Algo raro esta pasando
Something strange is going on. It seems to me as if there is an anti-Puerto Rican image campaign going on. I hope not. Tony the Marine (talk) 01:25, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
To all my friends in Wikipedia. After so many years I have decided to take an extended leave from the project. My continued participation in the project has become less enjoyable as I have explained here. I thank God that I became involved in the project in the first place because not only have I used it to educate others, but I have also learned a lot from friends such as yourself. Try to maintain a high standard in your contributions and make sure that the truth is always told in what you write. I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year, may God Bless you and thank you for your friendship. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Just in case
I just saw this page on my watchlist (I've left messages here, and pages I edit are automatically watchlisted) and I remembered this, the fact that in the AfD you voted to delete, then to keep. I just wanted to let you know that in that message I don't mean you. AFAIK you're one of the good guys here.

Y si no es muy tarde ya: Feliz Año Nuevo. SamEV (talk) 20:07, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Help with an image
Hello Jmundo. I asked a question on Tony the Marine's talk page but he's off now so I am hoping you may be able to help: "I am wondering about the license on File:FMQ.jpg as well. Did I miss the public domain notice on http://www.circuloderecreo.org/ perhaps? If not then I don't understand why it would be PD." Any ideas? Many thanks in advance, Angus McLellan (Talk) 02:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries. It would be worth seeing if we can get a WP PR volunteer to take a picture to avoid any problem. Can I draw your attention to the discussion going on at Tony's talk page just now? I'd appreciate your thoughts there. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:55, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Puerto Rican images
As you all know, certain situations among which are included my personal health, have led me take a leave of absence from Wikipedia, however I believe that the idea proposed by Angusmclellan is an excellent one. Instead of nominating Puerto Rican related images by the masses, the images which have problems will first be listed in the page which I just created: WikiProject:Puerto Rico/Images with problems. We will be given more then sufficient time as a "team" to find sources and make what ever fixes need be in order to keep them from being deleted. This is a Wiki-community team effort regardless of who uploaded the image. I ask all those who really care about the images related to Puerto Rico to post the link "WikiProject Puerto Rico/Images with problems" in your "watchlists".

Community de-Adminship - finalization poll for the CDA proposal
After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;


 * gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and


 * ascertain whether there is support for a 'two-phase' poll at the eventual RfC (not far off now), where CDA will finally be put to the community. Matt Lewis (talk) 01:03, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Citation needed
I did some search about your challenge about the following sentence:

Because the cutoff point for income taxation is lower than that of the U.S. IRS code, and because the per-capita income in Puerto Rico is much lower than the average per-capita income on the mainland, more Puerto Rico residents pay income taxes to the local taxation authority than if the IRS code were applied to the island[citation needed].

The statement is accurate when you take in consideration the following Wikipedia Article: Earned Income Tax Credit. The Earned Income Tax Credit does not applies to Puerto Rico.

Sorry, if not politics, this was the best reference that I could found that the credit does not applies to Puerto Rico doing a fast search. Eg. Reference: PIERLUISI CHAMPIONS BILL TO EXTEND THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT TO RESIDENTS OF PUERTO RICO http://pierluisi.house.gov/NEWS/06-11-09-CREDIT.html

--Seablade (talk) 23:51, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jmundo,

I did not included the statement on the article and I am not Accountant. However, what make correct the statement is the first part of the sentence by the Earned Income Tax Credit. If the income tazation goes over the income credit you will pay more by federal tax than the state tax.

Eg. Refer to page 15 table on the reference provided it:

Reference: http://www.hacienda.gobierno.pr/downloads/pdf/planillas/INST%20SHORT_2008.pdf

The Federal income tax brackets for 2009 are as follows:

Two higher tax brackets (36% and 39.6%) were added in 1993, and then taxes in all brackets were lowered in 2001 through 2003 as follows:

Now assume a family both working with 2 kids at $ 39,200 gross income. (PR GDP per Capita X 2). Assuming 30,000 dollars taxable income. On the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico they will pay 3,100.

On Florida just an example, the IRS (30000)(.15)= 4,500. However, there will received the earned income credit of 5,028. They are going to receive a check of 1,400. No State income tax and whatever Florida State Property tax if has a residence.

This analysis does not applies for higher incomes. If I did a mistake on this analysis, please provide feedback, are very welcome!

