Mayweather-DLH

Hi Dark Dragon Flame - I've seen you've been reverting edits to the list of current world boxing champs.

Although the Ring magazine has not published their updated rankings, their rules state that Mayweather will take over their title - therefore it is safe to assume that they will update their rankings at a future date. If you still want to revert, just leave a message of my talk page - thanks! east.718 05:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, go right ahead - I won't revert you any more. east.718 05:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm really sorry for the first edit on your talk page - I'd just gotten back from the fight and was editing WP drunk - please disregard it as I completely agree with you on policy. east.718 05:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

WP:ADOPT input

Hello, Dark Dragon Flame. The Adopt-a-User program is looking for new ideas and input on the program. If you are still interested please stop by the talk page and read some of the ideas being floated and give a comment. If you want to update or change your information on the adopter's list page, now would be a great time! Thanks! V60 干什么? · VDemolitions 03:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Dante copyedit

Will do. Been busy in real life for the last bit, so I haven't been around as much. --Boradis 06:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

To tell you the truth, I have no idea where I could get links from. As a alternative, you could make a note on WP:PW talk page, or put it as a nomination on the collaboration of the week list. Sorry about that. Neldav 18:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


Dante

Hey. A little bit of advice: you might want to just take what you can get with the Dante article and don't worry about FA. You can still get a featured topic with some Good Articles. — Deckiller 18:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

San Juan, Puerto Rico

I was getting ready mis armamentos about now to straighten out this article but you beat me to it, and so far, nicely done!! cheers – Moebiusuibeom-en 04:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Check out the "Category:People from San Juan, Puerto Rico" Tony the Marine 04:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


Re: San Juan, Puerto Rico Say by any chance are good at doing copy-edits? I think all the points have been attended exept that one, but I err...suck at doing those, if you are good a them can you take care of it? --? 20:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Dark Dragon Flame; yes, I'm fluent in both, Español and English BUT, if you want a good article designation it should be reviewed once more by an expert before nominating said article, I'll take a look at it and do the best i can anyway, Greetings!! – Moebiusuibeom-en 21:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
… thanks, it'll be an honor, I just did some geography corrections, cant believe this slip by. Most copy-edit looks good but some rephrasing may be necessary, I'll be looking at it within the next few days! – Moebiusuibeom-en 21:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Ouch!

[1] Looks like a software glitch or a complicated edit conflict. Probably nothing you could have done about it... but if it ever comes back to haunt you, don't worry about it and point people to me for a tap with the cluestick!  ⋐⋑ REDVEЯS 20:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Frankly, the software can do weird things that can't be replicated by the devs to prove them. IIRC, I vandalised a page about 3 years ago... for ten minutes... until something caught up with something else and suddenly (and correctly) I hadn't done it. Scared the bejeezuz out of me though! Happy editing :o)  ⋐⋑ REDVEЯS 20:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Yamcha Vs. Yamucha

I was wondering if you good see this Yamcha Vs. Yamucha discussion and say what you think the article should remain titled. Thank you. ~I'm anonymous

I saw your comment there. You're pretty much correct on the popular usage of Yamcha in most Latin versions (which includes the Portuguese) but look at it this way: why is his name pronounced and spelt YA-MU-CHA in the Japanese-audio w/ English-subtitles and spelt Yamcha in the manga, which is a direct [somewhat] translation of the Japanese? This is where I'm a bit puzzled. Look at everyone else's name: Son Gokuo, Pikkoro, Son Gohan, Bejita, Kuririn, Furiza, Seru, etc., why are their names written "very close" to their English given names whilst Yamucha isn't "very close" to Yamcha? Is my point clear on this? I just really don't see what's so farfetched of it. ~I'm anonymous
I was just thinking, Yamucha is pretty much seen only in Daimao's DB/DBZ English subtitles but maybe it is best for the community to share their ideas, correct? Oh, and I wanted to ask you — do you happen to edit the Dragon Ball wiki as well? ~I'm anonymous
What's your name there? I'll look you up. ~I'm anonymous

Vandal report

Don't know if you're interested, but this vandal had vandalized a myriad of pages (including your talkpage[2]) on the Dragon Ball wiki. The edits have been reverted, however. He seems to have known you, and other users for that matter, from Wikipedia. Just a heads up — if you know who it might be, tell the admin. Dantman on that wikia. ~I'm anonymous
Wait, User:Zarbon is User:Recoome? Is that confirmed? This information could be of use to Dantman on the wikia; as it may prevent future attacks. Also, I am unsure if this edit was from Recoome (or Zarbon) because I've read that both have had a brawl for some time. Are you familiar with CheckUser by any chance? Dantman told me that it is used for tracking ips and sockpuppets. The program looks fairly complicated, but hopefully it could be used to find Recoome and get to the bottom of this. Give me a buzz whenever you can about this matter. I shall contact Deskana, the admin. here, to see what could be done to solve this. ~I'm anonymous
A friend brought into revert — so Zarbon and Recoome are friends. This explains somethings. I think I'm starting to see why Power Level and Recoome were "enemies" as claimed. However, what I don't understand is why Prince Zarbon said "I shall return as Recoome ... don't worry buds, the show must continue!" as provided in this link you showed me. Regardless, why would Zarbon openly admit he was Wiki-Star, Taraka, Recoome, Goodan, and those recent Sonic socks on the DB wiki? This is what had me dazed. Do you think Power Level is involved in this? ~I'm anonymous
By reading your contribs. earlier, I also saw these edits you had reverted on Power Level's page: [3], [4] and [5] — all made by different ips. Who, I wanna know, was behind those edits? Could it had been just three random anon ips or is it something more? ~I'm anonymous
That sockpuppet tag was removed by an anon. ip[6]. Who do you think that was? Zarbon or Recoome? It appeared Power wanted the tag to stay on his user page, why would he want it removed? Oh, and yes I have noticed the edit summary pattern. Zarbon's edit summaries lean toward uncivil and crude, while Power's recent summaries have been a bit uncivil. ~I'm anonymous
Someguy0380? I didn't know Power had that account as a sock. Why wasn't this notified to administrators? Or Deskana? That account looks too similar to another user's, Someguy0830. For a sec, I thought it was that user whom I've conversed with before; his name came up a lot when I read through some page histories. This is serious. So, why didn't you report this? ~I'm anonymous
Well, let's put it this way: is it possible that Power was not who you thought he was? What if it was all an act? Or maybe, what of Power Level's account was hacked into/or he gave the password to someone? I read that he was blocked for personally attacking fellow users, as well as relentless incivility. It appears that he is the sock of someone, although its unsure who. I think CheckUser should definitely straighten things out here; this may solve who was vandalizing and leaving grotesque edit summaries on the DB wikia. Problem is: who will perform the CHECKUSER program? Can Deskana do it? He had various encounters with Zarbon, Recoome, Power Level, Wiki-Star, and all those others. What should be done here man? ~I'm anonymous
I thought it was User:Dargonball1986, as it said in his block log. It must have been a mistake then by the blocking admin., however, we should still use CheckUser to figure some stuff out. Will you request it or tell Deskana to have it done? ~I'm anonymous
I'm too tired to learn how to use CheckUser now so I'll let Deskana know. Thanks for giving me all this info. If Power's talk pages weren't so complicated I would've understood all this by now. Once again, thanks. ~I'm anonymous

