I believe both this article and its talk page will probably have to be deleted and started over due to significant amounts of material in both the article and its talk page due to violations of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Please immediately remove any information about any living person that does not have a reliable source from both the article and the talk page. I do not read Spanish, and in the absence of a responsible Spanish speaking editor, will after a short time, delete all material violating Biographies of living persons that does not have a good source in a reliable publication in English.

I have verified that Virginia Vallejo ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indeed the subject of this article. That account is not blocked. Please do not remove comments that she may make on the talk page, unless, of course, they violate Biographies of living persons. Fred Talk 21:03, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
This significant and noteworthy fact is currently mentioned only in a subclause, and one without a reference: In early July 2006, Vallejo offered her testimony in the case against Alberto Santofimio,[38] a former Justice Minister and associate of Pablo Escobar, head of the Medellín cartel and her lover from 1983 to 1987.
Please add this to the chronology of her biography as its own statement, source this fact specifically (and then probably add it to the lead as well). CapnZapp ( talk) 09:41, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
I am a journalist, an editor of media outlets, and a professional editor of Wikipedia. Among my works for Wikipedia in English is the page of Prof. Jaime Jaramillo Arango.
Virginia Vallejo is a well-recognized journalist and a celebrity anchorwoman with a career of 45 years and awards, and also a bestselling author of Penguin Random House. She makes her living from her work, and it is unfair to eliminate her last job in 2019 before the pandemic.
We are requesting to unprotect the page, so we can post her recent work for the leading international television channel RT; a link to the movie Loving Pablo based on her book; and a link that proves her legal residence in Miami, Florida, since her arrival to the United States in a special flight of the DOJ on July 18, 2006.-- Bloque5 ( talk) 01:09, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
Virginia Vallejo is a political asylee with many enemies among the Colombian government, leading media that support presidents and their families, and the military. In 2009, they tried to kill her in Miami, the reason why the United States granted her political asylum the following year. She makes her living from her work as a television journalist and an author.
Recently, Wikipedia editor/s vandalized her biography with her recent work, both in the introduction of her biography and in the section Career in the Media. It is unfair for a persecuted political asylee that Wikipedia allows vandals to eliminate her recent work as a journalist; the links to her bestselling book translated to 15 languages; and the movie Loving Pablo, inspired in her memoir and with Penelope Cruz in the role of the Colombian journalist.
We are requesting to unprotect the page, so we can post again her last work before the pandemic; the above mentioned links, and a link that proves her residency in Miami, Florida, since her arrival to the United States in a special flight of the DOJ/DEA on July 18, 2006 to save her life, and testify in high-profile criminal cases like the assassination of a Colombian presidential candidate and the massacre of the siege of the Palace of Justice that resulted in convictions of 23 years in jail to a former justice minister and 40 years to retired generals and colonels, respectively.
For these reasons, we are requesting to reinstate the texts and links vandalized by editor/s that acted as enemies of Vallejo’s work.
A. In the introduction:
In 2007, she published her first book, Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar, which led the Colombian justice system to reopen the cases of the Palace of Justice siege (1985), and the assassination of the presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galán (1989). [1] The book was translated to fifteen languages and made into a movie in 2018. [2]
Vallejo currently resides in Miami, Florida. [3] In 2019, she returned to her work as a television journalist for the international channel Actualidad RT. [4]
B. In Career in the Media, 2019:
A brief description of her last work before the pandemic, with the links that support it:
In 2019, Vallejo returned to her work as a television journalist for the international channel RT en Español or RT Actualidad. The twelve episodes, titled as "Sueños y Pesadillas" - "Dreams and Nightmares" in English - were inspired by the "American dream". During her interviews to dozens of Latino immigrants, aspiring politicians and prominent writers like Isabel Allende, [5] Vallejo described many of the problems facing the United States, like the huge gap between wealth and poverty, violence and guns, LGBTQ and discrimination of gender, and the high cost of healthcare, among others.

The recent work of Virginia Vallejo, the Colombian television journalist, author and political asylee, disappeared from her Wikipedia page recently.
In consequence, I am requesting Wikipedia to revert the edits made by the user David_Gerard on June 14, 2021, so other editors can put a brief description of Vallejo’s last work.-- Bloque5 ( talk) 00:28, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
