I did not email the board; that was just to scare you until the matter resolved itself with the help desk. I plan to let this incident slide after looking at the discussion between yourself and Maru. It seems you did not know Coolcaesar so it wasn't a personal favor, but rather just a quick judgment call on your part.

[edit] Battles
Hello Antonio,
thanks for your answer. In fact, the whole category Battles by country and its subcategories are corrupted. Basically, a lot of battles are in wrong countries with wrong protagonists (not in the text itself but with wrong categories). I am currently trying to fix that, by taking over every category and making something standardized (based on the concept Battle in actual country/Battle of country/city/people).
Feel free to help if you want.
Thanks again

[edit] Caribbean notice board
Hola, Antonio. Thanks for the message re the Caribbean notice board. My idea was to define it as broadly as possible, to help get things off the ground by having a critical mass of people involved -- ignore technicalities like El Salvador not having a coast 'cos, heck, it can always be split up later if necessary. As it is, it seems to have lost pretty much all of its steam, which is a shame. Cheers, –Hajor 02:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aircraft specs policy
Several weeks ago, you voted in the WikiProject Aircraft Specifications Survey. One of the results of the survey was that the specifications for the various aircraft articles will now be displayed using a template. Ericg and I have just finished developing that template; a lengthier bulletin can be found on the WT:Air talkpage. Naturally, we will need to begin a drive to update the aircraft articles. However, several topics in the survey did reach establish consensus, and they need to be resolved before we implement the template. It is crticial that we make some conclusion, so that updating of the specs can resume as soon as possible. You can take part in the discussions here.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Trinidad vs. De La Hoya.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Trinidad vs. De La Hoya.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you created this/these image(s) yourself, you can use the {{PD-self}} tag. Thank you.∞Who?¿? 07:27, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BBC autograph hunting
Hello there,
I'm producing a feature on autograph hunting for The Jeremy Vine Show on BBC Radio 2 on Tuesday. I came across an article on your site at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Autograph_collecting_do's_and_dont's. I was intrigued by the page, and would love to speak to the person who wrote it... Could you possibly send me their contact details, or alternatively pass mine onto them? I'd be really interested to talk to them.
- Hi Antonio it looks like the person from the BBC didn't leave a contact you can send a message to the Jeremy Vine show on the BBC here [1] I'd guess they'd be interested to talk to you since you made the wikipedia autograph page. Bye Arniep 23:50, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Antonio. Actually this person (the BBC person) did get in touch through the board address on OTRS. Could you send me an email at notafishz AT gmail PUNTO com so that I can forward his email to you and you can get in touch directly? Thanks a bunch. He got in touch with us again saying you did not answer ;-), but I guess if he doesn't leave his address...well, you cannot. Cheers, notafish }<';> 22:26, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] they use abusive and illegal measures
These are the arguments posted on the page of "Moldovan language".
For these facts many users have been blocked and more forced to accept an unilateral point of view of the Administrator Mikkalai and 16 years old Kid [[Node _ue]]. He does not bring arguments as we do, instead he uses his power to block many times (for one week or 24 h). Like for yourself, he warned you and mock on you saying that you don't have the right to say something.
I agree with you when you say to redirect to "Romanian language". Anyway "Romanian" was once recognized in the constitution as official language of the Moldova between 1991-1994 and many attempts to remake this were done.
"Moldovan language" is in fact indentical with Romanian language, renamed as a "language" for political reasons by the government. Although similar theories have been fielded for other languages, this proposal is now believed to have been made to serve political purposes only, and nobody has provided any evidence so-far towards the idea that Moldovan and Romanian are not from common linguistic stock.
The term "Moldovan" is also a soviet invention (see Dept. of State & CIA). A separate language based on these was declared and promoted for political reasons, in order to further advance a Moldovan identity separate from that of Romania.
The soviet Russians called people of Moldavia Republic: "Moldovan" because they wanted to create a new nation different from Moldavians/Romanians.
There is also in Romania a region called Moldova.
Russians manipulated people of Republic of Moldova and washed their brains to create a new person, the soviet "Moldovan". The real name in English is Moldavian, in Romanian is Moldovean and in Russian is Molidavanin. So "Moldovan" belongs to no language!

