AEEEU[edit]

This organization was created, originally in Spanish, as the Asociación de Estudiantes Estadistas en los Estados Unidos (AEEEU) by McClintock and Fortuño. It was translated into English as the Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association so that mainlanders would understand the origin of the organization since "United States Statehood Students Association" would not be "Puerto Rico-specific". In other words, the name in Spanish is the original while PRSSA is the translation.Pr4ever (talk) 03:52, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Contributors should stop trying to rewrite history. The original organizers of this association named it "Asociación de Estudiantes Estadistas en los Estados Unidos", AEEEU, in Spanish and "Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association" , PRSSA, in English. Whether both names are literal synonims or not can be a matter of discussion, but history cannot be rewritten. If you don't like the translations, blame MacClintock and Fortuño (at the time 22 and 19 years old, respectively) but don't try to change the names in this article, which is historically correct, again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pr4ever (talk • contribs) 17:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion[edit]

This page is being considered for deletion based purely on political biases. The PRSSA has been established as one of the most important student organizations in Puerto Rico, with an ever expanding membership. It has en effect over nearly 3,700 persons. Additionally, the organization is involved in the absentee balloting procedure. I urge that someone with the sufficiente authority consider eliminating the tag. The above reasons exclude the fact stated in the article that over 1,500 absentee ballots were cast as a consequence of the PRSSA campaign, which benefitted Carlos Romero Barceló. Also, the organization has received the attention of the biggest newspaper in Puerto Rico El Nuevo Dia, and of the major candidates in the 2008 Primaries. You can verify if you have access to the archive of the newspaper the article in spanish "Apuestan al voto ausente", if not it is available at the website of the PRSSA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.94.177.208 (talk) 03:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
