Miguel Angel CottoPS- Sorry about the stink I caused. Your guys are quite correct about GBR usage by IOC and ISO. Forgive my naivety and stubborness, here's hoping the boxing organizations reunite, so as there's one true champion (per division). GoodDay 21:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC) This is a comment by GoodDay, posted on my discussion page, regarding the issue with Vintagekits and me. Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 17:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Could you delete this nonsense? It'd save the trouble of WP:AFD. Or do you think discussion would be best?

I've told him we need to resolve our differences via discussion, but he seems to be itching for an edit war. SamEV (talk) 03:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
VandalismI don't appreciate being accused of committing vandalism. I thought I saw a mistake on the Puerto Rico page that I tried to correct. Then I realized I was wrong, so I changed it back. No harm done. What was the point of throwing out such needless accusations? Seriously, this sort of accusatory and borderline dictatorial attitude does not reflect well on the Wikipedia editing community as a whole. I'm not asking for an apology. I just wanted you to know that you've pointlessly insulted me with your comment on one of the few times I've tried to help edit. Thanks a lot. You really showed me what happens when you're more proactive in this community. Quixoto (talk) 22:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Puerto Rican AmazonI see that you have added information on origins and relatives. Maybe this can be added to the taxonomy section instead of a new section. What do you think? Joelito (talk) 14:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

In this channel, such things disscussed will be; future developments in the cup, disscussion about points awarded, and other general WikiCup related things. You can access this channel via IRC and joining #Wikicup. A more derict link is irc://irc.freenode.net/wikicup . Thanks you. Sunderland06 (talk) 19:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC) ClementeThe summary was not intentionally misleading. I added Clemente's birthplace under his date of birth (as is common on other baseball infoboxes). The nationality line is non-functional in the baseball infobox and has no function being there. If you look at the article, the infobox does not chage at all whether or not the line is in there. It is just wasted space in that infobox. Please let me know why you feel a non-appearing field is necessary on the Clemente page. Thanks. - Masonpatriot (talk) 20:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC) Future of Task Forces(part two: Atari)(a message I left on WPVG talk page) In archive 41, we talked about sending video game series task forces into whole Publisher task forces.

Cheers, The Hybrid 16:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC) Mmm, yeah, that would be incredibly challenging. What kind of bird is it, out of curiosity? As for me, I've discovered WP:Huggle, which has to be the most powerful anti-vandalism tool I've ever seen. I downloaded it after old-school RC Patrolling just wasn't efficient enough, and I have to say the fact that this doesn't require approval scares me. I see the potential for disaster here. Cheers, The Hybrid 23:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC) Oh, they've changed the requirements since yesterday :P. Now you have to have rollback access. Well that's good. Cheers, The Hybrid 23:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC) Yeah, that thing is too powerful for its own good. I'm no stranger to powerful RCP tools, but this thing is just crazy. I've already made several mistakes due to how fast it gets going when I'm not careful. That thing is crazy.

Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC) Sharing a thoughtMy friend I just want to share a thought with you, You know, it amazes me that throughout history, the courage and commitment of the Puerto Rican soldier has been questioned. Can you believe that Major General Luis R. Esteves, the "Father of the Puerto Rican National Guard," questioned the fighting capability of our "Jibaros" and when the 65th Infantry was sent to Korea, the American high command also questioned the bravery of our men. Little did they know that the brave men form our island would eventually earn 5 Medals of Honor, 5 Navy Crosses and 15 Distinguished Service Crosses. But, what strikes me the most is the lack of knowledge of our military history that those who criticize us have had and continue to have. It seems to me that after the United States took control of our island, the heroic actions of our "Boricuas" as members of the Spanish Army and/or the Puerto Rican militia, were eliminated from our history books. Not only are our heroes of the "past" not mentioned in our educational history books, but there aren't any statues, monuments or paintings to honor them. That is why I enjoy writing about these heroes and telling the world about them. I want the world to know that our people were brave soldiers with "cojones" before the United States took over the island and they began to serve the Armed Forces of the United States. That is why I have written the stories of men such as Juan de Amezquita and the brothers Jose and Francisco Diaz. I hope that you enjoy them. Tony the Marine (talk) 05:09, 15 June 2008 (UTC) Hi BithornThe reason I added the pronunciation guide is to help other ignoramuses, like me, who thought his English-looking name was pronounced the English way until I heard it pronounced at a game at the stadium named for him.

