Harry Gamboa
Hi, Rockero. Can you plug me in to Harry Gamboa? He knows me. Mig 17:39, 19 September 2007 (UTC) Look me up!

Hi, thanks for responding to my request. Something tells me that Harry would never leave L.A. I contacted Pozole, as well -- perhaps he knows where Harry is. I will try the yellow pages. This is political business, BTW, not social. You may delete these messages once read. Regards and all da best Mig 04:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

HI!
Long time no see-;) Back in Nov 2005, you were one of my first wiki encounters after I got my account, my archives and Yvonne Wanrow. I just ran across you again and wanted to say hi.

Repost of Zeitgeist, the Movie
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Zeitgeist, the Movie, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Zeitgeist, the Movie was previously deleted as a result of an articles for deletion (or another XfD) To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Zeitgeist, the Movie, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Wikisource document

Your revert
Do not delete additions of long comments on articles - they are used to keep articles off Special:Shortpages so that patrollers there don't have to keep seeing the same articles over and over. Carlossuarez46 23:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Help Requested:
Subject: “A major edit should be reviewed to confirm that it is consensual to all concerned editors”. Thank you for reviewing my first Wikipedia article on East Los Streetscapers. There is much to learn about Wikipedia and writing an article. I am a bit overwhelmed. I am requesting your help by re-visiting this article and reviewing the edits and tags that are continuously being placed on it by user named “Blow of Light”. These include deleting the “references” and threatening to “prod” the article, etc. I would very much appreciate your evaluation of these edits so a consensus can be achieved. I want to preserve the integrity the article. I welcome qualified edits that will improve the article..

Thank you for your help.

I have added inline tags for the problems I see with the article, as well as a better summary on the talk page.

Whatever source you or anyone else used is of no particular interest to me. The article seems to be an unbalanced telling of the story in some places and needs citations from multiple reliable sources throughout. Mdsummermsw (talk) 14:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:KCSB.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:KCSB.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 00:22, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of California Rural Legal Assistance
A tag has been placed on California Rural Legal Assistance requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --N419BH (talk) 19:35, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:25th-Chicano-Park-Day.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:25th-Chicano-Park-Day.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

California Rural Legal Assistance
My CSD tag was placed in error. Someone did add a large quantity of information directly from the group's website, and this was the basis for my nomination as possible copyright infringement. However, I'd say the admin noticed my mistake and reverted the page to your edit. Either way it appears the offending edits have been removed from the page history. Thank you for bringing the issue to my attention. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia so any advice is greatly appreciated. --N419BH (talk) 14:35, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Crlalogo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Crlalogo.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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:10, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

2013 Wikinic
Hi Rockero, I am leaving you a message because i am very concerned about some attacks that are being made on a page called THE COURAGE TO HEAL, about a very important and influential book. The page has been co-opted by a destructive troll with a judgmental and harmful and non-objective agenda, and it is not clear what to do to protect the objective content. Thanks!

Greetings Rockero
Hola, Rockero.

I initially started the University Hills wikipage. I like your picture of the University Hills sign. Perhaps you can take another one without graffiti on the traffic sign (i.e., yellow/orange sign in front of University Hills sign).

All the best.

Resurrection of Southern California Task Force
After moving from Los Angeles County to Kern County to San Luis Obispo County, I am finally realizing that there is life in California outside of L.A. and San Francisco, where I lived and grew up. Oh, I have also lived in San Diego, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, Yolo and Sacramento counties, and I earned my undergraduate degree in Riverside County. I am trying to breathe life into the Southern California Task Force, and I hope you will join me. Could you visit our list of participants at the other end of this link and update your description of what you are interested in doing for us, assuming that you still want to be in the mix, that is.

In recompense, I will buy you a drink during the Wikipedia Week I am planning for Morro Bay on the Central Coast in July. Yours sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 18:17, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Historical citation about Jack London's "The Mexican"
Hi. I've left a comment on Talk:The Mexican (short story) regarding a factual claim that I think is from your original version of the article. I appreciate that you provided the citation, which is a really interesting one, but I had some concerns over taking it at face value and I wonder if you could provide some more context on the talk page there. In particular, I'm wondering if there is a little more supporting evidence in the book you cited, that wasn't included in the quote; I'd certainly be interested in reading the book, but I don't have access to the UC library. Thanks!

To be clear, I don't want to jump to conclusions and say you're wrong. I am definitely not very knowledgeable about Mexican history, nor about boxing. I just happened to read "The Mexican" for the first time recently, got interested in its background, noticed this article, and thought "Wow, that is an amazing story if true, but is it really plausible that Ybarra and everyone else involved kept this secret until long after his death and then there was no further mention of it anywhere except in this one book?" And the mixing-up of details between the real person and the different fictional versions in the quote seemed like a slight red flag.

Also, from what I know of Jack London, it is very plausible to me that he would've blown up a few real details into a more sensational story that fit with his political interests; he certainly took huge dramatic license with "Rivera"'s backstory (being gruesomely orphaned by political violence and making his way as basically a feral child from Veracruz to the US, rather than being born in LA) to make it more plausible that the character would devote everything to the Revolution and pursue a sport he had no personal interest in just for that reason. All of that stuff is definitely fictional, and London focuses on it heavily. But, let's say he did somehow have this non-public knowledge about Ybarra and that that part was true. Would he really have been so reckless— with the revolution still very far from being a done deal— as to in effect shout from the rooftops of the Saturday Evening Post, "Hey, what if Mexican Joe Rivers is secretly funding a rebel army right now?" I mean, it's Jack London so of course he could be reckless, but would the Junta really have been cool with that? I'm very curious to hear your take on this. &#8592;Hob 07:35, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Again I really want to emphasize that I know you have far deeper knowledge of all this than I do. All I'm saying is that based on the way the citation currently appears it seems like there is some ambiguity there. If there really was no other mention in the Bert Corona book of Rivers & Rivera & London except for what is in that quote, I think it would be fair for a reader to conclude that 1. Corona certainly would've heard a lot of stories about the Revolution from his dad, but 2. he wouldn't have had any way to verify those stories and 3. even if they were all totally accurate, it would be easy for either a young person, or someone reminiscing in their late seventies, to conflate two true statements from his father like "Jack London based a character on Mexican Joe Rivers" and "in the story, the character is secretly working for the same underground group that I was in" into something a bit misleading. That wouldn't be any reflection on Corona. &#8592;Hob 07:56, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
