Happy New Year!

Felicidades, hermano. Que este año te traiga mucha paz y alegría. --Agüeybaná 21:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)



I have attempted to use the Talk page on CHE

CJ Griffin refuses to provide any evidence for his claims or for why he objects to my edits. He is extremely bias (has a crossed out logo of Che Guevara on his personal amazon page he provides) and uses blatant POV without justification. I am relying on the definitive sources on the topic along with years of study. He is relying on hatchet job hit pieces and has an axe to grind. My only option is revert edits ... because bim and Blguyen (sp?) refuse to discuss their objections. CJ Griffin labels the tribunals in Post Revolution Cuba as "Show Trials" when the evidence does not bar that out.

New Year

You too. By the way, we're having a chat at WP:HALO about some of the character articles, perhaps you could lend us your opinion? David Fuchs 22:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Fi Sigma Alfa

Thanks for your help and interest in the article, I don't think fusing "Administrative body" and "Chapters" to create a new section is a good idea I see that "Administrative body" could be merged some where else but "Chapters" should remain an independent section since I am also attempting to fallow the "norm" in fraternity and sororities Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities. Only one frat has reached FA status Alpha Phi Alpha and only 2 have reached GA status in the project: Phi Delta Theta and Beta Upsilon Chi, maybe looking at these u will see what I mean. Again I really apresiate the help you are giving me. Feliz Año Nuevo y felices Reyes!!!Eljohnson15 (talk) 03:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I think we could also use these: —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eljohnson15 (talkcontribs) 04:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

There is also an Article on the fraternity on Primera Hora; , You can read the entire article here: in the last post by "rjht". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eljohnson15 (talkcontribs) 05:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


What else do you think we can do before we recuest GA status??El Grande Johnson (talk) 21:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

RE from Hybrid

Yeah, dealing with this guy should make for a good time, assuming he's still at it after I messaged him, which he probably is. He's always such a delightful personality. The sad truth is, if we met in real life we'd probably be great friends 0_o. Anyways, my late congratulations on reaching the 1 year mark. After all this time you never cease to impress me. You surpassed me a very, very long time ago, and you just continue to improve. I can't take any credit for how great you've become; you are so successful simply because of who you are. Excellence can't be coached, my friend. You've already established yourself amongst the admin community, and I predict that before 2009 you will be capable of passing an RfB if you choose to. Have a great year my friend. Cheers, SexySeaBass 17:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hornetwoman... Maybe he's getting a sex change. Well, more importantly, I guess he's ignored my comment on Wikia. Hopefully he'll stay this creative throughout our hunt. Peace, SexySeaBass 14:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

On Wikia you get a new messages bar on every Wikia no matter which Wikia the message was received. The bar will redirect you to your talk page on the Wikia where you received the message. Therefore, even though he is leaving the PWW alone, I can still message him there, and he will receive it at the Local News Wikia, where he is a BCrat. He's a BCrat there because he started that Wikia, in case you're wondering. He's been trying to get unblocked on PWW, and I told him that I'd never unblock him unless he stopped sockpuppeteering. I guess he doesn't care. Oh well, that's fine with me. Cheers, SexySeaBass 22:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Eric Perez

Well, first of all, a reference is needed that he is contracted to OVW, and the other is that he is actually injured (and of what). A reference would be easy to find for both. Lex /C Guest Book 03:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that'll do just fine. Lex /C Guest Book 03:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Saludos, saludos, vengo a saludar...

Hola, amigo! Sorry, for the late response. I've been having some internet problems at home. Adminshipt has been... not so bad. :-) I've spent some time patrolling CSD, the orphaned talk pages query, and RFD. I also helped out at WP:ACE2007. Not much else, just where I can given my limited access. My current plans are to try and bring the Portal:Olympics up to featured status, and to help organize the 2008 ArbCom Elections.

