[edit] This one's for you

Thanks so very much for supporting the recent FAC of Hispanic Americans in World War II. It was successful and Hispanic Americans in World War II has been promoted! I'm looking forward to hopefully getting Hispanic Americans in World War II on the front page. In the mean time, please accept this Beer as a token of my gratitude. Salud!

[edit] Harry Gamboa

Hi, Rockero. Can you plug me in to Harry Gamboa? He knows me. Mig 17:39, 19 September 2007 (UTC) Look me up!

Hi, thanks for responding to my request. Something tells me that Harry would never leave L.A. I contacted Pozole, as well -- perhaps he knows where Harry is. I will try the yellow pages. This is political business, BTW, not social. You may delete these messages once read. Regards and all da best Mig 04:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chicano Power?

So, you believe a non-existent race needs to get their priorites straight? Good thinking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.195.17 (talk) 00:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HI!

Long time no see-;) Back in Nov 2005, you were one of my first wiki encounters after I got my account, my archives and Yvonne Wanrow. I just ran across you again and wanted to say hi. I see you're still active. I'm now an admin since Feb 2007 and am a project lead coordinator. Rlevse 18:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zeitgeist the Movie

• I'm pretty sure you're aware that there's been repeated AfD's against this article existing. JuJube 01:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repost of Zeitgeist, the Movie

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Zeitgeist, the Movie, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Zeitgeist, the Movie was previously deleted as a result of an articles for deletion (or another XfD)

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Zeitgeist, the Movie, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Wikisource document

The Wikisource document s:Antonio_Villaraigosa by Antonio Villaraigosa is being considered for deletion, as it isn't immediately obvious that it is in the public domain. Cheers, John Vandenberg 05:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

Hello Rockero,

Thank you for your reply concerning my request to add Chicano Forums as an external link to the Chicano article page.

I sent this follow up reply but I am not sure you received it:

Hello,

Yes, that was me on La Causa KPFK radio. I've also debated Fox News' John Gibson on the radio. But, honestly, I usually turn down these offers because either myself or my good friends wind up getting death threats. I recently turned down an opportunity to discuss (modern) Chicano Nationalism on Univision's Aqui y Ahorra.

The reason for my email, however, is because I noticed in Wikipedia's Chicano page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicano where "External links" are listed is a website "Network Aztlan."

I truly believe Chicano Forums has a right to be listed there as well. We, Chicanoforums.com, are the main Chicano activist website on the internet. Our subscriber list trumps Network Aztlan by at least twice as many subscribers, possibly three times as many. I know this because I was a member of their group for a very short period of time.

ChicanoForums.com works very closely with ANSWERLA and LA.Indymedia. No other Chicano website on the internet compares to our activism.

As a result, I believe ChicanoForums.com should be listed as an External link in Wikipedia's Chicano page.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Maldonado Webmaster ChicanoForums.com

                               ###

Rockero,

Chicano Forums are discussion forums. We do not hold prejudice any article source. We believe the community members are able to make this judgment themselves. Each article posted is judged on its own merits. Not every article posted gets to stay on our website. We have a team of moderators which I personally oversee. blatant racism and homophobia have no place in our forums.

I honestly feel that the Chicano Internet community is suffering a disservice on the Wikipedia Chicano article page by not allowing them to judge ChicanoForums.com for themselves. Our website does an immense amount of good for our migrant brothers and sisters. After all, this is precisely how we Chicanos came to be in the first place.

I am a Zacatec indigena of Chichimec heritage on my mother's side. My father was from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. His grandparents were from Madrid, Spain. I am not a racist. I am not an anti-Semite nor am I homophobic. If you were to see my family, you would know that racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia are next to impossible since my family is made up of "all of the above."

Please reconsider adding ChicanoForums.com to Wikipedias "Chicano" article page "External Links."

Thank you,

Daniel Virtualchicano 13:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, Daniel. I've just been busy. I will look into it at the first opportunity.--Rockero 00:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your revert

Do not delete additions of long comments on articles - they are used to keep articles off Special:Shortpages so that patrollers there don't have to keep seeing the same articles over and over. Carlossuarez46 23:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Como podrás leer, tengo muchos problemas con la sintaxis y la gramática en inglés, pero ello no me desanima. Gracias por el tip del libro, lo buscaré. Checa mis contribuciones y ojalá me puedas ayudar! Thanks! Greetings form Mexico City, --Galaver (talk) 10:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Está bien, échale ganas. A eso servimos los que hablamos inglés. Tendré que fijarme en tus contribuciones después de los exámenes finales, pero si escribes sobre temas como el rock nacional, la lectura me dará mucho gusto.--Rockero (talk) 01:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help Requested:

Subject: “A major edit should be reviewed to confirm that it is consensual to all concerned editors”. Thank you for reviewing my first Wikipedia article on East Los Streetscapers. There is much to learn about Wikipedia and writing an article. I am a bit overwhelmed. I am requesting your help by re-visiting this article and reviewing the edits and tags that are continuously being placed on it by user named “Blow of Light”. These include deleting the “references” and threatening to “prod” the article, etc. I would very much appreciate your evaluation of these edits so a consensus can be achieved. I want to preserve the integrity the article.
I welcome qualified edits that will improve the article..
Thank you for your help.

[edit] Joan Little

I have added inline tags for the problems I see with the article, as well as a better summary on the talk page.

Whatever source you or anyone else used is of no particular interest to me. The article seems to be an unbalanced telling of the story in some places and needs citations from multiple reliable sources throughout. Mdsummermsw (talk) 14:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow, you've done a great job with your draft article! I wish you had put it up before I got started. I just couldn't believe he didn't have a WP article, and I thought it was important to get one started. I'm rather busy too, but I'll give some thought to transferring sections of your work to my minimal start. You really ought to get the credit for it, however. Dwalls (talk) 21:00, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