Deletion on my talk pageHi Caribbean, is there a policy under which things like what Beh-nam's sock's comments on my talk page should be removed? I certainly appreciate the kindness, but I am quite a stickler for having things remain on talk pages and on their archives, I would prefer that the comments stay--that is, unless there is a policy under which they actually ought to/should (ie normatively) be removed. Thanks. Carl.bunderson (talk) 04:14, 18 June 2008 (UTC) Lolita LebronI saw your sandbox, good stuff. I wonder if Ramon Santiago is related to me? I bet he was, he was from Lares and Lolita was vecina of my grandparents. Another interesting thing is that one of my uncles surname was Sotomayor, I'll have to ask my father.

Just to let you know I have finished up the revision of this article, in keeping with the comments by you and other reviewers at the FAC page.

Risker (talk) 06:52, 20 June 2008 (UTC) Hi. I have suspended the GAR request in deference to WP:PUR's edit push.

You need to give an access date for web-only content because the content might change. You don't need to for a book or journal, because the content is fixed in the hard copy. A link to an on-line version is a courtesy and is not strictly speaking required (I rarely link to abstracts), and doesn't need an access date because the hard copy is the definitive form. This useful bot is actually just doing what it should and correcting formatting errors, hope this clarifies jimfbleak (talk) 05:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Managers/ValetsI wanted to discuss this with you before reverting again. I believe previous WP:PW consensus was that managers should be listed under valets. They do have different roles, in a way, so maybe the heading should be changed to "Managers/Valets" or something like that. Perhaps we should bring it up at WT:PW?

Zab JudahHey there. Thanks for the extra input at the Zab Judah GAN review. If you have any more concerns, particularly about the language, feel free to jump in and point them out. Peanut4 (talk) 00:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC) Preguntas: Francisco Coimbre was born in 1909. 1. The article states that he was 13 years old in 1922 when he moved with his family to Ponce and became interested in baseball. Yet, 2. In the "Baseball career" section it states that in "1920 participated in a championship series between his team and the team of Guayama". How could that be? He would have been 11 years old. 3. Plus, the infobox states that his Pro debut was "1920, Leones de Ponce vs. San Juan Athletics". At 11? I don't think so. I'll let you figure it out before I continue copyediting. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
1. "he was recruited by Licey to play in the Dominican Republic" - Was Licey a person or a team? 2. "Shortly after, he was offered a contract to play in La Guaira, with Santa Marta." - Was "La Guaira" a team? and what is mean't by "with Santa Marta"? 3. "In 1935 he moved to Maracaibo where he played for Pastora, in Zulia's Stadium." - Is "Pastora" a team or person? My son told me that Coimbre's son-in-law was accussed of murder for setting the house on fire. Do you think that you could check that out? I couldn't find a source on that.

User:KoziKaz 9 July 2008 Dragon Ball Z ButcheringHey, I noticed you were one of the administrators for the Dragon Ball WikiProject, and I wanted to inform you that there have been a few individuals going around deleting information on the subject. They've completely remove the Dragon Ball Z article - leaving only three paragraphs describing it on the Dragon Ball manga page. The saga summaries have also been removed. (And as the WikiProject page states, there were to be four pages dedicated to the story arcs in Dragon Ball Z.) Vandalism is a strong word, but this hits pretty darn close. A user by the name of Collectonian seems to be taking the lead among them. It's pretty clear given the negative backlash that these changes were not warranted, despite how the users in question attempt to justify them. Anyway, I can try to tackle repairs myself, but my expertise on editing Wikipedia articles is somewhat limited. Any help you can provide in fixing the damage and preventing these users from causing more is greatly appreciated!

