In case you didn't see it...

Here's the best pieces of advice for the future:

1. create drafts of articles that are fully compliant before moving into articlespace
2. do not communicate via edit summaries
3. do not remove CSD tags from articles you create yourself
4. WP:BLP's must be properly sourced before being live articles
5. always try to resolve issue directly with the other editor before coming to WP:ANI

DYK for Carlos Correa (baseball)

On 2 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Carlos Correa (baseball), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Carlos Correa is the first Puerto Rican to be selected with the first overall selection of a Major League Baseball Draft? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Carlos Correa (baseball). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thank you from the DYK team at English Misplaced Pages. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:13, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Professional wrestling in Puerto Rico

Thanks for the great article! I think that if you focus more on its encyclopedic content you will be able to develop it into a WP:GOODARTICLE. For example, did you know that professional wrestling is the highest source of income within the sports entertainment industry in Puerto Rico? If you focus on its economic aspect you will find out that not only will people accept the industry but encourage its development. Good luck! —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 13:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

A page you started (Professional wrestling in Puerto Rico) has been reviewed!

Misplaced Pages editor Wieno just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Well-written article! You've clearly put in a lot of work.

DYK for Free association movement in Puerto Rico

On 5 March 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Free association movement in Puerto Rico, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that support for the free association movement in Puerto Rico expanded by a hundredfold in 14 years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Free association movement in Puerto Rico. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Leopoldo López

Hello El Alternativo,

I recently noticed an egregious BLP violation on the Czech page of Leopoldo López found here. The content violates Misplaced Pages's BLP policy and the source they are using is far from reliable. I tried fixing it but I was quickly reverted. Do you think you could help me out in trying to remove this information? I noticed you made some significant edits to Leopoldo Lopez's English page so I decided to come to you for help. Thank you in advance!

Actually, I only restored a few vandalized sections in LL's page. The only reason that I edited the Venezuelan pages was because of my ability to understand the Spanish sources, not because of profound knowledge about the topic or a particular interest in it. I can't understand Czech and online translations don't help me in understanding exactly what is being added/reverted there. El Alternativo (talk) 00:36, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

NWA Title

If you want to talk, ask User:Wrestlinglover. He knows more than me about unofficial/ no recognized title reigns. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:28, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Also, if you want, I can speak spanish perfectly. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:36, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

P.R. wrestling

Que es exactamente lo q quieres hacer? 01:21, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

@PRwrestlinganalyst: Quiero que todas las biografias de los luchadores sean por lo menos de 25,000 bytes de largo para empezar a nominarlas al estatus de "Good Article". En el caso de las leyendas, quisiera que sus respectivas biografias sean por lo menos de 50,000 bytes. Pero, quiero que la de Carlitos Colón este al mismo nivel que lleve a la de Pedro Morales hace unos años. El problema es que yo solo conozco la historia desde aproximadamente 1999, antes de eso era demasiado joven como para conocer la cronologia de primera mano y lamentablemente no hay muchas fuentes con detalles de la mayoria de las rivalidades en internet. Para colmo, me encuentro fuera de Puerto Rico, por lo que no tengo acceso a fuentes como los archivos de los periodicos que publicaban los resultados para los 80s. Ustedes dos parecen tener un conocimiento bastante amplio de estas historias y creo que si lo recopilamos en algun "sandbox podemos" empezar a crear una estructura preliminar, un esqueleto, al cual luego se le pueden añadir las referencias para lograr la meta de destacar estas biografias. Si trabajamos juntos, su conocimiento directo del negocio y mi experiencia trabajando con los distintos formatos de Misplaced Pages se pueden combinar para lograr algo que exalte a nuestros luchadores ante el resto del mundo. Un saludo y gracias por la respuesta. El Alternativo (talk) 18:39, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

WWC

It should be split off. It will work. Only issue will be sourcing. Not sure it can make it to FL. No official site I can find of to help be a general ref. Otherwise it will be a large amount of work to get several third party refs that are reliable.--WillC 23:36, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Yeah that seems to work. If you need anymore help let me know.--WillC 02:00, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

AAA Mega Championship and List of TNA King of the Mountain Champions are the most recent FLs.--WillC 19:41, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

When you are finished with it let me know. I see some issues primarily in the reference department and in linking for the table. Tables are an exception to overlinking so absolutely everything is linked every single time no matter how many instances of it in the table.--WillC 07:27, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Remain civil

Hi,

On this edit you called me "juvenile". I would like to remind you that one of Misplaced Pages's policies is to remain civil. Your remark can be considered a personal attack which are against conduct behavior on Misplaced Pages. Should this behavior continue it would force me to bring this matter to the attention of other parties.

Do not assume anything. At this moment, you have included a very strong statement that says, "the term soberanista (lit. "sovereignty supporter") refers to someone that supports reclaiming and employing the archipelago's sovereignty to eliminate any applicability of the territorial clause of the United States Constitution." Those are very strong descriptions that need to be properly sourced.

Perhaps you should rephrase them as, "soberanista refers to someone that seeks to redefine the relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States to that of a compact with full sovereignty." That definition does not use the verbs "reclaim", "employ", or "eliminate", nor the phrase "the archipelago's sovereignty" which is today under dispute (some say it exists while others say it does not--therefore, saying they want to "reclaim it" is controversial. Furthermore, the qualifier "any" applicability is not used either.

Once again, do not assume anything and keep those unnecessary remarks out of Misplaced Pages.

—Ahnoneemoos (talk) 23:57, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Do not patronize me Ahnoneemoos, I am not a new user and "juvenile" is far from being uncivil. Given your edit history, if my intention was to insult you, I could have used one of several epithets that are readily available to use against estadistas. I do fail to see what you find so strong (National sovereignty is not possible under the territorial clause, hence "eliminate" is accurate. Also, soberanistas do not want the "small s sovereignty" that is being disputed at the moment, so no, I don't think that is really that relevant here. Lastly sovereignty must be reclaimed and employed in the event of any self-determination exercise regardless of the final result, so it's not something that should be controversial) but you can easily modify that sentence without the need to tag my work, after all, I improved your stub out of consideration instead of starting a new article about "Soberanistas" so my intention is not to hug it to myself. Also, you went *way* overboard in your reaction to that reference, had you posted about it here without the random diatribe, I would have simply replaced it. Now, you have the option of working with me on this page or continue with the jabs, if you favor the former, I recommend removing that notice and amending the title of this section to something more conciliable. You won't find anyone more knowledgable or with more sources about the history of this movement in Misplaced Pages, but this type of hyperbole is not making it appealing to cooperate with you at the moment.
