[edit] March 2008

After having watched the real Maria Rivas (I don't believe that User:Maria Rivas is the artist at all) in actual performance once again, I was curious whether there was an article about her. To my dismay, I found it very lacking, and having this scandalous copyright problem. I have started to rewrite the article in its entirety, in order to save it: please be patient. Maria Rivas deserves better. --AVM (talk) 20:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