Re:Puerto Rican CampaignI agree with you 100%. If we merge all of the battle stubs, plus I can add some extra information to it, I think that we can come up with one hell of an article, which can be very informative and educational for future generations. Tony the Marine (talk) 04:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Tony Rodríguez¡Hola C-H.Q.!
SuggestionI suggest that "Puerto Rican Campaign" be redirected (moved) to "Puerto Rico in the Spanish-American War". It seems like a more logical title and then it can be explained within the intro. that the U.S. called it the "Puerto Rican Campaign". What do you think? The person who created the "The Second Battle of San Juan (1898)" insists on a "no" merger. As far as I'm concerned there was only big Battle from May to July which included various skirmishes. Tony the Marine (talk) 22:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Pudge, etc.I am not taking a position on Puerto Rican independence, I'm merely stating facts. Over time, Puerto Rico has apparently become more autonymous, but it's not the same thing as being independent. I changed the article to say "birthplace", since that's non-POV and indisputable (assuming no one lied about where they were born). As to Rodriguez himself, if he's over the hill then maybe the Tigers got the better end of the deal. I notice the Yanks have started to lose since they got him. Maybe that's a sign. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:50, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
It's always about perceived national interest. We got ourselves into Iraq because the Bushies decided it was in our national interest. You can see how well that worked out. And we've continued to meddle with the Philippines from time to time, despite giving them independence right after WWII ended and they were, as you might say, no longer critical strategically. And about Puerto Rico, instead of being given their independence all at once, it's like we're doing it step-by-step over the last 60 years or so. We'll see how things go once Fidel kicks the bucket. Cuba is not really considered much of a "threat" anymore as such, and if things go fairly smoothly after Fidel's gone, then Puerto Rico will also become less and less important to the USA strategically. I've got a hunch that on the day Puerto Rico actually does become independent, it will be just like any other day. Of course, the USA could always play a little joke and give them their independence on July 4th. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 16:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC) Hey, you're on my wavelength about Yankee Stadium. It's the site with by far the richest history in baseball, and they're tearing it down. But professional ball is mostly about today and tomorrow, and the House that George Ruth Built has now become associated with a team that chokes. So it's time for them to trash their history and get a new start in The House that George Steinbrenner built (with a little help from the taxpayers). Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 16:51, 2 August 2008 (UTC) I see now about the plural. Duh. OK, time for the only joke I know about Puerto Rico. Actually, it's not about Puerto Rico, it's about the guy telling it, Rodney Dangerfield, and how he was always disrespected: "I won a prize the other day - a free vacation, 7 nights in Puerto Rico. No days, just 7 nights. I asked, 'What about the days?' They said, 'We don't care, just stay out of Puerto Rico!"

RE: Content BlankingHi there, recently you left me this message: Please do not replace Wikipedia pages or sections with blank content, as you did to Puerto Rico national basketball team. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. - Caribbean~H.Q. 16:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Woo38" First, thanks for the links on the subject. However, I find removing inaccurate text that cannot be verified does not constitute blanking as you mentioned nor is it considered vandalism. I would encourage you to revisit what constitutes blanking and vandalism and use the terms with greater care in the future. But for the sake of the greater good of wikipedia, rather than remove the unverifiable text completely I edited it to be more in line with the truth. Thanks. Woo38 (talk) 03:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. Actually, I do realize how much media coverage this game and all the games that year received. I'm not disputing that. What I am disputing is the term "Dream Team" when used in the sentence to describe the significance of the win. I even mentioned in my post for the greater good of Wikipedia. It was edited rather than removed because I can understand its importance in your team's history. However, when the term “Dream Team” is applied the information becomes inaccurate and a gross misrepresentation of the facts and in no way validates the content of the text, virtually or otherwise. Thanks. Woo38 (talk) 05:13, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Unnamed threadCarribeanhq; you've left this message for me... Vandalism Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Carlos Quintana page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - Caribbean~H.Q. 15:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Plus, I'd never Vandalize anyone's wiki pedia article& for you to think that I would is erronious!
Re:QuestionSure, we are the "team", but right now I'm working on two new bios. Tell me, which one did you have in mind? Tony the Marine (talk) 05:28, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Lolita LebrónThe article Lolita Lebrón you nominated as a good article has passed

