 | This user "talk" page belongs to the first Wikipedian recognized by a legislative body for his contributions to Wikipedia. On November 20, 2007, the 23rd Senate of Puerto Rico recognized this Wikipedian for being, "one of the main contributors of content related to Puerto Rico in the open online encyclopedia known as Wikipedia". “Para expresar el reconocimiento y agradecimiento del Senado de Puerto Rico al señor Antonio Santiago por su dedicación y entrega a la causa de ayudar a difundir a través de los nuevos medios electrónicos de difusión, información sobre distinguidos puertorriqueños y, en particular, aquellos que han servido con distinción en la milicia."Senado de Puerto Rico; Page: 37205}.doc |

I BELIEVE
I believe that at this time and age, Wikipedia should require that all those who wish to edit or add to our project should be registered users. It is easy for an unregistered user to vandalize an article which many of us have gone through a lot of trouble to write, then immediately make a copy as if that is what was truly written, thereby dis-crediting our project and adding to the reality that ours is an unreliable encyclopedia. The fact is that the majority of the vandalism is caused by un-registered users who have nothing better to do with their lives. If Wikipedia wants to keep it's good and honest contributors who love to share their knowledge with the world in general and wants to gain some sense of being a reliable encyclopedia, then it must do something to protect it's contributors and the articles which they have written from the constant vandalism going on, otherwise what's the use of staying here?

Well, well, well...
Hi Marine 69-71! My first thought on seeing that someone had removed the "More footnotes needed" hatnote I put on at Demetrio O'Daly was that it was yet another of the many vandal users who hold a grudge against me for reverting their vandal edits. However, I now see that you are a user of long standing and I must confess that it had not occurred to me that a user of your experience, and an administrator to boot, would do so without a) leaving a "descriptive edit summary, e.g., "Removed [insert the name of template] because I have fixed the issue" (you have not) or b) bring the issue up on the talk page (you have not) or, indeed, c) any of the other courtesy options available to the community.
Just to give you some background, after having already put 4 "cn" tags at different points in the text and discovering as I went through the article that it would need several more, I removed them and opted for the logical solution, which is to put that over-reaching hatnote, the one you removed without having solved the issues it refers to. Why that hatnote should bother you so much, I am at a loss to understand (surely you would welcome a better-referenced Wikpedia page?), and maybe you would now be so good as to enlighten me.
Apart from the very large number of items needing references from reliable sources, there are several other aspects of the article (original research) that require attention. But I guess you have all that under control. If that is the case, might I suggest putting up an "under construction" hatnote so that other users can be sure that the matter is in good hands?
We're all very busy, but if I don't hear from you over the next 48 hours or so, I shall return to the article and do some superficial editing to fix some of the most obvious flaws, including removing unsourced items and, if necessary, re-instating that original hatnote that points out the deficiencies regarding references. Hopefully without upsetting you too much. Regards, Technopat (talk) 21:20, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
