It looks like you only have 20 more hours to find out! (And the odds are lookin' mighty good.) – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 01:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Twenty hours is a lot of time, I'll keep my fingers crossed. - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

RE:Puerto Rico

I agree with you. It needs some cleanup and referencing desperately. It also fails Criterion 1 (the article must be stable), as it is constantly attacked by vandals and under edit wars. I guess we'll have to wait some more time. I'll be checking with other editors to see what they think. Regarding the list proposal, I think it would be a good idea, but we'll need a lot of sources. I'll see what I can find on the Web and get back to you. BTW, only a few minutes left before you become an admin :-) --_{Boricuaeddie is now} Agüeybaná 21:37, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA was successful

Congratulations, I have closed your RfA as successful and you are now a sysop! If you have any questions about adminship, feel free to ask me. Please consider messaging me on IRC for access to the #wikipedia-en-admins channel. Good luck! --Deskana (talky) 23:14, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey there Caribbean H.Q., Congratulations on becoming an administrator. Obviously, it is unlikely that you will know how to use the tools at first and mistakes are bound to happen, so if you would like to practice using them, with step by step guides to follow, in an environement that you can do no harm in, then why not pop down to the new admin school where we have pages on blocking, deleting and restoring pages, protecting and unprotecting pages and viewing deleted pages. Once again, congratulations and best of luck with the tools. Ryan Postlethwaite 23:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations CHQ! I hope you can answer my question in your RfA (in the support section) at some stage. Enjoy the tools! Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 23:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it was VG...and I just looked through your archives, and I remember your sig too. Anyways, congrats! Now go empty out those cats :D Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 00:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Congrats on adminship!

That's great that you became an admin. BTW, I have a question: Would it be against Wikipedia policy to make an account to test something. I'd like to create an account and take popups for a testdrive. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 23:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

An Idea

Julius Cesar once used the military concept of "divid and conquer". This effective concept has been used by conquering nations throughout history. One of the ways in which this concept is used is by destroying and rewriting the conquered nations history. By making the conquered people of a nation believe that they had no history and that their history was that of the conqueror, the conquering nation would created a sense of dependency and thereby destroy the desire of independence.

When I wrote the "Military history of Puerto Rico", many people were unaware that we had a military history before the U.S. invasion. When I wrote "Hispanic-Americans in World War II" many people were unaware of the extent of the Hispanic contributions to that effort I was even accussed of rewriting history).

When I saw your recommendation about writing FA's on the proceres of Puerto Rico, I told myself what a wonderful idea, but then I began to think to myself "Why not work as a community on the article about the "Puerto Rican Independence movement" and bring that up to FA first?" This is an article that can help educate millions of people in general about the true struggles throughout history, for independence of the island. The true history of the movement can be told, from the ideas of Antonio Valero de Bernabe and Simon Bolivar, Betances, Campos and so on. The history of the slave rebellions, Grito de Lares, Ponce Massacre, Grito de Jayuya and the elections of the 1950's. The history of the different Independence parties and their founders such A. Barcelo, Coll y Toste, Concepcion de Gracia.

Let's say that Betances makes the Main page, many people may read it of course, but maybe if we also had a "Puerto Rican Independence movement" with links to the fathers of the movement, in the main page, it may capture the attention of those who do not know about the movement. I know that if an article appeared in the main page about the "Quebec Independence Movement", I would most likely read it before reading about the founder of the movement whom I have never heard about.

This is just an idea for the PR community to think about and since you and the others worked so well together on the Betances article I thought that I would suggest it to you and let you think about organizing a group to work on it. Tu hermano Tony the Marine 20:07, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Good work!

I see you're already working that mop, eh? :-) --Agüeybaná 21:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
