I heard this from a Facebook group, but the news either way is not good. Kgargar, who in real life is a field scientist, is currently being held by the AFP on suspicion of being a member of the New People's Army ( link here) after being caught in the crossfire of an armed excursion of the 67th Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army and the NPA in Cateel, Davao Oriental, where he was doing field work. News of his detention have made it to local (Davao-based) media such as the Sun.Star Superbalita Davao ( link here).

Can an administrator take a look at User:Philipandrew, please. The user seems to be new and a bit hypernationalistic in his edits, and is engaging in rather blatant sockpuppetry to bolster his arguments in Talk:List of Filipino inventions and discoveries. The accounts were all created within the same day, all of them give barnstars to Philipandrew and all of them make the same mistakes in English (e.g. "Specially").
I've tried to warn him several times in an effort to avoid him getting banned, but he doesn't seem to listen. Despite the headaches he's caused in the past few days, I'm still AGF-ing and hoping he can still contribute positively on Philippine-related topics in the future. Maybe he'll listen to an administrator. But yeah, those sockpuppets need to be killed in the meantime.-- OBSIDIAN† SOUL 19:15, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

I don't have the time or the patience mental-emotional capacity for totally rewriting
Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway right now, although I suppose I could probably get to it in the next month or two. Some of you might want to take a crack at it? I find it disorganized, in many places written like a promo piece, and often internally redundant - largely because it has grown in small increments as sources about construction updates became available over the years. So. For your consideration, folks :D -

I regret that I cannot make any of the pictures in this album on Flickr public domain as they have only recently been recovered from storage and are family property, but I would appreciate help identifying some of the locations shown, perhaps some of the people. My grandfather was in the US Army and served in the Musical Corps as well as in the medical corps, work that included him serving as photographer. Many of these are casual pictures, others appear to be portraits of notable individuals and personages, Filipino and American. I have identified one picture as being that of Manila Cathedral but while looking through other church articles here on Wikipedia, there are so many in the Philippines I'm a bit overwhelmed. Some of the non-church photos may be identifiable by style of clothing or a bit of landscape or the style of roof. Some pics are scenics and are just plain remarkable - grandpa was a good photographer - this one has a church or monastery building in the background that probably was a military target in times afterwards (because of size and fortifiable location?) and no longer stands. some appear to be ceremonials of some kind, others glimpses of Filipino life and upper class society. I could keep on commenting on some to get your interest, but easier at this point to refer to to the gallery again and ask you to add comments. This one, though, is my favourite and this one is of my grandfather, Endre Johannes Cleven. Help identifying the locations and whatever else in these images would be greatly appreciated....next time I go to the Philippines I'd like to visit the places he was at. 70.68.136.193 ( talk) 04:37, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Since the 10th anniversary of the Tagalog Wikipedia is coming up, it's probably appropriate for me to talk about this. It would probably a good idea to promote and encourage editing of Philippine language Wikipedias. It's true that most Filipinos can understand at least some English, but it would also be a good idea to build our own Wikipedias. The Tagalog Wikipedia could use some more love (most of its content is short or hasn't been updated in a while, and it currently only has around 20 featured articles). The Cebuano and Waray-Waray Wikipedias could also be promoted more (right now they're bigger than the Tagalog Wikipedia but have less active editors). Any thoughts?

Article name: Escolta Street (Escolta, Manila)
Topic: Reviewing of article for finalizing from authority.
To whom it may concern,
I would Wikipedia Tambayan to review and go through the article regarding the Escolta Street in Manila for further publishing to make the article sufficient, productive and ready to be official for public common knowledge and historical government topics. I kindly ask to rate the topic for level of importance and correct licensing of correct information displayed within the article.

The Iloilo International Airport article could use some additional comments. Over at Talk:Iloilo International Airport I have been in a discussion with another editor about whether the article should even mention the name "Santa Barbara Airport". I argue that the article should mention the name since that name is common, even if inaccurate, and can be seen in histories of World War II and in Lonely Planet guidebooks. User:Tumandokkangcabatuan argues that it is a "lie" that should not be spread by Wikipedia. I have proposed a solution. Other editors comments are needed I think if we are to reach a WP:Consensus.

