Why is the current "Puerto Rico" entry lacking in a brief summary that exposes the fact that 99.9% of the ballot-casting population of Puerto Rico has rejected the current commonwealth status (as now defined by the U.S. House of Representatives and the President-endorsed Task Force Report on the Political Status of Puerto Rico? It seems that this is very important and I believe it should be included in the first paragraph since it is so essential for a basic understanding about Puerto Rico.
Best,

I have posted a request in the U.S. Government disenfranchisement of U.S. citizens residing in Puerto Rico discussion forum. I just wanted to let you know. All the best, Hypathia 14:40, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
The WikiProject Puerto Rico Newsletter Year I - Issue 4 - September 2007 | |
| |
Hello, Caribbean H.Q.. This is the fourth issue of WikiProject Puerto Rico's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members to keep up with the latest news relating to the project. Please help with the newsletter by suggesting content to be included on the newsletter by leaving a message on my talk page. | |
I would like to pay a small tribute in this edition to Tony "the Marine". Editing since May 24, 2004, he has been one of our project's most active editors and has become one of Wikipedia's most recognized writers. He has authored over 400 articles, including 4 Featured Articles, 1 Featured List, 10 Good Articles, and 28 DYKs. His name has appeared in newspapers and magazines and has been mentioned by politicians and artists. He has brought Puerto Rico's history and its people to the web. He has shown the world that Puerto Ricans have done much more than just be gangsters and drug dealers. He has shown the world that we have contributed to history and the world just as much as any other group of people. On September 29, 2007, Tony announced that we would not be writing for Wikipedia anymore. We, the members of this project, are sad that he will not be able to continue to spread the word of Hispanics' contributions here on the web, but I, for one, feel honored that he has entrusted us with the duty of continuing and improving his excellent work. Tony, rest assured that your contributions, your wisdom, and the help you provided to all of us when we were new users will be remembered for generations. Que Dios te bendiga, Tony, y que tu recompensa sea grande en el Reino de los Cielos. Viva Puerto Rico libre. —Agüeybaná 16:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC) |

Thanks!!! I had not received one in almost a month :-) --Agüeybaná 17:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
OK, some updates that you need to know about:
Alright, that should be all of them. These all seemed like things that would interest you, so there you go :). Cheers, The Hybrid 02:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, sources can't be that hard to find, considering they were some of the most important figures in politics in Puerto Rico. Good catch; will work on them soon. --Agüeybaná 20:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Wasn't sure if you saw but I changed your edit back to the way it was. The sentence you changed had to do with the false ID's used by Crockett and Tubbs in the movie. They are, indeed, "Sonny Burnett" and "Rico Cooper". It was a simple mistake on your part. Just wanted to let you know that I changed it back to the way it was so that there is no misunderstanding. Take care, brother. :) TabascoMan77 00:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Gracias por tu apoyo! You three, including Agueybana and Tony, formed the centerpoint of my RfA, since I work with you guys on a daily basis and know me best. Like I've said before, I was humbled by the list of supporters, which has certainly set the bar very high. Hopefully, I can count on all of you for counsel and support when the going gets rough. I'm planning to dedicate time to WP:RFD and WP:AFD, and plan on letting AIV and vandalism to you (you're the expert!) Thanks again!! - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 10:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Sabes, solo falta Agueybana... - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 10:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I really want to become an administrator/sysop how can I do it and am i on the right track? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shawnpoo (talk • contribs) 04:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
You're an administrator now? I just found out, great job! I noticed when you deleted that copy/vio image of Ken Masters. BTW, have you noticed the likely sockpuppetry going on in the DBZ-related pages? See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Peter Vogel for further information, I'm about to add another interesting update there as well. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:52, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Nice Nom, well written. Would you mind if added my co-nomination with yours so, that you could paste the whole thing? Tony the Marine 04:44, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for this comment. Stuff like that really makes me feel all warm and fluffy inside. Cheers ^_^ The Hybrid 19:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about this - when I chatted to Eddie via Google Talk, I think he forgot to mention that he had co-noms :) Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 02:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Carlos Eduardo Martins Pinheiro has magically appeared again, this time courtesy of User:Grolex, which I am going to be bold and assume is a sockpuppet, since he was able to come up with the same picture and article text. I have added ((db-bio)) as a matter of course, but I believe some advanced administrator fu is called for here. - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 16:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi - as this account was a returning sock I have tweaked the block to indefinite. Please feel free to revert me if you don't agree. Cheers, ELIMINATORJR 21:02, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Just pasing through... I actually think Downwards is correct here. Category:Puerto Rican basketball players is a subcat of Category:Puerto Rican sportspeople. You only need to keep the more specific one, which is the first. IMO. Zagalejo^^^ 22:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello again. I have a strong suspicion that user Masta P (talk · contribs) may be a sock account of blocked user EverybodyHatesChris (talk · contribs). The contributions between the two are almost identical, and their editing style is the same. This is not the first sock the user has made. Just recently, five accounts they made were blocked (BirthdayBank (talk · contribs), Solidpilot (talk · contribs), HeheFunny (talk · contribs), Lormos (talk · contribs) and ByeNow (talk · contribs)) and many have been blocked prior to this. Could I ask you to investigate this claim please? Thank you. - Deep Shadow 10:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
i tried to visit halo 3 and i got sent to elephants i noticed you were trying to fix it so i let you know that it happened again Riffsofcobain 02:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

*high five* :-) --Agüeybaná 22:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I read an article in the newspaper about manipulation of Wikipedia a few months ago. A few days ago, I saw a message board about someone banned from WP by a moderator just because he didn't like what was said (even though other message board contributors failed to see anything bad about the edit).
