Some questions about this radio station article have been raised and could use some input from someone more familiar with radio in Manila.-- Rtphokie ( talk) 16:36, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Just a heads-up. Article seems too fancrufty, the plot section's full of mishmash, and the character listings read like some suspense novel's jacket or back cover description. I watch this show whenever I can (the PMA angle just got me hooked a bit), but do we really need a ratings table on the article, man? -- Eaglestorm ( talk) 16:31, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
I have nominated Hello Pappy scandal for a GA review. ViperSnake151 20:36, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
I have just read in the Inquirer that Dondi Ledesma died a couple of days ago (see this link). I would like to know whether he was indeed a well-known musician, because I did not find an article here on wikipedia. Magalhães ( talk) 09:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Yes, Dondi Ledesma is certainly notable. He's recognized in Alternative OPM musician's circles as a legend, although this is more of underground recognition than popular recognition. But then, you could say the same thing of, say, Lucio San Pedro or Lucrecia Kasilag - it's simply a factor of our geography and the degree to which the general Philippine public has access to the finer aspects of certain arts. I wish I had my old Rock 'n Rhytm music magazines from the '90s. Or for that matter, I wish I had access to Ledesma's casettes back then! Sigh. Such is the life of one who lives in Agoo, La Union. When will your reign end, o Imperial Manila? -- Alternativity ( talk) 15:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
On the other hand, he's not nearly as notable as, say, Danny Javier. And just look at how short the Jim Paredes page is! (Er... not that big a fan, that's as far as I got before I lost steam. hehe. At least there's an APO Hiking Society page. Just gives proof of how much work we still have in front of us. Which, from another POV, is cool too. Creating new articles is FUN! -- Alternativity ( talk) 17:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Can you take a look on User:Mrfrease's contributions. S/he has changed images such as File:Yas-2.jpg to a non-free version and has uploaded other images with public domain or GFDL tags that are not his. I have followed the trail on File:Yasmien.jpg and it seems to be a public photo on friendster [1] with no declaration of PD and GFDL use. I also found other image problems in his/her talkpage. Help from more showbiz and image savvy peeps are appreciated.-- Lenticel ( talk) 04:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi everyone. I don't know a lot about the history of the Philippines. However this book does not seem notable to me and I've nominated it for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Fooling of America. Please join in the discussion if you like. Thanks. Northwestgnome ( talk) 16:01, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Heads up,folks, Ambeth Ocampo has noted a Verifiability issue regarding Category:National symbols of the Philippines at the end of yesterday's Looking Back issue. [2], and in his Adobo article a few columns back [3]. We'll want to look into it, I think. Bad press.
Let me quote the last paragraph:
There is no argument when it comes to: our national flag, our national anthem (“Lupang hinirang,” not “Bayang magiliw,” which are the first two words of the anthem), and the Great Seal of the Republic as described in our Constitution. We have no argument with sampaguita, narra, and the Philippine eagle that have been declared national by law. But look at Wikipedia, which has become the bible of this generation. This website has fed us “unofficial” national symbols, like cariñosa (national dance), anahaw (national leaf), mango (national fruit), etc. We are in for an exciting debate on this issue once the can of worms is opened.
Articles concerned include Cariñosa, Carabao, Bangus, Anahaw, Mango, Sipa, Barong, Baro't saya, José Rizal, and Template:Symbols_of_the_Philippines -- Alternativity ( talk) 18:31, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Come to think of it, we only have two “national” things established by law: sampaguita as the national flower and narra as the national tree. Everything else, I think, was invented by National Bookstore in those gaudy postcards and teaching aids they have been selling since I was a boy. What is the national animal? Is it the tamaraw or is it the monkey-eating eagle whose indigenous name we have all but forgotten? What is the national fish? Is it “bangus” [milkfish] or that smallest fish in the world from Bicol?
In this initial assertion, by the way, Ocampo forgot to cite the Philippine Eagle as also having been established by law as a national symbol. He does mention it in the symbols article cited above, which is was released I think two or three columns after the Adobo article, as a follow up. -- Alternativity ( talk) 02:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Jojit, I was just thinking those were what needed doing :-) Quite aside from this matter, we've got lots of work left to do on Philippines related articles, don't we? A Pinoy Wikipedian's work is never done. Yay. And Sigh at the same time. Sigh when the sources contradict each other. hehe. -- Alternativity ( talk) 03:21, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
And where DOES one find a tutorial for editing tables and templates, anyway? I've been afraid of doing so because my editing of tables and templates tend to cause a physical mess on the page. -- Alternativity ( talk) 03:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for the Table and Template links, Bill and - er - 122.248.16.2. That'll be a big help for me, that point in the right direction.-- Alternativity ( talk) 06:04, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
UPDATE: I created National symbols of the Philippines and edited Template:Symbols of the Philippines to settle the issue regarding national symbols. Please feel free to improve it. -- Jojit ( talk) 11:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Maybe someone wants to take a crack at improving this. Nothing tragically wrong with it, but it deserves improvement, especially since it is the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize and is Filipino in origin. I'll see what I can do, time permitting. -- Anyo Niminus ( talk) 07:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I added the expand template to this article. We know in Philippine history that Bonifacio was a remarkable figure, we should expand his biography here by full length like what we had in Jose Rizal's article. Maybe we should include some entries involving his early life, his life among Tondo streets, his reasons why he created Katipunan (not just by the entry saying "in 1896, he created Katipunan", this may create conflict among readers). We must also emphasized his family life, his involvement in different conventions, his election to Tejeros (if I am not mistaken) which he almost shoot Daniel Tirona, Emilio Aguinaldo's death sentence to him and the letter's supposed agenda, his tragic death, post lives of his wife (I know that his wife Oryang de Jesus re-married another hero in the Revolution), and Bonifacio in popular culture. Also, I may want to point out, where does the accent on e of Andres Bonifacio came from? I do not find any references or books in Philippine history that Bonifacio have that accent. Or maybe he really did but he insisted not to use it. I think maybe we should follow the name which Bonifacio have chosen, not our own preferences of hispanization of his very name. And finally, we should expand this page so that there is an egality among the two main heroes of Philippine history (Rizal and Bonifacio).

