The article Latin nationalism clearly does not meet the nonsense criterion for speedy deletion. Please stop tagging it as such. Please be aware of our policies on disrupting Wikipedia to make a point and the three revert limit. Thanks, Gwernol 03:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
okay. i know that your edits are done with best interest in mind, but because Wikipedia editors, whether correctly or not, can't decide who is biracial or not. I.e. if we have a list of biracial/multiracial people, it needs to have people on it who have been described as bi/multi-racial in a reliable source. it is not up to us to decide what a race is, if we have a source, we should list it.

Ok if Cuban is not the race we should put on Wikipedia, then what can we put? Hispanic? I see Rosario listed as Afro-Cuban, what's the difference? Georgia Peachez 05:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Sam. I'm removing a section from the article History of the Dominican Republic, a change which you have previously reverted. I just wanted to let you know why the section is problematic. The United Nations did not exist in 1502 and could thus not have offered intervention, as stated in the removed section. Neither did Amnesty International, gas chambers and electric chairs. The section appears to be a hoax. Best, Afv2006 21:43, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Although I'd like to put more than one picture, the article isn't very long -as you know- ...one picture is sufficient for the space. I chose Alexis Bledel because she's the perfect example of a White Hispanic...although her parents are White Latin Americans (you know the rules)...she was born in Texas, and is a part of the American mainstream media...(just to let you know why I put her picture.) If you'd like to add a another go ahead...no one can stop you. Let's just keep the article clean looking. --Cali567 04:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand why you co-signed on such a obviously non-sensical term. Could you please explain to me the merits of this term. It seems to be a term that was just made up as there seems to be no history of it and cannot be authenticated. EDGARR 06:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
However it evades the fact that Latino's are Latin and the far more reasonable term is simply Latin Americans. Which is the term more commonly used as opposed to Latin American American. So I'll add that they can also be called Latin Americans as this is also the case.
I don't think that deleting "prominent people" in an article having to do with an ethnic group/s is really that huge of a deal. No one else has these people listed on the article's page...and about deleting the comparison...it's quite irritating to see the Philipines and Latin America compared and contrasted to one another so. Let each have it's own article...no comparisons...
This is your only warning. The next time you
vandalise
one drop rule, you will be
blocked from editing.

I would be interested to know if there is any current website or other on-line resource which talks about Spain's contribution to the American Revolution - do you know of any? Espana Viva 14:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I think the Latino article's quality has improved immensely. I hope future editors work within the articule's current framework and don't re-architect it without good cause. danedouard00 20:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Please do not use vandalism revert technology to promote your POV. This edit was a clearly a personal attack against me when I did a good faith edit. This is unacceptable, SqueakBox 16:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Spanish is spoken in Belize but that the fact that it isnt an official language and nor is it the primary language of the people should be added. I am happy to include Andorra and Belize but at the end along with the US. Surely you agree these 3 countries are NOT like Honduras, Guatemala, etc wehere Spanish is the dominanat language. Your edit makes it look as if Spanish is the language of Belize etc which I think is wrong. So I am not rejecting your sources personally, SqueakBox 23:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, i found a new source for the amount of Chinese in Nicaragua, but i am not to sure if it is reliable, i was hoping you would help me out and check it [1]. I have seen no definite source for the claim of 8,000 (all asians) but that webpage states there are 12,000, problem is that it only mentions the population of Chinese and not any other Asian ethnicity.

Dont make fake vandalism claims which you know to be false. Thankyou, SqueakBox 20:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