I just came across an article about an American presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton being one of them. The moderator there is bullying others and striking out comments. He claims socks but this is just an excuse for eliminating any discussion. As far as the comments that he objects to, they are nothing radical.
In fact, I just put a suggestion there and I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to eliminate me. If so, you should make the correction to the Prentice Position article. It has a major error. MD12752 04:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
this message is for Dark_Dragon_Flame. Hey there -- I just found out about the wikipedia adoption program, and I'm very interested. I'm primarily about editing my own personal wiki installation right now, and not WikiPedia At Large ... but if you can help me, I'd be more than happy to have you along. Please let me know! --Anamacha 05:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Yay; from one Spartan to another; by the time that I'm done, I'll probably be seeing MJOLNIR battle armor in my sleep (not that that's a bad thing :)). I'll try to get to it in the next few days; however, for now, I've blanked that section as a means of purging the offending copyvio text from the edit window. I just don't want any text to linger and possibly be shuffled around; I've already seen people be on the business end of a case where copyvio text went unnoticed until a few days into an FAC nomination, so better to be safe than sorry. I will see what I can do soon, though. — TKD::Talk 04:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
First there was a Peter Vogel, now there's a Goku Vogel (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). This user edits the same pages the former did. Look at the history pages of: Son Goku (Dragon Ball), Dragon Ball (franchise), and Sean Schemmel. Is this an obvious sock that should be blocked? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 08:29, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I will direct you to the rather prominent message at the top of my talk page. Unless you have personal comments or requests to make regarding a nomination, please keep the discussion to the nomination page. Circeus 01:47, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Sure, feel free to do it :-) I'm just to darn busy to run BoricuaBot; a helping hand would certainly be appreciated. I think AWB would be the best way to go; just read through the manual and this RFBA and you should be ready to tag away! --Agüeybaná 14:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
It's OK, don't worry about it. :-) Love, Neranei (talk) 17:02, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Heyo. I noticed that you blocked Masta P (talk · contribs), an obvious sock puppet of EverybodyHatesChris (talk · contribs). He has reincarnated as Maleman19 (talk · contribs). Thought you may be interested. Cheers, ➪HiDrNick! 06:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Here's another one: FlubClub (talk · contribs). Cheers, ➪HiDrNick! 04:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Mcelite (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is another possible sock of Vogel or someone else, see his log and notice the copies of images he uploaded for no reason (he even named himself as "the copyright holder" in one of the copies). Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:33, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Please be aware that FlubClub (talk · contribs) and any related sockpuppets have nothing to do with me. I was automatically blocked yesterday, apparently because I have a shared IP address, and after being unblocked I edited the page at User:194.72.162.199 to read "194.72.162.199 is a shared IP address." Despite that, I was automatically re-blocked again just now. If this goes on, is there someone I can complain to, please? Xn4 12:56, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey, remember me?! I had to take a hiatus due to lack of internet access, sorry. But I am back! Thanks for editing the Martyr A.D. page for me. Now for my next page. Tourettes Guy. He can be seen on Youtube and once had his own website. His real name was Danny something. He has a kind of cult following but I'm not sure if its big enough for a wiki page. I was hoping we could work together on this if at all possible. Much Thanks, Indie -0 02:24, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey, are you back yet? Let's see if we can make this. Oh, and could you teach me how to report vandalism and stuff? Indie -0 12:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
How do you know which user did the vandalism? Indie -0 12:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh, OK. But how do you know if a user has been warned at least four times? You can't just report the person on WP:AIV if you catch him/her? Indie -0 00:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Great job so far digging up sources for the reception of the Halo characters- it's somewhat hard to try and source Cortana, Arbiter, and 343 Guilty Spark all by my lonesome! :) David Fuchs (talk) 15:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
