Reference Information for Tanya Rivero

Article Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanya_Rivero In question: According to your Wiki page, "She was born December 12 1955 in NY."

My question is about the accuracy of the stated birth date. Interestingly, on this morning's "ABC World News Now" program, Ms. Rivero stated one of her sons is about to start kindergarten.

A birth date of December 12, 1955 implies that today (09/06/2011) Ms. Rivero is 55 years old.

Given the average age that many children start kindergarten, Ms. Rivero's stated Wiki birth date would mean that a 55-year-old mom has a son (or two) that young. If the child is an adopted child, then I could see this being possible. However, if this son is her biological child, then I would question the validity of the Wiki birth date.

In my opinion, Ms. Rivero is one of the most beautiful women in all of broadcast news. No doubt her past background as a professional dancer has contributed to her youthful looks. She looks a LOT younger than 55. I hope your Wikipedia staff can validate that stated birth date, perhaps by considering whether the source of the information was correct and verifiable.

I've removed it old bean - the chap who added it didn't say where he'd picked up the gen, so it can't be used. Besides speculating about a lady's age isn't the done thing what. Quintessential British Gentleman (talk) 16:08, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
