Ramón Emeterio Betances[edit]
As was the case with Héctor Lavoe below this article was taken to Good Article status as a result of the work of some members of WikiProject Puerto Rico, most notably Demf. The article then underwent a Peer review that only received an automated review, after discussing the situation with Mtmelendez who was the original nominator we agreed that most adecuate next step was to take the article directly to FAC, as with Lavoe any points presented here will be attended ASAP by members of WikiProject Puerto Rico, thanks for your time. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support After having reviewed this article a couple of times elsewhere, I am happy to be able to support it for FA. It is well-written, appears comprehensive (I am no expert) and as well-researched as it can be. I am so happy that we have editors who can provide us with information from foreign-language sources in such a detailed and interesting way. Thanks! Awadewit | talk 09:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, I created this baby which was a regular article until Demf came along and poured his heart and soul into it turning it into a great article. Finally, Users Mtmelendez, Caribbean H.Q. and Boricuaeddie gave it it's finishing touch. The love, commitment and dedication into making this article an FAC, by all of these contributors exemplifies what Wikipedia is really all about. Tony the Marine 02:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments Is there any reason why "literally" is used here: "Betances was born in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, literally in the building that now houses..."? Also ref 31 probably needs to be fleshed out a bit instead of just having a URL. Title, author, date, etc. 69.202.63.165 15:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Response: "literally" was taken care of anonymously, and I took care of the URL reference. Your suggestions are welcome. Thanks. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 18:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