How about you? I saw you handle the Menudo incident well, and I saw that reassuring comment by Jimbo. Way to go! - Mtmelendez 16:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Goku page

What's up man? Just letting you know, some anons keep messing with the Goku page, do you think you can help keep an eye on it? I know that if I were to request protection, it'd be denied. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 20:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Its on my watchlist but I haven't been particulary active lately, and most of my contributions have been going to either AN/I or articles that I'm interested in raising to GA this month, I will try to watch it but that will only work for a few days of the week until my college classes restart, if the vandalism gets to heavy just drop me a line and I will issue a semi for the time that the situation justifies. - Caribbean~H.Q. 20:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


BigGabrial555

I noticed your message on BigGabrial concerning Dominican Republic . Even though I have had my issues with BigGabrial555 , he does mean well. He is simply trying to make the article a better place. I do think that the article does have a lot of edit warring between different parties, but in the end we are like a family that bickers a bit. So don't block him if that's what you're thinking about doing.  :)

UnclePaco (talk) 22:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I just gave him a reminder, precisely to avoid him being blocked in the near future. - Caribbean~H.Q. 23:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


Maxwell (musician)

I have to differing sources of his heritage. One states his father is Cuban another states his father is Puerto Rican. Any help would be greatly appreciated. currently, "Maxwell is his middle name; he has chosen to keep his first and last name private out of safety for his family. He was born to a Puerto Rican or Cuban father and a Afro-Caribean/Haitian mother. "

UnclePaco (talk) 21:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

MTV says that his heritage is Puerto Rican and Afro-Caribbean other than that I have no idea. - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

JJ Barea

Regarding your request for JJ Barea pictures, I've seen some on NBA.com, when with Puerto Rico. I do believe here, I have seen a Mavs picture. Basketball110 03:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that those images are fair use in nature, fair use images used to depict the appearance of living persons are removed and deleted rather quickly in here, what the article needs are images that are in the public domain. - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:La Rabia

Yeah, I think that's a great idea. Lex /C Guest Book 18:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Disruptive IP

As you requested, the other IP is 70.188.24.125 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Though he was blocked mostly for extensive edit warring over bare feet, his uncivil behavior and sockpuppeteering were also factors. He hasn't changed. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 10:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. - Caribbean~H.Q. 11:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Couple things

Caribbean H.Q., there are a lot of Dragon Ball-related redirects that should be deleted:

  1. Dragon Ball Canon (appears to be a recreation)
  2. Fusion (Dragon Ball) (appears to be a recreation)
  3. Genki Dama (appears to be a recreation)
  4. Capsule Corporation
  5. Let's try try try
  6. Makafushiki adobencha
  7. Makafushigi adobencha
  8. Dragon Ball DVDs
  9. List of Dragon Ball DVDs
  10. West City (Dragonball)
  11. Dragonball Special Techniques (appears to be a recreation)
  12. Let's fly fly fly
  13. List of Dragon Ball Episoes
  14. List of Dragon Ball manga chapters
  15. Dragonball special techniques (appears to be a recreation)
  16. List of Dragonball Special Techniques (appears to be a recreation)
  17. Capsule core
  18. Greatest quest of all
  19. The greatest quest of all
I'd tag them, but I don't really wanna go through the trouble. Perhaps you can just delete them? Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 00:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
I will delete some later tonight, but there are some that could serve as legit redirects. - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks man. Though I don't see any potential redirects, I'm sure you'll do the right choice. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 04:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
What should be done with the leftover ones? Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 14:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I will not touch Genki Dama yet, but I recomend AFD, this is a plausible redirect but not a very solid article. Capsule Corp. is probably a common search item since its featured on the entire series, as is Fusion on Z and GT. - Caribbean~H.Q. 14:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Scouter (instrument) is a recreated link of Scouter (Dragon Ball). TTN redirected the page recently but I don't think it's plausible. Your thought? Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 02:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Can you delete Wiz (anime character) and its talk page? The character exists in the D.N.Angel anime AND manga so the link isn't needed. I have as well taken care of all redirects (except the one in an archive, which shouldn't be changed). A similar case happened to Astro Boy (manga character). Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 18:28, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I won't touch that article since I'm not familiar with this particular anime and can't judge the capacity that it may have to develop in a encyclopedic article. - Caribbean~H.Q. 20:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Found more possibly useless redirects:

  1. Dragonball Zeta
  2. Doragonbooru zetto
  3. Dragon-Ball Z
  4. Irony in Dragon Ball Z
  5. Head-Cha-La
  6. Head Cha-La
  7. Garlic Jr. Saga (should it redirect to another saga?)
  8. Garlic Jr. arc (should it redirect to another saga?)
  9. Garlic Junior Saga (should it redirect to another saga?)
  10. Garlic Jr Saga (should it redirect to another saga?)
  11. Dragon Ball Cast
  12. Dragon Ball Voice Cast
  13. DragonBallZ
  14. The Resurrection of the Dragon
  15. Z Sword and Talk:Z Sword
Let me know if I'm bothering you too much, ok? Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 02:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I will look at these later, probably tommorow since my account will be logging out soon, but beforehand I can tell you that Dragonball Zeta is quite plausible since its the main traduction to spanish in both Spain and Mexico. - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppetry of user Rothchild

