Talk:Politics of Puerto Rico/Archives/2011/November

Old tags
This article has had maintenance tags on it for years, especially regarding neutrality. Is there anyone still working on it, or does anyone still have concerns about what needs to be changed? We should either (a) Fix the article; (b) Delete whatever is problematic; or (c) Remove the tag. Anyone have an opinion? --Elonka 17:02, 13 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The best way to know if the tags need to remain is by testing with a simple edit, which I have done. While the body of this article, as well as multiple PR-related wiki articles, repeatedly asserts that PR is an organized unincorporated territory of the US named as "commonwealth", the intro says that PR is a "commonwealth of the US", as if that were the description of the relationship, rather than the name given to the body politic.  If, as a result of my edit to the intro, an edit war begins, then we'll know that there are issues of neutrality yet to be resolved. Pr4ever (talk) 17:19, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Lead
I rewrote the lead for the reasons given in the summary edit. However, it seems that years ago this article started off in the right direction, that is by expanding on its title (Politics...), but eventually started to shoot off in the direction of the Political Status of Puerto Rico, something already well covered in another article. (While I do believe political status could be touch on a bit in this article --for it has defined for years how voters have voted-- it should not receive undue weight given that it is not the subject of the article.)

I would like to remove that stuff from this article that is clearly off-topic -- that is, content which is valid but unrelated to the nominal topic of the article. The question is, is there support for this? Objections to this? Mercy11 (talk) 00:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Redundancy is redundant, and this article should follow the same pattern as other "Politics of" articles. If you want to improve it, have at it! -- LWG talk 16:02, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
