The most decorated Hispanic soldiers

[edit]

The lead says that Puerto Ricans were "the most decorated Hispanic soldiers" in WWII. What does that means? Is it a comparison of the amount of medals given by Puerto Rico Military to their soldiers with the number of medals other Latin armies gave to their soldiers? --damiens.rf 11:16, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrigth violation

[edit]

If I understand correctly, almost all descriptions in this list are copied Verbatim from their sources, making this article a huge unnecessary copyright violation. Unless I got things wrong here, I suggest removing all descriptions and, if necessary, starting anew. --damiens.rf 11:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weird referece

[edit]

What does this source is supposed to be? What I see there is a calendar of events for a city n Ohio, U.S.. It says "Below is a list of events for the date and department selected. To view event details click on the event name. To see events for another date click on a date to the left". But it's used in the article to support the assertion that:

  1. In Vietnam War Puerto Ricans were the most decorated Hispanic soldiers and
  2. Otero Barreto was the most decorated soldier in the Vietnam War;

How are these supported by that calendar? --damiens.rf 15:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nieves, New York Times, 1993.

[edit]

Some of the references just reads "Nieves, New York Times, 1993.". Could someone extend that or explain me how to do so? I want to verify the original archive, but I don't fully understand what that means (other than that the information is somewhere in one of the 1993 editions of NY Times). --damiens.rf 16:03, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
