This man was NOT appointed governor at all. He was asked to be an acting governor until someone capable to be governor could arrive. This wikipedia is becoming an ethnic breeding ground for those who use it to ligt themselves and put other ethnic groups in a bad light. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.32.55.194 (talk) 05:25, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. I agree with you that it is better read as " "appointed as acting governor of Puerto Rico". However, there is no reason to over react and your comments such as "putting ethnic groups in a bad light" seem racist and are not-welcomed in Wikipedia. There is a difference between ethnicity and nationality. De Leon's ethnicity was "White", his nationality " a Spanish subject/Puerto Rican. There are too many people out there who confuse "Puerto Rican" as an ethnicity when in reality it is a nationality. Tony the Marine (talk) 20:49, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
