 * Yes it is. It is a great honor. My uncle, who served with 65th in the Korean War, must be happy in heaven. Tony the Marine (talk) 20:46, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Belated Feliz Nvidad
Sorry for the slow reply, I was out of town for the last two weeks and then came back only to end up going back to work. My first day off since I got back and only now am I able to get in and reply, but I wanted to say thanks for the season's greetings :) TomStar81 (Talk) 10:28, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll have a drink in your honor today
I plan on having a drink or two this afternoon, and I'll have one in your honor, just in case this date is something special for you. Chris the speller  yack  16:44, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you my friend. You are right this day is special. Take care. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:56, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

No more articles
Due to the stalking and harassment that I feel I have been subject to this year, I will no longer create articles for Wikipedia. I will continue to check the ones in my watch-list and fix any errors or reverse any undue vandalism.

Many of my articles, which have stood the test of time, were deleted or decimated by those who do not appreciate the contributions and sacrifices which Puerto Ricans and those of Puerto Rican descent have made to the United States as members of the military.

However, I am proud to say that the Government of Puerto Rico has recognized my work and dedication. This is what they had to say:

For me this is what really matters. Tony the Marine (talk) 04:54, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

FAR for Hispanic Americans in World War II
I have nominated Hispanic Americans in World War II for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Bumbubookworm (talk) 12:30, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Marine 69-71! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at City of Mesa Cemetery that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. ''Hello: This is a minor point about the minor edit check-box. Also, please look at WP:ALLCAPS.''   – S. Rich (talk) 22:50, 25 July 2021 (UTC) Ack! I should have looked closer at your profile. DTTR might apply. Thanks. 22:53, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tony. I removed several statements from this article related to military service. I could not reach the website in question (2 cites but 1 site) to verify the claims there. In addition, the site appeared to be some sort of rogue internet site as I received various "don't go there" warnings using verious browsers. You might want to check my edits (today) and see if they merit being reverted. Thanks. Mercy11 (talk) 04:04, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * My friend, in my humble opinion you did the right thing! Tony the Marine (talk) 03:52, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tony,

It's been a while! I see you've been busy continuing your great contributions to this project, as well as your extraordinary commitment to contributing on Puerto Rico related topics. I just hope you've also been well. So it occurred to me, especially on this day, that it felt right to acknowledge your continuing service to this project; your past and present service to the United States; and your commitment to Puerto Rico. So please accept these small tokens of appreciation.

But I also know you created two barnstars, but obviously couldn't award them to yourself. So it's about time they FINALLY came home! No one is more deserving.



'''"To be award to dedicated users whose contributions and dedication to articles regarding Puerto Rico are above and beyond gtp, what is normally expected and have helped provide a positive image of the island." Awarded to Marine 69-71. '''

You could have written both of these descriptions to describe yourself, Tony! It's long overdue that they were returned to you. Also there are a couple more barnstars that seem more than appropriate and very well-deserved.

Congratulations, Tony! X4n6 (talk) 22:40, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstars, I truly feel honored. T only wish there were more people like you in this project. I have tried to share whatever knowledge I have in Wikipedia, however there is always a group of people who do not appreciate the work that I have done. I am so happy that you are not one of them. Take care Tony the Marine (talk) 01:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You reminded me of a favorite poem. If you're unfamiliar with "Desiderata", please give it a read. I hope you'll find it as helpful, at times, as I have. Stay well. X4n6 (talk) 07:37, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society
Dear Marine 69-71,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. As with the barnstars, this is long overdue.&#x200B;

Best regards, X4n6 (talk) 07:46, 13 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I took your advice and joined the society! Tony the Marine (talk) 01:16, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Great! Welcome! X4n6 (talk) 08:58, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Precious anniversary

Rollback
As I'm sure you know, rollback is approved only for vandalism.

Please revert your edits or I will walk you over to ANI for misuse of your permissions. IznoPublic (talk) 21:24, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * And if you should want an explanation for why I made the edits I did to possibly help you believe that an editor and admin with nearly 14 years experience is not a vandal, please review MediaWiki talk:Common.css/to do. --IznoPublic (talk) 21:37, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tony, I notice that the link for the 2nd reference in the Ruben A. Cubero article is broken. Perhaps you can fix it? &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 20:19, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
