Hey all! I’m planning on adding to this article, here are some references that I think will be very helpful and informative. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions for other references or thinks one of my sources wouldn’t work.

These look like a great start: you've come up with some sources that meed community standards for peer reviewed, reliable secondary sources. Katherine.Holt (talk) 00:36, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One more idea: Sterling, Philip. The Quiet Rebels; Four Puerto Rican Leaders: José Celso Barbosa, Luiz Muñoz Rivera, José de Diego, Luiz Muñoz Marin. Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, 1968. Katherine.Holt (talk) 16:22, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Future Plans for the Article

I hope to clean up this article, and add pertinent information regarding the Unionistas policies and political actions. I feel that the Unionistas, and especially the later participation of Luis Munoz Rivera and how this culmination of what appeared to be a shift towards colonial sympathy by other party members (as a result of Rivera’s involvement with the Jones Act) resulted in the party losing influence and sway. I hope to create a “legacy”, or “influence”, section to the article. This can be done by combining the final two sections of the article (“Reorganization”, and “Birth of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party”). Elyseeche (talk) 20:57, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like a good plan to reorganize and strengthen this article. As you look for more sources, there is a lot on political figures like Muñoz Rivera in the Library of Congress and U.S. House of Representatives Archive. Katherine.Holt (talk) 16:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
