Thanks Hermano! You read my mind! When I was reverting those edits to Pedro Albizu Campos, I was thinking: "That roll back feature would really do wonders right now!" I did do an official request for Rollback rights but they said I had too little experience reverting Vandalism. My interests here on WP are primarily PR related articles and thanks to editors like you, you catch them almost always. Thanks again and I will put it to good use. I won't let you down.

I have often asked myself, why did the U.S. invade Puerto Rico, and what did they really want? What were their true intentions? I mean the racists element never had the intention of making Puerto Rico a state since they considered Puerto Ricans an inferior people made up of mixed races. Was the battleship Maine attacked by Spain or was it that the United States was willing to sacrifice a few thousand American lives in order to expand it's territorial and military might by blowing up the ship themselves? I think that you will find very interesting the minor addition that I just made to the section "Prelude to the Puerto Rican Campaign" of the Puerto Rican Campaign article which should make you think about what I am stating here.

Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:

Hi there Caribbean H.Q.! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.
On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

I found some references for it, and as such I'm sending them the way of someone who identifies as a member of the DMC TF.
I thought that it would be great to allow our readers to have some interactive relation with the articles and I started the "Audio" sections. I placed it in the Flags of Puerto Rico for starters and many more. I mean, I bet there are a lot of people who would like to hear Pedro Albizu Campos making a speech or Antonio Paoli sing an opera. Plus how fascinating it is to view the actual newsreel of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party Revolts of the 1950s? So, tell me how do you like my idea so far?

The Puerto Rican Amazon is the only bird endemic to the archipelago of Puerto Rico belonging to the Neotropical genus Amazona. Measuring 28–30 cm (11–12 in), the Puerto Rican Amazon is a predominantly green parrot with a red forehead and white rings around the eyes. Two subspecies have been described, although there are doubts regarding the distinctiveness of the form gracilipes from Culebra Island, extinct since 1912. The Puerto Rican Amazon reaches sexual maturity between three and four years of age. It reproduces once a year and is a cavity nester. Once the female lays eggs she will remain in the nest and continuously incubate them until hatching. The chicks are fed by both parents and will fledge 60 to 65 days after hatching. This parrot's diet is varied and consists of flowers, fruits, leaves, bark and nectar obtained from the forest canopy. The species is the only remaining native parrot in Puerto Rico and has been listed as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union since 1994. Once widespread and abundant, the population declined drastically in the 19th and early 20th centuries with the removal of most of its native habitat; the species completely vanished from Vieques and Mona Island, nearby to the main island of Puerto Rico. Conservation efforts commenced in 1968 to save the bird from extinction. In 2006, the total estimated population was 34 to 40 individuals in the wild and 143 individuals in captivity. (more...)

I like to know why you took down my professional record table? How is it redundant? The majority of fighters have a written out professional record. So what's the problem with mine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghost563 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Re: Are you a admin? Or can you explain to me what's the problem with have both a detail bio and a written out professional record? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the whole idea to Wikipedia is to put all the information on a topic into a single place?
Also one of your complaints was that the table was too "big" explain how this is? It was only 30 fights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghost563 (talk • contribs) 01:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
I guess my confusion comes from the fact that just about all MMA fighters have written records, nearly all kickboxers have written records, many martial artists feature similar tables, and a good number of boxers have such tables including many top 10 ranked boxers. So I just don't understand why your telling me that my time used to make a nice chart was wasted because...? It takes a couple thousand MB's? Or it doesn't follow some "correct" model that I'm not familiar with. I understand the complaint if I wrote out Ray Robinson's record which is very long and has a lot of minor fights but in this case with Juanma, it's a short 30 fight record.
I'm really trying to be polite about the whole issue but I just don't see things in same way. I have written over a dozen pro records and to have someone take it down for some bureaucratic ritualism is just off setting to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghost563 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
I read your discussion with Ghost, I strongly disagree with removing the record which shows a technical chart regarding the historical performance of a fighter in a viewer friendly manner. Not all WP readers are interested in reading the entire article to determine the results of a match. Please direct me to the link that shows the consensus is against a record. Did boxers fail to meet GA or FA until the chart was removed or was it never there? The two are not mutually exclusive. The best example is the Miguel Cotto article which would benefit greatly from a record chart. Valoem talk 15:56, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
If the concern is for length I suppose myself and others could write the pro records similar to that of many kickboxers with the option to "show" and "hide" the record. For example, Ernesto Hoost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghost563 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Oye Caribbean H.Q.! How have you been? I've promoted Contra La Corriente into GA a few months, and I was wondering if you're up for a collab on a Puerto Rican collab, like we did with Hector Lavoe. Here are the albums I'll be working on. If there's any Puerto Rican albums on the list or one you personally like to work on, let me know. Magiciandude (talk) 00:56, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
I need your help with something. While researching for music, I've noticed some articles mentions albums being #1 in Puerto Rico. For example, Cristian Castro's site says that "Viva el Principe" reached #2 on the United States and #1 in Puerto Rico. Then I was reading Frankie Ruiz's bio here that Bailando reach #2 on a chart called "Farandula". I'm looking to see if Puerto Rico does its own music chart that is separate from the Billboard magazine. It might be useful to our work on "Una Navidad con Gilberto" if we can find a music chart for Puerto Rico. Magiciandude (talk) 10:26, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Listen, can we move on from this album?

