Caribbean H.Q./ Archive 5, there are a lot of Dragon Ball-related redirects that should be deleted:
Found more possibly useless redirects:
I filed a report of suspected sockpuppetry here: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Rothchild. Since you're familiar with the previous incident involving Rothchild and blocked him/her indefinitely, I thought you should know.
Now I see the user has reported ME for suspected sockpuppetry. This is rich! I hope this person gets banned for good.-- Skylights76 ( talk) 07:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Update: I had a longish stretch of time to work on Félix Trinidad, and I think I'll stop now until and unless you're ready for me to do more work after the scheduled bout is over.
The article remains somewhat rough in spots, but there have been a number of corrections to grammar and spelling. I likely could do more, but we've probably reached the point of diminishing returns for now, especially since I have limited knowledge of boxing. I'll wait and see how the upcoming event draws in new editor input and content (I just noticed an advertisement for the upcoming bout on television yesterday, never would have noticed before working on this). I hope your road to a future GA article is a smooth one. (copied to your talk page) -- Michael Devore ( talk) 01:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Caribbean.
I happen to be the mother of Miguel´s youngest child. As indicated in the guidelines for the publication of information on this site the information in question should be correct and verifiable. According to our daughter´s birth certificate she was born in November 2007, not February. I am merely correcting the information published so that it reflects correct information according to the only document that has any legal validity to confirm our daughter´s date of birth in order to ensure that the information published adheres to Wiki´s policy of Correct and Verifiable information.
I´ve the information on COI and it doesn´t apply. There should be no problem with correcting false information.
I can forward a copy of our daughter´s birth certificate so that you can avoid publishing misleading information.
In regards to the inforamtion on the Order that was dismissed due to the lack of grounds to sustain it and perjury, eliminating this information in fact is beneficial for Miguel, afterall, this type of information serves no purpose that enhances his profile. I believe that the information published should reflect his victories in his career and the highlights of his life. An act of perjury is not exactly favorable for anyone.
As for the use of the term illegitimate, I am not sure what your knowledge is regarding our legislation and constitution, but under either, that term is not valid. In fact it has been eliminated all together under our legal system. Any child that, regardless of the circumstances of his or her birth is recognized by his or her father is a legitimate child. To describe it or communicate it in any other way goes against what our legal system has established.
If information about third parties, who have a right to their privacy, is published it should at the very least be truthful and correct.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Hopefully this will provide you with some insight as to what you should take into consideration when publishing information about private citizens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acrlaw ( talk • contribs) 16:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi Caribbean,
I can scan the birth certificate and forward it to you if there is a way to e-mail it to you directly. I have no issues with sharing the information with you but I would prefer not to upload it on your discussion board since it is only FYI.
I have a pretty good collection of the highlight reviews for Zab's fights as well as earlier ones. Is that information that I would forward to you as well to upload?
The issue with the court order is that it was a big hit with the headlines when it should not have been such a public ordeal. It was not a positive situation for either of us and the outcome was minimized because I chose not to pursue any further action and press charges for perjury which is a criminal act in Puerto Rico. Truth be told, we will always maintain a relationship through our daughter and pursuing something that would affect him adversely at that level is something I wasn’t comfortable with.
That’s why I feel that publishing this situation on a page that should provide information on his career and shed light on his success, serves no real purpose, for anyone. Just because it made the headlines doesn’t mean it’s worth repeating, particularly when the story behind it is very different from the biased opinion that was presented.
Let me know where I can forward the information as soon as possible. I would like to have information corrected.
And feel free to contact me if you have any questions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acrlaw ( talk • contribs) 19:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, As Bluemarine is less likely to calmly explain this...he has had an another editor, User:Wjhonson, build an off-wiki look-alike page with much more detail including basic info like birthdate, legal names, address, parents name which would be quite useful to an identity theft pro. As that site is not wikipedia there is likely little wikipedia can do. Indeed most links to that site have been removed but for your info you can see it here. Perhaps Matt is truly confused that the two sites are related but that wikipedia in no way controls the other. Again I would exercise caution but if nothing else there's little harm in offering good resources for identity theft victims which Matt has claimed he has been before.

