Hi

Hi, and welcome to my talk page. Thank you all for bringing good information here. I'll delete whatever clutters the page, trivial talk, personal attacks, solved discussions, and keep what's really important, as I've been doing lately. Sometimes, several comments interrupt creativity and concentration, and that's the most important thing here. So, enjoy and happy editing.--Entre-Nos 04:50, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Wiki markup conventions.

When entering an article, please do not wikilink (enclose in ]) the name of the article. Convention is to bold (surround by triple quotes ''' ''') the FIRST use of the article name.

Please do not wikilink every occurence of a term. Wikilink the first use of the term; if there has been a long section of text since the wikilinked instance of the term, it can be relinked, but try to minimize the number of times a term is linked.

Thank you. RJFJR 16:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear RJFJR:

Thank you for your comments. You're very kind and clear. I'll follow your advice from now on.

Best regards: --Entre-Nos 16:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I want to help you here. Look, I believe that you have what it takes to make great contributions in Puerto Rican related stuff. If you want I can set up a "workshop" for you where you can write your article. Then you can ask for opinions before submitting it. Now, let me remind you once again becuase for some reason you do not want to understand. Be creative and original. This is what our policy states

"Do not copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. It will be deleted."

This policy. Tony the Marine 06:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Tony, thanks for the workshop offer. Why not? I'd love to. It's not that I don't understand, I do, but I don't agree. That's ok, I think. Thank you again for your continuous advice. I appreciate it. --Entre-Nos 07:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

• O.K., I have created a "workshop" for you in your user page. There you can create your articles before posting them. Use the following as guides established by Misplaced Pages:

Thank you Tony. I really appreciate it. I'll start tomorrow, if I have the time. Best regards: --Entre-Nos 21:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

How are you today? By adding "del" to Ramon "Diplo" Rivero in the Paquito Cordero (which I wrote), you are de-linking Diplo's name tp his article. So, mi amigo I'm going to fix it once more and do not revert it. Tony the Marine 21:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

• I'm sorry Tony, but I corrected it as it appears on the list of famous Puerto Ricans. His real name is Ramón del Rivero, and his nick name is Diplo. But, don't worry, I won't revert it again as you wish. No problem.

Best regards. --Entre-Nos 04:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

• You're doing real good. Remember, if you need any advice here, do not hesitate to ask. I am here to help you and to guide you if needed. Tony the Marine 05:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

• I have one suggestion. If you want to get in touch with me or any other editor, go to my or their "talk pages" and leave a message. I rarely check other users talk pages, but always answer wharever is posted in my page. Tony the Marine 04:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Marta Romero

You wrote that? Damn, now that looks good! I see that you've taken my advice, congratulations. Tony the Marine 20:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Tony. You've been my teacher & my angel here. I'm so proud. Thanks again, I'll keep on day by day, trying to be less imperfect. Best regards:--Entre-Nos 21:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading the picture of Lou Briel. I've just put it into the right place in the article infobox. Be sure to check it out. Thanks. Thief12 00:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you very much Thief12, you've been very nice, and a great contributor. I appreciate it. Best regards: --Entre-Nos 02:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. About the Lou Briel picture, don't take it out of the Infobox. Infobox are prepared to hold a picture that's informative of the subject of the article. Your picture serves that purpose perfectly IN the infobox. Thanks again for your contributions. Thief12 19:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment

Here's some advice, when writing about a person, do not include phrases such as "famous", "great", "The most talented" and etc. to describe the person. This is considered as "POV" (point of view) and is against policy and not allowed. Remember, what may be true for one person may not be true for another. If POV phrases are posted, someone will "tag" the article as "POV" and then you will have problems. I cleaned up the Marta Romero article for you. Continue to enjoy yourself. Tony the Marine 02:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• Take the Sonia Noemi article and work it into the Wiki format that I showed you and you will make it into a much better article. Do it and make me proud. Tony the Marine 07:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• I just finished it, Tony. I hope I can make you proud again. Thank you for your help one more time. Best regards--Entre-Nos 09:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

You're Welcome!

