WikiProject Puerto Rico To-do:

There are two other known uses of the word "ponce".

Ponce (I'll have to check) possibly with an eacute at the end, was a composer of music for the guitar (amongst other things) - probably first name Emmanuel - again I'll have to check.

In UK English ponce is a rather pejorative term - "he was a ponce" - "he was poncing about" - I'll have to check against the dictionary. David Martland 08:32 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)

I believe the original meaning of the word is pimp. – Smyth\^talk 15:52, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but this is very much not current usage. PeterBrett 21:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

yes, but wikipedia is not a dictionary...

The composer's first name was Manuel - I've added a note on him. --Camembert

[edit] Pedro Rosselló

Former Gov. Pedro Rosselló was not born in Ponce, so I removed his name from the information. Thief12 23:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] npov

Someone wrote some very NPOV commenta about Ponce, such as Pristine, unique, beautiful...hey I know Ponce is all that, been there 200 times, I started this article and I love Ponce....but does everyone else feel like me? lol

So we need to keep a NPOV watch on this page in case that person does come again.

Thanks and God bless you!

The logo should not be animated, especially at the speed it is currently playing at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.108.145.31 (talk) 18:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
