Hello, need some help!
Hello Tony, I am coming back with my raincheck (hehe) and thanks for making me feel welcome. Just wondering if you knew of a way to "easily"(!!!) find existing pictures in wikipedia, wikipedia commons, spanish wikipedia, etc. Say I needed a pic of El Morro fort to stick in a WP article. Well, is there a utility where I would type in (of course not this one, but as an example) "El Morro" and it would search for all the pictures with the words 'El Morro' in them? I am trying to work in a series of similar articles and would like to complete them with pics. Thanks, Mercy11 (talk) 02:24, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

WP:FOUR

 * I'd be remiss if I didn't inform you that the better part of the credit should probably go to User:TonyTheTiger, who actually nominated you. Thanks for all your contributions: I enjoyed reading through them the other day. Savidan 16:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I am just trying to help WP:FOUR catch on. In order to do so, I tried to find all of the oldest eligible articles. Chicago Board of Trade Building had been the oldest WP:FA on the list before I started researching the oldies.  If you have other articles for which you are eligible, please nominate yourself.  If you are interested you can second a nomination just as  did.  You can also help this award to thrive by mentioning to other hard workers that they may be eligible and to come check out the criteria.  Thanks for contributing an article that has survived nearly two and a half years as a FA-rated article.  Keep up the good work for the project.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:44, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Sosthenes Behn and Hernan Behn

Afro-Puerto Rican
Good morning! I never responded to you regarding our discussion on Afro-Puerto Rican as a term last year because I was very pleased by the effect your edit had. It substantially reduced the edits adding persons to the category who were children of African-Americans and boricuas, based on a misunderstanding of the term Afro-Puerto Rican. You requested a definition, and here it is: An Afro-Puerto Rican is a black person, the majority of whose black ancestry (in the African diaspora) is from the island of Puerto Rico. I realize that this may include "mulato;" it would be key if the biracial person identifies as black. It is all moot...your edit has been great for accuracy.

There are several interesting pictures in that gallery, the "Culebra V.I." one is kind of funny, since it seems that after invading both archipelagoes, the gringos were kind of confussed about which one of the colonies they were bombarding.

 * I had read about this "doctor's" crimes and racism before, and my first tought was (and I apologize for the language beforehand): "¿Por qué carajos nadie dice nada? Igual que cuando esterelizaron a nuestras mujeres, estos cabrones nos trataron como animales." The anexionist movement has made one hell of a job white washing the American ocupation, making it seem like a "parade & party", but the truth is out there.

Chinese people in Puerto Rico
If you are reverting an edit which is not vandalism, use an edit summary or the talk page. I also suggest you read WP:FLAGCRUFT. It has been repeatedly discussed at WP:ETHNIC (e.g. here) that we should not put flags on these articles. Also, if you insist on having some box at the top of that article, it is better to use a standard Infobox ethnic group rather than a custom table with the names of three random people whose pictures aren't even there. cab (talk) 00:16, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes there is nothing in policy, but standard infoboxes are easier to maintain, easier to add information to, etc. "Infobox is in uniformity with the series which I created" --- thanks for creating articles, but creation does not mean ownership, as I'm sure you might be aware in your extensive Wikipedia experience. As for the flags, the whole point of the discussion is that flags do not neutrally represent migrant populations, especially in the case of overseas Chinese where some parts of migrant populations identify with the Republic of China and others with the People's Republic of China and yet others neither country at all. cab (talk) 02:27, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, he must had been really skilled to draw such an accurate map as a teenager, but he did came from a militaristic family, so that kind of knowledge is not a surprise. However, the irony surrounding the whole incident is the part that I find most amusing. I'm not sure what is the problem with the images, did the user complaining actually read the rationale? If the soldiers were on duty, the photos are government material, that seems pretty straight-forward. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  05:33, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

British territories
I saw about the recent changes around use of British islands to British Caribbean territories.