Hey, you're welcome, man. Anything else I might help you with, let me know. Thief12 02:07, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

• Hi amigo, I see that you have met a famous "Bot" (smile). There is no use talking to a bot. A Bot is an automated feature which will revert things such as "Spams", "vandalism" and such. It doesn't know about the improvements that you've made to an article and will revert all of the work you have done with the only intention of reverting, in this case the "Spam". If you come across a "Bot" again in the future, revert the article, but make sure that you delete what the "Bot" has asked and then you will not have anymore problems. Take care. Tony the Marine 07:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear Tony, thanks for being my teacher, the greatest one. I appreciate your advise, really. Best regards:--Entre-Nos 07:20, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Award

For a starter in Misplaced Pages, you have done a tremendous job. I am proud to present you with our "Novice" medal. Tony the Marine 04:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow, dad's gonna like this a lot. I'll tell him when I see him. We're moving and he's in total charge of that, so now, I'm helping him around here. Thank you Mr. Tony. I know you've been very nice to him. See ya. My sis sends you regards. Little--Entre-Nos 05:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

• You're welcome. Your dad deserves and has earned it. I can spot a contributor with talent and that is why I have decided to guide him here. Tony the Marine 06:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

A note on categories

Hey there. Categories are automatically sorted by whatever text is in the "DEFAULSORT" line, so you don't need to add more text after the category. So See WP:CAT#Category_sorting for more information, and keep up the good work! Gimmetrow 15:06, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Gimmetrow: Thank you for your concern. But the thing is that in many cases, the names are not correctly written and when you link category page, the names are not in alphabetical order, or in some cases weren't featured. That's why I've done the changes. I appreciate your kindness and good information. Best regards.--Entre-Nos 17:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Birmania Rios

PLEASE STOP VANDALIZING THIS ARTICLE!!!! You have made MANY unconstructive edits and are replacing her nationality (Dominican) with Latin. She has always identified herself as Dominican American. Furthermore DO NOT ADD flag icons to an article. Further unconstructive edits will be reported to a site administrator. --XLR8TION 18:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not "VANDALIZING" this article, on the contrary, I'm correcting information. Where does it say in the article that she has always identified herself as Dominican American? Is that a statement? Maybe it should be added to the article, because, as I've read it, I noticed that she was born in Manhattan, New York and then at the age of 4 she moved to Puerto Rico, where she was raised. So, what does Dominican Republic has to do with her upbringing? That's not her NATIONALITY. The reason for the statement that she considers herself as a Dominican American is not clear. If it's true and stated, no problem with me, but it's not.

Why shouldn't I add flag icons to an article? Is it prohibited? Please explain, because if it is, there are a lot of international articles with flag icons. What's the meaning of unconstructive to you? I added to Miriam Colon that she is Puerto Rican; is that unconstructive? I changed the red links for the proper wiki markups, for cleaning purposes; I added her to the category of "People from New York"... isn't she?... and that's about it... is that unconstructive? I don't think so. Can you explain this throughly? I hope so, because if not, you're wrong. As I've noticed in the past, you love to threaten to report to the site administrator. That's ok if there's a reason for it but (?). So, I would love to know your answers to my questions. Best regards--Entre-Nos 19:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

She was born in New York and her parents are Dominican. Please take a look at the external links to see her nationality. Simply an ignorant person would delete that and replace that she is Latin American. That's not only ignorant but racist as well. Flag icons only go inside infoboxes. They do not go in the general article. If you have placed flags you must remove them according to the site's rules. Further unconstructive edits will be reported. Please stop vandalizing the article!--XLR8TION 21:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Of course I've read her external links, but that her parents are dominican doesn't mean that her NATIONALITY is dominican. She was born in New York and raised in Puerto Rico as a fact. You only answered the question about the Flag icons, and forgot the other ones. That means I was right in my statements. Besides that, you've insulted me calling me IGNORANT and RACIST. That's not fair. It's out of the question. Not NEUTRAL at all, as you're supposed to be. That, I would report, but my style is not your style. I would like to know what you mean by UNCONSTRUCTIVE EDITS, and furthermore, I've never vandalized that article, I repeat. Be kind and assertive, not threatening and offensive. It's an unconstructive approach. Best regards:--Entre-Nos 21:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Two things:

(1) Ignorance and stupid questions will not be addressed. Please stop with the unconstructive edits and concentrate on your articles.