- Very interesting. For those who bother making a click on the link I will cite:
"The name 'Moldovan language' (in Russian, МОЛДaВCKИЙ ЯЗБIK 'moldavskii iazyk'); in Romanian, limbă moldovenească, or, in Cyrillic characters, ЛИMбЗ MOЛДОBeНЯCKЗ was applied in the Soviet Union, as during earlier periods of Russian occupation of the area in question, to the * Romance language used in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (corresponding more or less to the formerly Romanian territory of Bessarabia, annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940). In reality, 'Moldavian' is nothing else than the *Romanian language as spoken in Moldavia, i.e. both east of the river Prut in Bessarabia (now the Republic of Moldova) and west of the Prut in that part of the former province that remains as part of Romania. Claims made in the post-Second World War period by the Soviet linguists that 'Moldavian' should be recognized as a distinct Romance language were not taken into seriously by western scholars. Under Soviet domination, the *Cyrillic alphabet was in the use in the Moldavian SSR until the passing of a law on 31 August 1989 (i.e. before the break-up of the Soviet Union) proclaiming Moldavian as the official language of the Republic and the use of Latin script. Apart from a few lexical differences (mainly technical terms borrowed from Russian rather than, as in standard Romanian, from western languages), the written language was thenceforth indistinguishable from that in use in Romania and moves are afoot to harmonize the technical terminology of Moldova with that adopted in Romanian specialized dictionaries. After the Republic of Moldova declared its independence of the Soviet Union in 1991, its Constitution (1994) declared that the official language was limba moldoveneasca 'the Moldavian language'. At the time of writing, moves to have this amended to 'limba română' the Romanian language have not yet succeeded.

- Even at the internationally level (officially) is recognized that in Moldova the people speak romanian. Just for your record the US State Dept. (their foreign office), the french ministry of foreign affairs(France), the UK foreign office (UK), the german ministry of foreign affairs (Germany) are stating one think: in Moldova it is spoken romanian. romanian is the official language even if the name is moldovan.

[edit] Artificial creation of the "Moldavian language". Evolution from Romanian to so called Moldavian
Lately were discovered some facts that prove that the theory of the both languages romanian and "moldovan" - was prefab since the 1812-1918. Some important aspects of the problematics: functioning of the romanian language in the sphere of the laic education system from Bessarabia of the year 1812-1918, the attempts to codyfing the romanian language in conditions of a linguistic situations, causes that determined to degradation of the language compared with spoken romanian on the right side of the river Prut, taking out the name "romanian" and introducing the term "limba moldoveneasca", the intention of the tsarist government "to create a dialect neared to the slavic language".
In the first years of russian occupation (after 1812), because 95% of the population being romanians which they knew only their mother tongue, romanian was admitted as an official language in the institutions of Bessarabia, used along with russian. Gradually the russian language win importance. According to the dates offered by the Dept. for ruling the Bessarabia from 1828, the papers from bureau were held only in russian, and around 1835 it is established a term of 7 years time in which the state institutions will still accept acts in romanian language. As concerning the education, romanian was admitted as language of teaching only until 1842, after that being taught as a separate object. Thus, at the theological Seminar of Chişinău, romanian language is found on the list of compulsory subjects, with 10 hours weekly, until 1863, when the department of romanian is closed for good. At the highschool no. 1 from Chişinău the pupils had the right to choose between romanian and german or between romanian and greek until 9th of Feb. 1866, when the state counselor of the russian government interdicts teaching of the romanian language because the pupils "know this language in the practical mode, and its teaching follows other goals". Around 1871, the tsar published an ucaz "On the suspension of teaching the romanian language in the schools from Besserabia", because "In russian Empire are not taught local speeches".
Two examples of the identity were given: (one is from the constitution of both countries – see the identity)
[edit] Comparison Romanian/Moldavian
The example below demonstrates that a formal text in Romanian and Moldovan may be completely identical, the only difference being the spelling of the î vowel in the word vântul. The colloquial languages show more difference, which varies over the area.

| Vocalele pot să fie pronunţate singure sau împreună cu semivocale sau consoane. | Vocalele pot să fie pronunţate singure sau împreună cu semivocale sau consoane. | The vowels can be pronounced alone or together with semivowels or consonants. |
Second example is taken from the Constitution of Moldova and Romania. The identity is more than obvious.

