Hi

It was I who added the accents to the Puerto Ricans List. It looks it is OK that you deleted them, since there is no consensus on the subject. Some think that the accents should remain, while others, like you, think not. Regards. --Damifb 20:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, thanks for your concern. Do you think people wouldn't like it if I redirect the articles' titles at once?

--Damifb 20:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Even in Spanish-speaking countries, half of the people don't use the accents anyway... :( Stay in touch.--Damifb 20:59, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

The Crisis Center is going to be deleted. I feel that you had a right to know because you expressed intrest in a message on the Center's talk page. --Defender 911 (Leave a message!) 21:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

No, that moving was before we talked

about it. I will take your advice from now on. Regards,

Re: Question (Badges)

You seem to have a point about Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Air Force badges and that can be fixed once more. My question then would be, those who were members of the RCAF and RAF as pilots during World War II, did they earn some type of "wings"? Tony the Marine 03:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey Tony. The RAF and RCAF (and other Commonwealth Air Forces) were given cloth uniform patches ("wings") after they qualified to be pilots or whatever. They were part of the uniform like rank patches and were never removed. You can see a typical WWII RAF/RCAF pilot's wings patch in the picture here: George Beurling. Pilots had a patch with two wings, while other positions such as bomb aimer, air gunner or navigator had similar patches with one wing, and usually a letter or letters (e.g. AG for air gunner) in the center signifying his position. Canada's and Britain's air forces still work that way. The RCAF and RAF badges that you placed in your article are not badges that are sewn onto a uniform and are not associated with any rank, position, honor, or merit award; they are essentially fancy logos that are symbols of the two air forces much like the seal of the USAF. The term "badge" for the air force "logos" is a misnomer; they should be referred to as emblems or insignias. Cheers.--BC 06:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Do you know if there are any good WW II RCAF and RAF pilot "patches" images in the net, which can be used? Tony the Marine 02:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Tony, I would visit http://jfchalifoux.com/aircrew_wings.htm for a selection of RCAF patches. There are all kinds of them, and you'll have to know what his position was and when etc. For more info, you could email the webmaster at jfchalifoux@shaw.ca with as many details as possible. I'm sure he'll be able to help you out. He'll know much more than I about RCAF patches. If you can find a photo of the serviceman with the patches, that would make your job a lot easier. Obviously you want to find the right patch so that the article is as accurate as possible. I couldn't find anything about RAF patches but a good thorough Google search may come up with something. You may also want to look at eBay where a lot of patches are being sold. Sorry I couldn't be of much more help. Regards. --BC 04:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Tony, you were right!

Yes, Tony, you were right. Those 2 family names were not among the first to settle to Puerto Rico. Have a nice day!

Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/EdwinCasadoBaez‎

Thought you might be interested in this, it involves a fellow WikiProject Caribbean member and the situation seems a little shady, your opinion here is appreciated, cheers! - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Tony what we have here is a war that's apparently fueled by ethnic conflicts between two sockpuppeters, the anon and EdwinCasadoBaez have been violating WP:CIVIL on the Dominican Republic's talk page (see the uncivil conversation at the very bottom of this archived page) and have aparently been edit warring with socks,the anon opened this case because he wants EdwinCasadoBaez to be blocked for this violations but he wasn't blocked for them, so I am supporting a double block for severe violations of the civility policy. - Caribbean~H.Q. 23:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I will keep my eye on both of them, I have also added the Dominican Republic's article to my watchlist, que te mejores. - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I realize why you reverted the reggie jackson link. but why did you also remove hector camacho jr? *Héctor_Camacho_Jr., boxer [1] 64.131.205.111 16:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I see what you mean, he insists on getting Edwin blocked for something he was also involved with, I can't find any sing of consensus here (nor any good faith for that matter) well lets just another admin the chance to do a review, the anon will will probably get the same response, by now its probably to late to block him if he wasn't issued a warning anyways, heck chances are that a more drastic admin reviews the case and blocks them both. - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:54, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Nothing personal

My requests aren't personal at all, I just want equal justice to be shown. Thanks for understanding. 64.131.205.111 05:07, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


Hello, again, Tony!

