Nationality

I have reversed THIS edit, where the "nationality" field was changed from Puerto Rican to Taino, because we cannot classify Taino as a nationality but rather as a cultural heritage group: there is no current state that recognizes Taino as its constituency and, as such, it cannot be elevated to the level of a national group. Doing so would constitute a violation of WP:NPOV. In addition, the use of "Jatibonicu Taino American Indian" in the "ethnicity" field already attests to Pedro's cultural heritage, making its use in the "nationality" field redundant. More information can also be found in the Taino people article where it states that "the Taínos were seafaring indigenous peoples of the Bahamas, Greater Antilles, and the northern Lesser Antilles..." Note the past tense in "were". My name is Mercy11 (talk) 05:23, 2 April 2013 (UTC), and I approve this message.[reply]

OFFICIAL TRIBAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: http://www.taino-tribe-gov.org Response to Puerto Rican nationality grouping and Jatibonicu Taino National oragin and Puerto Rico Taino ethnicity. Please note that the Jatibonicu Taino Tribal Nation of Boriken and its tribal council form of government has had a recognized tribal constitution, tribal laws and national flag under its constitution since November 18th 1970. As a tribal nation it constitutes itself it is officially a separate national entity within context of Puerto Rico and as such it is legally not part of the so-called Puerto Rican nationality. This issue can bring some serious legal complications if its tribal constitution is ever in question and challenged and is not respected and if it should go before be taken to the United States Federal courts system for an official ruling based upon US Government’s signing of the existing legally recognized UN United Nations resolution on the rights and self-determination of Indigenous people. In conclusion you have no legal right to lay a false judgment upon a the Taino people based upon your mistaken and so-called idea of a claim of the Jatibonicu Taino as being a heritage grouping that is based upon your prejudiced idea of a Puerto Rican nationality or preference and or assumptions you will be making a major monumental mistake that you will certainly without question regret.

Intentional Vandalism to the Pedro Guanikeyu Torres Page

Dear Wikipedia, It appears that a person using the follow information to logon to Wikipedia site is intentionally and repeatedly vandalizing the Pedro Guanikeyu Torres page. His logon information is as follows, "13:02, 30 November 2015‎ Collegecheese (talk | contribs)‎ m . . (9,546 bytes) (-115)‎ . . (fixed errors)" This person must be stopped immoderately by Wikipedia page owners and not given access nor allowed on to the Wikipedia website. Is there a way that you can you help resolve this vandalism problem? Note there was more vandalism done yesterday by a Puerto Rican person using the WIKI ID of Latinofury55 as this person needs to be blocked from editing and VANDALIZING the Pedro Guanikeyu Torres page.
