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?Tony the Marine (talk) 19:22, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Marine 69-71! My first thought on seeing that someone had removed the "More footnotes needed" hatnote I put on atDemetrio 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)[reply]

Tony, I came across the article on prominent Puerto Rican Manuel Pérez (1890-1951)o that was proposed for deletion, as it was without any references. Perhaps you can help Please seeTalk:Manuel Pérez (teacher). I'm not going to be able to work on the article, but it seems that is one editor who is helping out. —ERcheck (talk)20:16, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Tony. Thank you for your service both as a Marine and a Wikipedian sir. I was hoping you could help me talk to User:$1LENCE D00600D on his wall of honor. One of his articles is experiencing severe [[Wikipedia:Link rot]] and I would like to speak to him about it. Thank you sir.

Hi @Tony. It has over 3 months since you've edited on Wikipedia, and I didn't hear back from you on the articleManuel Pérez (teacher) that I mentioned in July. I hope all is well with you and your family. I came across a Puerto Rican physician that might merit a biography and wondered if you were interested in looking into it. Take care. —ERcheck (talk)10:43, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