You are from Puerto Rico. I believe it is a beautiful island. I know Puerto Rico is a free state in association with the United States, citizens of Puerto Rico are citizens of the United States. That is not a good thing? Mikulai 12:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


OK, I understood

I am from a town called Moinesti, country Romania, Europe. Here, all that is US is very well seen. OK, I understood your position. It is a little bit of propaganda, all the American films. I studied Spanish, I know a little. The Romanian language is relative to Spanish language being both of Latin origin. I saw your page. You were to South Vietnam! I did the military service myself, being a gunner for 6 months, but in peace time. OK, Tony, I respect Puerto Rico and the Spanish Language.Mikulai 09:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for you note on my page. You understand the concern of the Feature Article editors in that they do not want articles that are not neutral in viewpoint. However, I realize that many articles do have a viewpoint anyway, such as Mary: A Fiction, currently an FAC which no one seems to object to but me! I hope you take the editors' objections seriously and remove any extravagant language. Writing for Wikipedia is not like writing for a magazine that is willing to tolerate an opinion piece. That is my concern here. I would like to see your article pass, but if it doesn't that does not mean that the article is not worthy. Clearly many people are enjoying it. FA status is not the only measure worthiness! Regards, Mattisse 20:42, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey! I'll help you with all that copy editing stuff on your article. The good part is that once those things are taken care of, that person will have no reason not to support. Mattisse 23:14, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I think that person is British and does not know the fine distinctions. You could always use a note to explain the small stuff. Like [1] this. Mattisse 23:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Footnotes

  1. ^ Brazillians are not considered "Hispanics" in accordance to the U.S. definition as they speak Portuguese. They are however considered "Latinos" or "Latin" because they come from Latin-America.


hmm. that is interesting. would that make haitians, french guina? those from quebec considered to be latino's as well? it's common usage still is typically associated with hispanics. 64.131.205.111 03:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


EdwinCasadoBaez puppet case

Upon speaking to Akhilleus, he suggested that I may ask you to have my account unblocked if I were to agree to be on my best behavior. [2] I do agree to it and have been on my best behavior. There have been no issues on my end. Akhilleus stated that wikipedia is inconsistant which is what i questioned considering that i was blocked and edwincasadobaez wasn't. All I asked for was fairness and equality. Something that I think all American's strive for. Would you please unblock my account? If you see any further disruptions I won't even question you blocking my account for good. If there is a disagreement i'll simply file for an RFC. thank you. 64.131.205.111 03:20, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello

How are you doing? I see some major work is being done on your article. That is very good for its prospects as FA. I haven't been able to be online until now today. Let me know if you need any help. (Or moral support. I know it can be difficult when someone is changing your article.) Regards, Mattisse 18:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. I didn't read your message before I posted here. Certainly I will reconsider my vote. Regards, Mattisse 19:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Do you have good references that support your point of view? If you do, then use them. They have to be from a reliable, unbiased, third-party source. Another way to go would be to let User:AnonEMouse have his way as this will lead to Feature Article status. Do you think the issue is important enough to make a big issue of now, since User:AnonEMouse is actually helping your article a lot in other ways? If User:AnonEMouse votes yes, then that will cinch it with others. You can always change the article later, after all this ruckus has died down. I do know that agreeing with the major Feature Article editors, of which User:AnonEMouse is one, is the road to Feature Article status. Regards, Mattisse 19:48, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
User:AnonEMouse is using the US Census definition as of 1993. It would apply to any census data you reference in your article. That is a better source than most. The problem is that the US census did not have a clear understanding. Perhaps you can write another article on this issue. Or change the current one in the future. I think your current article is important enough that, if I were you, I would overlook it for now. I know that is hard to do, but in the end to overlook it now is the best chance for your current article to become a Feature Article, in my opinion. Regards, Mattisse 20:08, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree with your last message to me. I worked on the Census 2000 and a lot of people when asked what race or "ancestry" they were would answer "human" or "American" or something else that wasn't on the form and so had to be checked "other". I work in a state with a large Hispanic population, and the state itself does not have a "Hispanic" category. The state's point of view is that "Hispanic" is a culture, not a race. Regards, Mattisse 20:20, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey, you showed a great attitude in following the suggestions. I haven't had a chance to go through it yet but it looks much better. I think it will pass now. One thing, I believe images are supposed to be set at default. Regards, Mattisse 22:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

You are an admin....

