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)
- 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)
WMC RfA
Thank you very much for the information, as it does change my vote. As for the diffs, your word is definitely good enough :) All the best.--Scimitar 7 July 2005 22:35 (UTC)
Qatar
Thanks for your answer at WP:RD about Qatar. I am grateful. PedanticallySpeaking July 8, 2005 20:47 (UTC)
Michael Mann (scientist)
Hi G, I'd be grateful for your opinion on the slow edit war at Michael Mann (scientist). I'm a bit close to the subject. William M. Connolley 22:46:38, 2005-07-09 (UTC).
Back? Me?
Thanks, I do appreciate it. In part, I was out because I visited some friends in England for ten days, and didn't want to abuse my internet privileges (and wanted to spend most of my time with them and their son). I have to admit I was also feeling burned out by some battles that I still think are worth fighting (I am not talking about my BCE proposal — although I want to battle any attempts to use that whole thing as a reason systematically to erase any instance of BCE in Wikipedia — just other things). Also, I have reached a point where I genuinely do not know what more I have to contribute. If I do have more to add, it will take me some time to figure out what. And in the meantime, I am at an exceptionally productive, but busy, stage in my work, which often involves 13 or 14 hour days that are exhilarating, but leave little time for anything else. Anyway, none of this should be taken to mean that Wikipedia is any less important to me. Thanks again, Slrubenstein | Talk 00:30, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

The flag layout on your user page is cool, so I borrowed it, with attribution. Salsb 04:18, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
WMC's RFAr
All of what you say about the RFAr and ArbComm is true. It's unfortunate that the fact remains that the ArbComm did parole him and he does POV-warrior at times, even if I would probably agree with his opinion. I've seen some of his comments on VfD too, and they are less smoothly phrased than they might be (even though VfD is pretty spiky anyway). It would be nice to have another official (so says ArbComm!!) expert added to the admins, but not this one just yet. He's close to being promoted at the moment, but if he's not then I'd certainly consider my vote completely afresh after the parole has expired. -Splash 02:09, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
Wikistress
Hello Guettarda. I see you got a lot of wikistress. May I ask why? I do hope you don't leave wikipedia. Every time we lose a competent wikipedian, the idiot ratio gets a bit higher :-( Redwolf24 06:30, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
My RFA thanks
Thanks for your work on the RFA. Also, I hope "your" bomb hasn't been too stressful (what was it for?). I went through London on monday: an odd experience, tubes shutting, lots of police around, etc etc. William M. Connolley 18:27:40, 2005-07-13 (UTC).
Mamoncillo
Hi Guettarda - saw your note at Talk:Mamoncillo; I'd agree a move to the scientific name is a good idea, though before doing so, do you know if the genus is monotypic or not? One of my books says Melicoccus has two species, but goes on to describe only the one, and I can't find anything else saying more than one species. MPF 21:30, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
