Sammy Betancourt

Hey, Tony!

I hope you're feeling great, doing great! I've been busy the last few days but I'll look at Sammy Betancourt.

We had a lackluster election in NYC...in some citywide races, less than 5% of voters knew who the candidates were, or even cared. The state of the Union, I guess.

It's great to hear from you, I'll look at Sammy soon.

Battle of Fajardo

Hello, I see you expurgated the editorial corrections and detailed account I wrote for what you refer to as the "minor" battle of Fajardo, apparently deeming it too long. Be that as it may, as a point of historical accuracy, the 28 men and officers who held the Fajardo lighthouse and repelled the Spanish attack were US Navy sailors from the USS Amphitrite. The were not US Marines. No disrespect to the US Marines, that's just a fact. The marine involvement was limited to a landing the next morning after the battle was done and the Spanish troops were gone led by Lt. Lejeune from the USS Cincinnati.

For the actual history by the men what were there, in particular, Lt. Atwater who led the boat parties from Amphitrite and was SOP(A) here is a link to the Annual Report of the Secretary of the Navy from 1898. The relevant entries start at the entry on p. 650 by Capt. Fred Rodgers of USS Puritan which the link below will direct you to. The report by Lt. Atwater appears at pp. 652-657. The Fajardo lighthouse "battle" was fought by 2 boatloads of bluejackets from the USS Amphitrite, no other ship. The monitor, USS Amphitrite, did not carry a US Marine complement.

http://books.google.com/books?id=UStHAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA651&lpg=PA651&dq=uss+amphitrite+1898+fajardo+annual+report+secretary+navy&source=bl&ots=k9L2B89Xwb&sig=2K28SIZcQQnQmECWsoL6f-Btegw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6KNGUuWTArTC2gWMioGwDA&ved=0CCoQ6AEwATgK#v=onepage&q=uss%20amphitrite%201898%20fajardo%20annual%20report%20secretary%20navy&f=false

If you can provide a reference to support the statement that the 28 men and officer who fought the Battle of Fajardo were "marines", please let me know. Otherwise, for historical accuracy, the article should refer to "bluejackets" or "sailors".

Battle of Fajardo-- thanks, Tony

Tony, thanks for your good words and message, my friend. I completely understand your sound decision to abbreviate the topic on the main Puerto Rican Campaign and thanks for starting a separate article. Keep up your good work and all the best to you, user: Barnabywoods — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnabywoods (talk • contribs) 23:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Pedro Albizu Campos and Cornelius P. Rhoads

Tony,

I just did a bit of clean-up on the Pedro Albizu Campos page and left a comment on the talk page, as well.

There is also activity on the Cornelius P. Rhoads page which might be of interest to you.

All the best, Nelsondenis248 (talk) 01:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Export of edit warring from Cornelius P. Rhoads, onto the Pedro Albizu Campos article

The reversion of sourced material and edit warring that is occuring on the Cornelius P. Rhoads page, has now been exported by User:Parkwells onto the Pedro Albizu Campos page. I restored the original sourced material (over 1,400 bytes of information) and placed a notice on the talk page of Pedro Albizu Campos. Nelsondenis248 (talk) 14:58, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Re: Thanks

Thanks for your note. Sorry to have to be on the other end of reversing your action, but I know you had the best interest of the encyclopedia and its articles and editors at heart. Andrevan@ 15:27, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Talk page / user page

Tony,

Could you please assist with the following -- 1) move my user page and talk page from Nelsondenis248 to Sarason, and 2) remove the redirect from Nelsondenis248 (in order to retain the editorial history).

Thank you so much, Sarason 18:46, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Wikimedia blog profile

Hi Tony,

I hope this finds you well. I wanted to let you know that we published a profile of you on the Wikimedia blog based on the interview you did with Victor Grigas. I hope you like it. Please let me know if there is anything you would want changed. In addition to my Talk Page, you can email me mrothwikimedia.org

best, Matthew (WMF) 17:54, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Oops! I guess we should have gone with our first name for you "Antonius Maximus Wikipedius"? :) I've updated with the correction. Thanks so much and kudos for the inspiration you provide through your work on Misplaced Pages. Thanks, Matthew (WMF) 19:51, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Very nice, my friend, I am glad to see your accomplishments recognized. Keep up the good work. Andrevan@ 23:14, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

¡Felicitaciones amigo!

I am happy to see that you are looking well and still doing the fine work that you normally do. As usual, you get my respect and appreciation. MusiCitizen (talk) 21:04, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations

You are looking well my friend. I am glad that Misplaced Pages has finally recognized your work. Its reassuring to know that Puerto Rico's related articles are under the watchful eye of a dedicated scholar of Puerto Rican history. Saludos, --Jmundo (talk) 01:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Congrats from me too!

I had already written you in my page about this, but it really belonged here. The Misplaced Pages blog profile about you was well deserved - especially after years putting up with all of us here (hahaha). Be well my friend; there is no question you have made your mark and we are all better editors because of you. Regards, Mercy11 (talk) 01:43, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

• Keep up the good work! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:01, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Request

Could you delete this article? I am the creator and no longer want it. Let me know if I need to go through some other process instead. Thanks, Mercy11 (talk) 01:38, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

• I have complied with your request. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:47, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Profile piece

Just read the profile piece on you - very impressive - well done old bean!

Hola

Yeah, I usually come and go nowadays, but actually decided to (more or less) stick around this time. I have noticed that the project is quite inactive and was actually welcomed quite rudely by someone (that admits to being a puppeteer) named "Ahnoneemoos" for pointing it out. We should probably round up any remaining members and discuss a standard of quality, including a protocol to deal with new entries. - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:43, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