As you can obvious see from these examples they are identical. We speak here about one language. But they Mikkalai and Node_ue don't accept such examples and they constantly delete them without any argument. They delete them because the examples demonstrates all …

Hey Antonio, I thought I had already left you a message somewhere, but after looking around, I don't see it anywhere. The message I thought I left you went something like this: Glad to have you aboard. I'll try to do some background on Carlos Almaraz this week (it should definitely mention that he was gay). As you can tell, we have decided to focus the project on Mexican-American and Chicano topics. I notice you have written a good deal about sports, and that is one area that is lacking (I noticed the additions to the section—good job). And if you have a good library nearby, you should be able to get the resourced you'll need for what you want to research. I look forward to working with you! BTW the article on Mexicana was excellent.--Rockero420 03:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Gracias vale. I've got a special award in the works for project participants, so you've got one coming your way after another article or too. I noticed you used the word "güey" (buey). Do Boricua say that too? I thought it was just a Mexican thing. Also, do Boricuas say "agüevo", as in "of course" like us? And do you guys say "coño" like the Cubans? Just a little curious because I've had a lot of Mexicans, Central Americans, and I have a close Cuban friend, but I don't really know that many Boricuas. I would love to learn more about PR (all I really know about is Lolita Lebrón, a fascinating woman, and West Side Story), and I'd prefer to learn it from people who know. Anyways, thx again for the recognition. PAZ, --Rockero420 07:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comma before LoPbN dates?
Hi, and thanks for your contribs on List of people by name-tree pages!
You may be interested something that's been diffidently discussed for over a year, but hasn't gotten any attention since i asked for opinions on resolving it about 6 months ago. I've put a lot of commas between the link to the subject's bio and their parenthesized dates of birth &/or death, since that has been the predominant approach for a long time, but my cautiousness about a change has been the strongest opinion for it that i've heard for a while before, and since then.
Earlier this week, i announced my intention to eliminate the comma before (but not the one after) the dates, come the new year; that too has brought no response.
Your interest in the pages suggests you're among those whose continued silence should justify my confidence in that move, so i hope you'll speak up at Talk:List of people by name#Commas if you've got enough of an opinion to bother commenting on it.

Sorry if I sound too aggravated. In mid-2004 you created the article on E.J. Montini, the essential facts of which remained intact to this day. Unfortunately some of them were less than accurate, as Montini himself has pointed out. I've nuked the prominent errors, and figure that the least we can do now is to get him a proper Wikipedia entry. Can you help? In particular, do you have any sources? There appears to be very little biographical info on him online. --Kizor 13:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
-- Hi, thanks for answering and sorry for being accusative - I get too worked up over these things. It's be unreasonable to expect you to remember an article started over 18 months ago, or to question your intentions. And I have to admit that having a Wikipedia article one's written receive a mention in the press must be flattering... though a less embarassing one would be even better.

[edit] Año Nuevo, etc.
Hello and Happy New Year, 'mano! I meant to get back to you about your Chacon-Limon article. Great work on the background there. I think at some point we may need to move some of that info to some sort of Mexican-Chicano rivalry article, but for right know it is fine where it is.
The thing about the word Chicano (which needs to be explained in the word's article--the narrowness of the definition is one of the reasons there is so much disagreement on the talk page), is that it is an ethnic signifier. Ethnicity is both touchy and highly abritrary subject, so it becomes a matter of personal identity rather than a blanket term. And since the meanings of words change over time, labels that were very convenient in the turbulent 60s and 70s no longer have lost some of their initial value. These days, people that have "graduated" from the Chicano movement no longer associate themselves with leftist causes don't like their ethnicity to be associated with their politics.
Some people who used to identify as Chicanos feel that the term is too exclusive since it doesn't include Central Americans, Boricuas, etc. They tend to prefer Hispanic or Latino. Some people don't like the American aspect of Chicanismo, and consider themselves simply "Mexican". And some people never identified themselves as Chicanos in the first place. In Tejas, they have a long tradition of having their own culture and identity. So it doesn't surprise me that Mexican American tejanos felt no need to call themselves Chicanos, because when the word gained prominence, it filled a void in the collective consciousness and answered the question "Who am I?" Identifying themselves as Chicanos helped root people, especially the youth, into the "here and now" when they felt uprooted from the "motherland" and excluded from mainstream society, so it was more useful in places like California and Colorado.
Now that we have (almost full) social inclusion, the need for the word is not as great. I hope this explains a little bit. I've been wanting to tackle that article and do a mean rewrite, but writing new articles is so much more fun than laboring over someone else's errors.
I also wanted to write you about feminist research. You may want to check here, and there are a fair amount of databases online. I usually do my research in the library (--I just tend to trust books a bit more than websites), and the library I use has a great research staff. (And since we're on the subject, did you hear about that group of women in India who murdered their neighborhood rapist in court? The police were not protecting them so they took justice into their own hands. I believe in letting the punishment fit the crime, but I could not feel sorry for that man.) If you're anywhere near ASU, you may want to visit their library for better resources than I can point you toward.
I don't know if you noticed, but I just finished an article on Estela Ruiz. If you're anywhere near Phoenix, you might be able to get a picture for it. I know they have a shrine in their back yard that is open to the public. I know its a lot to ask, so take your time. But when I started reading about this woman, I just became fascinated and had to write about her.
OK pues, I hope you have a fantastic 2006. Tu wiki-amigo, Rockero420 16:31, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Joaquin has been using that image to identify himself, but I know it is much easier to copy/paste those types of awards than to start from scratch, so I suspected it might be unintentional.

