List of Puerto Ricans
One of the main concerns about the "list" is that it is getting out of control and that many names of people who have only had their "15 minutes of fame" or simply are non-notables are being added. I propose that we set up guidelines as to who should be admitted with a clear definition as to the terms "notable" and "fame". I am calling upon the parties interested to express their opinion and to help develope these guidelines. I believe that after we take a vote and reach a consensus, said guidelines should be followed and posted either on the article or the articles talk page. We need your help. Tony the Marine 19:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree. I believe that those that only had their 15 minutes of fame should not be included. We have quite a lot of notable Puerto Ricans, as noted on boricuafirst.com, that have contributed immensely to make this a better world. (Cesar)

"That Puerto Rico is not a country, but is a Commonwealth of the United States?" and

"That Puerto Rico has never been a country?"

I don't know, but that doesn't make any sense to me. What do you think? Tony the Marine 06:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * You can participate in the discussion of Nominations for content nominated to Selected status.

Man, I haven't heard from you for sometime. What have you been doing? Did you that Senator K. McClintock spoke about me in his Memorial Day speech? Check out what he said over here: User:Marine 69-71/Why do I write in Wikipedia. Tony the Marine 01:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Welcome back!! We thought you were away for good. I put a message on top advising users that you hadn't edited since December 2006. But its good to hear of your return. Wikipedia needs good Boricua editors. Paz. - Mtmelendez (Talk 10:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Main Page
Surprise! History of Puerto Rico has been selected for presentation on the Main Page for Monday, June 18, 2007 (tomorrow!). My congratulations to all editors who helped bring this important Puerto Rican topic to FA, especially to Joelito. But don't celebrate yet. There's two important things we should do: Well, gente, take pride that on June 18, Puerto Rico's history will be presented on the grandest of pages in Wikipedia. Peace! - Mtmelendez (Talk 10:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Review the article. Since it became FA, it has received extensive edits from users, and therefore may need copy-editing and MOS-adjustments for presentation. Some users related to the Main Page-selection process have already made many edits, and we should continue their good work to make sure the article is pristine.
 * 2) WATCH IT!! Given the Main Page's exposure (millions view it every day), FA articles which are presented there get viewed by many people, including vandals. Please watch the page carefully, reverting vandalism as you go. I've seen Main Page articles get overwhelmed with vandalism, and since many more people keep going to it on the Main Page, we don't want them to see a vandalized article. This is a 24 hour task (as long as its presented), and requires the collaboration of the entire Puerto Rico WikiProject.

Congratulations to all the good editors who have worked in the page thru all these years (and the many to come!). --vertical 20:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Happy Constitution Day!

Deletion of Puerto Rican images
As you all know, certain situations among which are included my personal health, have led me take a leave of absence from Wikipedia, however I believe that the idea proposed by Angusmclellan is an excellent one. Instead of nominating Puerto Rican related images by the masses, the images which have problems will first be listed in the page which I just created: WikiProject Puerto Rico/Images with problems. We will be given more then sufficient time as a "team" to find sources and make what ever fixes need be in order to keep them from being deleted. This is a Wiki-community team effort regardless of who uploaded the image. I ask all those who really care about the images related to Puerto Rico to post the link "Wikipedia:WikiProject Puerto Rico/Images with problems" in your "watchlists".

Governing"?
I noticed your Edit Revert here. As I am not inclined to partake in edit reverting wars, there is a current continuing discussion on this topic of which you are already an active participant. What disturbs me the most is that you called this edit Vandalism and I cannot disagree more. Mercy11 is a dedicated and irreplaceable WikiProject Puerto Rico member and I am disappointed that you would call what is clearly not vandalism so. Quaz Gaa  14:49, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