It has been suggested that the "List of Puerto Ricans" be moved and renamed "List of notable Puerto Ricans". The current name reflects a misleading title since it is politcally incoreect and may lead to the misconception that any Puerto Rican may be included regardless of the explanation given in the introduction. Wikipedia does not allow that the term "famous" be used since that term depends on the perspection of what an individual may consider what the term "famous" means, however the term "notable" is widely accepted by Wikipedia since there is an established criteria of the meaning of the term and there are variuos "lists" in Wikipedia which currently use the term notable. Therefore, I am calling on a 7 day consensus as to the renaming the current list to "List of notable Puerto Ricans".

Devil May Cry is an action game developed and published by Capcom, released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2. Although it is the first game in the Devil May Cry series, the events in the game are second in the series storyline's chronological order, taking place after Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and before Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 4. Set in modern times on the fictional Mallet Island, the story centers on the characters Dante and Trish and their quest to confront the demon lord Mundus. The story is told primarily through a mixture of cutscenes, which use the game's engine and several pre-rendered full motion videos. Devil May Cry received prominent coverage in the video game media, high overall scores from professional reviewers, and has sold more than two million copies. (more...)

A total of 121 Puerto Rican soldiers were among the 8,200 people listed as missing in action during the Korean War. This total does not include people of Puerto Rican descent who were born in the mainland of the United States. It was during the Korean War that Puerto Ricans suffered the most casualties as members of an all-Hispanic volunteer unit: the 65th Infantry Regiment. One of the problems the unit faced was the language difference; the common foot soldier spoke only Spanish, while the commanding officers were mostly English-speaking. The Battle of Outpost Kelly (illustration pictured) accounted for 73 of the men missing in action from the total of 121. Out of the 73 MIAs suffered by the regiment in the month of September, 50 of them occurred on the same day: September 18. All 121 men served within the ranks of the United States Army with the sole exception of Ramón Núñez-Juárez, who served in the Marines. Their names are inscribed in El Monumento de la Recordación located in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Interesting! I will look into it. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:35, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
I found Porter very interesting. I believe that his connection with Cofresi was an indirect one and not a direct one. Let me see. By October 27, 1824, David Porter was the Commodore of a squadron of 5 ships which included the John Adams, the Grampas and three others. His flagship (the main ship from which ordered the others) was the USS Macedonian. Porter acquired 8 shallow draft schooners, barges, and a riverboat. They were the USS’s Beagle, Ferret, Grayhound, Jackel, Terrier, Weasel and Wild Cat. The squadron was sent on an expedition to suppress piracy in the West Indies.
By then piracy in the West Indies had been reduced and the only concern was Roberto Cofresi and his men who had plundered a cargo ship named Neptune near Fajardo Bay. It was also reported that a store in St. Thomas was looted of over $5,000 dollars of merchandise that October. This may have been done by Cofresi and his men. The store owner reported the incident to Lt. Platt, who commanded the USS Beagle. Platt and his men headed to Fajardo where they went ashore dressed as civilians and confronted the Spanish Authorities and ended up in jail. Lt. Platt was released and he reported the incident to Commodore Porter. Porter was enraged and he set foot with some Marines on Fajardo. Fifteen minutes later, the Mayor of Fajardo and some distinguished members of the Fajardo high society made an apology to Lt. Platt.
In February 1825, Cofresi captured a Danish ship which belonged to a company situated in St. Thomas, off the coast of Ponce and looted it’s merchandize, leaving the ship abandoned in the ocean. Later that year John D. Sloat, commander of the Grampus, engaged Cofresi in a battle, which resulted in the pirates capture.
David Porter returned to the United States and on July 1825, stood before a General Court Martial held in Washington, DC because of his “Fajardo” incident. He resigned his command and join the Mexican Navy, becoming it's Commander-in-chief.

The "Red Flag of 1838"? This is very interesting. I never heard of it before, but then I had never heard of half of the people that I have written about before researching and writing about them. I think that before we can include it as one of our flags that we need "real" documented proof that there was such a flag. We will need to make sure that it isn't an invented myth or legend that has been passed down and that the flag indeed existed. I wonder which was the source that the person who wrote that article used. At least the Lares flag has undeniable documented proof of what it was and what it represented to us historical wise. I think that we should investigate this situation further. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:17, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
I just saw the huge argument you guys had at the noticeboard. I've been off the grid in Med school, but you should have posted something on my talk page so I could have been notified by email and I would have chimed in. That guy is very confrontational, and as I skimmed the discussion, it seems like he never actually learned his lesson. Feedback ☎ 01:12, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Are you sure that's the reason, or maybe APEWS had the good sense in blacklisting you as a spammer when they realized you keep posting giant walls of incoherent text? Now you're waving around your IP Address attaching it to every post and you have the balls to tell me that I'm posting your city against your will? If you're that concerned about your privacy you wouldn't be attaching your ADDRESS to your every post. Your answer to my question sounds like a bunch of malarkey. Not everyone with a bot gets blacklisted by the APEWS. But I'm afraid to ask any further, because you're going to break Wikipedia's servers with your 3 million-word response.