--Seablade (talk) 03:42, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I am not assuming that our lovely dept de Haciendas is going to stop taxing that family earning 39,200. I am assuming that the department should be forced to reduce the income tax percentage as the same rate that the majority of other states and the earned income credit plus the Refundable Child Credit will apply to Puerto Rico if the IRS code applies. This would do that people of low incomes will pay less income taxes that currently does to the Puerto Rico Treasury Department. Inclusive currently on the State of Indiana, sorry no have the reference, the summation of the Indianapolis County Income tax, Indiana State Income tax and Federal Income Tax is less that the current Puerto Rico Income Tax to my personal income. (I do not include the State property tax on the analysis because I don’t know the property tax comparison of Indiana and Puerto Rico).

That is what the person that include the statement want to indicate about the low per capita income taxation in Puerto Rico.

Please, refer to reference provided below:

Además, propone extender el Reembolso del Crédito por Hijos (Refundable Child Credit) a los padres puertorriqueños de ingresos limitados con menos de tres hijos y extender el Reembolso del Crédito por Ingreso Devengado (Refundable Earned Income Credit) a los trabajadores que tienen ingresos bajos.

File:Corretjer.jpg
Hi Jmundo, I have listed the file File:Corretjer.jpg on the Puerto Rico wikiproject page of images with problems. Please do not take this personally. I think we need to improve the rationale for this particular image or find a free alternative. You can find my listing here:  Thanks, - Chromatikoma (talk) 02:43, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Jmundo, mi compatriota. Estoy de acuerdo contigo. This is a circus. Like we say in Puerto Rico "Ay quienes les buscan cinco patas al gato". Tony the Marine (talk) 05:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * O.K., here is the answer from the Secretary of State/Lt. Governor of Puerto Rico in representation of the people of Puerto Rico:

"'Tony, The images the IPC uses in its publications, as well as the portraits of Governors and First Ladies (which hang in La Fortaleza---although the Governors', that will hang at the State Department for 2 weeks beginning next Monday), Senate Presidents and House Speakers (which hang at the Capitol), the Secretaries of State photos, which hang at my Department, and so forth, are clearly in the public domain because: (1) nobody is paid for their continuous use, and, (2) the government does not claim payment from anyone from their reproduction and use. I hope this is of help to you."

Kenneth D. McClintock Secretary of State San Juan, Puerto Rico

I hope that this answers the question presented. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:27, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Why change it? What was *wrong* with the other one? I am missing something? Why not just keep both in the article? Regards, Mercy11 (talk) 01:55, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

PR Images
Some of these people here think that I am a stupid clown and do not realize that I am appreciated by the people of Puerto Rico for my work. I also recieved this mesage with goes in tone with the question that you have in regard to the pictures of the former Secretary of the Puerto Rico Senate: "Tony, In the case of the portraits of Governors, First Ladies, Senate Presidents and House Speakers, these paintings were commissioned and paid for by the Government, for public use, with public funds, so they may be reproduced freely. No artist has any rights over such portraits, having sold the portraits and rights appurtenant to their work to the people of Puerto Rico. Hope this may be of help. KDM"

Therefore, I will once again upload the image of McClitock anf forward this message to "OTRS". Tony the Marine (talk) 20:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This is what I did. I uploaded File:01 KDM.jpg and frowarded McClintocks message to OTRS. If that works then I'll be fine to do the same to the other images of the Sec. of the PR States. I also requested that a PD tag be created for the images of the ICP. Tony the Marine (talk) 04:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Cutoff point

 * Hi, although I was not the editor of the particular section that you removed HERE, namely
 * Because the cutoff point for income taxation is lower than that of the U.S. IRS code, and because the per-capita income in Puerto Rico is much lower than the average per-capita income on the mainland, more Puerto Rico residents pay income taxes to the local taxation authority than if the IRS code were applied to the island.
 * and thus am not privy to its source, I did come across the following citation
 * "Residents of Puerto Rico pay considerably less total tax per capita than U.S. residents. However, because of lower incomes they pay about the same percentage of their personal income in taxes. The composition of taxes differed between Puerto Rico and the states with federal taxes being a larger share of the total in the states. This difference reflects the facts that (1) residents of Puerto Rico generally do not pay federal income tax on income they earn in the Commonwealth and (2) the Commonwealth government has a wider range of responsibilities than do U.S. state and local governments." http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-06-541
 * which I suspect is what the editor was referring to. Regards, Mercy11 (talk) 16:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