Hey mi hermano, Como estas? I see that you added some great stuff to the Cofresi article. If it were someone else, I would reverted it because of lack of references, but since it is you my trusted friend I just wanted to remind you to not forget to provide the references before someone else comes along and tags the article. So, como estan las cosas adonde tu vives? Tony the Marine ( talk) 19:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
A lot of times when I write articles about our great military figures whose contributions have been omitted by our history books (including the U.S. history books), the family members get in touch with me (to thank me) and I end up making friends with them. You should see all of the stuff that I receive in the mail, like official documents and such. The Marxuach family has been in constent contact with me and I have been able to do what I have done with Teofilo's bio, but also with the 65th Infantry article which I wrote.
Now get this, the family has in their possession the casing of the shell that was fired by Teofilo (I placed the image in his bio). This is a one of a kind historical item that I believe Puerto Rico should have in a museum. I am working on that.
In regard to your question, if I am working to bring the artiucle to GA status. No, I am not interested in having any of the articles which I have worked on or created to be placed for FAC, FLC nor GAC. Of course I will bring my articles to high standards but, I am not going to deal with the racist and Anti-Hispanics bigots that sometime vote in those forums. Have you seen my latest work? It is Hispanics in the United States Marine Corps, I could nominate that one, but I will not. Tony the Marine ( talk) 23:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of User:VigilancePrime/Doc:SqueakBox. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
I'm somewhat concerned about the closure of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:VigilancePrime/Doc:SqueakBox. I deliberately hung back from commenting on the MfD as I've had similar issues with the same editor. Is there a way that an editor can gather diffs and organize information for later use at an RFC/RfArb if the information points to that as the direction to take? I can see a page like the one deleted being used for just such a purpose. I don't know that VP was specifically using the page in such a responsible way, but I don't think that any page like that would be deletable on sight. I'd like you to reconsider your closure, especially considering the run of opinions at the MfD. I see merit in both arguments, so I can understand if you don't. I'd just like you to mull it over. -- SSB ohio 02:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

You have helped make the article look really good. I added the origins of the Cofresi surname. Now get this, the Schooner "Grampus" which captured Roberto was lost at sea with all hands in 1843. Now I call that poetic justice. I bet that Cofresi's spirit must have laughed. Tony the Marine ( talk) 07:15, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be more prudent to indeed prove those clips violate copyright restrictions before you remove them ? It seems illogical to ban all youtube videos because sometimes the site hosts ones which violate copyright. Furthermore I believe the clips in question would be covered by the Fair Use Doctrine as well. Thus I am restoring them until it is evident that indeed they violate copyright laws - which I doubt as they were broadcast over Public Cuban television 50 years ago --TR 00:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
You haven't provided any evidence of them being in violation of copyright. All you have stated is that Youtube sometimes violates copyright laws ... well ok ... sometimes libraries do as well ... but you don't throw the proverbial baby out the with the bath water. You have not shown these clips in question violate a copyright. And I would contend the burden is for you to do so in order to justify their deletion.

I provided new links, sourcing, and am using the brief excerpt rationale of the fair use rule. Similar to how someone would quote a copyrighted book and provide the source --- I am proviing the source and providing a small excerpt under the fair use doctrine as it applies to the topic area. --TR 00:36, 7 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding

Also in order to be in violation of copyright it has to be shown that I am Competing With the Source You're I am copying From. Without consent, you ordinarily cannot use another person's protected expression in a way that impairs (or even potentially impairs) the market for his or her work. Providing a 20 second clip from an hour long movie does not do that ... and if anything provides publicity for the film in question. --TR 00:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding

Moreover, for instance Many publishers require their authors to obtain permission from an author to quote more then a specified number of words, ranging from about 100 to 1000 words. The rationale being that you ae taking a large amount of material. Well here I am using 20 second clips of an hour long documentary. Thus I would say it is equivalent to citing a paragraph of a full book. --TR 00:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding

Your rewording of it works better. It does belong with the info about the Hall of Fame induction, as it's part of the same story. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 23:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Someone said, after the comment about winning the MVP, that he was the first Hispanic to achieve "both honors". Whatever that means. Do they mean the Hall of Fame as the other one? That didn't happen in 1966, though. Maybe I'm missing something. It's early. However, Zoilo Versalles won the MVP the year before, although I don't think he's in the Hall. However, Ted Williams was half-Mexican by ancestry. Does he count? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 13:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I know that. At least I noticed it when I previewed the page but I was thinking about doing something to have it added. Isn't there a way to add the field to the infobox templates? I mean, 'nationality' should appear in all infoboxes about people... The general "People" infobox does have it and I cannot think of a reason why this shouldn't be consistent... there should be an inheritance scheme or something for all infoboxes derived from a "People" perspective... How can this be proposed to Wikipedia? RayLast ( talk) 14:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
El Vate is the way that people, predominantly populares, referred to Muñoz Marín in the 1950's and 1960's as a sign of respect. While I don't know the etymology of the word "Vate", any Puerto Rican over the age of 55 (whbich I am not!) can vouch for that fact. When I have a chance, I'll check Héctor Luis Acevedo's recent bio's of Jesús T. Piñero and Luis Negrón López to see if he makes any reference to this title.