El ciudadano de América
Hola. He estado corrigiendo el apelativo de Eugenio María Hostos a "El ciudadano de América" porque, como puertoriqueño e hispanohablante, debes saber que en español América es un continente, no un país. Sin embargo, creo que deberías dejar en inglés "the Americas" pues ellos tienen confundido el término. En todo caso, en español, sea como sea, debe mantenerse el nombre real. Espero poder llegar a un acuerdo sensato contigo.

PD: No tengo una cuenta de wikipedia para inglés, pero si la tengo en español. En todo caso, regresaré a ver qué has dicho. Saludos --75.31.200.35 (talk) 05:53, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Puerto Rico, Puerto Rican cuisine and the return of Portorricensis
Tony I must apologize for this, but I just reverted Puerto Rico's article to the last revision before the anon block expired. I'm sure that you must had made some additions to the article in the meanwhile and my intention is not to eliminate those but the anon damage. We (mostly me) must now go trough the tedious job of filtering the constructive stuff. Anyways, our old friend, Portorricensis is back editing as an anon and he actually registered a sockpuppet (Portoricensis) that has been blocked. Unsurprisingly he once again bombarded the Puerto Rican cuisine page with his propaganda, ignoring the consensus once again. To counteract this, I have placed indefinite anon protections in both of these articles. Just letting you know. Regards, -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  03:08, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Puerto Rican naval campaign
You are correct about the Battle of Fajardo not being a naval battle, it was however a naval engagement due to the simple fact that the US warships, involved in the battle, fired their weapons in support of ground forces. Also, the ground forces involved were primarly naval units, to my off the top of my head knowledge. This means it can be considered as apart of the Puerto Rican naval campaign. I will not add the Battle of Fajardo to the naval operations section again but I do think you should think about it, thank you. --Az81964444 (talk) 07:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Editing of Tito Lara's page
Dear Tony:

I apologize for trying several times to edit your page on Tito Lara. What happens is that I am a singer too and I had the priviledge of meeting Tito Lara and had conversations with him several times. I have some of his popular music recordings and his sacred ones too, including the recording of the duet with Maribel Soto and some out of print original accompaniment tracks from the ones he used to sing at churches. I had the honor of listening to him singing live at several churches I visited, following Him. The recordings do not do justice to his amazing voice. His live sound was incredible. The beauty and transparency of his notes were incredible. I have sung at church some of his songs and some people have told me that my voice resembles his. I do not really believe that since I honestly consider myself a good singer, but reaching his quality is a dream that I might never get, since as said before, his voice was like no other. I noticed that my last contributions were eliminated: the lines about his register, what someone said on the radio about him and that he passed away smiling. It's OK if you prefer not to allow me to edit, but I really admire him and after speaking to him about Sandi Patty, Maribel Soto, and his projects, I would really like people to know all that.

Thanks for your messages.

Ponce De Leon
Hi Tony, yes ive tried my best with the 'de Hostos' ancestors table...i also added the luis munoz marin ones with good references i think, and i added the juan ponce de leon table too..but had to separate the tables as it was getting to smaller room..and as far as the descendents de leon..it takes so much searching on the net. The table seems to be difficutlt to add Lola rodriguez as she is too far down the line 200 year gap or so..it seems that Lola's mother is called doña Carmen Ponce de León y Martínez Mariño with her mother parents being José Antonio Ponce de León y Doña Vicenta Martínez Mariño......this is what ive found..although need to search alittle info so its true...maybe you know more on this.. I think it would be better to just add another ancestors table to Lola rodriguez own article.. ..also it will be alink with Juan Ponce de leon de Loayza, and searching on his children and wife is difficult.. anyway let me know what you think..Puertorico1 (talk) 20:40, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

 * By the way, have you seen the Juan Manuel López (boxer) article lately? Its fairly solid for a boxer that won his first championship just a year ago. López fights tomorrow and will most likely reach his 5th successful defense, then in January he will unify with Celestino Caballero. I believe that after the Caballero fight we could easily have this promoted, he will be an undisputed champion by then and that means a lot of media coverage. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  02:50, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Those are great news, I predict that in a few years they will eventually run out of recognitions to award you ;-) The good thing about López is that he already holds one of the major belts, but if he beats Caballero he will hold three plus the lineal championship, that's a lot of gold there and enough information for a future FA. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H.