(2) Do not write anything on my page.

Further unconstructive edits or vandalism will be reported. --XLR8TION 03:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Unconstructive Edits

Remember you have been reported due to many unconstructive edits and vandalism. Your multiple sock puppet accounts only validates this. (1) DO NOT WRITE ON MY PAGE! (2) I wil revert any and all unconstructive edits. (3) Concentrate on improving your poor English language skills and your poorly written articles on no-bodies. (3) Take some English language courses at Berlitz language academy as MANY editors have told me you are a nightmarish editor; (4) DO NOT CONTACT ME!

YOU DO NOT OWN ARTICLES EITHER! However I dont bother improving your articles as they are on non-important, non-notables and only would be of interest to those who cherish banility.

You have been warned. Please take this into consideration as I do not have time to deal with simpletons.--XLR8TION 16:51, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

XLR8TION Unnecessary Personal Attacks

Just to inform you that you've been reported due to many unnecessary personal attacks, such as: insults, offenses, threats and false accusations. Furthermore, you deleted my last reply about your "ownership" of Birmania Rios article, not only here but in my talk page. That wasn't nice. You shouldn't have ever done that. That's what you constantly call: vandalizing. Please don't do that again. Best regards:--Entre-Nos 18:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

You have been reported for repeatedly refusing to stop vanadalizing my page. You apparently do not under stand English, therefore, I will repeat the same message in Spanish: NO ESRIBES NADA EN MI PAGINA! Understand? Electronic harassment is a violation of federal law. Let's not go there because I will file a grievance with the powers that be. --XLR8TION 18:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment moved

Hi. I've moved your comment to Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Moved from requests for arbitration. Requests for arbitration is for when all other venues for resolving disputes have failed. The incidents noticeboard is a good first step. Picaroon (Talk) 19:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Picaroon! Thanks for your help, really. I appreciate it. Best regards:--Entre-Nos 04:08, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Friendly chat

How have you been? I see that you have been doing a lot of editing lately. I just want to make the following comment in regard to policy. Flag icons within the content of the articles are not allowed. If the article is not about the "flag" itself, it's inclusion will be deemed as decorative and therefore deleted. Flag icons, however are allowed with infoboxes. I hope that this will clear up any confussion regarding this issue and that future edit wars will be avioded. Otherwise, happy editing. Tony the Marine 20:39, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tony! I haven't had the time to thank you for the award. Wow, I'm so honored. My son told me and I couldn't see it until days ago. Mi kids have been doing the job for me and they have enjoyed it. I already know about the flag icons and it wont happen anymore. You really know how to guide and teach the way it is. Thanks again. Best regards! --Entre-Nos 03:56, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Freddy Beras-Goyco

I saw the ongoing dispute with he spelling of this gentleman's name. Can I recommend a redirect to the correct spelling so there isn't a duplicate article on Misplaced Pages? Wildthing61476 20:53, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Great idea!, Wildthing. Super.

re WP:AIV report on User:XLR8TION

I have removed your report per above. AIV is not the venue to continue your dispute with another editor. I have seen your debates with the above editor at both WP:AN and WP:AN/I and, while I have no opinion or comment on who is "right" or "wrong" in the matter, I am very concerned that you have attempted to have this editor blocked for a comment made 2 days ago. I further note that User:Picaroon had already contacted this editor to admonish them for the comment. Since you are in conflict with this editor I should suggest that you do not pursue these kinds of action. Other editors/admins are fully capable of making these decisions. Please consider this as an official warning; abuse of Misplaced Pages processes to further a dispute will note be tolerated. Further examples may result in further action, including a short block.
