The WikiProject Puerto Rico Newsletter Year III - Issue 1 - Fall & Winter 2008-09
"Yo exigí que se tocara La Borinqueña." - José Torres to Rafael Bracero, discussing the preparations for his championship fight against Willie Pastrano.
From the editor Hello, Pr4ever/Archives/2009. 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)
Flags and records 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)	Users who helped with this newsletter Caribbean H.Q. (talk · contribs) Marine 69-71 (talk · contribs) Other areas where you can help Voluntaries are needed to improve Puerto Rico. Please help Marcos maintain Portal:Puerto Rico. An image for you! Never forget, regardless of colors or ideals, this flag represents all of us.
Project News On January 3, 2009, Cerejota presented a draft interested in establishing a solid style guide for the project. The current revision can be seen here, further suggestions can be placed in the project's talk page. Puerto Rican Campaign, Jewish immigration to Puerto Rico, Currencies of Puerto Rico and Sixto Escobar are now of good article quality. Facts from Isabel Gonzalez, Jewish immigration to Puerto Rico, Chinese immigration to Puerto Rico, Ivan Castro (soldier), Currencies of Puerto Rico, Orlando Antigua and Jaime Fonalledas were featured in the "Did you know..." section of the main page. List of Puerto Rican boxing world champions is currently a featured list candidate Luis Muñoz Rivera and Flag of Puerto Rico, articles within our scope, are currently good article nominees.
Puerto Rican Highlight On November 1, Jonathan González won the flyweight division's gold medal at the International Boxing Association's Youth World Championships. (Primera Hora) González joins John John Molina, Aníbal Santiago Acevedo, Carlos Febres and Daniel Alicea as gold medalists in this competition. Did you Know? That the Elfin-woods Warbler, an endemic bird of Puerto Rico first observed in 1968, is the last New World warbler species to be discovered?

I like your idea

Send me any addition information that you have or know of about political parties which have used flags in Puerto Rico. I really liked your idea and I'm thinking about working them in the "Political" section of the Flag of Puerto Rico which by the way made "GA". Tony the Marine (talk) 18:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I need a favor

I may have some repairs done to my computer in the next couple of days and I was wondering if you could keep an eye out on the List of Puerto Ricans, making sure that everybody follows the rules because there is a lot of vandalism going on by non-registered users.

Boricua in Space

• I want to share with you and every Boricua in Wikipedia that today March 19th, our "Boricua" astronaut Joseph M. Acaba, proudly displayed and placed the Puerto Rican Flag in the Discovery Shuttle and that he played "Que Bonita Bandera" while doing so. His pride in his heritage, makes me even prouder of mine. Tony the Marine (talk) 22:37, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Something that I can't understand

You know sometimes there are things that go on that I just can't understand. User: Rumpelstinkin created the "Sello del Secretario de Estado de Puerto Rico" which has been placed in the infobox of Kenneth McClintock, yet he continues to remove it, see: [1]. I wonder Why? By doing so his image of the "sello" will be orphaned and someone will delete it. Therefore I can't understand his actions, what do you think is going on? Tony the Marine (talk) 01:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

• Thank you for your comment on the flag in my talk page, I really appreciate it. I added the above mentioned Seal to some bios. and the Secretaries of State of Puerto Rico artilce. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: A nod to forever

Recently in my talk page I have been receiving very kind words which truly humble me. I thank everyone for those words, but I am only a small part of a wonderful group of Boricua Wikipedians who, regardless of their political or personal believes, have selfishly dedicated themselves to writing about the unbiased truth of the history and the amazing people of our wonderful and beautiful island. I thank God everyday that there are people like Joelr31, Caribbean H.Q., Pr4ever, Jmundo, Cerejota, Boricuaeddie, Mtmelendez and Demf just to mention a few, whose contributions are helping to create an awareness that despite the size of our island, we are a people that have a lot to be proud of. I firmly believe "Un pueblo que no conoce la verdadera historia de su pasado, no esta capcitada para elijir su futuro" and you can quote me on that. Gracias y que Dios los bendiga.