Hey Caribbean; first off, excellent pic of Viejo San Juan. Next, regardng your question on the Shaggy Flores page, I looked at the page's history and it was created by Shaggy Flores. The talk page provides the following, in pertinent part: "You can go to www.shaggyflores.com for references to this article. Article was posted by the actual person who the article is about. Please remove from deletion status as the information provided is correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.160.135.249 (talk • contribs)." 76.160.135.249 is Shaggy Flores, and he created his own web page. He is not notable and the page reads like an autobiography and has pics of him and his buddies. It also includes references to what he likes and what sort of education he is pursuing at the moment. I re-nominated it for deletion but was shot down by another editor so I am not going to pursue it. Descarado is an accurate word for this. -- Noopinonada ( talk) 01:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, "El Boricuazo" is a brillant guy and what I like about him is that he thinks like us. He knows about how important it is that we educate our people in regard to the positive contributions which we have made to society. I am absolutely sure that he knows about our project. Remember, for years we have been uncovering relatively unknown facts about our people and our island and posting it in Wikipedia and it is only common sense that he would feed off of us as we can also feed off of him. One example is the information that he posted in his book about the Boricuas in NASA. That is the same information that I had posted some years ago in the "Puerto Ricans in NASA" article: Puerto Ricans in NASA. However, I believe that it is important for people to know that El Boricuazo is not the only Puerto Rican educating the masses, that there are many more Boricuas, such as ourselves in Wikipeida with the same goal.

Here is something that is interesting. My son told me that Prof. Eddie Rio Mellado invented the 3-point shot that is common in the game of basketball. However, I couldn't find any reliable source to confirm this. Now, if this is true, that would mean that a "Boricua" invented something that revolutionized the game of basketball and Mellado deserves an article in Wikipedia. I do know that la Asociación de Jugadores de Baloncesto de Puerto Rico has a "Eddie Rios Mellado Award" which is annually presented to the player who makes the most 3-point shots. This I found out when I checked the R. de la C. 2461 de La Camara de Representantes de Puerto Rico: . R. de la C. 2462
Now, what I was wondering is if anyone in Puerto Rico could come up with some sources (newspapers, books, etc.) which would serve as a verifiable source, because like I said before, I think that Mellado deserves an article. Tony the Marine ( talk) 04:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I was pretty chuffed as I just got Emperor Penguin through FAC and the usually-extremely-hard-to-please Tony was happy about the prose, so I guess one could consider it a bit of a bird-template for other feathered critters. There's quite a bit of activity with several articles like Cattle Egret, American robin and European Robin as well as King Penguin being worked up and folks being pretty active and helpful. I write this as the tide has gone out eslewhere as wikiproject dinosaurs has gone into hibernation and I know from experience that writing with no-one else interested is much much harder, so if you do have some time, now would be cool to dump facts into Puerto Rican Amazon, but don't relegate real-life stuff :) Cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 05:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I have direct contact with Jesús Omar Rivera and am able to contact him on anything related to Wikipedia. I have already expressed our desire to populate Wikipedia with information about Puerto Rico to him and he seems excited about the project. I'm sure he's willing to help in any way he can. The little catch is that he is really busy and we might need to organize a list of questions for him or something. I started his article, which he knows about and told me to call him and he'll provide any additional information we may need.

The article remains somewhat rough in spots, but there have been a number of corrections to grammar and spelling. I likely could do more, but we've probably reached the point of diminishing returns for now, especially since I have limited knowledge of boxing. I'll wait and see how the upcoming event draws in new editor input and content (I just noticed an advertisement for the upcoming bout on television yesterday, never would have noticed before working on this).

