Thank you so much for your articles!

Hi Portorricensis, thanks for contributing articles on Puerto Rican cuisine. I hope you haven't been discouraged at these deletion messages, but I think I've managed to rescue most of the stubs from the wastebin. It might be helpful to combine all the hot sauce articles into one unified Pique article, if you'd be up for the task, which I'd be more than happy to help with. Keep up the great work! :) ~Eliz81 ^(C) 07:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Eliz, good idea. I'll try to do it later! And thanks for all your offered assistance on this.

Baneké

I must ask, is this another Taino/Carib name? to be honest I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and this is the first time that I have seen this term, Joel also seems unfamiliar with it. Can you explain your addition? - Caribbean~H.Q. 19:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Joel, thanks for asking. I know that a lot of people in Puerto Rico don't ever hear or get to learn several details about our history. Especially because the one they teach on the books are "officialized" by the government through the "Departamento de Educación". Our history books havn't been revised in more that 50 years, so most of the recent discoveries have no part in "official" books.

Baneké (or Banequé) is the name of an island (Borikén), mentioned in the diary of Columbus of 1492, who the lucayos mentioned as being located east-southeast of its archipelago and where gold abounded. This was discovered by European historian Adam Szasdi in the 80s.

Take care,

--Portorricensis (talk) 20:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not Joel, he is another Puerto Rican sysop, I was referencing him because he didn't seem familar with the word when revising the article. I was just curious over the meaning of the term, since not even in the Universidad del Turabo where I took my early humanities classes (and they call themselves Taínos ;-) this was mentioned. Anyway, thanks for the explanation, keep up the good work in the culinary and the Taíno-related articles, cheers. - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, OK. Hey, if it were you the one who deleted the info. I placed on the Taino page, please, reconsider to do a little research about it and brig it back. I wont do it again, since I feel I already lost time and effort on that.

Thanks, man,

--Portorricensis (talk) 21:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The info was removed by Joel, I didn't revert the edit because he is more experienced than me in terms of history and politics, but I can take some time to check a few books in college and find a reference. - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cool! The best book you can ever read about this topics is the actual Christopher Columbus Diary. The have it now online:

http://www.ems.kcl.ac.uk/content/etext/e020.html

Please, read "Tuesday 13 November".

Well, "see" you later, guys!

Mofongo

Happy to help. Sadly, I've never eaten it or any other Puerto Rican dishes, but I noticed the page needed some pictures so I searched flickr. Maybe I'll look around Toronto for a Puerto Rican restaurant and see if they have mofongo. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 04:58, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Puerto Rican cuisine

I think the individual PR cuisine articles (about individual cuisine items) need more work and supplementation to make them really great. I just found a great Flickr photographer who wants to take photos and contribute to our PR cuisine articles that have no photos (i.e. "naked" articles), so I hope that will get people excited about expanding them. I added the first such photo under Cuchifritos--check it out. Badagnani (talk) 16:56, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Portorricensis, how are you? I have noticed the war -editing going on in the article and therefore I am requesting that the situation be discussed in the articles talk page before any edits are made. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:30, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I made some suggestions, but I haven't heard from you. Let me know what you think. If I do not hear from the parties involved I will assume that consensus has been reached and make the changes. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Tony, but I'm lost about it. Where are your suggestions, on Cuisine article or Puerto Rico's?

Cheers.

"Unincorporated" Myth

Provide sources that Puerto Rico is not a unincorporated territory before deleting my edits. The Supreme Court rulings are very clear (see insular cases). Congress doesn't have an "exclusive" power over PR, the Supreme Court has constitutional power over all cases of law, including actions or lack of action from congress. —Preceding unsigned --Jmundo (talk) 22:31, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Jmundo, please provide us where are the words "unincorporated" and/or "incorporated" is US Constitution. At least provide us a quote from an official US Congress document stating that Puerto Rico is "unincorporated".

Puerto Rico's political status is EXCLUSIVELY under the plenary powers of US Congress, based on US Constitution, and NOT under any court opinion or "declaration".

Oh, BTW, LOL, PLEASE show proof that courts have "shared" powers with US Congress regarding Puerto Rico and other territories.

Please, please, please read the discussion on this topic..

Greetings!

--Portorricensis (talk) 22:18, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Saludos, Section 2 of Article Three of the United States Constitution outlines the jurisdiction of the U.S Supreme Court: "The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority."

I hope we can reach a consensus with the article, see last edit by SamEV and the page discussion. --Jmundo (talk) 06:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, así es. US Supreme Court have jurisdiction in all cases based on equity, and law, but NOT in Puerto Rico's political status. That belongs only to US Congress.

I'm not really satisfied with SamEV edit, since "sources" other than US Constitution, and official US Congressional documents, canNOT define Puerto Rico's status. BUT, I wont touch it (SamEV's edit) for now.

Saludos,

Puerto Rican cuisine

Portorricensis, antes de todo, I would to wish you and your loved ones and very "Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year". Trata de no comer mucho lechon. Talking about lechon, as you know I have been around here for a very long time and when I noticed the editing situation going on in the Puerto Rican cuisine article, I put it on protection tag and started a discussion on the articles "talk" page. I gave ample time and made some suggestions in an unbiased and neutral way. I am requesting that you please abide by the actions taken in the implementation of said suggestions. I know that you are a good faith person and therefore I want to keep the situation from escalating into an edit war which does nobody any good. Y recuerda ten mucho cuidado con Las Parandas (smile). Gracias, Tony the Marine (talk) 02:35, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, this is really ridiculous!

I basically created Puerto Rican Cuisine article, and now someone (Joel) wanna say that I'm doing "vandalism"? LOL

Comment

Portorricensis, I really wish that we could have sorted this thing out. The Puerto Rican cuisine article was protected because you continued to constently make changes without discussing them first on the talk page which is the norm. For one thing, I am completely unbiased when it comes to writing and presenting facts. I am not involved in the disputed editing of the "Puerto Rico" article. As an Administrator I stepped in during the war-editing that went on the Puerto Rican cuisine article in the role of mediator. I invited those involved to participate in their "talk" pages and presented a proposal. You choose not to participate. I left you a friendly message and instead of discussing the issues with me you proceeded to undo what you felt you didn't like. I warned you and you "threatened" me in your talk page. In part I do understand you and your believes but, you should know that it was wrong for you to take the stance "I created the article, end of story". You see, no one "owns" the articles written in Wikipedia. When you post an article, you have to accept that others have the right to change or add to them. Of, course if the addition is vandalism or unsouced, it will be removed, but good faith unbiased additions which are verifiable are accepted. If it were true, as you say, that I am spreading propaganda, I wouldn't have been honored by Congress, the Pentagon and by the Senate of Puerto Rico. Governor Luis Fortuno wouldn't have paid me tribute in a speech from Congress, nor would have members of the Puerto Rican Senate, including K. McClintock visited me and paid tribute to me as well. Of course I have my personal believes, but the truth comes first and that is what I do when I write. Take care.

Tony, please see my reply on the cuisine discussion page.

Take care, man!