[edit] WikiProject: Puerto Rico
Hey, thanx for leaving a message in my Talk Page and for inviting me to contribute to this WikiProject. I already added my name to the list of contributors. Let's see what I can add in the following days.
However, and since you mentioned it, I've been wondering what's the point of the country infobox if there's already one in the Puerto Rico page? I mean, wouldn't it be repetitive? you might also copy and paste the one in the article.
Anyway, you can visit several WikiProjects from other countries and see what else you can add to this one.

[edit] Boxing info-box
I suggest that we should organise info-box of boxers.
- Name
- image
- nickname
- weight class
- date of the birth
- birthplace
- Date of the death
- deathplace(necessary?)
- style
- record
I think hometown should be removed because it is fluid, and add a column of formal name because some boxers use ring name for boxing fights. For example, Henry Armstrong to Henry Jackson Jr, Max Baer to Maximillian Adelbert Baer. Do you agree with this? I need your opinion. Bye Yappakoredesho 17:41, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ingoolemo: First of all, thank you for voting on the arbitration elections, even if your vote was against me. Believe it or not, I like it when people call me naive or what was the other thing you said.
The reason is that, I like the constructive criticism. I think you can help me out by letting me know which areas you think I can improve and then I can work on those areas. As much as I have written here (3 years and counting now trust me and it never gets old!) I always look to improve because after all, we are an internet spectre (everyone sees us, so we need to be the best writers we can be), and because of that, any suggestion you may have for my writing style to be improved will be greatly appreciated.
Anyways, thanks for everything, and God bless you! I hope we can become wiki-friends!
Sincerely yours, Antonio McCartney's Lover Martin
- I guess that the issue is not that you aren't qualified, but that we have differences in opinions about the issues. Thus, I can't merely recommend, 'you could do X better.' Rather, I'll have to present my own values and vision for Wikipedia to you, and attempt to persuade you to accept them. Whether or not you choose to embrace my philosophy is your choice, of course. I hardly expect you to abandon your beliefs in order to gain votes. In short: though we respect each other, we don't agree with each other.
- As per your request, I will eventually post some soundsnacks of my opinions for you to mull over. Unfortunately, as you may have noted from my Candidate Questions page, I'm not always timely about getting around to such things. But I promise that I'll post more some time in the next few weeks.

Hey Car: Thanks for the note on my user page. I write articles every day and that has been going for three years so as you can imagine I can't even remember everything I've done lol.
I probably placed that image there because of this: I saw the image at a few websites by looking through Google and obviously believed it to be public domain. What should we do in this case?

