So what's the problem? -- Noypi380 09:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
"...most of whom were members of the masses..."
And by that the author means what, exactly? You have to understand that the Filipino word "masa" is used in an entirely different context and that by simply translating it one-to-one into its English equivalent would not mean the same thing. I believe there could be a more appropriate way to to describe the group of people being identified in this particular phrase.
Since this one didn't work out, the "EDSA III" name is now disputed. How about 2007 Malacanang siege? But that would pertain to the night of April 30-May 1 exclusively, leaving out events on the earlier days. Any suggestions? -- Howard the Duck 08:53, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Maybe just indicate that the 'name' of the event is currently disputed with a list of names that it's been called so people can search for it. The important thing is that they can find it, right? I live in the Philippines, and I hear the term "EDSA 3/III" most often but I'm not sure what else is used. mentat 1:56, 02 August 2007 (+8 GMT)
I checked the CNN article that's listed as a reference but there's no mention of this figure. I'm thinking of removing the sentence claiming this on the 6th of February if we don't get a reference. -- Edward Sandstig ( talk) 11:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
EDSA I was a successful 'peaceful' revolt against President Ferdinand E. Marcos.
EDSA II was a successful 'peaceful' revolt against President Joseph E. Estrada.
Viewing things on them, there has been no EDSA III.
The so called "EDSA III" staged against President Gloria M. Arroyo was just any of several more attempts to oust or to demand for an ouster of a President that never made it. They did not have the total ingredients of the two previously successful EDSA revolts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RLTJ ( talk • contribs) 02:37, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Being bold, and hoping that I wouldn't step on anyone's toes, I tried to move EDSA Revolution to EDSA Revolution (disambiguation). There is discussion above from several years back about this page and so I post here and say please go to the talk page of EDSA Revolution to comment. -- Bruce Hall ( talk) 05:21, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: nomination withdrawn. Jenks24 ( talk) 15:53, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
– The current titles are too ambigious and are easily confused with wasch other. There should be a distinct title for the the two since the results are different and naming each the same title is controversial. Shhhhwwww!! ( talk) 08:25, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
