[edit] Sukhdev Singh Jalwerha
Hi,
I removed {{db-bio}} from Sukhdev Singh Jalwerha because the article does assert notability. It asserts that the person is notable for being a former member of a group notable enough to have an article and for being related to a person notable enough to have an article.
Now, it may be that the person is in fact notable (i.e., that the assertion of notability is wrong). If so, it should probably be brought up on AfD.
"Technically" we can only speedy for articles that don't claim notability in any way, although speedies for things that aren't really notable do in fact happen all the time as we WP:IAR.
Anyway, just wanted to explain myself. If you want to put the speedy tag back on it or bring it to AfD, go ahead. Thanks for the work to catch articles that shouldn't be here. Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 19:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
No problem! I'm often overeager myself!
Just got Chris Streige (or whatever it was), btw, even though the vandal had come back and removed your tag. Grr. Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 19:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Did You Know, Puerto Rico?
Hey Amigo, I was thinking of adding a Did You Know? section to the article Puerto Rico. In that section we could post little known interesting facts about our island and our people. It would be serve as an educational tool that would motivate others to read about our island. An example of what I plan is this:
Did You Know?
- That the first shot fired by the United States in World Wae I was in Puerto Rico and not in Europe? It was fired by Lt. Teofilo Marxuach.
- That the first opera in history to be recorded was recorded by tenor Antonio Paoli?
- That Puerto Rico once had a President? His name was Francisco Ramirez Medina.
I want to consult with you and my other Boricua Panas. I would like to receive any input. Tu Amigo Tony the Marine 19:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for you response. You're right, it should remain as a "Did You Know?" instead of a "Trivia". I believe then that it should be stated as: "Did You Know? - These are interesting but, little known facts about Puerto Rico and its people". I will need your help as an overseer to keep random facts off the section. Remember, put Puerto Rico on your watchlist. Tu Amigo, Tony the Marine 01:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help
Here goes another anon who has no knowlege of how Wiki works and has posted a good article for deletion. It's about Norma Candal, please vote here: [[1]] and help fight this injustice. Thank you Tony the Marine 05:06, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for your message
Mi Hermano, you know that you are one of my main guys here and that we are a collision of Boricuas that must defend what is right here. You know what really bothers me sometimes? When people who have absolutely no knowledge of Puerto Rico or it's people start to edit those articles. For example, the Military history of Puerto Rico was voted a feature article and it even appeared in the Main Page. Then a year later you get some dumbnut that comes with something like this:
== Featured Article? ==
The article is sadly not one of the best Featured articles out there, and a prime subject for WP:FARC. I'm going to try to improve this article out some in the next few days. Something that could be done is by expanding the lead as it is currently too short. Also needs a copyedit. Thanks --Jaranda wat's sup 06:40, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
You see why we Boricuas must stand together and defend what is right? I'm glad to have befriended you and the others who stand up for what is right. Tu Amigo, Tony the Marine 04:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:WikiProject Puerto Rico Collaboration
Hi Smylere Snape. I have begun a collaboration of the month for the Puerto Rico Wikiproject. The collaboration is Accentuation. I have created a template and a subpage for it. The template can be found at the top of the project and the details for the collaboration can be accessed through the navigation template or by clicking here. Please tell me what you think about all this. Joelito 22:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Grito de Lares
We now have somebody who wishes to change the name of The Grito de Lares to Lares Outcry. Please express your opinion here: Talk:Grito de Lares (The Cry of Lares). Thank you. Tony the Marine 00:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[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 consensus, said guidelines should be followed and posted either on the article or the articles talk page. We need your help.

Feliz Navidad
O.K., so maybe you don't believe in Santa, but I still want to wish you and your loved ones a "Happy Holidays" and all of the happiness in the world and the best new year ever. Your friend, Tony the Marine 23:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Check this out
Check out this entery in the Portal:Puerto Rico/Did you know
"That Puerto Rico is not a country, but is a Commonwealth of the United States?" and
"That Puerto Rico has never been a country?"
I don't know, but that doesn't make any sense to me. What do you think? Tony the Marine 06:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