What Do You Think?

Okay, I think I'm satified with the Martyr A.D. page. But I want your opinion. So what do you think? Show me how to make it better. Your Adoptee, Indie -0 14:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey man. I oversaw your comments on Moeb's page and I feel I should clarify something. He/she were discussing references in articles, and I advised him that some printed references should be obtained for articles before reaching FAC, and that they shouldn't rely exclusively on websites, to avoid dead references. I advised him when we were collaborating on Rail transport of Puerto Rico, and he asked me about San Juan, Puerto Rico. I responded about San Juan and its references, but he/she deleted it for some reason. Moeb even deleted the conversation from my user talkpage, and that I did not appreciate, but he/she deleted that as well. However, I believe he/she has the best intentions to improve articles, but we are just having a misunderstanding that should be resolved in a central discussion. The problem is taking it to different pages and users, and deleting good faith conversations.

Now about his/her arguments, I believe Moeb has a point on external links. That section in the San Juan article is bloated. Some links do not belong there because they are about different subjects. See NYC for an example.

I think the best thing we can do is to form a discussion between us three, get this resolved, and move on to improve the article and the rest of the project. No deleting, no name-calling, no BS,... just pure consensus. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 21:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I know how you feel, but I believe Moeb meant to do good. I really do. I just think his/her way of communicating his/her concerns was not the best way to do it. It happens[7]. But based on my conversations with him/her, Moeb seems to be an able editor, one who may produce a lot of good work on this project. I'd hate to see Moeb go on this misunderstanding. We should advise him/her on the talk page guidelines, and the fact that Wikipedia is an open community (i.e. comments and criticisms should be behind closed doors), and the guidelines on Wikipedia civility. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mtmelendez (talkcontribs) 00:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC).

Well I'm currently pretty busy with work. The small edits I put to the article were made on Moeb's request, but I'll try to work on it this week. Here's a tip: A lot of information already available in other articles is missing on this one (San Juan Port, Battle of San Juan) besides a few pipe links. We could start with that. I know the hardest part will be the History section, because this city has so much of it yet so little is freely available on the internet. But I'll give it a try. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 01:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


Dark Dragon Flame / Mtmelendez; hello to both, first of all, I don't have double standards, when i first looked at the article I've noticed you've (Dark Dragon Flame) straighten out the Geography section which I was concerned and you did a great job!
Later after further research I was skeptical with the amount of links and, since I'm new at this left a message to Mtmelendez with a; Hello dear colleague, I think we got a problem, maybe I'm mistaken…, Mtmelendez has helped me in a few instances and that's why i approached him first, furthermore I complemented you on "Notable Sanjuaneros", i meant to do no harm.
I did delete my preoccupations because i thought maybe i was mistaken! my mistake.
Thirdly, i go to great lengths to get "Good Hard Evidence" from my book collection or from the University of Puerto Rico library because i do believe sources from the internet may change at any time, and who's going to maintain article thereafter, i did see an inoperable link.
Printed books are the best proof especially when dealing with history, most info on internet may also no be the best resource, I've seen pages where Puerto Rico was located in South America and where it is a Country! we must get good links. Books are the best proof, maybe we can work out a "Bibliography" section where books can be included, is this possible?!
My intentions is to make this a Good Article and raise all Puerto Rican articles to a high standard!
Sorry for any misunderstanding I've caused and mistakes I've made!
Cheers – Moebiusuibeom-en 16:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


It happens, the important thing is to settle things up front and without fear. Disagreements happen, but they should be resolved directly between users. Also, once comments are made in talk pages, it should stay there. You can even change your opinion or clarify it or even withdraw it, but don't delete it, or delete other's comments. It's uncivil.

We all need to work on the San Juan article, and it'll be much harder if we don't collaborate. What do you think, Dragon? - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 23:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Sure, it took me a while to anser (blackout in Caguas), I will see what I can do, Peace. - 00:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Since nobody appears to look at the DMC Taskforce talk page anymore...

Do you mind taking a look at Devil May Cry (novels) and leaving your thoughts? The article is pretty much as complete as I can make it right now, since I've not been able to find reviews or information about the damned things outside of the books themselves. Cheers, LankyYell ○ 13:44, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see

No worries, then. I'm going to be submitting it for GA-class soon, and if you've got any articles you'd like to concentrate on just drop me a line and I'll help out however I can. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lanky (talkcontribs) 22:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC).

San Juan GAC

I agree. Let's put it on the list and keep working on it until it's reviewed. If anyone objects, we'll work on their suggestions then so it passes GA. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 00:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

UR cordial

Thanks for the welcome and the links, DDF, TrevorX 03:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Diplomacy

Hey friends, I believe that even though San Juan metro area hosts consular staff from 37 countries, the “Diplomacy” section truly belongs in the Puerto Rico article. This is not a local matter but more of an international scope (State level).

