If I'm not mistaken, El Tiempo was NOT the first bilingual paper in Puerto Rico. There was a minor paper called "La Bandera Americana" in Mayagüez that was bilingual (at least sometimes) and was printed as early as 1899. Any further proof? Demf 03:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
He became known as the "Father of the Statehood for Puerto Rico" movement.
Because of the quote marks, this reads as "[Barbosa] became known as a movement." My edit seeks to remedy this. ForDorothy 10:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I think these two articles should be merged. The post office article probably won't be expanded anymore than it already is. Also, the reference to the Bill's use of Wikipedia material is more appropriate in the talk page. I know there's a template for that around here somewhere. - Mtmelendez ( Talk| UB| Home) 03:11, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
It's really unusual to have so much legislative history in the content of a Recognitions Section, which is usually devoted to the result. Recommend putting the following in a Note, if editors want to keep it:- <<The Act was introduced by the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico to the United States House of Representatives Luis Fortuño on July 26, 2005. It was approved by the House of Representatives on March 28, 2006 and the Senate on July 20, 2006. [1] [2] [3]
Also, it does not seem appropriate to use article space for content to show that Wikipedia has influence, as in the following. That's great for the editor, but is not so related to Barbosa himself: <<The "Background" section of the Congressional Record contained a verbatim copy of the biography of Barbosa as hosted and published on Wikipedia. [4] Said version of Barbosa's biography was edited and posted on March 25, 2006. [5] [1] [2] [3]

What an impressive man! I added more to the Lead to highlight his political positions, which are generally given priority in bio articles of this type. Also showed the influence of his serving in the Cabinet for so long in these early years of the US administration. He had many firsts in his life - an inspiration.

The Lead says that he was a sociologist, but I don't see anything in the content/cites of the main article that supports that. Can someone help me with that? Thanks. Parkwells ( talk) 00:16, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