IF you can find time in your possibly busy schedule to adopt me, that would be great! I'm new here (though I've always supported Wikipedia since I was old enough to know what its all about.), but I can learn fast with some help, and I'm young enough (freshmen in high school) that the internet doesn't totally catch me off guard. If you wish to adopt me or ask any questions, please leave a message on my talk page (I'm probably not gonna check back here for an answer, so for a guaranteed answer, message me and I'll message back here). My edit count is low, but I've got a bit under my belt and my understanding of the editing code is little, but its strong. Please adopt me ^_^ Leonard^Bloom 03:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
We need a verifiable source which will tell us what is the exact shade of blue in the current flag of PR. There has been a lot of reverting going to that respect in the article Flag of Puerto Rico. Tony the Marine 02:07, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
It is entirely proper to protect a page to prevent BLP-violating material from being added. Note that "it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives." (From WP:BLP. That Corto fathered a child with another woman is irrelevant to his notability, and does not belong in the article, unless persuasive reasoning to the contrary can be found. Re-adding the material is a violation of BLP, and protection is in order to prevent it from being re-added. Phil Sandifer 21:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Ta-da... Thanks for all your help! Now we have to maintain it as an FA. No big deal. :) - Mtmelendez (Talk) 10:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
I have some great news that you should include in the next issue of the newsletter. On October 19, 2007, NASA announced that Joseph M. Acaba will be the first "Boricua" in space this coming fall (2008). Tony the Marine 16:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
You wrote at 20:20 (UTC) on 18 October 2007 "Sure, though FlubClub will not edit again since he is a sockpuppet of a indef blocked user." However, I notice FlubClub denied being a sockpuppet on his user page, writing "How can I prove I'm not this Chris person that the blocker seems to think I am? I'm really surprised that someone can just be blocked because someone thinks you're someone else!" This comment was then deleted by John Reaves, who protected that page. It seems very odd to me that FlubClub is not allowed to speak for himself. I have no idea whether FlubClub is related to EverybodyHatesChris, but I've looked at about twenty of FlubClub's contributions at random and they all seem inoffensive. Perhaps I'm missing something, but can you please say what definite connection there is between FlubClub and EverybodyHatesChris, other than their having a shared IP address? I ask because it seems I share the same IP address, and I'd like to think people aren't blocked without a good reason. Xn4 17:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, that's good, Caribbean H.Q., I'm glad you've taken back your comment "Sure, though FlubClub will not edit again since he is a sockpuppet of a indef blocked user." The approach here strikes me as a bit too trigger happy, and if I were FlubClub I should be complaining to Wikipedia about John Reaves. I see that MeowAccount (the user you linked above) is even more abusive than Maleman19, but I also see one of MeowAccount's edits to Lance Smart is summarized as "reverting edits made by a FlubClub (an established sockpuppet user of EverybodyHatesChris)". I still don't see that Maleman19 can be called "a self-confessed sockpuppet of EHC". You say "he did confess sockpuppetry even if he did not say it directly", but that isn't very clear to me, and I still don't see that he said he was specifically a sockpuppet EHC. It seems to me that your case against FlubClub was always very weak, so I'm really surprised that you went further and autoblocked everyone sharing FlubClub's IP address, including me. Xn4 04:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Your userbox sections dont seem to work very well on Firefox. When I try to show some, they go right off the right side of the page, or half of them will be cut off. It's strange. Download Firefox and see for yourself. Tyler Warren (talk/contribs) 02:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
The Art of Halo, unfortunately, is incredibly detailed in some aspects and just a picturebook in others (Cortana and the Arbiter, for example.) I think the Arbiter will be easier, as it's a straight-forward character article, although like with Cortana I haven't found really good development stuff. There is some good tidbits about the Elites, though- for example, they originally had tails at the insistence of Jason Jones, until they realized how strange they looked in vehicles. I'm kinda making rotating improvements through Cortana, Guilty Spark, the Arbiter and co., but I'll add that in to the Elites while I'm thinking about it (there's also some good development sketches). David Fuchs (talk) 21:25, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
At Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 9, 2007, the Montreal Screwjob :), the More... link leads to Webley Revolver. Since the page is protected, do you think that you could fix it? It seems far too trivial for me to ask at any of the noticeboards. Thanks ahead of time, The Hybrid T/C 22:32, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
You don't happen to be into soccer as well, do you? Chensiyuan 15:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Is it possible to add full protection the WWE Diva Search article? The reason I ask is because other editors are using the list of contestants to create articles for them which do not satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (people) guidelines and criteria. The competition has finished so there is no real need to update the page. - Deep Shadow 05:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree the section doesn't really have any good info in it- it's not going to help a non-fan understand the topic any better, and there's no developer commentary on it. David Fuchs (talk) 15:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
In a word: nice. Yeah, MTV does randomly pop up, don't it? Now we actually have a decent char design section, not to mention article! By the way, how'd you come across it? David Fuchs (talk) 19:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I answered you on my talk but I did not see a reply, were you aware? Please answer there if there is additional information you want, thanks. ++Lar: t/c 12:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I've been keeping tabs on the RfAr to see what Alkivar's fate would be. It appears that this user is a meatpuppet, which would explain why the CheckUsers were powerless. At least the Arb Com is taking a stance against him, which honestly surprises me since many admins liked him. I'm just happy that he left wrestling articles a while back so I didn't have to put my money where my mouth was, and fight him in the streets, courthouses, and the hearts of men. Cheers, The Hybrid T/C 06:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, but now that this account is blocked anymore of his accounts can be dealt with by CheckUsers. I think we have him beat. Cheers, The Hybrid T/C 06:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
You can count on my support in this matter; I will be on the lookout as well, and I'm sure the entire project will be to. I will post a notice at WPT:PW. Cheers, The Hybrid T/C 06:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

User:Hypathia, doesn't seem to be a bad-faithed person, I could be wrong since I haven't followed alll of the issues involved.

The original Halo is being released as a downloadable game on the Xbox 360 on December 4, 2007. This 'virtual console' per se, is being released as part of the Fall 2007 Dashboard update. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebomb 87 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I realize that. I'm trying to put the reference, but keep making mistakes. The error is still there, and Wiki will no longer let me fix it. Go ahead and fix it. Also, go to the link for my reference, proof.
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi - that user is autoblocked as a result of your block of Media Cop (talk · contribs). Could you evaluate his unblock request? Thanks, Sandstein (talk) 06:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Unless I'm mistaken, you blocked the last sock of Hornetman16. I think you might be interested in the new user User:HDman. He created his account on Nov 22. He immediately began to edit wrestling articles...including commenting on the color of the wrestling infoboxes, which were originally created by Hornetman. His last sock, sweetsweetdaddy was discovered about the time he changed the colors of the infoboxes to gold. Another similarity is the box around the signature. I want a second opinion, as I'm a new admin and don't want to go around blocking people without some input. Thoughts? Nikki311 05:13, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

My dear friends in Wikipedia,
I would like to share with you that today, November 28, 2007, I was honored by the Senate of Puerto Rico with the "Resolution of the Senate Number 3603" in appreciation for my work in Wikipedia regarding Puerto Rican military related articles. I was given the resolution on behalf of the Senate by the President of the Puerto Rican Senate, the honorable Kenneth McClintock. It was a total surprise which I did not expect and that is why I want to share this news with you my friend. Tony the Marine (talk) 04:43, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank you for your help there and to ask whether you will be able to keep an eye on it through early next week? I am travelling on Monday, and testifying before a US Senate subcommittee on e-government on Tuesday, and then travelling again on Wednesday. I will try to stay on top of this as well. I recommend protection or at least semi-protection be extended until we are sure things are calmed down.