I have researched various international cities and the “Consulates and Embassies” belong to whole countries or “states”, not on a city scale, this section should be “trimmed” and moved to the Puerto Rico article and just have a link to it from the San Juan article.

Let me know your thoughts - Moebiusuibeom-en 15:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


Reply: YES, agree 100% on all your points. Check this out: Diplomacy, it truly belongs on the Puerto Rico page after all and on San Juan with a mention and link –,. It's major surgery, why don't you do it since i think you've got more technical expertise. – Moebiusuibeom-en 19:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Another thing, we should add a section on Culture, there's a big move towards exalting this in Santurce. – Moebiusuibeom-en 19:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Signing Articles

Thanks for the information concerning signing of Articles, I really did not know it. Hope to continue writing articles and improving the image of our island of Puerto Rico with you. Thanks for the advice. --Wvivoni 22:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Puerto Rico comments

Dude, what are you doing? Don't give in to people who come to disrupt Wikipedia. Just comment politely and remove their personal attacks when necessary, but don't attack yourself! A more stringent user might report the both of you to WP:AP and you may be blocked. I've deleted both of your comments to avoid that, but please stay cool. The project does not want to lose you over this. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 12:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem. If you think an article is related to Puerto Rico, just tag it. People who openly identify themselves as Puerto Ricans definitely fall under that category. If it isn't tagged, its probable that the person who created it forgot to do so...

As for info on Teófilo Cruz, I can't find info either by surfing the web. But it also applies to many other articles. I think that a lot of information on Puerto Rican history and people is out there, but its just not free (public domain), and therefore we can't find it. If I had access to the online archives of El Nuevo Día and San Juan Star I think I could find some, but regrettably I'm not a subscriber. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 21:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

ALTTP

You should just leave the new ratings. While he may be having the dispute, the ratings on the articles are pretty outrageous. TTN 23:46, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

The user A Link to the Past

Your labeling of a "preventive revert", such as here, is comprehensible. He is currently having an issue with the Dragon Ball WikiProject presenting English names (FUNimation's) to substitute the Japanese English-translated names. I will be watching this user carefully and I will only revert the edit he did to Toriyama's, which I disagree with mostly. Lord Sesshomaru

Personal update

Just so you know, part of the reason I haven't been very active lately is my real world life has been kind of crazy and busy this past month or so. I'm not sure when it will settle down, but I do plan on becoming more involved here when it does. I didn't want you to think I'd bailed out on the DMC pages. --Boradis 02:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Controversial articles

I know what you mean. I tackled Cerro Maravilla Incident a year ago, adding a lot of sources and maintaining it NPOV. The result was it got promoted to GA. So try following that rule... Add sources, maintain NPOV. Very simple. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 02:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Have you looked at Portal:Puerto Rico lately? I completely revamped it. Take a look! - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 02:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, I still have a few ideas for new content so I'll try and implement it before nominating it for peer review, and then for FA status. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 03:08, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


Wow! Great work. I'll try to help you out this week to see if we could turn it into a good article. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 11:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i'm create a page with better information and new images, not for the episode, for the fast-food franchise. Sight, to see if is vandalism. --Ben-spam (Speak in my talk)

Then, I can erase the one of the episode “Bueno Nacho”?


I've suggested to Moeb that we should merge certain small articles about San Juan's districts which could never reach FA or even GA on their own with San Juan, thereby increasing San Juan's comprehensiveness and increasing its chances to reach GA and FA. What do you think? - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 23:48, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Exactly my point. I think we should merge almost all, and then consider branching off the biggest sections, just in case the San Juan article becomes enormous. I'll try and get started this week. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 12:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


San Juan, Puerto Rico is now a Good Article! I saw you did a lot of edits based on the GA review suggestions, and the article passed thanks to you. Congratulations! - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 10:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

It look gorgeous, I presume you've noticed that not only this article improved but almost every link related to it has had a major overhaul, I think we all did a magnificent job, still some polishing is due as improved visual enhancements! Lol – – Moebiusuibeom-en 13:41, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
but be carefull merging too much stuff, all merging should be discussed – Moebiusuibeom-en 13:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Vegeta cleanup

A couple of things:

  1. Since you "butted in" on my talk page, I did the courtesy of replying to your talk page so you would see the new discussion notice. I copy-and-pasted the same message to both people in the thread.
  2. Nothing in the message was a warning directed toward you. I specifically said "Edit war ensues" to not point fingers. I left {{uw-3rr}} on TheClownPrinceofCrime's talk page because he had violated it. You did not.
  3. By all means, feel free to have deleted the harassment he left on your talk page. I'd have rolled it back myself if you hadn't gotten to it first. And I was coming here to clarify that I didn't issue a warning to you at all.

Vegeta is now on my watch list. At least in this case, it's easy to see there's community consensus and one (currently blocked) dissenter. And thank you for staying on topic in the exchange and not doing anything uncivil. —C.Fred (talk) 02:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey! The Puerto Rico Portal page has been revamped with additional content, including a Selected series of Articles, Pictures, and Biographies related to Puerto Rico. However, maintaining a Portal is no easy task. As a member of the WikiProject Puerto Rico, please consider helping out in one of the following tasks:

  • You can add Puerto Rico current events and news to the In the news... section as they occur.
  • You can participate in the discussion of Nominations for content nominated to Selected status.
  • You can nominate content for Selected status in the Nominations page.

