Your edits are not helpful. Please stop. Note that you can discuss your concerns on the talk page. What you've done so far, in trampling over cited material goes against Wikipedia policies, as I've told you before. SamEV ( talk) 06:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

It is SamEv? and his friends or sockpuppets or whatever it is you call them, that have been pushing their POV. Anything anyone puts up has been systematical removed immediately by them. They have quoted a couple of paragraphs from an online dictionary which pushed their POV. When I quoted the rest of what the same author wrote, which put the meaning in context and gave it a balanced view, they kept reverting it without explanation. What was written in the new subject of racial equality was copied directly from the census bureau's documents and from the Office of management and budgets documents which state the official racial categories of Latinos. The is the official view of the U.S. census bureau and this is an important aspect and part of who latinos are. They remove these at will without explanation. I'm sure that there have been many complaints against these people as they attempt to monopolize the section and vandalizing what others write. I object to any indication that I was making any sort of "legal threat". What I want is a legal resolution which I believe finally is taking place here by you. I want someone of with legal authority to look into this matter of the way the term Latino is being written and also the way these people collaberately revert what others state, even official documents without impunity. Please respond so we can resolve this issue. Thank you....EdgarR EDGARR ( talk) 21:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Just work with us, all of us together. I'm not asking you to agree with me on everything or anything; just to adopt a different attitude and observe the rules. For instance, you need to stop - and it is a must, Edgar - inserting your own words into quotations. That's 100% unacceptable. And just discuss more, with an attitude of co-operation, rather than an adversarial one. Really, try it. If only as an experiment. SamEV ( talk) 05:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I am willing to cooperate SamEv, when I inserted the words I did not know it was a quote, when I followed the link and read the quote, I understood that while the author says that theoretically Latins in the U.S. can be called Latinos because most come from Latin America, he also states and balances that statement with saying that some of the people being referred to as Latino disagree on the term and many of these Latinos prefer the term Hispanic. Keeping just the part that says that (in that authors opinion)it is ok to call people a certain term, without putting forth the oposing view of the others is one sided and seems to be pushing pov. This is why I added the second part of the quote. On another note, Many people think (mistakingly) that Latinos are a seperate race! For me to clarify that what 'Latinos can be of any race' means is an important clarification. It is stated in the OMB that Latinos are of the same races that non latinos are, that they are either White, Black (African American race), Amerindian for Native American race, Asian or a combination of these. For instance a mestizo is a biracial person of White and Amerindian heritage. (Some people believe they actually are different terms). I believe these racial clarifications are of the upmost importance, and will help Latinos and non Latinos alike understand each other better. In his book Dr. Nathaniel Brandon (the father and authority of the self esteem/mental health movement) wrote that for the health of the mind and for proper functioning in a complex society "A clear sense of identity is necessary". A vague or confusing concept of self leads to an unhealthy life in many ways. I believe strongly that this information, even a seperate section if necessary if people (even Latinos) are going to understand what 'is' a Latino is. at least in racial terms. Anyway I'm glad you wrote and I'am looking toward to working and cooperating with you and your friend. I will even give you an email address if you'd like as these issues and articles are of the upmost important and affect the life of many. EDGARR ( talk) 06:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

FontesAugusto ( talk) 15:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)== THE POWER OF THE WORDS == It's interesting how the words can change of meaning.Hispanic was someone from spain. Now is someone form latin america. Its obvious that the spanish people and the white people in latin america wants to change the meaning of this word because in fact today this is very unfair.The governament of usa says that latinos or hispanics can be of any race.But the media shows to the world this word meaning a person with a dark skin sometimes looks like a native american or is only a person with a dark skin but never black and never white.I saw a movie called spanglish.A mexican woman goes to usa with her daughter.In the middle of the movie the mexican girl says something like that : "You are the best white person that i ever know".Something in the steriotype, very normal.But if you see the cast the mexican woman is in fact a spanish person so you think how a spanish white woman can work like a non white mexican?This is very ridiculous and almost funny , A NATIVE WHITE EUROPEAN WOMAN IS A NON WHITE MEXICAN but adam sandler a jewish man ,who looks like the jews native from middle east with a skin more dark than white, is a white american only because he is jewish?Hey americans you consider native people and black people from your country anglo only because he or she is american?No you probably consider them native american and black what they really are.But how a native or mixed (white and indian blood) mexican can be latino?the white mexican is but for him is boring to use this term because today means non white people.This discussion will never end and the media will always change the mean of the words.but whatever i didn't give up.ps:i sill don't know how to sign.Augusto Fontes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.17.99.243 ( talk) 00:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey EDGARR where are you from ?

Please do not undo other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in
Latino, or you may be
blocked from editing Wikipedia. The
three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for
edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the
3RR. Thank you.

Edgar, you should know that your first edit was a revert because it restored disputed material. The first edit is not a freebee, even if some days passed in between your last revert and that one. And partial reverts count, so you broke 3rr at 00:24. Just so you know. SamEV ( talk) 01:19, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
