Conservative Ideas

Would be useful if somebody (preferable academic) talk about his Ultra Conservative Ideas, and Discuss(with historical references in similar government) how these ideas will Worsen/Improve the weakening economic situation in the island, especially to middle class.

That's contentious, we need verifiable sources that talk about this. We can't just find someone who will write their opinion on here, even if they are from academia. We need to find external sources. Perhaps articles from Claridad? - Mtmelendez ^(Talk) 13:18, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Claridad as a verifiable source? A newspaper that is compromised with a political ideology to provide information for someone from another ideology? Not very reliable 131.94.223.135 (talk) 09:49, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced allegations to be discussed

I have transferred from the article for discussion the following unsourced allegations:

"===Links to the Abramoff scandal===

Resident Commissioner Luis G. Fortuño has also been involved in allegations from the local Puerto Rican press regarding campaign donations from several ranking members of the "Abramoff gang". Supposedly, Luis Fortuño accepted donations from Republicans like Jerry Weller, Tom Feeney, and Don Young, all of them linked in some way or another to Abramoff. Some speculations say that Fortuño ranks in the bottom tier of a coalition of Republicans that trades campaign donations for earmarks and approval of legislation which benefits Republican candidates. One of the controversial legislations is the confirmation of United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico, Rosa Emilia Rodriguez, who was approved disregarding the due process of scrutiny from the Senate."

Highly inflammable political content such as this should be thoroughly sourced prior to placement in the article. Pr4ever (talk) 01:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Response to unsourced allegations

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia in which everyone from every kind of perspective is allowed to post information accordingly. The controversies section has just been updated with the actual references and videos that confirm the press inquiring Fortuno about the donations, articles about the issue and links to other sources. The text is not politically biased, it is an objective information that informs the reader about his controversies, just as the Acevedo Vila page has one section regarding the donation scandal. This section does not state that the speculations are a truthful fact, it is just a section to stress the importance of those allegations, whether they are true or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.50.172.189 (talk) 19:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves

WP:CRYSTAL is clear. While no one doubts this event will happen, we should wait until after it happens later today to have a version that shows Fortuño as Governor. New user User:Republikaner most probably did the anonymous edits, and I hope he continues his productive editing (great work, if a bit early!) Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 07:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Second Republican RC

Just noticed this- according to the intro, Fortuño is the second Republican RC, however, he is listed as the 5th in the article on PR's RC's. This disparity needs to be addressed.The Original Historygeek (talk) 17:16, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seal of the Governor of Puerto Rico

With no previous discussion, someone removed the image of the Seal of the Governor of Puerto Rico. Users should have been allowed to comment on whether or not the seal should stay or go. If for no other reason, the seal should STAY because it makes the page much more visually attractive and is pertinent to the subject of the page. Remember, a page like this is downloaded and printed by schoolchildren looking for information for their school assignments and we can provide more thanm simply dry, staid text. I'd like to hear what others think. Pr4ever (talk) 10:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at it from a purely uniformity viewpoint, it does not appear that any other state or territorial governor has the seal of his or her office or state in their article either, nor does Obama's. Just a thought. The Original Historygeek (talk) 15:19, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am always in favor of the use of the seals and emblems which represent the subjects discussed in their respective articles. In this case, of course I would agree that the seal should stay, however there is one small detail and that is that the image in question is not "public domain". The person who removed the image of the seal from the article stated the following: "No rationale for use in this article". Therefore, if an image of the seal is going to be used in the Honorable Fortuño's article, a PD image should be uploaded or in this case a "rationale" of usage in the article should be added in the image's page. Here is an example of a rationale that can be used:

Rationale for use in Luis Fortuño 1. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the Governor of Puerto Rico, a subject of public interest.
