Puerto Rico

Great writing, good article status, excelent FA nominee. Hezzy 18:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object - Insufficient lead (should be at least three paragraphs), insufficient referencing. Remember, anyone can edit wikipedia, so if you're doing a research paper for school or whatnot, you can't reference us... so we need to provide where we got the information so that the person can reference them instead. Lots and lots of facts in this article are unreferenced as such. Fieari 18:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object -- why are we claiming Image:Taino Village.JPG is public domain? Please check the license status of all of the images used in the article. Jkelly 18:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So you object because of one possible image tag error? Joelito (talk) 19:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Normally I leave image template problems as a "Comment", as they're largely tricky Wikipedia:Fair use things. But making an unsourced claim that what we are republishing is public domain without anything to demonstrate that it is true is significantly worse than making dodgy (or even nonsense) fair use claims. Frankly, I don't think editors should be bringing articles to WP:FAC without spending a few minutes researching each image that is being used. Jkelly 19:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object not quite ready. Many missing aspects. Joelito (talk) 19:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
object agree with others and needs pics. Many sections have too much detail (politics). While Culture, for instance, is a stub. --Pedro 19:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object - There are some claims in the History part that are just inaccurate (one of the most blatant ones is that Luis Muñoz Rivera somehow persuaded the Spanish government to concede autonomy to Puerto Rico in 1897... he reached a compromise with a Spanish political leader who came to power just before the Spanish prime minister at the time was assassinated. In other words, good timing...) Needs more references and some editing, as per above. Demf 13:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
