Vandalism

[edit]

Someone is reverting this article to the previously plagiarized content. I propose safe guarding this page from future vandalism. --Jutland86 (talk) 04:23, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have added pending changes protection. Please place a request at WP:RfPP is further protection is needed. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the source for the (allegedly) plagiarized material? I've been editing a glut of something, but the block of text read more like a high school promotional piece from her agents.
In any case, the article badly needs references.

Improvements

[edit]

I see someone has worked to improve this article. This is good, it actually looks like a real article now not something that was copied from the her univision website and translated to english using google translate... I agree with Unicorn, this article needs to be cleaned up further... --Jutland86 (talk) 00:12, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birth year 1977? 1980? 1983? 1986?

[edit]

A user created an account apparently for the sole purpose of editing Mayra Verónica's birth date. S/he keeps changing Verónica's birth year from 1977 to 1980 (someone else used 1986) and removing the IMDb citations, which is considered reliable. While her birth certificate is in Cuba which makes it hard to prove, most non-blog sites show a birth year of 1977. That said, it appears someone's been fudging, because you'll also find birth years of 1980 and 1983 (and a couple of cases in which the birth year only is coyly omitted).

IMDb, which is highly reputable, lists her birth year as 1977 in English[1] and Spanish.[2]

The majority of celebrity sites list her birth in 1977 in English,[3][4][5] [6][7], Spanish including AOL's Celestrellas[8], and even German.[9]X17 Agency Celebs reports her being 31 years old in 2008, which means 1977.[10]

A birth date of 1983 is also showing up on sites. One site lists both 1977 and 1983.[11] I tried to be fair and list all 3 dates with references, but above-mentioned user purged it.

Finally, her official or semi-official fan site lists her birth year as 1977,[12] and last, Celebrity Birthday lists her as 32 years old, born in 1977.[13]

Is it possible those bloggers are right and the IMDb and celebrity sites are wrong? Of course. But in the absence of proof to the contrary, I suggest we go with IMDb and the celebrity sites with a date of 1977. In any case, editors mustn't strip out references and citations that dispute their preconceptions. I added internal notes not to change the birth year unless we learn something different.

And still going… --Unicorn Tapestry {say} 04:21, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While restoring this section, I noticed one fundamental flaw: imdb may not be used as a reliable source on wikipedia for bio details; this is a WP policy/guideline. Sorry, I don't have a good link at hand, maybe WP:IMDB. Materialscientist (talk) 04:38, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Josephzemskova23 (talk) 04:11, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this source is not reliable, see WP:RS. Materialscientist (talk) 06:27, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you controlling this page?? This page has some new edits that need to be added and you blocking it? like new Billboard charts, new press..this is not right that this page belongs to the artist and your putting in correct info Mr. editor

Josephzemskova23 (talk) 04:49, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been semiprotected because of repeated violations of wikipedia policies on biographies of living people, but you can always propose an addition here. Materialscientist (talk) 04:52, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Im with Mayra's management team...your info is not correct. How can we discuss on the phone to fix this? Josephzemskova23 (talk) 07:46, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to add/correct information, provided it is supported by reliable and verifiable sources. A minor note, please use the "edit request" template only when submitting a specific request to change a certain part of the article. Materialscientist (talk) 07:52, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

who is editing this page why are you not letting me update Mayra;s info??Im her manager I need to update new information..Please help me with this..Tis is not fare you are not letting me update current production, new music , etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.151.23 (talk) 04:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will gladly help you with formatting your edits, but first, you must provide reliable reference(s) supporting your addition [1]. This is a requirement for WP:BLP articles, especially on celebrities. Materialscientist (talk) 04:34, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
About her billboard new cover of July 2011: http://blog.music.aol.com/2011/07/26/billboard-mayra-veronica/; video featuring Antonio Sabato Jr: http://blog.music.aol.com/2011/08/18/mayra-veronica-freak-like-me-video/
Both are blogs. My firewall blocks the 1st one (can check it later from another PC) and the second merely supports the existence of 'Freak Like Me', and that Sabato is in it, but not the other information in your edit. Materialscientist (talk) 05:19, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]


watch the video Antonio Sabatio Jr. is in it also here is the press release http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mayra-veronicas-pop-anthem-freak-like-me-brings-lyrics-to-life-in-seductive-new-music-video-128176558.html Also she was born in 1980 the IMDb is not correct: here is a link from Billboard and AMG 2 very reputable sources. Please help me edit as well.

I've changed the birth year and added some details that you were trying to add today. It is really important to provide a reliable reference with the non-trivial facts that you add (like chart positions, work in progress, future projects, etc.). Some of such facts are still unsourced in the article, meaning they can be removed at will. Materialscientist (talk) 06:36, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I noticed this was on Mayra Veronica's page, it seems libelous and defamatory not to mention every time I write an edit with actual links and citations it is getting rejected with actual citations to online pages with history, yet this which has no citation to prove its authenticity remains.

She was also an exotic dancer at Pure Platinum in Ft. Lauderdale for a few years as well as at Scores in New York.[7] 23.242.129.184 (talk) 18:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For context, you made this edit yesterday as the California IP 23.242.129.184, followed a few minutes later by this edit as User:MVAENT. To me, the edits looked like they were connected because they both removed negative information and added positive information along with puffery such as "renowned" and putting her next to "other celebrities". To me, the MVAENT username looks like someone who is retained to promote Verónica. I gathered that the recent edits were a violation of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline.
Regarding your request about the "exotic dancer" bit, I'm removing it. It was added in 2020 by someone from Atlanta who did not cite a source.[2] They also changed her birth year to 1970,[3] so you know it was an unmerited attack. Binksternet (talk) 19:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that. I am actually somewhat new to the forum and had been looking at other Cuban celebrities like Ana de Armas. I remembered her from Univision and looked up this one, after looking through the page I began googling a lot of the information and realized there are a lot of valid citations that are not included on the page. Like her ringing the Nasdaq Bell with its article on the Nasdaq Website, or the signing with BMG and their announcement of it on their website. Are you able to help me validate most of the information on the page with citations if I provide them? 23.242.129.184 (talk) 22:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also I didn't see her filmography or Television appearances and those are verified on IMDB, if you can help guide me towards making verified changes with proper citations that would be great. 23.242.129.184 (talk) 22:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