Yeah, sure. I'll take care of chopping down the plot portion, no problem. I'll handle that right now. Cheers, Lanky TALK 00:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Nice userpage. I like to keep mine pretty simple, but I like what you've done with yours. Good work! Cheers, Lanky TALK 02:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
A to-do list can be handy... ;) BTW, I tagged Category:Devil May Cry albums and Category:Devil May Cry characters for speedy deletion. The categories were redundant thanks to all the merges we've gone through since starting up the task force, with characters housing two articles and albums housing one all by itself. Just an FYI. Cheers, Lanky TALK 02:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Nice. That's what I did with Rail transport in Puerto Rico. :p I figure peer reviews should be used once it passes GA, since it is more of a step to reach FA. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 01:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

ANY news are welcome... but they should be important, and not trivial. For example, news about Puerto Ricans winning gold medals in the Olympics is much more important than Carlos Arroyo scoring 20pts in a game. Or news about Carlos Delgado winning the MVP is much more important than Javy Lopez hitting 2 HR in a game. Know what I mean? - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 02:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Sounds good. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 02:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


Ref; San Juan's tables

Hey Dark Dragon Flame; took the liberty and did some nice adjustments in San Juan, Puerto Rico TEST 2, check it out! remember that these are permanent charts, no changes will be done to them until 2010, they dont have to be flexible, JPG format can be used. Also did some nice adjustments on Images to balance the whole thing out, take a look below Climate, if you want i could also prepare a nice colorful horizontal chart for this area ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 18:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


Hey, where crisscrossing messages, where synchronized. OK, do a TEST yourself and will get public opinion
But, the section:
Geography and urban structure
  • Old San Juan
  • Other districts
  • Demographics
  • Climate
…these "Sub-sections" are all related, we could have Charts on right floating like it is for a less obtrusive look, (TEST 2) although the titles you've sent me are awesome and they should be included on top of Charts, i will be cutting out in a few moments till tonight! Moebiusuibeom-en 18:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


Hi, i'm back for an instant, (be back tonite). No problem, we should try different options, the nice chart on the right just reads:
  • Demographic Distribution
  • Chart 1
  • Chart 2
(all centered)
Am i missing something?? ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 23:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


Technology, that's what I'm missing, it doesn't work on my machine, the idea is great, "you can live it if you like" but remember that the rest of the world runs on less advanced tecno, I myself got a mother machine but its kind'a vintage, (Mac 9.02). The only fix i see is living it like like on Test 2 but having them a smaller 175px and have folks pop them up, definitely should have small line detailing how to show them!!. Anyway the page looks really "smooth"!!, got some stuff getting ready ~ Gona call it a day ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 02:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Visible Graphs add an aditional element to articles!, Cheers ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 02:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes Bizarre, its probably due to my operating system being a Mac OS 9.2, witch makes me impossible to run a decent browser, unvelibable but true, slowly I'm being denied access to lots of goodies, I'll be updating soon.
The U-Bahn
Remember that visible graphics, maps and charts add additional visual impact to articles witch makes them very attractive ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 19:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)



Even though my operating system and or browser cannot deal with some things,
the U-Bahn works fine.>>>
Can it be be done for San Juan? Moebiusuibeom-en 19:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


Yes, lets finish the other Peer Review points! the show/hide chart you've created is very innovative. Got other sections working out. I could prepare a "custom" map of the city, let me know! ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 15:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


Hey Dark Dragon Flame, you sure you want to put "List of notable residents of San Juan" in Demographics, it has nothing to do here, Demographics is something totally unrelated. Notable residents used to take a whole chunk of the article and now its on its way to oblivion, San Juan has a good dose of important people known throughout the world, San Juan and Puerto Rico shines (BRILLA) in this area, Puerto Rico for its 4 million inhabitants is incredibly popular everywhere in the world thanks to our "Notable Residents", and like I've said, we should emphasize "things We Stand Out", so I've placed "List of notable residents of San Juan" back in it's "Prominent Section" until we "fill up" article with more substantial info, later on it could be placed under "Culture" or as "See also", and furthermore, the list of notable residents of San Juan is very complete and of high caliber, maybe we should analize & research and see what Peer Reviewer maclean means by that it's unreferenced.

Lets try to consult each other when we do structural changes, lets not go around in circles. By the way, we urgently need a section on Music (amongst others), lets find someone who can collaborate on this subject, anyway, the article really looks good and smooth thanks to you and all of us who have been behind it! Shouldn't we be discussing this in Peer Review? Cheers ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 16:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Ref; Arts and Culture in San Juan

Sounds good. I'm getting something ready on Recreation and Parks. Music should be also in a class by itself, maybe someone from The Conservatorio or La Escueala Libre de Música could help us out!

Please read today's (Sunday 10th, June) Mayra Montero's column "antes que llegue el lunes" in El Nuevo Día: [CRUCEROS] and you'll see what i mean ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 19:26, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Ref; BTW, Image:Puerta de san juan-.jpg looks great where you added it, and the photo of the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico would be a great addition to the new section. - 00:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, that's the idea ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 00:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
WOW, Excellent, i could have not done better, congratulations, I believe this article is finally on a world class! did minor adjustments in Sandbox. It'll take me a few days to finish my contributions, doing research ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 02:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
You've got music covered so far, your article is well written and covers all arts, I'm preparing Recreation and Parks, essential in an island with limited space! ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 02:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Interesting article Mtmelendez sent us! Cousine and Nightlife is also vibrant in San Juan. I'm calling it a day ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 03:04, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Quick Fix; The transition between Arts & Culture and Transportation needed a buffer, Tourism to the rescue, let me know your thoughts, new section should somehow be expanded! now I'm calling it a day ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 04:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
The "Economy" section should go before Arts & Culture maybe? Tourism could be developed. ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 12:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Task Force

Thank you for the offer on joining the task force for PR municipalities. However, I am not very active on Wikipedia and therefore I must decline your offer. I will, from time to time, offer my advice and experience on how to improve articles. Joelito (talk) 22:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

You should just leave the new ratings. While he may be having the dispute, the ratings on the articles are pretty outrageous. TTN 23:46, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I reported him earlier but it seems to be going nowhere but a random conversation between three people. He claims that its over. Perhaps your thoughts could benefit something. See this user's case. Lord Sesshomaru

Truly love that city for its architectural history, still love to hang out also, not much of that, that's why we're here, to get Puerto Rico known! ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 06:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm out. not gone but out for now

DDF, Well I'm out. I am leaving the task force because it is getting too much too keep up with while I'm out here in Iraq and all the bullcrap gone on with people not coming to an agreement on things or getting along. It's only a few IPs out there that keeps give the task force a hard time. I put retired because I don't think I will be back as a full time or part time task force member but I will stay on Wiki as an advisor on anything you may need help that I may know about but again I will not be a member anymore or at less for now. You and a few others have become good people I came to like, trust and respect. Thanks for all the help, support and the unknown knowledge on Dragon Ball I did not even know. Like I said I am still on Wiki so hit me up anytime and I get back to you as fast as I can. You take it easy man and Dark Flame On Dante. holla.Heat P 01:48, 16 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:

  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.

