José A. Cabranes
Hi there, I am the author of Cabranes article and I would like to clear the following with you. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which requires that all information added provide verifiable reliable sources. Points of View are not permitted and many a times I have reverted information against Cabranes which has been added without solid evidence.

I would like to state that your addition of that "Both of his parents were members of the first generation of Puerto Ricans educated under the American flag" is false since generations of Puerto Ricans as United States Citizens have been in the United States enjoying the educational opportunities which our country has given them since 1917 when the Jones Act was signed. If you pretend to add the same statement again then you must do so under Wikipedias policy and cite and provide a verifiable source, otherwise said addition will be removed.

Another thing Wikipedia is "not" a political forum. We write from a neutral point of view regardless of the political beliefs of those involved. For your information, Puerto Ricans stopped being Spanish subjects after Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States and became Puerto Rican citizens (see: Gonzales V. Williams). Puerto Ricans became United States citizens in 1917, but were not required to relinquish being citizens of Puerto Rico. It is a fact that on October 25, 2006, the Puerto Rican State Department declared the existence of the Puerto Rican nationality. Therefore, Cabranes is Puerto Rican citizen and an American citizen regardless of what anybody says. Tony the Marine (talk) 05:58, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