[edit] An Esperanzial note
As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.
In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)
Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Celestianpower háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New York Puerto Rican boxer
_ _ Hi, 'Ton, i notice with pleasure that you continue steadily contributing new LoPbN entries on notables.
_ _ I'm writing about Jose Basora, described there as
- ... New York Puerto Rican boxer
which i'm tentatively changing to
- ... American Puerto Rican-descended boxer
even tho i fiind it about 3/4 of a word too long for his situation and LoPbN's very compact, stylized descriptions. Of course, that's based on my assumption that i grasp what you understand his situation to be.
_ _ Puerto Rican bios are the ones most difficult for me to as to their LoPbN entries -- partly bcz it's not as easy to "just throw up my hands" as i might, say, with ethnic Russians born in Kazakhstan during Soviet rule, or with Kurt Gödel who seems to have had at least four or five citizenships. Please forgive me if i'm just thinking out loud, bcz i do so here in the hope of avoiding appearing to brusquely edit you, and of perhaps learning something from you that will make me wiser in future cases.
_ _ What i try to do on LoPbN, as first priority, is get down "nationality", usually in a sense that is equivalent to citizenship: British, usually, rather than Welsh or N. Ireland, Spanish rather than Basque or Catalan, and so on. Part of that emphasis is that there is less nuance involved in identifying citizenship than the other categories, which can so much more easily be treated with the thoroughness they deserve in the bio articles: trying to state them at all fairly and precisely would take up more than their share of "mental space" in an LoPbN entry, without much benefit in terms of improved navigation to the desired bio. Another part of that emphasis is that there are so many ethnicities that are smaller than the country that predominantly includes them, so that there is danger of the ethnicity alone being less helpful than the citizenship alone. For instance, many English speakers in this decade can identify a country or two that has Kurds. But ten years ago Kurds sounded like a food, and there are still very few who know there are still Assyrians, or can tell you where to look for Berbers and Uighurs. (I think you'll recall my emphasis on these entries serving as good routes to the bio articles rather than encouraging people to treat them as information sources.)
_ _ That being said, IMO Puerto Rico is a special case, first bcz the Commonwealth status is so unusual -- virtually unique in US, i guess, since Alaska statehood several generations ago, and of course bcz so many can place Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. I'm tempted to call it a "semi-colonial status", except that that is too vauge to really add any userful information to a discussion.
_ _ On LoPbN i convert Sardinian, Native American, and Uighur to "Italian Sardinian", "American Mohawk" (or whatever tribe), and "Chinese Uighur" (usually deferring to the other editor's opinion in recognition of my inability to spot the probably rare cases where ethnicity does help navigation rather than just duplicating the article's info). Even so, my bottom line is usually to let Puerto Rican stand without "American" before it, unless the person seems based in US locations outside of Puerto Rico, or to be notable in relations to their US military service.
_ _ W/ Jose Basora, i've no doubt "New York" is too much detail for LoPbN (tho i assume it's important for his bio article -- esp'ly if Nuyorican identity is important about him). My doubts lie with whether and how to include "Puerto Rican" in the LoPbN entry. As i say, i rule out treating "Puerto Rican" like his nat'ty on LoPbN, bcz to the extent that "American" doesn't serve well, he seems more like at most an expatriate Puerto Rican than an unqualified Puerto Rican. And i think "American Puerto Rican" suggests Puerto Rican-born, which i see is not the case for him. Actually, i think if the one-word "Puertorican" were accepted English, i'd go for "American Puertorican-descended" without reservation. I'm more concerned in this case with the length than the level of detail; as it is (just one character longer, but, IMO more significantly, nevertheless a word longer), for me "American Puerto Rican-descended" is slightly uncomfortably long. I'll be interested in your take, esp'ly as to how the specifics of his relation to Puerto Rico affect your view.
--Jerzy•t 01:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
(I'm embarrassed, on going to effect that change, to realize i wrote so much assuming a mistaken recollection of "New York" rather than "New York born"! Fortunately, it doesn't change the thrust of what i wrote. [blush]

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".
The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Hey Antonio, I was just wondering how you were doing. I've been incredibly busy lately, but I managed to find time to rewrite one article on the Chicano project's expansion list, and I finally translated another. But since Spanish is my second language, I'm sure it could use some finessing.
Its funny, you know? They really discourage "activism" on Wikipedia, but I don't see as how what we do is anything but! It may not be overt, but I think that simply providing the information is a way to, as you say, combat stereotypes. But it also provides a resource for people who are activists, (political, social or otherwise), because information and education are our best weapons in the struggle. I think it was Steve Biko who said, "Your mind is a weapon. Sharpen it!" (or something to that effect).
Anyways, I think you, your pop, and Joel have been doing a great job on the PR wikiproject. Whatever task you pick up next, let me know and I'll see if I can help.