I'm glad to see you're still around and active since I plan to do a little cleaning up on at least DMC3 and maybe some of the other DMC pages and I wanted to let you know in case you're still watching them.

There is one thing and maybe the most important thing that we must take in consideration about he Red Flag of 1838. Was the flag intended to be the flag of the Republic of Puerto Rico? Is there anywhere or any place that proofs that the revolutionist mentioned that it would be the official flag of the new republic? or, was the flag meant to be a symbol of the revolution and it's movement similar to the political flags of today?
If there is any undeniable proof that the Red Flag of 1838, was to represent the Republic of Puerto Rico, such as La Bandera de Lares which was officially declared as such during El Grito de Lares, then it should be included. However, we must be careful with this and we must also be careful with the unproven assumption of any author. Tony the Marine (talk) 20:38, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
I had not seen the posts by Nil_Einne ... nobody invited me to the AN/I half of the discussion. <sniffle> But I agree with Nil's advice heartily.
That is also my hope. Which of these options offered by Nil appeals to you, CHQ — and Mercy11 too for that matter, if you wish to change your preference?
Having fully read the info at the second noticeboard thread now, it seems that your position CHQ has hardened from a politics-n-economics ban to a full site-ban. (Hardly different in impact; as you know Ahnoneemoos works 99% in those topics... but different in tone.) And in particular, you assert this.
"The fact of the matter is that Ahnoneemoos is not interested in pursuing an accord."
Which would rule out what I'm attempting now, if true. I disagree it is true. So my first question is, can you CHQ and myself have some negotiation-time, and achieve a two-way preliminary consensus, about some specific behavioral changes that we both agree would Improve The Encyclopedia? If yes, where is the 'appropriate place' to do so, sans drama; IRC, here, my talkpage, other-please-specify? After that two-way preliminary local consensus happens, the next step would be for me to take the result to Ahnoneemoos... and see how they respond. Either they will show interest in pursuing an accord, or they will not. HTH. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 17:37, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

(←)... I'm iffy about trying this out in the mainspace, developing a new article in a sandbox is a lot easier if we are going to experiment like this. To begin, we can easily abort if things go awfully wrong. And any back and forth would not really count as an edit war. There are several topics that need an article, and producing a decent article from an experiment would be a nice perk. Furthermore, several of them fall into the "politics" category that both of them seem to enjoy.
In his old user page, Ahnoneemoos mentioned a certain job that may place him in contact with several of these figures. I need a confirmation of exactly how "close" he can get. If he can actually speak with them, then we may be able to maneuver that into an advantage. Let's say that he can record a podcast asking them basic questions (education, accomplishments, etc.) that gathers whatever they want to share and another one of us could pass that forward to a legitimate journalist that can publish it after reviewing its content.
It seems overly complex, but the fact of the matter is that by using that method we could systematically fill-in his articles. Even if the subject's voice is recorded directly answering a query, we can't directly publish a link to a podcast without risking "original research" cries. The journalist would be our "third party" filter and I may be able to convince one. - Caribbean~H.Q. 13:44, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:29, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

There was no formal alliance by the name you utilized in the infobox (unlike the Allied powers of WWII or NATO) and the flag you created is entirely fictional. Indeed the United States had a formal policy of non-alignment during this period, and up to the Boxer Rebellion. Wikipedia has a no synthesis policy. I have read Sloat's letters, I've read Porter's letters, I've most everything I could get my hands on relating to the US Navy anti-piracy campaign of the 1820's. Your position that either your "Anti-piracy alliance" moniker or Denmark should remain in the infobox is absurd. United States naval personnel engaged the Anne at sea, and Spanish forces engaged the pirates on land. All the belligerent powers should be listed in the infobox.XavierGreen (talk) 00:39, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Please be aware that your signature uses deprecated <font>
tags, which are causing Obsolete HTML tags lint errors. As explained at WP:SIGFONT:
<font>...</font>
tags were deprecated in HTML4 and are entirely obsolete in HTML5. This means that the popular browsers may drop support for them at some point. Wikipedia is already preparing for this by delinting code project-wide through Linter. When support finally is dropped, the tags will be ignored in all signatures; any properties such as color and font family will revert to their default values. For this reason, it is recommended that you use <span>...</span>
tags and CSS properties instead.I have prepared a replacement signature string for you. (In this case, the challenge was the limit of 255 characters.) You are encouraged to change