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|UB|Home) 10:15, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Dragon ... I may have goofed on a revert of your edit to History. See the talk page entry with Mtmelendez; sorry about that ! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:14, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

PS, I hope El Hatillo Municipality, Miranda was useful :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Tito Trinidad

What I added wasnt nonsense. Trinidad took a beating in both the Hopkins and Wright fights, losing both in shutout fashion. Plainly, he was dominated. He couldnt land a single flush, clean shot on Wright and Hopkins was the same. Just cuz ur a fan doesnt mean u should ignore the facts, or maybe u didnt even watch the fights. There was no information on the fights, just a generic summary. What I added was the true description. -Jetsin07 03:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Of course it should. The legend comes from Puerto Rico. Don't worry too much about tagging, if its related to Puerto Rico, then the Puerto Rico WikiProject should take it under its wing. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 10:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Featured article

I thought this might interest you: El Hatillo Municipality, Miranda; to use as yet another example for San Juan, Puerto Rico. It's a featured article about a municipality in Venezuela. Although they are different cities, the layout and content might prove suitable for San Juan. Hope its useful. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 02:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Goku Article

On the Goku article, you make the edit where you changed Kakarot and Kakarrot to Kakarotto. Anime and Manga names are what names the use in the english versions of the anime and manga respectively. I changed them back to what they're suppose to be. Ryu Ematsu

Hey Dark Dragon Flame, I've messed up, sorry, was trying to place Arts & Culture image in it's correct positioning, (originally didn't want it to overlap transportation area) and it seems I've lost part of info and don't know how to reverse, please help ~ (Moebiusuibeom-en 15:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Been trying to revert my mistakes but no results, is page protected? I'm new @ this ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 17:26, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Now it really looks good and well balanced, here pointers:
1] Tourism and Economy are overlapping in information, I truly believe both sections should be there, we have to work on these, both also need some grammar corrections!
2] Photo of Old San Juan in the "Other districts" section has to be replaced with something of Modern San Juan


3] Charts or maps should be included for visual enhancement!
4] Needs copy/edit by professional
5] Ponce, love that city!
Moebiusuibeom-en 00:30, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


Hey Dragon, sorry for not getting back sooner, still taking a break, I truly I believe we should have the two sections separate, "Economy" and "Tourism" don't belong fused, both are distinct sections, both can have a wealth of info, we can leave them short for now but with a little research and time we can make these sections stand out!, right now they both share info and that should be corrected, the Economy sections talks about Tourism “per se” and the Tourism section about History, i could polish it up if you like!
On another matter, been researching countless weekypedia countries and states and have observed that Diplomacy is usually not mixed with Politics. Diplomacy (Consulate) section I believe should be transferred from Politics of Puerto Rico to the Puerto Rico article, let me know your thoughts! Cheers ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 03:48, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


Hey Dark Dragon Flame, haven't herd from you lately, guess you're also busy, just wrote some harsh words to Joelito (Disapointed), check it out and lets straighten this out, we've got experience, help me out! Moebiusuibeom-en 04:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)


Dark Dragon, thanks for the complements about team work, hectic, you bet, here i got some stats:

On the San Juan, Puerto Rico Article, it was was created on 21 November 2006, in approximately the first 6 months (153 days) there was 180 edits. Around the 23 July you beat me and started heavy and between you (Dragon), Mtmelendez, others and I (Moeb), until today (74 days) we have done some 330 edits.

Now it seems its in calm waters, it means we are all satisfied with what it has become, (for now i presume, article will still be evolving) we still need to polish some things, one section on Parks and Recreation is owed by me, didn't do that cause I'm in the process of going to the Jardín Botanico for some research and haven't had the time, most info about the garden is rather obsolete and want to make sure it's updated and correct, I'm also into filling in related links like barrios Alto del Cabro / Campo Alegre, Puerto Rico, witch probably blew peoples mind by having the two together, no rules are broken, they are twins plus I've included Plaza del Mercado, I will also be doing a couple other barrios, mostly historic ones, even Barrio Obrero is a candidate but i'm debating, ¿que te parece?, Miramar needs urgent revamping witch I've started already but haven't had time, and Milla de oro is in need of update, I've talked to Mtmelendez about this one, there's a lot of changes coming in this area and truly it needs to be world class. O yea, I've messed again and some info was deleted, i think its my operating system and last, is there some kind of rule against us three meeting somewhere some day for coffee, (Starbucks, or am i nuts) it's hard in other places but the island is small, we may be able to work even better in the future if we do so, regards ~ Moebiusuibeom-en 20:04, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


Orlando, hey, don't be a fool, take some time out, walk the city, be a tourist, rest, i disconnect myself de vez en cuando, you're going one way and i am staying in the barrio de Santurce, altough it's almost all done, Ponce sounds great, i also collaborate in some distant lands, been around.
La Milla de Oro is a Gold Mine, 7 or 8 “mixed use” skyscrapers are on the way, witch should bring “city life” back to this area and will put Puerto Rico back on a global scale, about time, and this we should develop in wikipedia without forgetting the history of this stretch, witch are the foundations of what's coming up, unfortunately possibly none of us will afford these new developments, I'll be happy living in the mountains “literally” anyway.
Boricua Popular Army sounds extreme, but we all must get the truth out, PR pages are somewhat bias, no soy independentista or belong to any political affiliation, but the truth must be written about this lovely land.

