The Nationalists in the 30s, and 40s were much larger in percentage. The main reason why the numbers were somewhat deflated was because the Nationalist Party used the Natioal flag as their party flag, which made it easy for many of the populace who were illiterate at the time. However, on the eve of the election a law was quickly pased to say that the Nationalist Party was not allowed to use that flag. Radio stations, who were mostly owned by segments not in favor of independence, refused them any airtime to annouce the change in party flags.
Munoz won by a landslide, because Albizu, his main opponent was jailed. -- 128.59.143.41 06:46, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
The name in Spanish (Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico) should translate to either "Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico" or "Puerto Rico Nationalist Party". The title and name used in this article, however, is "Puerto Rican Nationalist Party", which would be correct if the name in Spanish was Partido Nacionalista Puertorriqueño (Compare with Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño). Since the translation is incorrect, I propose moving the article to Puerto Rico Nationalist Party, with a redirect for the current title. Comments? Mercy11 ( talk) 17:58, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
Other events were happening than massacres - a US Senator supported a bill for independence in 1936, which was opposed by an influential Liberal leader of Puerto Rico. Truman, after the assassination attempt, still supported the drafting of a constitution for Puerto Rico and voting on it - it should be noted that 82% of the voters approved it. If such contextual facts are not included to present some larger idea of what was going on, this article appears too biased - only the list of Nationalist Party-identified outrages.

I posted this note several days ago, mostly for User:Parkwells' benefit, in the talk page of Puerto Rican Nationalist Party Revolts of the 1950s. In case Parkwells did not see it, I am posting most of it below.

This list is not exhaustive. Several of the above sources were cited in a number of the Puerto Rican history articles. I encourage any editor, particularly those who are not familiar with Puerto Rican history, to consult these sources before imposing major changes on articles that have been written collaboratively, by dozens of editors, over a period of several years.

I find it odd, Parkwells, that within the past 24 hours you made seven edits which added significant amounts of completely unsourced factual information to the Charles Herbert Allen article. That article had no citations and, after your seven edits, it STILL has no citations.
The entire article is completely unsourced.
I see no concern about this on the article's talk page, from you or anyone. In fact, the Charles Herbert Allen talk page is empty as of 12/25/2012.
This article (Puerto Rican Nationalist Party) had 30 citations before you ever interacted with it. Yet you quarrel with this article. The double standard is glaringly evident. Nelsondenis248 ( talk) 07:51, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Have put in this wording: <<After repression and the Rio Piedras massacre in October 1935, on December 12 of that year Albizu Campos vowed to avoid the electoral process while Puerto Rico was under United States control. In 1937 the Ponce massacre marked continuing agitation, and an independent commission said the police were guilty of a massacre.>> I was trying to learn more about this movement; the lead formerly said that after Rio de Piedras and Ponce massacres, Albizu Campos withdrew from electoral politics, but he announced withdrawal after the first and before that second event, according to the facts here.

The tone of this does not seem to fit the encyclopedia - "His business acumen improved" when he returned to the US; Allen's ...was in keeping with Roosevelt's doctrine for the Caribbean. If these are from sources, they should be credited. Also, "installed himself as president" of the sugar company - I think this position is selected or hired. People may have wanted him because they thought he could get them business, but individuals don't appoint themselves as presidents of independent companies.