[edit] Látigo Coggi
Dear Martin,
Thank you for your message and for your many articles about Argentina. I particularly liked the one about Juan Martín "Látigo" Coggi, who was one of our last great champions. It's sad to say that box is declining in Argentina (and probably also in the whole world). You may add the following issue in the article (I leave you the task since your English seems to be better than mine): the fights with Eder González, particularly the first one (Tucumán, 12/17/1993), which was very controversial. Coggi was clearly dominating the fight, but for some reason, may be excessive confidence, he neglected his defence for a second and suffered a terrible knock down. The referee clearly helped him to stand up after a very slow count. Coggi was groggy and suffered a harsh punishment during the following rounds, but managed to slowly recover his strength round by round and eventually knocked González out on the 7th (it was actually a TKO). Despite the questionable action of the referee (depriving González of the title and at the same time exposing an almost unconscious Coggi to serious harm), that fight was one of the many samples of Coggi's incredible recovering skills, which makes some of his fights unforgettable. After such a polemic decision, a new bout was mandatory, so Eder González and Látigo fought again on 03/18/1994 at MGM Grand, Las Vegas. Then, Coggi won by TKO in the 3rd round. --Filius Rosadis 17:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Locomotora Castro and Víctor Galíndez
You did a very good job also with Locomotora Castro and I feel a bit ashamed because the Spanish Wikipedia doesn't have any entries about those boxers, and only a stub about Félix Trinidad.
You've also created Víctor Galíndez! That's certainly one of our old times heroes. His fight with Richie Kates (Johannesburg, South Africa, 5/22/1976) was an incredible battle. Galíndez was intensely bleeding, so he had to use the referee's shirt as a towel to clean the blood. The shirt became red and is now in a museum. Galíndez won by K.O. in the 15th round (remember those old 15 rounds fights?).
As for Castro-Jackson, I saw it on TV and I remember Jackson waking up and trying to find out what the hell had happened just some seconds before. I really didn't remember Jackson getting up after that famous right hand to restart the fight. Anyway, although Castro was bleeding and was being overwhelmingly defeated by Johnson, he simulated he was about to fall, he pretended he was almost K.O., and then shot when nobody expected.
Because of such tricks, Locomotora used to be also nicknamed "Roña Castro" from time to time, but some journalists consider that pet name derogatory and avoid it. In this case roña is a slang meaning something like dirty trick.
Castro is as strong and hard as a rock, but he has never been capable of disciplined, systematic training.
Box is violent? Off course it is. It's a fight after all. But football (or soccer, as it's called in America) has caused much more casualties, including a war. And Monzón, who was a violent man outside the ring, was completely under control during all his fights; box made him a respected and admired champion whilst the rest of his life drove him to prison and death.
Hasta pronto.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Julio Cesar Chavez.JPG
 |
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Julio Cesar Chavez.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 00:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blowouts
Man I asked my buddy to DVR that for me...but having no HBO myself, I missed it. I know that it was filmed on location and they asked a lot of raza, locals, and students etc. to participate. One of my compas came out as an extra. It's been a redlink on the template for too long, but alas....
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner Toño--I know you had some questions for me. I think that anyone who participated in the Mexican American War is definitely part of the history of Mexican Americans and Chicanos. That's pretty cool that you found un tocallo histórico. Do Puerto Ricans use that word tocallo?
About founding an organization, I really wouldn't even know where to begin. My guess is that all you would have to is make a page, get some people interested, and make some templates. If you decide it's a good idea, let me know, and I'll help however I can.

[edit] Great initiative
Dear Antoinio,
It sounds like a great initiative. However, I don't think that I would be the right person to include. I was only born in Brazil - to Danish parents - and within a couple of years moved with them a number of different countires. Bascially, I have only my love for Brazil, no adquate knowledge write or exhange any articles. Best wishes, Varga Mila 10:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "the Rat"
Hey Antonio, I've got a boxer for you to look into when you get a chance. His name is Raúl "the Rat" Macías, and he was world bantamweight champion in 1957. He was a Mexican from the Tepito barrio. He lost the title to Alphonse Halimi, a French fighter. Three years later Mexico sought to reclaim the title through the efforts of José "Tapato" Becerra, who knocked Halimi out in the ninth round.
Sometimes I like writing articles that I know nothing about. But this time, I thought I'd leave it in the hands of an expert 8).
Oh and I was wondering, is there a List of bantamweight champions anywhere? Just curious...