San Juan

Sure mi hermano, I may copyedit and rephrase somethings. A citation is needed fro the following: "Fort San Felipe del Morro and Fort San Cristobál. Both of these locations were recognized as part of humanity's cultural patrimony." Tony the Marine 17:56, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

  • As long as it was added somewhere within the article, it is fine. Tony the Marine 18:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment

You guys have done a wonderful job with San Juan, Puerto Rico and make me proud. I made some minor corrections, but feel free to revert me if you feel I am wrong. I would like to make two minor suggestions, which you may consider.

1. Include something about Rafael Cordero (educator)

2. and maybe San Juan's role in the World War's since Camp Las Casa's was situated in what is now "El Caserio Las Casa" see: Puerto Ricans in World War II and since the "first" shot in World War I on behave of the "Americans" was made in San Juan by Puerto Rican Teofilo Marxuach.

Those are only suggestions. Now, if were up to me, I would include a "table" with the mayors of the city and at least mention Felisa Rincón de Gautier who was the first woman to be elected as the mayor of a capital city in any of The Americas. Tony the Marine 19:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it has been a while. It was the thing with Benoit that drew me back. Life had slowed down a little while back, but it looked like all hell was on the brink of breaking loose within WP:PW, so I figured that I would just stay gone. I am active at the Pro Wrestling Wikia however. You may consider joining. I'll vouch for you if you'd like admin powers there. Peace, The Hybrid 17:55, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

San Juan FAC

I can tend to the FAC but I believe (as Sandy does) that the article is not FA quality yet. I was going to oppose its candidacy just before Sandy's comments. Some people might question why I was going to oppose a Puerto Rico related FAC but I am an objective person when it comes to these things. I hope that the article manages to achieve FA but at the moment that will not be the case. Joelito (talk) 23:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Article Assessment for WikiProject Puerto Rico

Hello, Caribbean H.Q.! As you may know already, WikiProject Puerto Rico, in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, is trying to assess the quality of articles within our scope to help us focus our work on the articles who need it the most. Unfortunately, there is a backlog of more than 799 unassessed articles within our scope. I, in the name of the members of WikiProject Puerto Rico, ask you, if you have the time, to help your fellow members clean up the backlog by assessing unassessed articles and review articles already assessed to make sure they still meet the quality criteria. You can learn more about the WikiProject's article assessment program at Wikipedia:WikiProject Puerto Rico/Assessment.

I, personally, found assessing articles manually took too much time, so I looked around and found a script that makes assessing articles easier. If you would like the script's help, just copy the following code to your monobook.js.

 // [[User:Outriggr/metadatatest.js]]      
 importScript('User:Outriggr/metadatatest.js'); 
 assessmentMyTemplateCode = ["{{PuertoRicoproj|class=|importance=}}"];

You can find the manual for the script at User talk:Outriggr/metadatatest.js. If you need help, please contact me. Thank you for your time. I hope you can find the time to help. This message has been automatically delivered to all WikiProject Puerto Rico participants using AWB. Happy editing! Yours sincerely, Eddie 17:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello

That wasn't vandalism, it was an opinion. How was criticizing a famous person on a talk page vandalism?

I see your point, but then, why didn't you just say that talk pages are not for opinions instead of threatening to block me?

Luis Miguel

Hey mi hermano, nice to hear from you. So, how do you like your new surroundings so far? In regard to Luis Miguel, well the problem in his case is that even though he is Puerto Rican by birth, he became a Mexican citizen without having renounced his U.S. citizenship. Mexico is one of the few countries where you can have dual citizenship. So, the other user is not wrong either. Now, Luis Miguel had always tried to hide the fact that he was born in Puerto Rico and never speaks about the fact that he was born there as if he is ashamed of this fact. For people like him I say "Que se vaya pal carajo". Don't worry to much about his article. Tony the Marine 05:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Um, isn't it "Pa'l carajo"? [Goes to confession for swearing] :-) --Eddie 22:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I guess it is but whatever... hey wait a minute how did you get here Eddie? ;) - 22:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Carlos Arroyo image

If the image is so important to the article why is there only one sentence regarding it? Fair use should only be used for things which words could not describe. i believe that the written description is quite appropiate.

Furthermore, the FUR could hold for the Puerto Rico national basketball team article but not for the main Puerto Rico article. Joelito (talk) 20:37, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

The deletion part was a mistake of mine. I thought that the only article using it was the Puerto Rico article. Joelito (talk) 20:55, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Ricky Banderas

I undid BlueShrek's edit to James Mitchell (wrestler). If you can provide a citation reference, then it can stay. Do you know of anything besides a YouTube link to prove this statement? Lord Sesshomaru

Go ahead and add that link to Banderas' article. Why haven't you done so yet? Lord Sesshomaru
If you have a reference link for anything, type in <ref>ARTICLENAME</ref> — I'm not sure what you have, but put whatever it is in. Though YouTube links can't be added per external link rule. BlueShrek can't revert if you have the right references. Okay? Lord Sesshomaru
Go for it. Add the link(s), that'll keep him quiet. Lord Sesshomaru
Don't be afraid of him. Reason why I can't add the links is because I have no prior knowledge of wrestling-related subjects. I've reported him to admin. Yamla twice now. Lord Sesshomaru
I see your patience with him is extremely thin. I've contacted sysop David Levy (talk · contribs · email) about his behaviour. Let's hope for the best. Lord Sesshomaru
That's right! You had a not-so-good history with TheClownPrinceofCrime too, huh? Yep, I've always thought they were connected, just didn't want to do anything about it because I had no direct evidence. If you want, you can go ahead and report him at WP:AN/I, I'm just too tired to do it and I'm awaiting Yamla's response regarding this troll. Lord Sesshomaru