Pablo Neruda
Saludos Tony, ¿sabias que Pablo Neruda escribio un poema titulado:"Muñoz Marin"? Pero me imagino que Neruda estaba hablando de otro LMM, quizas de un personaje ficticio.

Muñoz Marin

Hay un gordo gusano en estas aguas en estas tierras un rapaz gusano: se comió la bandera de la isla izando la bandera de sus amos, se nutrió de la sangre prisionera, de los pobres patriotas enterrados. En la corona de maíz de America creció la gusanera gusano prosperando a la sombra del dinero, sangriento de martirios y soldados, inaugurando falsos monumentos, haciendo de la patria que heredaron sus padres, un terrón esclavizado, de la isla transparente como estrella una pequeña tumba para esclavos, y convivio este verme con poetas por sus propios destierros derribados, repartió estímulo a sus profesores pagando a pitagóricos peruanos para que propagaran su gobierno, y su Palacio era por fuera blanco y adentro era infernal como Chicago con el bigote, el corazón, las garras de aquel traidor, de Luis Muñoz Gusano, Muñoz Marín para la concurrencia, Judas del territorio desangrado, gobernador del yugo de la patria, sobornador de sus pobres hermanos, bilingue traductor de los verdugos, chofer del whisky norteamericano. Fuente


 * Me thinks Neruda was writing about the same guy but from his ideological viewpoint---bigote, isla, palacio blanco, estrella, gobernador, bilingüe, chofer del whiskey norteamericano. Pr4ever (talk) 16:58, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not a politician but, I think that Muñoz Marín was a very complex individual to understand, he was against statehood and at the same time became the greatest enemy of the independence movement. I believe that he wanted to lead Puerto Rico "poco a poco" to a type of autonomy similar to that which the island had and in which his father Muñoz Rivera had played an influential role shortly before the American invasion. I think that he did not want to offend the United States, whom he knew were the ones who held complete jurisdiction over the island, in order to accomplish his objectives. I believe that Muñoz Marín became a traitor to the independence movement and did everything in his power to crush the movement because he feared that it would be a set back to his plans. Yet, he failed to accomplish his dreams because Puerto Rico did not and does not have the same autonomy with the same liberties and powers that Spain had granted the island in 1898. As a matter of fact, the United States was under pressure from the United Nations at the time (1950s) to liberate it's colonies and it was very convenient to have a Puerto Rican governor elected by the people and a political party to come up with the new "Estado Libre Associado" which is nothing more then a change of name for what still remains a territory (colony). Nothing changed in regard to the status. Now in all fairness, we cannot deny that Muñoz Marín had a tough job and that the programs which he proposed helped our economy. He was a puppet "lambe ojo", of the United States and the greatest enemy that the independence movement ever had. Before we judge the man  we must weigh in one scale his positive contributions to the island and it's economy and in the other scale his dark side, the relentless crushing of the patriotic independence movement. Hero to some, villian to others. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your undoing of my edits
Hello Mr. Marine 69-71.

Thank you for your communication with me. How about this link (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1628084/bio) that proves that Belange Rodríguez is the stepdaughter of Miguelángel Suárez? Also, in the eighth paragraph of this link from El Vocero newspaper (http://www.vocero.com/noticia-18522-ltimo_adis_a_miguelngel.html) in Puerto Rico, it states the following:

"Inmediatamente pidió que subieran al proscenio Alondra con su hijo Fabián y nieto de Suárez; su hija Belange, los hermanos del actor y Nana Hudo, entre otros familiares."

In English, that translates as "Immediately [she] asked that [daughter] Alondra and her son Fabián (Suárez's grandson); his daughter Belange [Rodríguez], the actor's siblings and Nana Hudo, among other relatives, go up onto the stage."

