[edit] Conventions

• In biographies, identify the subject as either a Puerto Rican, whether born in the island or not. It shall be noted that most people of Puerto Rican descent identify themselves as full Puerto Ricans, regardless of place of birth.
• Accentuation: In biographies, use accents if the subject him/herself used them in when spelling their name.
• Spanish words/orgs with Spanish names: Should be italicized and followed by an English translation and approximation the first time they appear in a article.

[edit] Goals

1. To create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans.
2. To highlight Puerto Rico's relationships and/or bringings to the rest of the world.
3. To standardize articles on Puerto Rico or Puerto Rican subjects. They should have similar layouts, formatting, etev.
4. To include all relevant information, making especially certain to include the voices of children, women, the poor, people of all races, and basically all the rest of the Puerto Rican society (providing the info. is sourced, of course).
5. To standardize the use of Spanish-language terms, names, and translations into English across the series.