That's right. If it passes GAC or FAC it should be presented. But this is just until the different sections are filled up. The Selected sections all have a maximum of 20 entries, so as long as there's space available, we should keep promoting articles. But when they fill up (eventually), then the process should change to a consensus-type decision. Until then, feel free to include GAs. But don't promote B-grade articles without discussing them first. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 11:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


I hear ya. Well, I've been kinda busy with work, and I haven't updated the Portal in a while. But if you wanna help, here's two tasks:

  • Update News section. This is an easy task, but also easy to forget. User:Boricuaeddie has helped me alot in that area, but I think everyone should contribute a news story every once in a while.
  • Add anniversaries. Boy this is long and tough. I'm trying to add at least 2-3 anniversaries related to Puerto Rico for each day of the year. As you can see, I've contributed many already, but I'm about half-way there. If you find a birth date or date of death of a notable person, founding date of a company or Municipality, an important historical date, etc. feel free to add it. Just add the anniversary under the corresponding month. After the list is relatively complete, we'll create sub-pages for each day, similar to the Main Page or Portal:War.

But any other help is appreciated, including suggestions and changes to the actual Portal page look. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 04:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I'd be happy to help you. I see you've attended to several of the comments from the failed GA, I'll have another look at the article and let you know what I think still needs some work. For a start, the two sections of most concern are the "Professional career" first section and then the "Winning and defending the WBO title" section. They both consist of a large number of single sentence paragraphs, which need to be better flowed to create good prose. The Rambling Man 07:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, expanding on the fights themselves would be good, but be sure to focus on notable fights, not just every fight he was involved in! The Rambling Man 08:17, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

RE:Carlito

Sure, I'll help you. Like I've mentioned to you before, GAC's are brand new to me, so you'll probably have to walk me through this. Cheers, The Hybrid 17:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Socks

Thanks, I've added my share of theories here too. Might wanna check it out, oh and I reverted an edit by that supposed sockpuppet. The resemblance is uncanny, isn't it? Lord Sesshomaru

Unusual Adoption Request

Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Wikipedia as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Wikipedia and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Wikipedia work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like.

Thank you!

Mi hermano, I didn't know that he called you that. Hey, pero no dejes que ese pend---, te daňe el dia. Tu Amigo Tony the Marine 20:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry Tony, I won't lose it. See you around, cheers. - 20:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Could you keep an eye on the page? It looks like the guy renewed his IP to avoid breaking WP:3RR.-- bulletproof 3:16 01:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Joaquin Phoenix

I took a look and since it was an administrator who protected the page because of all the reverts, I suggested that the issue be discussed in a civil way in the articles talk page and that he mediate. I'll keep my eyes open on the issue. By the way, I liked your suggestion on the Afirican Immigration issue.Tony the Marine 02:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

  • You hit on a great idea! They can start as you suggested, with the Municipalities. The municipalities really need a lot of work. Talking about municipalities, I have created the flags of every (or at least I think every) municipality of the island, so if you need an image of a flag go to Flag of Puerto Rico and take it from there. Tony the Marine 03:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Request

Hey, mi hermano, would you do me the honors of nominating African slave trade and immigration to Puerto Rico for GA? I couldn't think of a better person to ask since you have become a great friend of mine here. Tony the Marine 01:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Reply from the sexy one

As far as copy editors go, I will file a peer review, assuming that what you meant is that you would like a third opinion from a more experienced editor. In response to the DVD, I'm afraid that I don't own it, sorry. Peace, The Hybrid 02:08, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah, good. I didn't exactly feel like turning to the outside community for advice, but I don't know anyone who has made a Wikipedia career out of getting articles featured. Individual steps along that process, yes, but the entire process, no. Alright, that sounds good to me. Sorry that I haven't really done anything to help you. July is the big birthday month for my family, so I've been trying to earn some extra money. Cheers, The Hybrid 02:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but that was relatively minor. You did all of the hard stuff, namely writing and sourcing. Anyway, enjoy the game. Cheers, The Hybrid 02:26, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

RE:Ramón Emeterio Betances

Why do you even ask? :-) I'm nominating some articles for deletion right now (see contribs), but, after I'm finished, I'll be glad to help. Thanks for letting me help! --Boricuaeddie 16:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll take the images and the lead. Is that okay? --Boricuaeddie 17:13, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Buen provecho! Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 17:20, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
You may want to change your sig to:
[[User:Dark Dragon Flame|<big>'''凶'''</big>]]
as it is causing some code errors. --Boricuaeddie 17:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, when I was participating in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ay bendito, my comments were bolded by your sig. I'm pretty sure it's an isolated incident, but I think you should change it nonetheless. --Boricuaeddie 19:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Um, now it's looking like -[[User:Dark Dragon Flame|<big>'''凶'''<big>]]. --Boricuaeddie 19:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm working on the lead section; I'll show you the draft when I'm finished. The only thing left is making it as short as possible and adding sources to the parts the reviewer tagged with {{fact}}. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 20:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
That's OK with me. I never really wanted to remove text. Everything is just so important, the article wouldn't be as good as it is now if text was removed. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 22:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
(←)What do you think of using this image at the top of the article instead of the one being used now. I think it's a bit too long. --Boricuaeddie 23:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Great! I think it's a good idea to pleace it where there is a lot of text, but no images. --Boricuaeddie 00:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I've got some ideas for the lead. I'm planning on doing the first paragraph on his nationalist work, the second paragraph on his medical career, and the third paragraph on his Freemasonry. What do you think? --Boricuaeddie 13:01, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Immigration and History

I do not want to touch that until the AfD closes. However, I am a bit hurt by what I feel is Tony's overreaction and incivility. It is clear he didn't read my merge proposal.

I would be happy with either of two outcomes:

1) Merge of both into an article with the title Black history in Puerto Rico but mostly the contents that African slave trade and immigration to Puerto Rico. (similar to your proposal, but with a different title).