If in your judgement a user (User:YoSoyGuapo) has redeemable qualities, and is willing to help wikipedia by all means unblock. It looks like he was banned by the community (the indef block). Per the banning policy, any admin can lift the ban. So yeah, go for it. :) I'll let you lift the ban yourself. (rather I don't even have to let you! Admins are trusted to do the right thing ;) (I'm assuming you are an admin....), if not just let me know. —— Eagle101Need help? 21:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Default

It means that images are not supposed to have a size but to be set at default. (I think this is controversial and I noticed the editor of the Song Dynasty just now said "forget that" and went through his article and set some sizes.) But theoretically, it is an FA rule that the image is set at |thumb| but no size after it. If you want I can go through and set yours at default, or you can wait until someone mentions it. Regards, Mattisse 23:36, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I made two images smaller than default as they seemed so big. One is the Purple Heart - it was too big at default. And Sgt. Ramos Calero, he was too big also. With Sgt. Ramos Calero I am not sure I got the size right. Also, there is something wrong with Footnote 4. It sprawls across the footnotes. I don't have time now to figure out what is wrong with it, but it is formatted incorrectly somehow. Regards, Mattisse 00:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Kyokpae banner.png

has been changed to Image:Qxz-ad39.png. I tried to change this on your page, but I am not an administrator. :-( Miranda 03:15, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Support

I did vote support with pleasure. And certainly you can contact me anytime about anything. I was glad to see you thanked User:AnonEMouse for doing so much work on the article. Congratulations! (I am certain it will pass.) You deserve it. Regards, Mattisse 16:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

When people question your article sources or emphasis, it may help you to point out that User:AnonEMouse, who is an experienced FAC editor and a neutral party (not Hispanic), vetted the entire article, checking references, material emphasized, and everything else. That is why a neutral party is so important as there are always persons with a particular point of view who are going to complain. User:AnonEMouse had no ax to grind and looked at the references and emphasis in the article from a neutral point of view. Regards, Mattisse 18:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Agreement

My username was banned by ^demon [3] . Luna Sathaan stated s/he was considering taking me off of block so how could it have been a community based ban? [4] can you please help me get this account back. thanks 64.131.205.111 15:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Puerto Ricans in NASA

The article just got deleted by a admin that thinks that Puerto Rico is spelled "Puerto Rica", I wonder if that is a little lack of research before closing or if he didn't have time to bother and read the Puerto Rican article and know from where we are from. - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Neither. It's minor typos... apologies, they're habitual. Well caught.
I visited Tony's user page to let him know, I have preserved a copy of this article in user space, for anyone who wants to use its contents elsewhere in future, as a mark of respect for a close that I know was not the one hoped for. You can find the latest version copied intact (except for AFD header and categories) at User:Marine 69-71/Puerto Ricans in NASA. FT2 (Talk | email) 18:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Your main page date request

Hi, I removed your request for September 23, 2007 for Hispanic Americans in World War II on the front page, with the reason of "This is the date that PBS will air "The War" a WW II documentary by Ken Burns, which omitted the contributions of Hispanic Americans." In that section, it states in bold that "there may be no more than five requests in this section at any time." Additionally, you added it to the top of the list under "first request," when that space is already occupied and you should file it under "fifth request" when that space becomes available. I recommend adding Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests to your watchlist so that you can keep track of when that spot becomes available and take it when it does. --thedemonhog talk • edits 03:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Now that space has been cleared, I copy and pasted your date request using your signature, but with an adjusted timestamp. I have left the actual request for you to do, in case you want to add more comments. --thedemonhog talk • edits 07:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

List of U.S. Marines

Tony, thanks for the heads up to check the talk page of List of U.S. Marines. Looks like it was recently moved from the title List of famous U.S. Marines. I agree that the current title is cause for confusion. I've left a note. If you have an opinion, please add it to the talk page. With a few folks weighing in, we might find consensus to move it back to the original title. As far as I can find, the move was not discussed. (BTW, I'm not really back.) — ERcheck (talk) 02:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, I made some comments and found the other list. If you agree with the title move back, go ahead and make it.

