User talk:Marine 69-71
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?
