Rafael Carrión, Sr.

edit

Thank you for your addition to the article on "Rafael Carrión, Sr.". Wikipedia policy requires that all additions or edits to content be cited with a reliable verifiable source, otherwise said addition will be removed. I believe that you have unintentionally disrupted the "Early years" format with the following addition:

"From humble beginnings and only an eighth grade education he went on to become a top businessman in Puerto Rico and very well respected in financial circles in New York where he served as a Director to Chemical Bank of NY."

  • Vmarxuach, believe me, it is great that you are the grand-daughter of such an important person. However, we have no way of confirming that and policy still requires that you provide us with a reliable source. The information about the Carrions being wealthy was once obtained from the "El Nuevo Dia". Did they referrer to the present economic status or past, I don't know since they weren't clear on that and I no longer have a copy of said paper. It would be great if you provided us with evidence, thereby enriching the article. It is our aim to have an article as acurate as possible. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:36, 25 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • I am hoping that you provide us with the information that we requested because I have a feeling that, if true, the article will much more interesting and will serve as an inspiration to others as to how a person with only an 8th grade education was able to become the President of the largest Hispanic Bank in the United States. If you need any help in processing the information, please let me know. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:13, 25 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