[edit] Marchas
No, no he podido asistir ningunas de las manifestaciones, pero pienso en irme el lunes. I think it's great that you're going to support, because technically Puerto Ricans aren't even immigrants! (Although they were treated that way when they first started moving here.) My political science professor was telling me that he was impressed by the marches, but he was afraid that Latinos would "sell out", like he says white immigrant groups did, after they get their rights, and forget that all these movements are really about human rights. That is, that we would quit fighting. You my friend are proof to the contrary. I think you should definitely represent la bandera de tu país and show Latin Unity. And make sure the Phoenix march is in 2006 U.S. immigrant rights protests!
PAZ,
Rockero

Hey Antonio, just thought I'd let you know about the one protest I managed to attend. It was a march for Emiliano Zapata this past Sunday in East L.A. It was low-key, but exciting at the same time. I blog about it here if you desire to read about it...btw have you told the other members of the Chicano wikiproject about the association? They may be interested...--Rockero 22:17, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Association
Dear Antonio, thanks for your suggestion of joining the association. I see that as a good idea, may be an utopia, but a good idea at the end. The point is to be able to contribute in a different way (a plus) to the normal way Hispanic/Ibero-Americans wikipedians do. They move themselves by their own interests (otherwise, the cost of contributing would outweight the satisfaction they get by doing so). So the idea of a community portal sounds good in the sense that can put in contact Hispanic wikipedians with similar interests. Think on topics related to history, wars, economy, migrations, ideology and politics, soccer, religion and folklore, and so on. Let me know how I can help you with that topic. --Poldavo 19:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I nominated this at {{prod}}. I hope you won't take it personally. It has been on cleanup since April 2005. I found no google references for this term. The article is an incomplete list of what appear to me to be very different political situations ranging from Russia to Puerto Rico. There is already an article about separatism that lists many of these movements. If you disagree, please help me understand why, I'd be interested to learn more. If you agree, that's great too.

In case you hadn't noticed, Floriberta Jiménez Torres has been proposed for deletion. NickelShoe (Talk) 16:00, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- WP:PROD is a discussion-less process. You should put a comment on the article's talk page to explain why you think the article should be kept (since you didn't use an edit summary), but removing the prod notice is the actual way of contesting the deletion. But I certainly wouldn't mark the removal of a deletion notice as a minor edit. NickelShoe (Talk) 20:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification
Dear Antonio, thank you for your nice message in my discussion page. Just to give to you some useful suggestion in the discussion between Hispanic and Latin American for including both Spaniards and Brazilians in the same token. We here in Spain use the term "Iberoamericano/a" or "Iberoamérica" (I suppose can be tranfered to English like "Iber American" & "Iberoamerica", or something like that). In this form, we include all the American lands that share the same Iberian cultural origins, meaning Iberian as belonging to the Iberian peninsula (it includes Portugal and Spain). -Poldavo 09:06, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

[edit] List of Puerto Ricans
One of the main concerns about the "list" is that it is getting out of control and that many names of people who have only had their "15 minutes of fame" or simply are non-notables are being added. I propose that we set up guidelines as to who should be admitted with a clear definition as to the terms "notable" and "fame". I am calling upon the parties interested to express their opinion and to help develope these guidelines. I believe that after we take a vote and reach a censensus, said guidelines should be followed and posted either on the article or the articles talk page. We need your help.

Regarding your comments made here, Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --Ragib 15:27, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Ragib here, of course. If some of the things said by the ones who want to delete the page sound offensive to you, please say so, and why - do not attack the people themselves. That is not the way we do it on Wikipedia. For starters, you could delete the words "by a racist? Wikipedia is not a personal webpage for racists.", or strike them out by editing your own text and putting <s> and </s> at the start and the end of the passage concerned. Yes, you are entitled to say that if the tango list gets deleted, List of MLB players should then be deleted as well. I would second that wholeheartedly by the way.--Pan Gerwazy 00:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
-
- I understand your feelings, but while voting, it is better to use politely formulated arguments and to direct them at the people concerned. The proposer was definitely not a racist. I know the discussion was difficult to follow, precisely because one opposer used a completely opposite argument compared to the proposer (oh, and I am sure that other guy was not a racist too).
-
- In my view (I am not a Latino, I am just your typical European person who likes flamenco and songs by Pyotr Leshchenko) (I actually danced tango for three hours today at the Ghent Feesten), the words "a very obscure topic" were NOT racist, but bordering on "chauvinist" and "ethnocentric". What you wrote on my talk page is a good explanation of why in your eyes, the conversation at that point came over as "racist". OK, your comment IS long (too long for putting next to your vote - and in any case your vote is primarily directed at the proposer), but since the author of "a very obscure topic" also took a lot of text in his comment, you would have had every right to put all that as comment under his text. Salu2 - take care!--Pan Gerwazy 20:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
