[edit] Nota
I read your comments in the talk page of El Grito de Lares. Just wanted you to know that it is great to have another Boricua around. Tony the Marine 04:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of Puerto Ricans
One of the main concerns about the "list" is that it is getting out of control and that many names of people who have only had their "15 minutes of fame" or simply are non-notables are being added. I propose that we set up guidelines as to who should be admitted with a clear definition as to the terms "notable" and "fame". I am calling upon the parties interested to express their opinion and to help develope these guidelines. I believe that after we take a vote and reach a consensus, said guidelines should be followed and posted either on the article or the articles talk page. We need your help. Tony the Marine 19:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I totally agree. I believe that those that only had their 15 minutes of fame should not be included. We have quite a lot of notable Puerto Ricans, as noted on boricuafirst.com, that have contributed immensely to make this a better world. (Cesar)

[edit] Check this out
Check out this entery in the Portal:Puerto Rico/Did you know
"That Puerto Rico is not a country, but is a Commonwealth of the United States?" and
"That Puerto Rico has never been a country?"
I don't know, but that doesn't make any sense to me. What do you think? Tony the Marine 06:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Man, I haven't heard from you for sometime. What have you been doing? Did you that Senator K. McClintock spoke about me in his Memorial Day speech? Check out what he said over here: User:Marine 69-71/Why do I write in Wikipedia. Tony the Marine 01:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Welcome back!! We thought you were away for good. I put a message on top advising users that you hadn't edited since December 2006. But its good to hear of your return. Wikipedia needs good Boricua editors. Paz. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 10:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you!--vertical 20:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Main Page
Surprise! History of Puerto Rico has been selected for presentation on the Main Page for Monday, June 18, 2007 (tomorrow!). My congratulations to all editors who helped bring this important Puerto Rican topic to FA, especially to Joelito. But don't celebrate yet. There's two important things we should do:
- Review the article. Since it became FA, it has received extensive edits from users, and therefore may need copy-editing and MOS-adjustments for presentation. Some users related to the Main Page-selection process have already made many edits, and we should continue their good work to make sure the article is pristine.
- WATCH IT!! Given the Main Page's exposure (millions view it every day), FA articles which are presented there get viewed by many people, including vandals. Please watch the page carefully, reverting vandalism as you go. I've seen Main Page articles get overwhelmed with vandalism, and since many more people keep going to it on the Main Page, we don't want them to see a vandalized article. This is a 24 hour task (as long as its presented), and requires the collaboration of the entire Puerto Rico WikiProject.
Well, gente, take pride that on June 18, Puerto Rico's history will be presented on the grandest of pages in Wikipedia. Peace! - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 10:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations to all the good editors who have worked in the page thru all these years (and the many to come!). --vertical 20:12, 18 June 2007 (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) |
