Thank you for protecting the page to avoid this user (66.36.136.123)'s vandalism. We are sorry about violating the 3 revert rule though. -- Mike Garcia | talk 23:53, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

No worries on the block. These disputes tend to get very out of control, so I think you did the right thing. When it is discussed and decided upon, feel free to update that infobox, or let me know and I will do it. Thanks again! Cbing01 (talk) 00:06, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I know nothing about the subject of the article (I did a 10 second google search to aquire those links), but I'd like to see mike garcia not get banned. Ergo, I'd prefer the page stay protected for awhile. ¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸ 01:26, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Caribbean Wikipedians

I like your idea, count me in. Here are some other Caribbean Wikipedians whom I believe would also be interested. Wrote to them and tell them I sent you. They are: Cjrs 79, Joseph,<<Coburn Pharr>> and User:AntonioMartin, Let's keep in touch. Tony the Marine 1 July 2005 00:45 (UTC)

I'm in as well. —Joseph | Talk July 1, 2005 02:56 (UTC)

Count me in1 Hey, thanks for inviting me. I love everything and everyone Caribbean and Latin American. What country are you from? I originated the article Deaths in Ciudad Juarez, and a person e-mailed me in an insulting way telling me since Im Puerto Rican I shouldn't care about Mexico, which, by the way, geographically speaking is also a Caribbean country by way of Cancun and Isla Mujeres. That rwally got me wonder about this person's mental health, because I believe all Latinos and Caribbeaners are brothers and sisters and I want to thank you for trying to organize this group. Im definitely there.

Once again, thank you and God bless you! Sincerely yours, Antonio El Cheveron del Caribe Martin

Hola Trinidad!!! Como estas?? Im happy to know you're from Trinidad. Beautiful country! Ive seen it on brochures only, through :(. I know only a couple of things from Trinidad: Maurice Hope, a fabulous, fabulous world boxing champion (you should have seen the beating he put on some European top fighters!) and BWIA, the airline. I hope you dont get mad at me for saying this like the Mexican person did, but I used to see them every saturday, back when their planes where white and yellow with a girl and a flower on the tail. I loved them! Now that they are green with an orange or lime drawn on the fuselage I love them even better!

Well, I agree with everything you said about some people trying to divide us Caribbeans and Latinos. I think its sad specially since all the things we have in common unite us as brothers. I was impressed one time to learn there are about 50 nations in the Caribbean alone, roughly 25 percent of the world! When you think 100 percent of these countries speak either Spanish, English or French, that should bond us even more. What you are doing here is excellent.

Well, I will say adios now, I hope to hear from ylu soon!

thanks, and God bless you!

Sincerely yours, Antonio Caribbean Fiesta Martin

• I'm in!!!This looks like a great idea. I'm also from Puerto Rico, and I'm willing to help and collaborate on this proejct in any way. Let's get it on! I'll keep in touch!:D <<Coburn_Pharr>> 1 July 2005 07:23 (UTC)

Hi Guettarda,

CaribDigita here, I think that's a neat about Notice Board for Caribbean Wikipedians. I think a lot of 'common' regional good could be brought about by it. I am all for it! Count me in! CaribDigita 2 July 2005 17:55 (UTC)

No need to pick a single country. If you don't mind my asking, are you born in Barbados and based in Trinidad, or the other way round? Guettarda 6 July 2005 17:18 (UTC)

Hey there, I did make sure to update my profile. To answer the little note you left. Basically, I was born in Boston, grew up during the summer with my Grandparents in B'dos(they orig. from Trinidad). And I still have family in T&T that I sometimes visit. :-) CaribDigita 8 July 2005 03:21 (UTC)

• I'm in, but I'm busy with a few real world things these days. I'm seeking some involvement from some of the regional ICT people as well, though that hasn't been very promising. Actually, the same questions we're looking at are the same ones that they have been having meetings about for years. Thanks for the invitation, it is accepted... but first, I have to get my own website online after it was crippled by a Denial of Service attack. Like you say on your main page: I must be doing something right. --TaranRampersad 5 July 2005 04:54 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Caribbean/Notable People

Great idea! I made a suggestion of a possibe structure, dividing the section into the fields in which these people are most noted for. Since its your baby please take a look at the page and do what you think is best. Let me know about your decision. Your friend Tony the Marine 7 July 2005 19:07 (UTC)