Now that the band is officially over and their last reunion just finished, why don't we finally revamp / organize the article? Their contributions to Pinoy Rock cannot equal any artist in the country. The article has looked messy for a long time, especially the "2008 - 2009 Reunion" section.
Why don't we make this article a featured article?

OK, so I'll give over 9000 internets for those who will collab with me on cleaning up this article. It is reeked with POV and so much ka-artihan, and I would like to ask some help regarding this issue... Blake Gripling ( talk) 12:51, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I'd like opinions on the List of fraternities and sororities in the Philippines page. I've gone through and done references for the Fraternities and Sororities I could find, although unfortunately some of the references are friendster pages and similar.

Today, I created the Palaris Revolt article, primarily by moving content from Philippine revolts against Spain#Palaris Revolt (1762-1765). The new article was very quickly tagged for speedy deletion as a copyright infringement of http://www.pangasinan.gov.ph/towns/palaris.htm. I have not looked and do not plan to look at that. I do note that the site said to be infringed apparently belongs to the government of Pangasinan, which may impact the copyright situation. I'm mentioning this here in case someone else might want to follow up on this. -- Boracay Bill ( talk) 03:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
I placed a {{ hangon}} in the article, referring reviewers to Philippine copyright law#Government copyright. I plan no further activity on this. -- Boracay Bill ( talk) 04:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
After I put it up for speedy deletion and subsequently kept, I followed it up and talked about the other provisions of the Sec. 176 of the Philippine IP code. Our discussion could be seen here and here. In the end we both agreed that instead of speedy deletion, we should consult with the appropriate Wiki group whether Philippine government works are under copyright or not, and if they qualify as materials that can be freely copied into the Wikipedia.
Thanks to everyone involved, we now have an opportunity to find out about the status of Philippine government works in Wikipedia. Now the question is, who should we consult about it? -- Aeon17x ( talk) 17:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
I have started a discussion of whether this article on what's a US military operation in the Philippines should include the entire war and whether it is appropriate to include casualty figures which are not presently sourced. Interested editors are invited to comment at Talk:Operation Enduring Freedom - Philippines. Nick-D ( talk) 10:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
The history buffs may want to take a look at this, especially as he is tagged as "one of the two greatest Spanish military leaders in the Philippines". In any case, the article appears Hispanic-centric and may benefit from an additional point of view. -- Anyo Niminus ( talk) 04:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Heads up... Someone just made a new, NOR section in the Pasma article and edited it so many times that I no longer know for certain what to do with it... is this what rollbacks are for? I'd just copy paste to the previous version, but I have a feeling the offender will just redo his edits, so perhaps admin attention is a better option?