what the devil is that? i have not only not posted any such thing in my life, but i have no idea what that even means! how could that possibly say it's me? i have no reason to attack that guy, and have never attacked anyone (the only reason i even responded to his attack with a personal privledge - weeks ago and forgotten by me until this - is to improve the article). good God, i don't even know what that means. how could this have my name attached to it - can you help me find who has my name, and tell me how i can report this? shouldn't it have the internet address that can be found? please help - wikipedia is awesome, but i don't really understand the in's & outs yet--Snideology (talk) 01:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
It's simple really. I personally think that it is a neat little tidbit of information, especially since the ground troops in the game are marines, which, if you didn't already know, are a branch of the army. The Baconator (talk) 03:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Ohhhh, okay. I will refrain from making any comments like that in the future. Thank you for the clarification on why you removed it. The Baconator (talk) 03:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Hard to say- I would like to get all the Halo stubs up to at least start class, for one. Then I guess Halo 3 to FA, make the Characters a Featured list, and then we could have two featured topics - Halo (series) and Halo characters. David Fuchs (talk) 23:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Not really. Like you said, I've had several of these fans already. Just leave them alone and they'll get tired of doing this. Thanks for looking out for me, though :-) Feliz Navidad. --Agüeybaná 14:44, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
...Are you responsible for the thread? All it looks like to me is some anon acting like a dick. Cheers, The Hybrid T/C 16:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh, no, there won't be any problems. I've seen subpage MfDs before; it won't be deleted even if it is nominated, but to nominate it means to beat me to the punch. If it looks like something will happen, I'll have it speedied, and recreate it in a couple of weeks :P The Hybrid T/C 22:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
This user, Keyblade626 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), is uploading several fair use pictures and claiming to be the copyright holder on each one. I'll let you know if I see any others, thanks! Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 07:06, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
I've started a discussion about unblocking Callmebc, per a discussion I've had via email with him. There's a thread here which you, as a blocking admin, might want some input in. --Haemo (talk) 08:53, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
A large number of native americans died as a result of disease but huge numbers of amerindians died as a result of being murdered. They were used as dog food, killed for sport, and for other no good reason. Do a quick search on google and you'll be able to find a lot of information. [8]. Even "into the Spanish and English languages that persists till this day. The famous Jesuit missionary and historiographer, Bartolomé de las Casas, wrote in 1561, "There were 60,000 people living on this island (when I arrived in 1508), including the Indians; so that from 1494 to 1508, over 3,000,000 people had perished from war, slavery and the mines. Who in future generations will believe this?" " [9] UnclePaco (talk) 12:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Caribbean H.Q.,
I've started to clean up the Adopters' list. You appear to have changed username since you added yourself to the list but not updated your info there. In case you're still interested, can you kindly update your information? Or, if you're not interested any more, would you mind removing yourself? Thank you and happy editing, Snowolf How can I help? 22:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)~~
Could you please block 72.186.88.137 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) as a sock for some appropriate period of time. Per this edit to this section, his generally aggressive editing pattern, and the WHOIS info listing him from Riverview, Florida, I think he's a sock. He claims to be from Tampa, Florida[11], which is right near Riverview [12]. You may need Firefox to see that map, but if you use something else you can just type Riverview, Florida into Google Maps to see it. Cheers, The Hybrid T/C 06:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
It isn't the first. He has a special kind known as a ranged dynamic IP. I think that a range block could solve it, but I'm not entirely positive. Cheers, SexySeaBass 12:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for not noticing your comment before; I got a couple of messages after yours, and I didn't think to check the top of my page. If range blocks have to be short, then it would probably be useless. I'll see if I can intimidate him on Wikia, but if that doesn't work I think that you, Nikki, Bulletproof, and myself will be fighting him off for a number of months. Oh well, it won't be the first time we've had to deal with persistent sockpuppeteers. I'll keep you posted. Cheers, SexySeaBass 07:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
some comments have been posted at User_talk:Muntuwandi#Consensus_can_change.Systemicbias (talk) 19:14, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
OK, I will let you know. I also believed that they were operated by the same user. I left a reply on the I Love New York talk page about the "vandalism" they think we are doing, you should read it. I think that we should get an administrator to block all of those ip accounts. Thanks again! --Yankeesrj12 (talk) 06:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I would love to get the article to GA status, any help would be appreciated, I have been working on the article alone so anything you could recommend or do to help would be great. Eljohnson15 (talk) 19:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
The Chronic has given you a bottle of Cristal! Cristal costs $350, and hopefully this bottle has made your New Year's Day better. Spread the spirit of the New Year by giving a bottle of Cristal to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Give a bottle of Cristal to someone else by adding ((subst:User:The Hybrid/Finger)) to their talk page with a friendly... wait...