I filed a report of suspected sockpuppetry here: Misplaced Pages: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)

I will take a look at it. - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Don't worry, it was some old report unrelated to me. He just put the notice on my talk page to try to get a rise out of me.--Skylights76 (talk) 22:15, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Félix Trinidad

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)

Oops, forgot to mention that if there were any changes I made to the article which you don't like, feel free to revert them. There were several sentences with awkward phrasing that I didn't like and replaced with phrasing that sounded better and still fit without tearing things up. These changes tended towards stylistic in spots and you may not like the style. Expunge as desired. -- Michael Devore (talk) 02:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping those vandals. Can you delete their userpages? I'm not sure why they've copied the article either, it just created confusion for the article categories. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 04:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Miguel Cotto

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 (talkcontribs) 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 (talkcontribs) 19:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Caribbean,

Thanks for the info, I'll scan and send the document over the weekend. Look it over when you get a chance.

In the meantime, enjoy the time you spend in "real life" . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acrlaw (talkcontribs) 19:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Goku page

Can you semi protect it? It's been targeted by anons and newcomers (in a bad way). Ah, did you see my reply here? Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 22:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Its seems they are adding dub language, I can't really justify protection unless there is clear vandalism there, this is more close to a slow moving content dispute and those are usually best resolved by discussing it with the other user. - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Matt Sanchez bank account claims

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. Benjiboi 15:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

That clears some of the smoke here, but from the looks of it this has become a off-wiki harrassment pattern wich certainly complicates the case. - Caribbean~H.Q. 15:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I've felt similar concerns but it seems that User:Wjhonson is a veteran wikipedian who actually has helped write some of the very policies we use. Although I feel uneasy about that site myself as it seems to cross a line, I do understand some of the motivations behind its use as well as similar sites that have been highly critical of Sanchez. I believe Wjhonson added themself into the Arbcom case. Benjiboi 15:21, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure what to think of Wjhonson's work on that page, to me it looks to intrusive to serve as a fair biography, and while I know that he is a established user he was apparently blocked for doing something simmilar in here before. - Caribbean~H.Q. 19:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, as I stated, at best I'm uneasy about it - looks as though Arbcom is sorting through it all and myself and others are working to ensure the article itself becomes as accurate as possible so eventually it will be addressed and maybe even a line added to policy to clarify whether such links also violate the BLP policies. Benjiboi 04:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Your copyedit request

On 27 August 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit of Héctor Lavoe. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we apologize. Since your request, this article may have been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. Finetooth (talk) 03:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Help?

I warned The T (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) about his re-addition of certain categories to redirects. He may not seem to get the point, still, what would you suggest? Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 18:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

He has received explanation of this before , his behavior has been perceived as disruptive by more than one users and he has received a final warning now, so if he continues a short block might be in order. - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
How is that "explanation on this before"? I've had two single people commit seperate edit wars. That's the only explanation I've "received". And neither has shown how to resolve the issue or explain what policies are even being broken. The T (talk) 16:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Regardless, you need as well the community's approval because not everyone agrees with you. I kind of see your point with this, but warring will only incite disruption. We can still go back here and discuss, in a civilized manner of course. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 18:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Putting it simple T, you have disrupted the project to prove a point, it doesn't really matter if you are right or not, users have expressed concern over your edits and you choose to edit war instead of discuss it. - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
I am not the one starting edit wars. I have posted my point of views in discussions, and the only response is a "No, you're wrong" without any backing response. Then said part goes on with their edit war. I have still seen no reasoning behind reverting the categorization of these articles. The T (talk) 20:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment

Don't ask for details, but there is a very real chance Hornetman is through. If anymore sockpuppets are found, please inform me at once. Cheers, SexySeaBass 20:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

End of planet earth

Why do you keep expressing ten-to-the-ninth as simply "109" instead of the correct 10 that the anon. editor keeps trying to enter? I see some other minor differences in paragraphing, is it something there you are objecting to? Could this be discussed on the talk page for the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loren.wilton (talkcontribs) 06:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah that was a unnoticed mistake, the anon was actually reverting a figure that said "five days" or something of the sort, I was trying to restore the unreferenced template that was removed without explanation. - Caribbean~H.Q. 06:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