I'm not actually very knowledgable yet but on first reading, I get the impression that I ought to bring this up here, although I'm not yet certain what to do with the article itself.

I'd like to ask contributors their opinion on a series of articles, some of which are more and some less related to the Philippines (but are all written by the same editor). While a lot of work has clearly gone into them, they're really awful and shouldn't stay in their current form for much longer. Should we convert them into stubs, or is there much of anything that can be salvaged? Here they are: Francisco Combés, Enrique of Malacca, Carlo Amoretti, First mass in the Philippines, Mazaua and Andrés de San Martín. - Biruitorul Talk 08:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh, for goodness' sake, I hadn't realized the (insert four letter word)ing "Luzon Empire" fiasco was still alive and with us. See Manila#Prehistory_and_indigenous_civilizations, folks.

An anonymous user, User:24.57.16.163 changed the birth date of former Philippine president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos from the established September 11, 1917 to September 11, 1912, citing the source "Justice Jose P. Laurel penned the ponencia (in People vs. Mariano Marcos, et. al, 70 Phil. 468) and was concurred by chief justice Avanceña and justices Imperial, Diaz, and Horilleno". This change ( dated February 21, 2009) has gone unnoticed, and has led to inconsistency in the article (The introduction part saying he was born in 1912, and the "early life" part stating that he was born in 1917, but contained a citation that was exactly the same as the statement used as a source to push his birth year five years earlier.) What should be done? - 203.87.194.142 ( talk) 13:16, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I tagged inline verifications on the introductory page of Ibong Adarna (mythology), the paragraph that says "Jose de la Cruz" was the author of such book. There has been a dispute who the real author was, and I can't believe that Huseng Sisiw is considered as the author of the book here in Wikipedia, without inserting any direct reference/s or so. And please, if we could ever expand the article regarding Jose de la Cruz, we can help each other hand by hand. Thanks.
I said so in reference with the Tagalog equivalent tl:Ibong Adarna, it says that Jose de la Cruz was the author. My literature teachers said that there has been an on-going dispute. Thanks again.-- The Wandering Traveler ( talk) 13:20, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Quite a contradiction in Zorro (Philippine TV series) - is the series set around 1800 or 1900? Lead star Gutierrez is quoted as 1900, but I suspect that may be an error on the web source since 1900 would be the American period already. I'm inclined to believe it's 1800 even though I haven't watched it so far. I intend to fix the article up a bit but this stops me dead in my tracks, lol. I just removed the 1800 date but marked the 1900 date as dubious. Uthanc ( talk) 11:33, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Ms. Pia Arroyo-Magalona
Wikipedia Contributor
Dear Ms. Magalona:
On behalf of the Philippine Wikimedia Community, we wish to express our deepest sympathy to you upon the passing away of your husband, Francis Magalona.
During Francis' many years in show business as a rapper, actor, singer-songwriter, director, host, and photographer, he distinguished himself among the greatest of his generation with his pleasant, enthusiastic manner and patriotism in his works. He was a valued Filipino, and you can be justly proud of his contributions. His friends and fellow artists remember him with respect and admiration and he will be missed by all.
We extend my condolences to you and your family. We hope that time and memories will help lessen the burden of your sorrow, and that you may draw some measure of comfort knowing that others care and share in your loss.
Sincerely,
Jojit Ballesteros Wikipedia Contributor on behalf of the The Philippine Wikimedia Community

I'm inclined to nominate for FPC (the picture version of FAC for those who don't know) or VPC (the picture version of GAC) two pictures of influential Philippine politicians which were uploaded recently, but I'm extremely uneasy over their chances, and would like to seek opinion first before doing so:
From the commoner's point of view, and considering the technical aspects of the FPC criteria, I'm ready to give both pictures a sure pass. However, the aesthetic criteria is a little bit harder to judge. Before I forward both pictures to picture peer review (or not), I hope to judge their chances by the response elicited here (I have a hint the latter has a better chance than the former). -- Sky Harbor ( talk) 13:59, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

This topic was brought up during a requested move from Literature of the Philippines to Philippine literature (see this discussion). The Wikipedia:Manual of style (Philippine-related articles) does not give real guidance so I'm bringing this topic up. My personal observation is that "Philippine" is used in official context (pertaining to the Philippines as a state). For example we have "Philippine government", "Philippine Embassy", and "Philippine Senate". "Filipino Senate" just sounds wrong. On the other hand, "Filipino" (and the deprecated "Pilipino" form) seems to be used as an adjective for cultural/ethnolingual concepts. For example, "Original Pilipino Music" and "Filipino cuisine". Now, some dictionaries and reliable sources prefer the use of "Philippine" as the exclusive adjective (see Talk:Philippine literature). Are there any reliable sources/examples that we can use to determine when to use "Philippine" and when to use "Filipino"? -- seav ( talk) 04:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

In relation with this discussion, there's been an argument in the Tagalog Wikipedia about the title of the article about Manila. Should it be Lungsod ng Maynila or simply Maynila? An editor in Tagalog Wikipedia argued that it should be Lungsod ng Maynila because it is the official name of the city, based on PSGC. But here in the English Wikipedia, the title of the equivalent article is Manila and not City of Manila, which is official. As far as I know, it is titled Manila because the most easily recognized name should be used. So, what do you think?

Yes, Dondi Ledesma is certainly notable. He's recognized in Alternative OPM musician's circles as a legend, although this is more of underground recognition than popular recognition. But then, you could say the same thing of, say, Lucio San Pedro or Lucrecia Kasilag - it's simply a factor of our geography and the degree to which the general Philippine public has access to the finer aspects of certain arts. I wish I had my old Rock 'n Rhytm music magazines from the '90s. Or for that matter, I wish I had access to Ledesma's casettes back then! Sigh. Such is the life of one who lives in Agoo, La Union.

Heads up,folks, Ambeth Ocampo has noted a Verifiability issue regarding Category:National symbols of the Philippines at the end of yesterday's Looking Back issue. [2], and in his Adobo article a few columns back [3]. We'll want to look into it, I think. Bad press.
Let me quote the last paragraph:
There is no argument when it comes to: our national flag, our national anthem (“Lupang hinirang,” not “Bayang magiliw,” which are the first two words of the anthem), and the Great Seal of the Republic as described in our Constitution. We have no argument with sampaguita, narra, and the Philippine eagle that have been declared national by law. But look at Wikipedia, which has become the bible of this generation. This website has fed us “unofficial” national symbols, like cariñosa (national dance), anahaw (national leaf), mango (national fruit), etc. We are in for an exciting debate on this issue once the can of worms is opened.
Articles concerned include Cariñosa, Carabao, Bangus, Anahaw, Mango, Sipa, Barong, Baro't saya, José Rizal, and Template:Symbols_of_the_Philippines -- Alternativity ( talk) 18:31, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Come to think of it, we only have two “national” things established by law: sampaguita as the national flower and narra as the national tree. Everything else, I think, was invented by National Bookstore in those gaudy postcards and teaching aids they have been selling since I was a boy. What is the national animal? Is it the tamaraw or is it the monkey-eating eagle whose indigenous name we have all but forgotten? What is the national fish? Is it “bangus” [milkfish] or that smallest fish in the world from Bicol?
In this initial assertion, by the way, Ocampo forgot to cite the Philippine Eagle as also having been established by law as a national symbol. He does mention it in the symbols article cited above, which is was released I think two or three columns after the Adobo article, as a follow up. -- Alternativity ( talk) 02:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I added the expand template to this article. We know in Philippine history that Bonifacio was a remarkable figure, we should expand his biography here by full length like what we had in Jose Rizal's article. Maybe we should include some entries involving his early life, his life among Tondo streets, his reasons why he created Katipunan (not just by the entry saying "in 1896, he created Katipunan", this may create conflict among readers). We must also emphasized his family life, his involvement in different conventions, his election to Tejeros (if I am not mistaken) which he almost shoot Daniel Tirona, Emilio Aguinaldo's death sentence to him and the letter's supposed agenda, his tragic death, post lives of his wife (I know that his wife Oryang de Jesus re-married another hero in the Revolution), and Bonifacio in popular culture. Also, I may want to point out, where does the accent on e of Andres Bonifacio came from? I do not find any references or books in Philippine history that Bonifacio have that accent. Or maybe he really did but he insisted not to use it. I think maybe we should follow the name which Bonifacio have chosen, not our own preferences of hispanization of his very name. And finally, we should expand this page so that there is an egality among the two main heroes of Philippine history (Rizal and Bonifacio).

I'd like to ask contributors their opinion on a series of articles, some of which are more and some less related to the Philippines (but are all written by the same editor). While a lot of work has clearly gone into them, they're really awful and shouldn't stay in their current form for much longer. Should we convert them into stubs, or is there much of anything that can be salvaged? Here they are: Francisco Combés, Enrique of Malacca, Carlo Amoretti, First mass in the Philippines, Mazaua and Andrés de San Martín. - Biruitorul Talk 08:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

An anonymous user, User:24.57.16.163 changed the birth date of former Philippine president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos from the established September 11, 1917 to September 11, 1912, citing the source "Justice Jose P. Laurel penned the ponencia (in People vs. Mariano Marcos, et. al, 70 Phil. 468) and was concurred by chief justice Avanceña and justices Imperial, Diaz, and Horilleno". This change ( dated February 21, 2009) has gone unnoticed, and has led to inconsistency in the article (The introduction part saying he was born in 1912, and the "early life" part stating that he was born in 1917, but contained a citation that was exactly the same as the statement used as a source to push his birth year five years earlier.)

Quite a contradiction in Zorro (Philippine TV series) - is the series set around 1800 or 1900? Lead star Gutierrez is quoted as 1900, but I suspect that may be an error on the web source since 1900 would be the American period already. I'm inclined to believe it's 1800 even though I haven't watched it so far. I intend to fix the article up a bit but this stops me dead in my tracks, lol.

Ms. Pia Arroyo-Magalona
Wikipedia Contributor
Dear Ms. Magalona:
On behalf of the Philippine Wikimedia Community, we wish to express our deepest sympathy to you upon the passing away of your husband, Francis Magalona.
During Francis' many years in show business as a rapper, actor, singer-songwriter, director, host, and photographer, he distinguished himself among the greatest of his generation with his pleasant, enthusiastic manner and patriotism in his works. He was a valued Filipino, and you can be justly proud of his contributions. His friends and fellow artists remember him with respect and admiration and he will be missed by all.
We extend my condolences to you and your family. We hope that time and memories will help lessen the burden of your sorrow, and that you may draw some measure of comfort knowing that others care and share in your loss.
Sincerely,
Jojit Ballesteros Wikipedia Contributor on behalf of the The Philippine Wikimedia Community

From the commoner's point of view, and considering the technical aspects of the FPC criteria, I'm ready to give both pictures a sure pass. However, the aesthetic criteria is a little bit harder to judge. Before I forward both pictures to picture peer review (or not), I hope to judge their chances by the response elicited here (I have a hint the latter has a better chance than the former). -- Sky Harbor ( talk) 13:59, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

This topic was brought up during a requested move from Literature of the Philippines to Philippine literature (see this discussion). The Wikipedia:Manual of style (Philippine-related articles) does not give real guidance so I'm bringing this topic up. My personal observation is that "Philippine" is used in official context (pertaining to the Philippines as a state). For example we have "Philippine government", "Philippine Embassy", and "Philippine Senate". "Filipino Senate" just sounds wrong. On the other hand, "Filipino" (and the deprecated "Pilipino" form) seems to be used as an adjective for cultural/ethnolingual concepts. For example, "Original Pilipino Music" and "Filipino cuisine". Now, some dictionaries and reliable sources prefer the use of "Philippine" as the exclusive adjective (see Talk:Philippine literature). Are there any reliable sources/examples that we can use to determine when to use "Philippine" and when to use "Filipino"? -- seav ( talk) 04:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

In relation with this discussion, there's been an argument in the Tagalog Wikipedia about the title of the article about Manila. Should it be Lungsod ng Maynila or simply Maynila? An editor in Tagalog Wikipedia argued that it should be Lungsod ng Maynila because it is the official name of the city, based on PSGC. But here in the English Wikipedia, the title of the equivalent article is Manila and not City of Manila, which is official. As far as I know, it is titled Manila because the most easily recognized name should be used. So, what do you think?