CJ Griffin refuses to provide any evidence for his claims or for why he objects to my edits. He is extremely bias (has a crossed out logo of Che Guevara on his personal amazon page he provides) and uses blatant POV without justification. I am relying on the definitive sources on the topic along with years of study. He is relying on hatchet job hit pieces and has an axe to grind. My only option is revert edits ... because bim and Blguyen (sp?) refuse to discuss their objections. CJ Griffin labels the tribunals in Post Revolution Cuba as "Show Trials" when the evidence does not bar that out.

You too. By the way, we're having a chat at WP:HALO about some of the character articles, perhaps you could lend us your opinion? David Fuchs (talk) 22:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your help and interest in the article, I don't think fusing "Administrative body" and "Chapters" to create a new section is a good idea I see that "Administrative body" could be merged some where else but "Chapters" should remain an independent section since I am also attempting to fallow the "norm" in fraternity and sororities Wikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities. Only one frat has reached FA status Alpha Phi Alpha and only 2 have reached GA status in the project: Phi Delta Theta and Beta Upsilon Chi, maybe looking at these u will see what I mean. Again I really apresiate the help you are giving me. Feliz Año Nuevo y felices Reyes!!!Eljohnson15 (talk) 03:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I think we could also use these: [13][14] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eljohnson15 (talk • contribs) 04:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, dealing with this guy should make for a good time, assuming he's still at it after I messaged him, which he probably is. He's always such a delightful personality. The sad truth is, if we met in real life we'd probably be great friends 0_o. Anyways, my late congratulations on reaching the 1 year mark. After all this time you never cease to impress me. You surpassed me a very, very long time ago, and you just continue to improve. I can't take any credit for how great you've become; you are so successful simply because of who you are. Excellence can't be coached, my friend. You've already established yourself amongst the admin community, and I predict that before 2009 you will be capable of passing an RfB if you choose to. Have a great year my friend. Cheers, SexySeaBass 17:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Hornetwoman... Maybe he's getting a sex change. Well, more importantly, I guess he's ignored my comment on Wikia. Hopefully he'll stay this creative throughout our hunt. Peace, SexySeaBass 14:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
On Wikia you get a new messages bar on every Wikia no matter which Wikia the message was received. The bar will redirect you to your talk page on the Wikia where you received the message. Therefore, even though he is leaving the PWW alone, I can still message him there, and he will receive it at the Local News Wikia, where he is a BCrat. He's a BCrat there because he started that Wikia, in case you're wondering. He's been trying to get unblocked on PWW, and I told him that I'd never unblock him unless he stopped sockpuppeteering. I guess he doesn't care. Oh well, that's fine with me. Cheers, SexySeaBass 22:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, first of all, a reference is needed that he is contracted to OVW, and the other is that he is actually injured (and of what). A reference would be easy to find for both. Lex T/C Guest Book 03:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Hola, amigo! Sorry, for the late response. I've been having some internet problems at home. Adminshipt has been... not so bad. :-) I've spent some time patrolling CSD, the orphaned talk pages query, and RFD. I also helped out at WP:ACE2007. Not much else, just where I can given my limited access. My current plans are to try and bring the Portal:Olympics up to featured status, and to help organize the 2008 ArbCom Elections.
How about you? I saw you handle the Menudo incident well, and I saw that reassuring comment by Jimbo. Way to go! - Mtmelendez (Talk) 16:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
What's up man? Just letting you know, some anons keep messing with the Goku page, do you think you can help keep an eye on it? I know that if I were to request protection, it'd be denied. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 20:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
I noticed your message on BigGabrial concerning Dominican Republic [17]. Even though I have had my issues with BigGabrial555 [18], he does mean well. He is simply trying to make the article a better place. I do think that the article does have a lot of edit warring between different parties, but in the end we are like a family that bickers a bit. So don't block him if that's what you're thinking about doing. :)
UnclePaco (talk) 22:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I have to differing sources of his heritage. One states his father is Cuban another states his father is Puerto Rican. Any help would be greatly appreciated. currently, "Maxwell is his middle name; he has chosen to keep his first and last name private out of safety for his family. He was born to a Puerto Rican[19] or Cuban [20] father and a Afro-Caribean/Haitian mother.[21] "

Regarding your request for JJ Barea pictures, I've seen some on NBA.com, when with Puerto Rico. I do believe here, I have seen a Mavs picture. Basketball110 03:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
