Welcome to Wikipedia!

Unfortunately, as per Wikipedia policy on probable future events, I have reverted the changes you performed to the Luis Fortuño article under this account, and possibly as an anonymous IP account. Once they are a reality, we can restore. Even if the events are slated to happen in a few hours, they are still in the future, and hence should not be changed until after the fact. If you have any questions or comments, contact me in my talk page. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 07:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Flag of Puerto Rico
Hello Republikaner,

Look, I more then anybody want to get the color thing striaght, however the flag discussion was open for over 14 days. No one, including you, participated in discussing the situation. It seems strange that after I lifted the protection from the page, that you would come and make a change without discussing it in the "talk page" first as is required. I personally have no idea as to which tone of blue is used in the flag, however Wikipedia is about reliable verifiable sources and not a political forum. I will revert your edit on account that it has been determined that removal of Jmundo's version of the flag may be considered an act of vandalism and the editor committing the act may be subject to being blocked from Wikipedia. Now, I am "not" disagreeing with you, the only thing that I as an administrator of Wikipedia is asking is that you cite and provide a verifiable reliable source as required by Wikipedia policy in regard to the true tone of blue in the flag's triangle. I want to sort this thing out before you post your version again. Take care, Tony the Marine (talk) 02:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Republikaner, see my proposed introduction for the article at:Proposed introduction Tony the Marine (talk) 04:56, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Republikaner, I would really like to thank you for your participation in the "Flag of Puerto Rico" process. The proposed intoduction has been implemented. I enjoyed doing the research that came about thanks to this discussion. If you ever want my opinion or to interact with me, please do not hesitate to go my "talk" page. Tony the Marine (talk) 01:31, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your kind words in my talk page. I will looking forward for your contributions. Sometimes things can get a little heated up between Users here and that is why I try to make sure that what is written is the unbaised truth and that politics, religious beliefs, nor what my be considered as "point of view do" get in the way of educating the world in general. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:FIUlogo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:FIUlogo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:SellodelGobernadordePuertoRico.png
Thanks for uploading File:SellodelGobernadordePuertoRico.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 00:05, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

How are you?
Republikaner, it is always nice to see your contributions in Wikipedia. If you need any help with the images, let me know. Here is something that may be of interest to you: message, please read it carefully and check it out. Take care, Tony the Marine (talk) 02:07, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Sello del Secretario de Estado de Puerto Rico.png
Thank you for uploading File:Sello del Secretario de Estado de Puerto Rico.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.


 * There is some information missing, e.g. a source and the copyright status of the artwork of the original design. See for example File:Seal of California.svg (pd due to age) or File:Great Seal of Maryland reverse.png (not free). Martin H. (talk) 00:09, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:PRSSASeal.png
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:PRSSASeal.png, has been listed at Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:23, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:AGS Seal.png
Thanks for uploading File:AGS Seal.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Voy (study abroad)


A tag has been placed on Voy (study abroad) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Largoplazo (talk) 02:47, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

November 2017
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Colon Cancer Alliance a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.