2) Leave the articles separate, but move the non-imigration and non-slavery content to Black history in Puerto Rico, and put intros regarding immigration and slavery in Black history in Puerto Rico that points to African slave trade and immigration to Puerto Rico using Template:main. (my original proposal)

For me it is clear that African slave trade and immigration to Puerto Rico and Black history in Puerto Rico can both exists, and that Black history in Puerto Rico would be a parent article to African slave trade and immigration to Puerto Rico. But I can be convinced otherwise by argument and discussion.

On a technical note, I think that by now there probably are a few double-redirects, which need fixing, although I might be wrong. Thanks! --Cerejota 00:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, la pipa esta bueeeenaaa!--Cerejota 00:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Quien hablo de tabaco? :P Pero pues, uno es dueño de lo que calla y esclavo de lo que dice... Hopefully we can be more productive, as I am interested in being more active in the PR project, rathe rthan all the other stuff I do around here (I mean, I created a bio-stub page for a second-category Israeli politician!!!)...Thanks! --Cerejota 00:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Lord Sinestro

Hey DDF, what can you figure out of this knowledgeable newly-made user? Take a peek at his edits, compare them to the BlueShrek and/or other socks' edits and tell me your opinion. Thanks. Lord Sesshomaru

Turns out to be a vandal of sockpuppeteer, Wrestlinglover420. It's pretty obvious at this point by comparing the edits of TheManWhoLaughs, TheClownPrinceofCrime, BlueShrek, etc., to each other — its the same user editing comic-related articles, DBZ, wrestling pages and often trolls talk pages.

...I've been gone for so long. My computer got hit with a trojan horse and some adware, so I had to have it fixed. Anyway, I'll take a look at the GAC. Cheers, The Hybrid 21:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

New Name

Hey! I like the new name :-) I'm a little busy right now, so give me an hour and I'll see what the problem is :-) Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 18:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I've given my opinion. --Boricuaeddie 19:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • New name and signiture colors, I like it. Come over to my talk page and tell me what made you change your "look". Hey, I hope that you don't mind if I continue to call you Dragon. I gave my opinion, However now I realize that the other artilce that I mentioned is about his dad, oops! Tony the Marine 21:23, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Cool name. While I'm here, there is a move request I did for Son Goku (Dragon Ball) and just wondered that maybe you'd like to share your comments or concerns there. Lord Sesshomaru 18:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
One thing I forgot to note was that I asked a question at this location at WP:DBZ and I'd be glad to know if you could give your thoughts there as well. Thanks, Lord Sesshomaru 22:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. Reading through your contribs, I think you should warn this user for making a personal attack. "Doofus" is the same as calling someone an idiot or clown IMO. Lord Sesshomaru 00:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Infinite monkey theorem in popular culture

Hello. Since the article has been edited considerably since you posted your opinion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Infinite monkey theorem in popular culture (second nomination), is it possible you would want to add to it or adjust it before the discussion is closed? Michael Hardy 18:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Blind revert on Joaquin Phoenix

You misunderstood my usage of "blind," I think; you (perhaps) unknowingly also removed multiple good changes which were included in one fell swoop of an edit. All I'm saying is that you should be more careful in the future -- since all you wanted to do was remove one word, then do it manually, or at least check the history first to see all of what was changed in one particular edit. María (críticame) 22:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment

I'll look into the sockpuppet. I wanted to make a comment on your comment in the FAC of "Hispanic Americans in World War II". Michael is not American, believe it or not he is an Australian, so you may want to fix your comment (smile). Take care. Tony the Marine 02:28, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Forget what I just said, I re-read your comment.

EdwinCasadoBaez

From what I understand User:EdwinCasadoBaez and the other IPS are the same person since they comite the same errors in grammar. I read, but it gets a little confusing so, I want you to tell me exactly what it is that is going on. Tony the Marine 06:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Conclusion

Alright, I added my final ideas. What do you think here? Lord Sesshomaru 19:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

RE:Obon (お盆)

Cool! I'm of Spanish (of course) and Scottish ancestry. --Boricuaeddie 00:56, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


Final comment

I have made a final decision on the Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/EdwinCasadoBaez. EdwinCasadoBaez has agreed on the terms, but the other guy wants blood. You can comment on it. Since my activeness has been reduced due to health problems, I would like you to keep an eye on these two at times and as soon one of them messes up, let me know and I will then have no pity. Tony the Marine 02:43, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Had 64.131.205.111 agreed on the terms, I could have asked the admin who blocked his account to reinstate him because his agreement would have been proof of good-faith on his part. I don't want to over-ride another admin's ruling because that would have nit been the right thing to do with all of the issues involved, but I could have convinced the other admin to do so. He is only intent on punishing the other guy instead of looking for a solution to his own problem.Tony the Marine 03:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Tim Duncan FAC

Hi, a bunch of us at Wikiproject NBA have been working on the Tim Duncan article and have nominated it for FAC. I remember you made some useful suggestions during the Toronto Raptors FAC. Feel free to leave comments at the FAC here, if you're interested. Many thanks! Chensiyuan 13:35, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

What's next?

It's been a while since we last discussed on Hector Lavoe. So I want to know, what's next? magiciandude (Talk) (review) 22:06, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Castro and NAM

Hey, thanks for creating the box. Using the info on the NAM page I was able to stick the predecessor in. Turns out this is actually Castro's second time as Secretary-General of NAM, the first time having been in 1979-83. Thanks again, Nicolasdz 15:38, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

RE:Taíno vandal

If he's a blatant vandal, then he should be reported to WP:AIV or WP:ANI. If blocked, the IP's should be tagged with {{IPsock}}. I'll be looking into this, but you should tell the user to stop, and, if he doesn't, follow the steps above, since you know more about the situation than me. Happy editing! --Boricuaeddie 22:12, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

No, it has not. As you probably know, classes already started here on the island, and I'm in Honor Algebra, Advanced English, Advanced Spanish, Advanced Chemistry, French, Italian, and Portuguese, so I've been busy and have not been able to run it. I'll probably run it again soon. I agree that we should remove articles irrelevant to our scope and focus on the articles you mentioned. Could you provide a link to the GACs you mentioned? --Boricuaeddie 22:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