Hi Caribbean.
I happen to be the mother of Miguel´s youngest child. As indicated in the guidelines for the publication of information on this site the information in question should be correct and verifiable. According to our daughter´s birth certificate she was born in November 2007, not February. I am merely correcting the information published so that it reflects correct information according to the only document that has any legal validity to confirm our daughter´s date of birth in order to ensure that the information published adheres to Wiki´s policy of Correct and Verifiable information.
I´ve the information on COI and it doesn´t apply. There should be no problem with correcting false information.
I can forward a copy of our daughter´s birth certificate so that you can avoid publishing misleading information.
In regards to the inforamtion on the Order that was dismissed due to the lack of grounds to sustain it and perjury, eliminating this information in fact is beneficial for Miguel, afterall, this type of information serves no purpose that enhances his profile. I believe that the information published should reflect his victories in his career and the highlights of his life. An act of perjury is not exactly favorable for anyone.
As for the use of the term illegitimate, I am not sure what your knowledge is regarding our legislation and constitution, but under either, that term is not valid. In fact it has been eliminated all together under our legal system. Any child that, regardless of the circumstances of his or her birth is recognized by his or her father is a legitimate child. To describe it or communicate it in any other way goes against what our legal system has established.
If information about third parties, who have a right to their privacy, is published it should at the very least be truthful and correct.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Hopefully this will provide you with some insight as to what you should take into consideration when publishing information about private citizens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acrlaw ( talk • contribs) 16:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi Caribbean,
I can scan the birth certificate and forward it to you if there is a way to e-mail it to you directly. I have no issues with sharing the information with you but I would prefer not to upload it on your discussion board since it is only FYI.
I have a pretty good collection of the highlight reviews for Zab's fights as well as earlier ones. Is that information that I would forward to you as well to upload?
The issue with the court order is that it was a big hit with the headlines when it should not have been such a public ordeal. It was not a positive situation for either of us and the outcome was minimized because I chose not to pursue any further action and press charges for perjury which is a criminal act in Puerto Rico. Truth be told, we will always maintain a relationship through our daughter and pursuing something that would affect him adversely at that level is something I wasn’t comfortable with.
That’s why I feel that publishing this situation on a page that should provide information on his career and shed light on his success, serves no real purpose, for anyone. Just because it made the headlines doesn’t mean it’s worth repeating, particularly when the story behind it is very different from the biased opinion that was presented.
Let me know where I can forward the information as soon as possible. I would like to have information corrected.
And feel free to contact me if you have any questions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acrlaw ( talk • contribs) 19:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, As Bluemarine is less likely to calmly explain this...he has had an another editor, User:Wjhonson, build an off-wiki look-alike page with much more detail including basic info like birthdate, legal names, address, parents name which would be quite useful to an identity theft pro. As that site is not wikipedia there is likely little wikipedia can do. Indeed most links to that site have been removed but for your info you can see it here. Perhaps Matt is truly confused that the two sites are related but that wikipedia in no way controls the other. Again I would exercise caution but if nothing else there's little harm in offering good resources for identity theft victims which Matt has claimed he has been before.

A lot of times when I write articles about our great military figures whose contributions have been omitted by our history books (including the U.S. history books), the family members get in touch with me (to thank me) and I end up making friends with them. You should see all of the stuff that I receive in the mail, like official documents and such. The Marxuach family has been in constent contact with me and I have been able to do what I have done with Teofilo's bio, but also with the 65th Infantry article which I wrote.
Now get this, the family has in their possession the casing of the shell that was fired by Teofilo (I placed the image in his bio). This is a one of a kind historical item that I believe Puerto Rico should have in a museum. I am working on that.
In regard to your question, if I am working to bring the artiucle to GA status. No, I am not interested in having any of the articles which I have worked on or created to be placed for FAC, FLC nor GAC. Of course I will bring my articles to high standards but, I am not going to deal with the racist and Anti-Hispanics bigots that sometime vote in those forums. Have you seen my latest work?

An editor has asked for a deletion review of User:VigilancePrime/Doc:SqueakBox. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
I'm somewhat concerned about the closure of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:VigilancePrime/Doc:SqueakBox. I deliberately hung back from commenting on the MfD as I've had similar issues with the same editor. Is there a way that an editor can gather diffs and organize information for later use at an RFC/RfArb if the information points to that as the direction to take? I can see a page like the one deleted being used for just such a purpose. I don't know that VP was specifically using the page in such a responsible way, but I don't think that any page like that would be deletable on sight. I'd like you to reconsider your closure, especially considering the run of opinions at the MfD. I see merit in both arguments, so I can understand if you don't. I'd just like you to mull it over. -- SSB ohio 02:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be more prudent to indeed prove those clips violate copyright restrictions before you remove them ? It seems illogical to ban all youtube videos because sometimes the site hosts ones which violate copyright. Furthermore I believe the clips in question would be covered by the Fair Use Doctrine as well. Thus I am restoring them until it is evident that indeed they violate copyright laws - which I doubt as they were broadcast over Public Cuban television 50 years ago --TR 00:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I provided new links, sourcing, and am using the brief excerpt rationale of the fair use rule. Similar to how someone would quote a copyrighted book and provide the source --- I am proviing the source and providing a small excerpt under the fair use doctrine as it applies to the topic area. --TR 00:36, 7 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding

Also in order to be in violation of copyright it has to be shown that I am Competing With the Source You're I am copying From. Without consent, you ordinarily cannot use another person's protected expression in a way that impairs (or even potentially impairs) the market for his or her work. Providing a 20 second clip from an hour long movie does not do that ... and if anything provides publicity for the film in question. --TR 00:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding

Moreover, for instance Many publishers require their authors to obtain permission from an author to quote more then a specified number of words, ranging from about 100 to 1000 words. The rationale being that you ae taking a large amount of material. Well here I am using 20 second clips of an hour long documentary. Thus I would say it is equivalent to citing a paragraph of a full book. --TR 00:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding

Your rewording of it works better. It does belong with the info about the Hall of Fame induction, as it's part of the same story. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 23:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Someone said, after the comment about winning the MVP, that he was the first Hispanic to achieve "both honors". Whatever that means. Do they mean the Hall of Fame as the other one? That didn't happen in 1966, though. Maybe I'm missing something. It's early. However, Zoilo Versalles won the MVP the year before, although I don't think he's in the Hall. However, Ted Williams was half-Mexican by ancestry. Does he count? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 13:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I know that. At least I noticed it when I previewed the page but I was thinking about doing something to have it added. Isn't there a way to add the field to the infobox templates? I mean, 'nationality' should appear in all infoboxes about people... The general "People" infobox does have it and I cannot think of a reason why this shouldn't be consistent... there should be an inheritance scheme or something for all infoboxes derived from a "People" perspective...

El Vate is the way that people, predominantly populares, referred to Muñoz Marín in the 1950's and 1960's as a sign of respect. While I don't know the etymology of the word "Vate", any Puerto Rican over the age of 55 (whbich I am not!) can vouch for that fact. When I have a chance, I'll check Héctor Luis Acevedo's recent bio's of Jesús T. Piñero and Luis Negrón López to see if he makes any reference to this title.

Yes, "El Boricuazo" is a brillant guy and what I like about him is that he thinks like us. He knows about how important it is that we educate our people in regard to the positive contributions which we have made to society. I am absolutely sure that he knows about our project. Remember, for years we have been uncovering relatively unknown facts about our people and our island and posting it in Wikipedia and it is only common sense that he would feed off of us as we can also feed off of him. One example is the information that he posted in his book about the Boricuas in NASA. That is the same information that I had posted some years ago in the "Puerto Ricans in NASA" article: Puerto Ricans in NASA. However, I believe that it is important for people to know that El Boricuazo is not the only Puerto Rican educating the masses, that there are many more Boricuas, such as ourselves in Wikipeida with the same goal.

Here is something that is interesting. My son told me that Prof. Eddie Rio Mellado invented the 3-point shot that is common in the game of basketball. However, I couldn't find any reliable source to confirm this. Now, if this is true, that would mean that a "Boricua" invented something that revolutionized the game of basketball and Mellado deserves an article in Wikipedia. I do know that la Asociación de Jugadores de Baloncesto de Puerto Rico has a "Eddie Rios Mellado Award" which is annually presented to the player who makes the most 3-point shots. This I found out when I checked the R. de la C. 2461 de La Camara de Representantes de Puerto Rico: . R. de la C. 2462
Now, what I was wondering is if anyone in Puerto Rico could come up with some sources (newspapers, books, etc.) which would serve as a verifiable source, because like I said before, I think that Mellado deserves an article. Tony the Marine ( talk) 04:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm back. I was in Atlanta, and I didn't have a chance to hit the bars. I do love Piña Coladas, though. So, how is everything? Sexy Sea Bass 22:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
My vacation was nice. It was a typical vacation, nice hotel, lots of relaxation, good food. Like I said, no bars, but it was still nice. For some reason there were lots of high school kids (hundreds if not thousands) in weird shirts walking around in the afternoons, but that's the only thing of note. I took an extra long vacation due to missing one earlier this year. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass 01:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Must have, I don't know what was going on. The only word to describe it is weird. Sexy Sea Bass 02:01, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I am giving you this award because to me, it sometimes seems like you are not recognized as much as you should be for all of your hard work and dedication to Wikipedia. You are one of Wikipedia's top admin's and you should be recognized for it! Happy Editing! iMat thew 20 08 20:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC) | ||

Honestly, I mainly did it to see what specifically could be done to improve it, if it didn't pass; I wanted to get specifics on what could make it better. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 21:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
