Your mail
[edit]Hi, I received this mail from you:
- Hi, thank you very much for your compliments, appreciate it!! Where can I find the list of abbreviations used here, is kind of confusing sometimes. I edited another article related to Sir Ralph Abercrombie and some one just deleted, what can I do about it? Thank you for your help.
It's probably best to keep most communication on wiki via talk pages like this, and I've added it to my watch list and will see what you say. That way if others see questions, maybe they can answer them too. Most of us use mail only for very sensitive matters....
To your particular points... A list of abbrebiations is hard to come by, there are so many. Usually they're given as a link though (WP:AGF for example likes to Assume Good Faith) which helps. I bet there might be good info at Wikipedia:Shortcuts.
On your second point, if a whole article has been deleted, review the deletion discussion if there is one (what is the link? Sir Ralph Abercrombie?? that link did not work for me... you should try to always give links to things if you can) and if you don't agree, take it to WP:DRV (the deletion review process) and explain why it shouldn't have been deleted. Or do you mean that info you added to an article got removed again? The thing to do there is talk about it on the talk page. If you add unsourced info people often will ask for the source, the fix for that is just give the source on the talk page and ask that someone help you add it as a cite. We prefer that information be cited, as this is an encyclopedia.
Hope that helps, and happy editing. ++Lar: t/c 16:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you
[edit]I want to thank you for your contributions. A couple of years ago I was shocked to see that there was no "actual" or "real" military history of Puerto Rico in the internet and that if you tried to find anything on the subject, you only found sites which made you believe that the military history of the island started with the establishment of the 65th Infantry. I told myself "Man, this isn't right! I'm going to do something about it!" That's when I decided to write the article. To my joy it has been acclaimed. I just wanted to share this with you and welcome you here. I have another article which has been well received, check it out Pedro del Valle. Tony the Marine 00:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Verifiable Sources
[edit]Que pasa compadre? I know that there are certain things in life that bother us but, that's life. O.K., so you have your PhD in history (Which is very admirable) and I am a member of Mensa International. When it comes to writing articles in Wikipedia, it doesn't mean a thing if we do not follow the guidelines established. One of those guidelines clearly state that "Original Research" is not allowed, only reliable sources which can be verified by other editors in the "net". I don't make the rules here, I just follow them and inforce them.
I respect the fact that a "scholar" like Lopez Cantos has written about Miguel Enriquez but, to state that "Enriquez in 18th Century was considered the richest man in the New World" seems a little too far fetched. Considered by whom? The "richest" man in the world? Richer then the King of Spain, King of England? This sounds as "point of view". Where's the proof of these claims? Don't tell me that just because Lopez Canto states this in his book that it is a fact. As a historian you should know that history if based on facts and not what may be considered as "POV" and that many scholars and historians alike rewrite history to acommadate their beliefs.
Now let me remind you that I am not indicating that yours and Lopezs position is as you say "plain historical incompetency", these statements may be true but, unless they can be verified on a reliable source they will be deleted. It is policy, not me.
I respect you for your knowledge and I expect the same from you to me. If you looked at my User page you would have realized that I have contributed more to Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican related articles here in the "Pedia" then anybody and that thanks to my efforts more English speaking people are learning about our wonderful island and its people. Que Dios te bendiga. Tony the Marine 19:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I'll help you
[edit]Look the best thing to do is go to the article and post the information there. Then after the "See also" section create a Reference section and post this " Enriquez, Miguel (1674-1743) Author: Angel Lopez Cantos, Publisher:Ediciones Puerto, 1998, ISBN: 0-942347-10-2. But, post the page where that specific information can be found and that should take care of things. Que Dios te bendiga, again Tony the Marine 19:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I would like to pay a small tribute in this edition to Tony "the Marine". Editing since May 24, 2004, he has been one of our project's most active editors and has become one of Wikipedia's most recognized writers. He has authored over 400 articles, including 4 Featured Articles, 1 Featured List, 10 Good Articles, and 28 DYKs. His name has appeared in newspapers and magazines and has been mentioned by politicians and artists. He has brought Puerto Rico's history and its people to the web. He has shown the world that Puerto Ricans have done much more than just be gangsters and drug dealers. He has shown the world that we have contributed to history and the world just as much as any other group of people. On September 29, 2007, Tony announced that we would not be writing for Wikipedia anymore. We, the members of this project, are sad that he will not be able to continue to spread the word of Hispanics' contributions here on the web, but I, for one, feel honored that he has entrusted us with the duty of continuing and improving his excellent work. Tony, rest assured that your contributions, your wisdom, and the help you provided to all of us when we were new users will be remembered for generations. Que Dios te bendiga, Tony, y que tu recompensa sea grande en el Reino de los Cielos. Viva Puerto Rico libre. —Agüeybaná 16:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC) |

Saludos to all, I present to you the new version of our project's Newsletter. It has been almost a year since the last edition, but rest assured that we haven't been lazy. Our Good Article count has raised by 11, while we have produced two Featured Lists and two Featured Articles. I will tweak the delivery format, from now on the Newsletter will be delivered per season. That means four anual editions, one for summer, fall, winter and spring. Speaking of summer, it has been a hot one, make sure to check out the project news below. I will also introduce a new section titled "Puerto Rican Highlight" where we will comment about positive accomplishments reached by Puerto Ricans and our representative organizations. - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:17, 29 August 2008 (UTC) |

Hello, In terrorem Fidei defenso. This is the sixth issue of WikiProject Puerto Rico's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members to keep up with the latest news relating to the project. Continuing our new format, this issue will discuss the news, achievements and other incidences relevant to our project between fall and winter. - Caribbean~H.Q. 22:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC) | |
Greetings, during the past months, there has been a lot of activity and active discussion surrounding articles within our scope. Of particular interest is one that took place in Flag of Puerto Rico, in which several project members exposed their points of view regarding the tones of our flag. Ultimately, research brought forth a severe loophole in the regulation employed by the Senate of Puerto Rico. Our flag doesn't have official tones! Attempting to prevent future conflicts, I presented a proposal in the project's talk page. The subsequent discussion served as an perfect example of consensus. Thanks to everyone for your participation. In other news, our friend Tony the Marine added another impressive achievement to his brilliant resume. On December 8, 2008, his DYK hook for Ivan Castro (soldier) broke the previous all-time record for more views, receiving 71,300 visits. Tony has also been actively cooperating with this Newsletter, the inclusion of a new "Did you Know?" section, was entirely his idea. - Caribbean~H.Q. 22:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |
