replies: text: I corrected some typographical mistakes, added some additional descriptor terms, and tried to clean up the page. I believe there are no mistakes on it right now. I also deleted an incomplete (incorrect) listing in references, which should not have been there. Lawrlafo (talk) 06:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Integration

message: I'm trying to tag as many as I can into the WikiProject Puerto Rico, with the PuertoRico-bio stub, and the Puerto Rican writers category.... So far I've been focusing on the short story writers, then I'll move to the novelists. Is there a faster way to do this? Aristophanes68 (talk) 03:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  tagging the individual author's pages 

message: I have deleted the following entry, which appeared twice: under the letter A and then again under the letter D. I eliminated the incorrect one (A) and left the other. There is no need for the name to appear twice.
*Nelson Antonio Denis, Esq. (1954-), novelist, playwright, journalist, editor of the Harvard Political Review, co-founder of the Shaman Repertory Theater.--Mgdelarosa (talk) 03:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I have added a large number of names. We should encourage people to write articles on the authors that appear in red.--Lawrlafo (talk) 06:47, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: New entries

message: I have removed this reference which seems to be vandalism, as it was not linked to any author: fantasticfiction.co.uk Lawrlafo (talk) 02:35, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed Unexplained Reference

message: User:Unschool removed these names and suggested articles be written on them. I would propose reintegrating them when possible.

thread_title: Names for integration to list

message: I am removing this name for lack of relevance. This is a list of literary authors (as explained at the beginning of the list), not scientists.
*Rosana Mary Lastra Vicente, medical journalist and researcher, author or "Cardiac Development and Congenital Heart Disease" (2008)--Lawrlafo (talk) 02:39, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed Scientific Researcher

message: Where are the sources and references that confirm that those listed are indeed people of Puerto Rican heritage? If this list is to be considered reliable and is to follow the example of the "List of Puerto Ricans" then it should be expected that all additions be accompanied by sources or otherwise be deleted. I will place an "unsourced" tag until that is done. The best way to do this is by using the sources posted in the "List of Puerto Ricans" for starters.

thread_title: Sources?

message: For some reason there is no article on Bernardo Vega (Puerto Rico, 1885-1965), who wrote the very famous Memoirs of Bernardo Vega. There is only an article for the Dominican Bernardo Vega (a different person). I removed the incorrect wikilink on the list.--Lawrlafo (talk)