List of U.S. Marines versus List of famous U.S. Marines

Tony, I agree with you. I'd appreciate it if you would make that move. If you leave a note on Talk:List of U.S. Marines, it would probably help other editors who have questions about the title. — ERcheck (talk) 22:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Tony, the editor who moved it back was quoting a "guideline" found in the page on Lists (stand-alone lists):
Note that this is an MOS guideline. From the disclaimer on the page that outlines what is meant by guideline (bold mine):
This might be a case where an exception is in order — and consensus on the list's talk page will be where this can be discussed. The moving editor didn't discuss. You could leave a note on the mover's talk page and note that it is a guideline and please discuss it on the talk page. On that vein, is there a better word to use than "famous"? See that "noted" (and notable would be similar) are also exceptions. "Celebrity" is not precise.

Thanks and a question

Hey shiny! I have been meaning to ask you, have you considered taking the Missing in Action articles to GA? for example Puerto Ricans Missing in Action - Korean War seems quite complete, perhaps a Featured Topic along Puerto Ricans Missing in Action - Vietnam War? - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:56, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the medal. I don't mean to butt in, but the articles don't seem to be "real" articles. They're a bit list-y. Perhaps they should be taken to WP:FLC? --Boricuæddie 03:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the medal, but again, the real credit goes to User:Demf. With almost 400 edits to the article, he really sacrificed his time to get it just right. It's a shame really, since he apparently withdrew from Wikipedia just before it reached GA and then FA. Since we haven't gotten a response from him, I assume he just doesn't know how much his work paid off. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 04:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. Oh, well. That's enough Featured content for a month, don't you think? :-) --Boricuæddie 04:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmm let me think Eddie...no :) Tony I doubt they can have an real argument here, the Puerto Ricans in NASA thing was because it was about an agency, this one nobody can't claim is "uncyclopedic". - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


Gracias, Tony. For Demf. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 11:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Felix Trinidad

This comment [6] seems troubling, its not a direct legal threat but still... - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:35, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Certainly, the article is a complete list with a interesting introduction, if there is nothing you are considering to add I could nominate it myself. About Trinidad I have always been reluctant to work it to GA because it has been a POV magnet and ground for edit wars during the time I have been here, but since he is returning on January I think its going to be on my list for the last months of the year, not October though I want to work with Chupacabra between now and then, about the bizarre legal threat what worried me was the fact that he said he was going to call a lawer, I doubt he will but you never know. - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Puerto Ricans Missing in Action - Korean War

I created the nomination there, I will link it to the candidates page now. - Caribbean~H.Q. 05:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

So it appears, I still don't get his argument but he hasn't comented since I provided an explanation and another example so we better wait. - Caribbean~H.Q. 06:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
We have an oppose that has given some useful suggestions we can work with, I have been bold in some edits but out of respect I won't take out the information about PFC. Ramon Nuñez-Juarez , I will let you decide what part of that can be removed, the user proposed renaming to List of Puerto Ricans missing in action in the Korean War wich I support but won't do it without approval from you since this is your creation, pa' lante. - Caribbean~H.Q. 10:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

PR MIA list

No need to apologize to me, I understand what it's like. :) I hope it was clear that I wasn't saying the concept necessarily was bad, just the execution, and it hadn't been designed yet to be a featured list. These are of course things that can be changed and improved upon. --Golbez 20:50, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:I wonder?

I not sure if it can be done since I have never tried it, going to give it a try now I'll let you know if it could be done. - Caribbean~H.Q. 22:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

It seems a little complicated, the center template is denying my attempts to move the text, I tried adding a invisible dummy table to move the main table left without the center template but it didn't worked, I'm really not sure how to avoid the center's template influence over the table.

So I see :) I'm dealing with the refs, the only thing that was remaining in the review was a question concerning when the MIAs where considered KIA and I though you could explain that better than me. - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Greetings

Good to hear from you, Amigo. Nothing exciting to report. Only 9 weeks until the USMC birthday, so I hope you're making plans. Take care, and keep in touch. Chris the speller 03:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Congrats on the detective work, and I am sure the trip to Georgia was rewarding as well as enjoyable. You deserved it, a trip you'll never forget. Is it just a coincidence that I had barely finished working on the WP pages Tony and Antonio (and Rita Moreno, for that matter) when you dropped in on my talk page? See my contributions. If so, it's mighty weird. Chris the speller 04:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