Thanks for helping a concerned editor out. :) Asenine 19:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC) ChatI think that you could now nominate "Puerto Rico Campaign" for GA. I just finished writing about "Oscar Garcia Rivera, Sr.", now I will have the time to look into Trinidad. Tony the Marine (talk) 23:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC) The Content Creativity Barnstar
Re: Old timersI'd love to. If they're retired, I think we can start before the season ends. RedThunder 11:50, 17 August 2008 (UTC) Hey CHQ. I wanted to let you know that a person editing the Willie article has stated on my talk page that they are, infact, Willie himself. The editor in question keeps adding unsourced info and peacock terms into the article. If it is Willie, I dont want to see him get a block. I've left notes of AN/K and the BLP page, but those have turned up nothing. Let me know what you think. Thanks! Qb | your 2 cents 11:53, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Re:Felix TrinidadO.K., I'll be checking the other sections today. Tony the Marine (talk) 14:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
CitationsI think that you are going to have to work on the "citations" of "Pratts et al." in the "Puerto Rican Campaign" article in order for it to pass GA. They are going to ask for the name of the book, author, publisher and ISBN num. Tony the Marine (talk) 05:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
MikehuntDo you see a difference between user names "Mikehunt" and "HughJorgan"? I don't. Rklawton (talk) 19:10, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
User:Pr4everI want to discuss User:Pr4ever, who is one the best that we have and an asset to the Boricua's in Wiki. It seems that he/she was working on an article about Rick Amon, and right away someone came and nominated it for "Speedy Delete", without giving anyone an opportunity to express thier opinion. Neeedless to say the article was quickly deleted and "Pr4ever" became disillutioned with Wikipedia. I recovered the article and posted it in a "workshop" which I created for him/her. If possible, I would like for you to go over his/her talk page and encourage User:Pr4ever to stay. I would hate to loose "Uno de los Buenos". Tony the Marine (talk) 23:11, 24 August 2008 (UTC) CongratsFelicidades on Trinidad. I know how much you wanted that one to pass and I'm happy to be a very small part of it. What I can't understand what is taking Puerto Rican Campaign so long! Everytime that I finish an article, I tell myself "That's enough, now it is time to rest", but then I find another Boricua, whose contributions have fallen into the cracks of history and I find myself correcting this wrong by writing about him/her. I have two more projects before I can look into the articles that you recomended. Tony the Marine (talk) 00:43, 30 August 2008 (UTC) PRCMira mi hermano, cite el libro tuyo en la seccion "Strengh" del infobox, para que esta gente no "jodan" mas. I will find the proper citation later on and add it. I have been so absorbed with the research on the Isabel Gonzalez article which I just finished that I haven't had time for anything else for now. Cheers! Tony the Marine (talk) 07:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
{{weight}} redirectHi, There were no articlespace transclusions of this template as a conversion tool, so it was safe to re-use it for a different purpose. By redirecting it again, you broke several transclusions which expected it to show up as a cleanup template. Just to let you know that I've redirected this again.

RequestSomeone is looking into the "PR Campaign" GA adn it is on "hold". I took care of some of the concerns.
"IKE"I will be praying for your safety. Let me know how things turned out after the strom. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:41, 7 September 2008 (UTC) KratosDespite how common the term might be, it's entirely inaccurate. Kratos isn't a traditional "good guy", and labelling him as such is misinformation. The developers refer to him as an antihero as well, so what's the problem?

List of BoricuasThanks for keeping an eye out the "list", I really need all the help that I can get to ensure that the "rules" are followed. How you doing with the storm situation?

Did you know that the ship in which Isabel Gonzalez arrived in New York where she was detained as an alien and where she denounced the promises that General Nelson A. Miles made to the people of Puerto Rico, the SS Philadelphia was once the USS Yale, the ship in which General Nelson used to invade Guanica? I had a minor discussion with a someone in the "Gonzalez" talk page which you might find amussing.

Will do soonYes, will work with you soon on some more "GA's." Do you have any suggestions? Right now I have in mind a minor project. It is a pity how some people tend to delude the educational content of an article such as the one of Puerto Rico with the intent of converting it into a political forum. Maybe a mention of the Gonzales v. Williams case in the article could enlighten and educate many as to the initial opposition in the United States to US citizenship for Puerto Ricans? Tony the Marine (talk) 00:32, 29 September 2008 (UTC) You're quite right...I know jack about sport in Puerto Rico, and frankly I don't care about sport in Puerto Rico. What I do care about is ensuring that Wikipedia is both correct and uniform. Now, seeing as you seem to be from Puerto Rico, why don't you do everyone a favour, be helpful and figure out exactly what flag should be placed in the area we have been 'discussing' and, if there is no image on Wikipedia, then make one and upload it. Hammersfan 29/09/08, 13.18 BST Una EspinaRemember some years ago when my article "Puerto Ricans in NASA" was placed in "AfD" and it was deleted? I wrote that article with a lot of pride and it has been an espinita on my side. However, I wasn't about to give up. I have just about finished up on my latest project which should take out that espinita. I would like for you to have the pleasure of looking at the preview: Preview.

Tony the Marine (talk) 05:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Note, before you put up the List of Puerto Rican boxing world champions for FLC, my son Antonio Jr. will like to look at it. He will get in touch with you. One thing that I would like to suggest and that I think would help is this, in the "table" add a section for the name of the association "WBC", "WBA", "WBO", etc. for which each champion won the title. I think that it is important since now-a-days there are so many associations that people have trouble finding out the association which the the boxer fought for. Tony the Marine (talk) 05:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
A few fansIf only a few fans can enter the ring after a match, then it's still possible for one of those "few" fans to take a shot at that particular person. 124.106.201.49 (talk) 22:23, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Puerto Rican CuisineI have taken care of the Orlando Cepeda situation and believe that it can be worked into a "GA" in the future. I am also requesting a discussion in the talk page of Puerto Rican Cuisine to settle the war-editing going on. 19:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