According to the above IMDb link, the late Mr. Suárez lived with Amneris Morales (Belange Rodríguez's mother) for 13 years prior to their marriage just before his death. Even if he was Ms. Rodríguez's common law stepfather for years, the moment Ms. Morales and Mr. Suárez married, that made Ms. Rodríguez his legal stepdaughter.

Believe me when I tell you that I take Wikipedia editing seriously and am not trying to vandalize this page. Also, why did you undo my edit of the alternate spelling of his name? He was known as Miguelángel Suárez (one word) in Puerto Rico, as evidenced in the articles about his death as well as his own IMDb site. It is mere conjecture, but it is possible that he broke his name into two words for the sake of a United States audience (being that that is clearly conjecture on my part, I did not include that into my Wikipedia edit).

If I quote the above links in a future edit, will that suffice?

Miguelángel Suárez
Mr. Marine 69-71.

I understand your reasoning behind moving his name to below. But I have seen other articles on Wikipedia where an alternate name was placed where I placed it. I meant no harm.

Gracias....
Señor Tony El Marine.

Thanks for understanding. Someone was vandalizing another article I edited and I didn't want you to think that I just took editing lightly. Yo tenía el placer a conocer el estimado Sr. Suárez y conozco su viuda y a su hermanastra. Gracias de nuevo.

Pilots Wings in Photo of Alberto A Nido
I looked on Wikipedia and also on Google, and I believe that they are British Pilot Wings.DocYako (talk)21:54, October 18 2009


 * Not 100% sure it is a British or Canadian pilots wings, it should have a crown on the top which is not clear on the image. Also it would be worn on the left side, But he could have just worn it on the wrong side if his usaf wings were on the left side. Nice if you had another image of Nido in uniform.

 * Tony, I concur with MilborneOne. My interpetation is that the badge is an RAF or RCAF pilot's wings. See and . On an RCAF or RAF uniform the badge is worn on the left. He probably got permission to wear the wings on the right side since, obviously his US wings would be on the left. B C  talk to me  23:23, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Miguel Poventud
I need you to help me post a wiki page for Miguel Poventud. I have over 50 albums some of which are sold all over the world right now and a very interesting biography of this Puerto Rican artist who recorded with El Trio Los Panchos, travelled all over Latin America and whose songs were recorded by very famous people. I have tons of proof in my home with pictures of all these famous people like Tin Tan and my dad who recorded an album and played their act at "El Teatro Puerto Rico" before the 70's...where were you?

I am his daughter. I am frustrated trying to make this page myself. I am a professional person and willing to pay you for your services. Please contact me at olapoventud@gmail.com.

Nevertheless, since I am also ex-millitary I will follow your orders. I am a Dietician not into law enforcement. But I appreciate your service. Thank you. User:68.202.104.161

Tell us
About Puerto Rican parade day in New York in 2001 where Women were stripped naked by Puerto Rican animals while the police stood by and did nothing. Is this something you are proud of? Thanks for having served in the Marines but if I came from an ethnic background as unsavory as yours I would be damned if I would brag about it. If you want to see Puerto Ricans come up the social scale try convincing them to control their sexual impulses and stop filling our streets with gangs and fat Women who do nothing but collect wellfare and drop little bastards. Ethnic groups are not discriminated against because of their ethnicity but because of the way they behave. Custom500 (talk) 00:44, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know what the Hell this guy is talking about when it is a known fact that hundreds of people of all Ethnic groups in New York City were present in that parade. Who is he to offend all Puerto Ricans and to single out that group as the culprits? His comments are offensive not only to myself, but to all the Puerto Ricans who have made positive contributions and who have given their lives so that low lives like himself can continue to enjoy the freedoms of speech which he and his racist kind have taken for granted. Yes, I responded in his "talk page", but I will not tolerate another personal attack from him. Tony the Marine (talk) 01:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I think he read your posting on my talk page and couldn't handle the truth. --Jmundo (talk) 01:58, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
