E-mail question
Hey Tony, are you in the Phoenix area at the moment, as I wanted to ask you a question via e-mail and didn't want to post anything that might be considered identifying on this page. No rush though on a response, and have a good day! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Happy New Year
Happy New Year, Tony. I'm still loving all the hard work you put into Wikipedia. If you ever need anything, let me know. --SouthernNights (talk) 14:10, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Deletion discussion in Spanish Wikipedia
Hi. Not sure if you are interested, but there's a discussion regarding the notability of an article I started on Spanish Wikipedia. It's an article on Dominican plastic surgeon Edgar Contreras (Spanish article here) I'm not sure if you contribute there, but feel free to add your 2 cents, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with my opinion to preserve the article. Thanks! Thief12 (talk) 01:29, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Marcelino Serna
Hello, Tony, I was wondering if you had an email where I could contact you directly. I had a question regarding the Marcelino Serna image that you uploaded. I could possibly use your curatorial expertise in other ways. Best, VAPaco — Preceding unsigned comment added by VAPaco (talk • contribs) 15:21, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

List of Puerto Ricans
Sorry for whatever inconvenience you suffered from the edit conflict (see ). I know it's a horror to have to redo (properly) lost edits. Quis separabit? 02:37, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Not to worry! The BOT has gone wild and is asking for "citations" which is fine in my book, but it is asking for way too many. That is why I required that every addition to the list be sourced or be removed. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:42, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Image request
Hey, do you happen to have an image of the Corona Satellite Calibration Targets in Casa Grande? I figured I'd ask since I just created the article. If not, I can get an image when I head down there in a few weeks, since I am headed back home that way. Let me know if you do, as I would be happy to get a photo if you haven't gotten one already. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 07:23, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think that I'll be going by Casa Grande anytime soon, but if you do take the pictures let me know. They would look great in the article and I would really like to see them. If I do pass by Casa Grande before you, I'll take them and let you know. Tony the Marine (talk) 16:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Kevin, I just changed my mind. I could not resist and therefore, I will be going there is weekend (Saturday) to take the pictures of the targets. Tony the Marine (talk) 01:10, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It is DONE! Tony the Marine (talk) 03:49, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Corona Satellite Calibration Targets has been nominated for Did You Know

 * Kevin Rutherford, I guess that for some unknown reason you forgot to thank me for the images which I provided for your article, but you are none the less welcome. After all, I would have never known about the Corona Satellite Calibration Targets, had it not been because of your image request. The "DYK" nomination fell through, as I assume you already know. Even though I believe that I have never interacted with you before, the thing that I find strange is that you have been banned from Wikipedia. Good luck in the future.

Edna Coll minor edit
Hello Marine 69-71. I appreciate your updating the Edna Coll article and replacing the dead link I had flagged. I think that's not a minor edit though. Thanks again for your contributions. Gab4gab (talk) 14:56, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Sports in Puerto Rico
I see the changes I made were deleted. I shouldn't have mixed aesthetics changes with data updates and additions. Can I redo the data updated and additions? You have two additional Olympians, with their respective notes, and the updates for Anthony and Stephens.--Coquidragon (talk) 21:13, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe that with the proper sources we can work on this together. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:25, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for following up on my comment.
 * Your mentioned an error. I don't know which error you are speaking about. For the two Olympians you mentioned, I changed the "Bronce" and "Silver" words for the corresponding medal templates: &, leaving only one medal for each. Olympians with more that one medal had the corresponding number of medals, aligned in the order corresponding to the respective tournament. You can see Julie Chu below, the table not only says that she won 3 silver and a bronze, but each medal is aligned with the corresponding tournament. I've seen this format in other articles and found it more informational.


 * In total, I made four general changes:
 * The first one was described above.
 * The second is the addition of the two Olympians below.
 * The third was changing the name of the country for the Flagicon template. This was to reduced the size of the table (which right now is quite long and might be difficult to be displayed in a tablet or phone). Changing the words of the medal for the icon also helped with the size.
 * The last one was adding notes to those Olympians that represented USA, but had none, specifically Cheque, Gigi, Moseley, and Coreia (who were born in PR), and Laurie Hernandez, whose heritage come from her grandparents, as her two Puerto Rican parents were also born in US.


 * Here are the two Olympians. For both, I used the same reference as stated in their respective wiki articles.

Greetings
I haven't been editing much due in part to greater real life responsibilities. But always remember the hard work you put into Wikipedia and great articles you wrote or enhanced. Thanks for being a great example to other contributors and to all "panas" as well. Happy Veterans' Day! Mercy11 (talk) 14:06, 11 November 2016 (UTC) Mercy11 (talk) 14:07, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to clarify something. I do appreciate your great WP contributions, but I am not sure how you might have gotten the idea that my contributions had anything to do with helping "the English speaking public understand that we Puerto Ricans are not all criminals who live off welfare." In fact, I even found that comment somewhat funny!! ;-)) Perhaps other contributors you have met here were motivated by that, but not me. In fact if you look at my articles they are mostly about places, not so much about people. If I wrote about people it was because they just happened to be related to those places I was writing about. Just wanted you to know I appreciate your writing, but also point out I didn't have a bias towards bios, that the nationality of anyone of my bioses was purely consequential (not coincidental, but consequential). Of course, that doesn't mean I am not proud of my heritage, but that's the case of just about every one else here, no matter where they are from. Now, if people chose to have the wrong idea about a certain nationality, that's their loss -- for failing to educate themselves by doing their own travel, learning and research. I don't consider it my job to help those poor unlearned souls out of their ignorance... As to the first part (the quote above), I hope it was only a misunderstanding perhaps. take care and...may the Force be with you! Mercy11 (talk) 01:43, 15 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Point well taken and understood. While it is true that I dedicated myself to writing about what I believe are certain truths which have often been ignored in the books of history about Puerto Rico and it's people, I too have not been biased. I have written about the good, the bad and the ugly with the intention that those who speculate and judge us will learn about us before doing so. Anyway, I have also written about the historical places which I have visited and documented in the states. Many of my photos have been published in the local paper. The important thing is that I enjoy sharing what ever little knowledge that I have with the world. That I believe is what Wikipedia is all about. Hasta la proxima mi hermano.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Feliz Navidad!
Merry Christmas, Tony! Hope this message finds you and yours in good spirits. TomStar81 (Talk) 23:04, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
