Talk:Vilma Espín

message: Much of this seemed to come straight from the OAS article.  Is that copyvio ?  I have reordered to group together her long-term role, he leading of delegations and family matters.  -- Beardo 21:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: It strikes me - why do we have at her full name.  She is much more commonly referred to simply as Vilma Espin. We don't use Fidel Castro Ruz etc, do we ? -- Beardo 02:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed it. There doesn't seem to be much order to the names business. I know that the Spanish wikipedia simply has Fidel Castro as well, but like us, many other pages carry both names. Maybe that is something to consider for the wikiproject!!! I'll see what can be discovered by searching for any Spanish naming conventions chats.--Zleitzen 02:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the second surname is somewhat like middle names - it is part of the legal name, but for most people it is not commonly used - though for some it is. Apart from my son, who regularly denies that he has a second surname ! -- Beardo 04:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I have classified this as a start as per WP:BIO to make it consistent with the WP:Cuba classification. The importance rating is based on the Cuban classification as well. Capitalistroadster 00:53, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Start classification

message: The article describes her as unofficial first lady from 2006 to 2007, but my understanding is that she was considered first lady from the entire period from the revolution until her death due to Fidel's secrecy about his private life. Everyking 20:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And how can we have a succession box for something like that ? How do you determine which if there are competing claimants ? (Surely Celia Sanchez was until her death ?) It's too unencyclopedic. I agree with the removal. -- Beardo 03:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: First Lady

message: I plan to add more information about Espín’s role in the government and the revolution; a separate section discussing her family will be added, and a new introduction focusing more on her actions and less on her husband and children will replace the existing one. Information about her family is still relevant, but it is not necessarily the most important aspect of Espín's life. Statements without citations will either be cited or removed, and more details about the Federation of Cuban Women will be added to that section. I plan to use the following sources to make these changes; biased sources, such as those written by Cuban leaders, will only be used to provide context for said leaders’ viewpoints.

thread_title:  Proposed edits 

message: I think you make a crucial point in making sure that her family section should be separate because she is more than her family or husband. I think it is important to credit her success without the mention of her husband. 
What will the section of her family include? 
I am excited to see your edits!
