. The first half is information that is found in the other references. --Curbon7 (talk) 11:22, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for this clarification however, per the portion of official biography on the blog, it only includes this statement, "Born in New York City, and raised across North and South America, Daniella’s family stressed giving back and working to create equal opportunity." Therefore, I have edited the statement to exclude all information not directly from this source. If you say the first half is information that is in other references please also include this reference at the end of the sentence. I cannot seem to find the information in the other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrose.1221 (talk • contribs) 00:44, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

BLP/sourcing

"Heiress to a wealthy family in New York" is verifiable here, and her wealth is mentioned here as well, though it's debatable whether or not it belongs in the article. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:00, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Wording was also adjusted to make it a bit more neutral. I felt like "heiress" was a bit of an un-neutral word due to its connotation. On the second point, I think it is generally important to explain someone's background as it may explain some of the decisions they take later in life (For example, Calvin Coolidge was born and in wealth, and when he became president, he passed a lot of austerity bills.). Also, like you mentioned, it is well sourced and mentioned in the Miami Herald. --Curbon7 (talk) 18:05, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Comment

Furthermore, I have a problem with the statement that Cava "taking her husband's last name in order to seem more appealing to Hispanic voters, who make up more than 40% of the district's population". All the article which is sourced says " Her name changed, too, with the woman who long went by Daniella Levine opting to also use her husband’s Spanish-sounding last name in a district where Hispanics make up about 40 percent of the electorate.". The main thing to take is that the article does not say the reason why Cava changed her name, but the statement from Cava's Wikipedia article does. Unless there is an article that says that Cava changed her name in order to appeal to more Hispanic voters, then we should delete the portion of the Wikipeadia statement that says " in order to seem more appealing to Hispanic voters" since there is no verifiable source and unfairly makes Cava look like she is pandering to Hispanic voters without any evidence — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fijua18 (talk • contribs) 01:16, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

'“I did think it would communicate that I spoke Spanish — even though it’s not a Spanish name, it’s an Italian name,” she said last week. She added that the weightiness of public office also prompted her to use Cava. “This is my legal name.”' - from that Miami Herald article cited. I changed the wording in the page a bit to make it a bit less controversial, but I'm just stating a fact that she has said herself. --Curbon7 (talk) 18:13, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
