PHOTOS
Miamitom 16:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC) Is "Mark Averette" the only allowed photo contributor? Are others allowed to contribute, I thought wikipedia was an open encyclopedia, but every time I contribute a photo to the Miami or South Beach pages, he deletes my contribution. I am going to file a dispute with an admin if this behavior does not stop.
Nightlife Section
right now, the article contains this text:
"According to magazines such as The New Times and Ocean Drive, South Beach has replaced Los Angeles and New York City as the United States' most popular nightlife spot."
So lets review that statement: based on two magazines which are both located in Miami and have provided no research or proof, South Beach is the most popular nightlife spot in the united states? Don't you think that the Miami New Times and Ocean Drive magazine have a vested interest in saying Miami is the most popular nightlife spot? Don't you think New York Magazine or Time Out New York have said similar things about New York City being the most popular nightlife spot? This quote fails the NPOV test, as well as failing to cite references, so I am going to remove the text.
Miami does have a big nightlife scene, but to say they are more popular than NY and LA? I need more proof than two obviously pro-Miami publications.
Gay Mecca section
Jaranda yanked the 'Gay Mecca' section for lack of citation. That's fine and all but the rest of this article is also not cited. Like for example the entire "History" section, which is full of specific assertions. Should we yank the whole article because of that or just the part about gay people? It would be nice if somebody could find citations for some of the statements asserted in the paragraph that he removed because I thought it was a good paragraph. Mostly. A little NPOV but I think it can be fixed with citations and some editing. Doesn't seem to make sense or to be very NPOV to just throw away good copy that's mostly truthful and verifiable just because it's about gay people. (Sobesurfski 18:03, 22 June 2006 (UTC))
Alternative Names
I saw that it said "also known as SoBe" in parenthesis in the first paragraph. Being a Miami native my whole life, I've never heard anyone call South Beach "SoBe" so I removed that information.
I agree that SoBe is a realtor's invention, but I would never call a cab from Miami and, when asked, say that my destination is "the beach." They'd think I was crazy. There's no scarcity of beaches around Miami. Even if the dispatcher assumed I was referring to Miami Beach - not a given - she'd want more info. It's a long strip of land, after all. "The beach" is just as big an affectation as "SoBe." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.162.201 (talk) 05:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Transportation from Miami
I just deleted the above named section from the article, as it was entirely travel guide directions, original research on bus routes and a vague unsourced report on future infrastructure plans: violations of Wikipedia is not a travel guide, no original research, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and/or verifiability. -- Donald Albury 16:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Demographics
I'm not entirely sure what the writer was trying to say with the sentence:
but whatever it was supposed to be, it isn't right. Perhaps they wanted:
66.165.176.60 (talk) 21:46, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Agreed! That sentence is flat-out ridiculous. Every person in Miami Beach speaks Spanish as a first langugage? Here's one who doesn't. That statement is patent nonsense. I live in a 200+-unit condo on South Beach. All the doormen and staff speak English; every notice the condo sends out is in fluent English and they don't even offer Spanish translations. I'm deleting the sentence. I don't need feel the need to cite sources or do any further research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.162.201 (talk) 05:
