Check this out

Cerejota, last week I finished writing my Jewish immigration to Puerto Rico article. As you know, I have written in my PR immigration series about the African, Corsican, French, German and Irish immigration and about the immigration/migration of Puerto Ricans to Hawaii and New York. The only two which I did not write were the ones of the Dominican and Chinese immigrations to PR.

The thing is that I went on to check the Chinese immigration article to see if it was up to my standards and man, what a terrible mess of an article did I find. Then I saw the message which you had left last year on the talk page (Aug. 2007) and I couldn't agree with you more.

"he narrative here seems to copy some of the elements of the excellent Chinese Cuban. However, unlike that article, this is one is total original research, it alleges the existence of a "Barrio Chino" but doesn't document it for example. The topic is certinly notable, but the article needs major cleanup. Thanks!--Cerejota 21:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)"

I told myself "Man, I'm going to take this article and rewrite it from scratch with the "Tony" touch. Well I think I've got a pretty good article and I just wanted to share it with you: Chinese immigration to Puerto Rico. Enjoy. Tony the Marine (talk) 04:15, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Cerejota, thank you for the barnstars and kind words. Great observations in the Chinese immigration to Puerto Rico!

Actions taken:

1. I have included both flags as suggested, since both at one time or another were flown in the mainland China during the immigration process.

2. I have eliminated the census figures, since those tend to create confusion and do not necessarily give us a truly accurate figure. In other words people tend to identify themselves with what ever group they please even if it is a misrepresentation on their behave.

Gracias once more. It is always a pleasure to interact and work with "Boricuas" like you. Tony the Marine (talk) 17:38, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Feliz Dia de Gracia

Just dropping by to wish you un "Feliz Dia del Pavo" (smile). Tony the Marine (talk) 22:42, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

November 2008 Mumbai attacks

Hola Cerejota, como el español es tu habla nativa como yo te hablare en español, me gustaria comentarte que la columna del articulo November 2008 Mumbai attacks hay un error en la columna donde indican los fallecidos y los heridos, porque en "Spanish" pone 1 muerto y 1 herido, eso es incorrecto, se trata de un matrimonio español que resultaron heridos en el atentado y segun parece la persona que falleció se trata de una mujer y eso es imposible porque ayer salio en las noticias hablando desde España, en cambio su marido, él esta en un hospital de la India pero mejora favorablemente, por eso pienso que se deberia cambiar. son 2 heridos, todavia no ha muerto ni uno de los dos [1] --Ravave (talk) 17:39, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Puerto Rican Irish

Cerejota, since you enjoyed my Jewish immigration article, I think that you may like the 360 degree overhaul that I did to the Irish immigration to Puerto Rico article. You see my main objective in my immigration articles is to create awareness that Puerto Ricans are not just a result of a combination of Spanish/African/Tainos as we and everybody else has always been led to believe. Even though the mixture of the three races is the basic fundation of our beginings, for the last two hundred years our people have also been mixed with the people of non-Hispanic origins, hence the surnames Miller, O'Neill, Santini etc, plus red and blond haired Puerto Ricans with all sorts of colored eyes and shades of skin. In other words, in my opinion, it would be most correct to recognize and state that Puerto Ricans are also a mixture of non-Hispanic Europeans. I hope that you enjoy it, Tony the Marine (talk) 23:11, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

I think you mistakenly placed this comment in the wrong area. Aren't you responding to a specific editor? --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
