Are the Philippine Turtle Islands part of the geographic archipelago of the Philippines?
If the answer is yes, are the Malaysian Turtle Islands which are as little as 2km from the Philippine Turtle Islands really in a different geographic archipelago?
If the answer is no, then we cannot accurately say that there are no political divisions in the geographic archipelago of the Philippines. Anegada ( talk) 00:22, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
This edit, removing this map from the article, caught my eye. The edit summary says, "Removed unsourced material [...]" and mentions an off-WP map. I'm expecting to be traveling beginning in a few days and may not be able to participate very much in discussion here about this, but I did some online searching today and found some useful items that I want to mention here.
The off-WP map mentioned in that edit summary can be seen here -- do a text search for Figure 1 and look at the first and third hits. The caption of that map says that it was redrawn from a composite of several open source maps. It's an interesting map but, if RS support is an issue, I don't see how it is necessarily any more or less reliable than the map the edit removed. It would probably need to be re-redrawn again for use on WP due to copyright issues.
Another map, this one apparently reflecting claims made in RP statute law, can be seen on page 40 of here. That copyright is probably owned by the author of that article, Lowell Bautista. I'm not an academic but I remember tat I had an exchange with him some years ago about including something of his in a WP article, and he was very accommodating. OTOH, I took a second look at the Bautista article and see that endnote 2 there credits that map to NAMRIA, so there are probably no copyright issues with using it on WP.
Some of that may be useful. (updated) Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 06:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
