Talk:List of governors of Puerto Rico

Ariel Ortega is NOT General Ricardo de Ortega y Diez
why does the Argentinian soccer player Ariel Ortega appear instead of General Ricardo de Ortega y Diez? The filename looks correct, but for some reason it is displaying the wrong picture. I'm not smart enough to fix this, but seems like someone should as this is a featured list and it is a pretty obvious error

Governor addition to the list?
George C. Butte per his article: "In 1925, after his gubernatorial defeat, President Calvin Coolidge named Butte attorney general of Puerto Rico. He was thereafter vice-chairman of the Puerto Rican Public Service Commission and governor of the island from 1926-1927." This statement should be checked, if not then removed from originating article, or if True, added to this list. QuAz GaA  18:00, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Update I found here where it mentions he served as acting governor 3 times and have corrected his article. I do not know if this would qualify for the list.   QuAz  GaA  18:08, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Munoz Marin's national affiliation
Luis Munoz Marin was a national Democrat. The Partido Popular Democratico was created in 1938 as a counterbalance to what was then called the Partido Estado Republicano (which would eventually become the Partido Nuevo Progreista) - as you can probably guess the PER (and it's predecessor the Union Party & the Republican Union fusion with the Socialists) affiliated with the Republican Party. The party and it's members have always identified with the national Democratic Party - up until the late 1960s it WAS the Democratic Party within Puerto Rico. This is in contrast with the PNP which has both Democrats and Republicans. 69.115.242.114 (talk) 20:34, 31 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's true, but Muñoz Marín never subscribed to the Democratic Party formally. In other words, yes, he influenced the party but never formally signed a document to subscribe to the party. We have provided a reference to reflect this. Hope this clears things up. &mdash;Ahnoneemoos (talk) 01:48, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Sobre Gobernadores
Debo de aclarar la información sobre quie fue el primer gobernador que tuvo Puerto Rico. El primer gobernador que tuvo Puerto Rico lo fue Martín Alonso Pinzón y erjercio su mandato fuera de tierra borincana.

La isla de Puerto Rico tuvo varios nombres, entre ellos Baneque (banek)Caribe que luego se le dio a las aguas enserrada por las antillas. La palabra Borike (Bo-Ri-K)quiere tierra santa o paraizo o tierra de Dios. también, entre los aborígenes de los que hoy dia se conoce como las americacas, la isla del encantU se conoció como la tierra de las mujeres. Hay muchas cosas mas que se desconocen.

Who calls him Ricky?? Ricardo Rosselló
Maybe some do in PR but the news media always refers to him as Ricardo Rosselló

see https://www.google.ca/search?q=governor+of+puerto+rico&oq=governor+of+puerto+rico&aqs=chrome.0.0l6.5226j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#tbs=qdr:m&q=governor+of+puerto+rico++Rossell%C3%B3

Should this article not refer to him in the same manner? Peter K Burian (talk) 21:18, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Pedro Pierluisi
The edit war over whether to include Pedro Pierluisi in this list must stop. Discuss the question here, hopefully with wider input, and don't remove/restore him until a consensus has been arrived at here. - Donald Albury 12:59, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Pedro Pierluisi should be included in the list since he served in the governor position. Removing him would incorrectly implied no one was serving as governor between Rossello and Vasquez. A similar situation happened with the United States Secretary of Homeland Security where a judge ruled McAleenan and Wolf weren't legally serving as secretary but they are still included on the list since they still served as secretary.

There’s some problem with the b footnote
“ona el gobernación” doesn’t make sense. Ona is not a word and gobernación is masculine, not feminine. 82.36.70.45 (talk) 23:54, 22 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I recoved the source link using the Wayback Machine, and corrected the quote. Let me know if you still see a problem. Donald Albury 00:35, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