Dear editors: The above abandoned submission at Afc was declined for improper referencing - it had many incorrectly titled references to the organization's own web site and nothing else. I have fixed that up and resubmitted it. However, when I checked the template at the bottom of the article, I found that there are many similar articles for other years, and none of the ones that I checked have any references at all. This is a widely reported award, and the references for 2011 were easy to find. If anyone is looking for a project, improving the referencing on the other years would be a worthy task; otherwise, they may end up tagged or even deleted, as this one almost was. Thanks! — Anne Delong ( talk) 14:06, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
I think we better keep an eye on this user and his/her sockpuppets - the user's mostly a nuisance, with his/her modus consisting of copy-pasting content from showbiz articles into a new yet similarly-named page for no apparent reason, and creating hoaxed pages about a certain child actress named "Andrea Villegas" or some other made-up BLP, complete with cutpasted text and poor grammar. For that I promptly filed a SPA complaint against him, but I do need some backup on this issue should he spawn some more alt accounts. Blake Gripling ( talk) 07:56, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Following on this, I've created a {{ data Philippines}} template, and plan to start using it in articles. If anyone has objections or comments, please speak up here or on the template talk page. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:26, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Could the data be taken from https://www.wikidata.org ? Androoox ( talk) 19:44, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
A couple of weeks ago, I created Template:Data Philippines. Here, I used info from there in the Philippines article. The calculation of population density figures there seemed overly messy and complicated, so I created the {{ Data/popdens}} template (I have not yet added info on that to {{ Show data}}, but I plan to do that soon). Today, here, I redid the density bits in the Philippines article to use {{ Data/popdens}}.
I jumped the gun a bit on that last edit to the Phillippines article because this edit to the Luzon article caught my eye today. I have not calculated a current population figure based on 2010 population figures and growth rates given in the 2010 Census and Housing Population source cited in the article to verify the replacement figure, but it strikes me that the availability of this supporting source invites supplementing {{ Data Philippines}} with additional Data templates for Philippine Regions, Provinces, and Municipalities (similar to subnational units in the Netherlands -- see links for entries under N in Category:Data templates). I'm not interested in tackling this myself right now (but might be, as I get time). I thought that I would mention this here in case others are interested. This looks like a natural for a stepwise approach -- first the regions, then the provinces, then the cities, then notable municipalities.
However, there is some messiness here which I think needs explanation and, possibly, consensus.
I come up with the following regional and national figures:
Region | Population[ [4] | Land Area[
[5] (hectares) |
National Capital Region | 11,855,975 | missing |
CAR - Cordillera Administrative Region | 1,616,867 | 1,942,203 |
REGION I (Ilocos Region) | 4,748,372 | 1,301,260 |
REGION II (Cagayan Valley) | 3,229,163 | 2,822,883 |
REGION III (Central Luzon) | 10,137,737 | 2,201,463 |
REGION IV-A (CALABARZON) | 12,609,803 | 1,687,331 |
REGION IV-B (MIMAROPA) | 2,744,671 | 2,962,087 |
REGION V (Bicol Region) | 5,420,411 | 1,815,582 |
REGION VI (Western Visayas) | 7,102,438 | 2,079,418 |
REGION VII (Central Visayas) | 6,800,180 | 1,588,597 |
REGION VIII (Eastern Visayas) | 4,101,322 | 2,325,110 |
REGION IX (Zamboanga Peninsula) | 3,407,353 | 1,682,291 |
REGION X (Northern Mindanao) | 4,297,323 | 2,049,602 |
REGION XI (Davao Region) | 4,468,563 | 2,035,742 |
REGION XII (Soccsksargen) | 4,109,571 | 2,233,730 |
REGION XIII (Caraga) | 2,429,224 | 2,147,835 |
ARMM - Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao | 3,256,140 | 3,351,142 |

Hello fellow Wikipedians, perhaps you can spare 5–10 minutes of your time to answer this thesis questionnaire regarding " The Significance of Wikipedia's Editing Process to its Published Articles as Perceived by Selected Local Contributors. -- Namayan ( talk) 01:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Following on this, I've created a {{ data Philippines}} template, and plan to start using it in articles. If anyone has objections or comments, please speak up here or on the template talk page. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:26, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Could the data be taken from https://www.wikidata.org ? Androoox ( talk) 19:44, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
A couple of weeks ago, I created Template:Data Philippines. Here, I used info from there in the Philippines article. The calculation of population density figures there seemed overly messy and complicated, so I created the {{ Data/popdens}} template (I have not yet added info on that to {{ Show data}}, but I plan to do that soon). Today, here, I redid the density bits in the Philippines article to use {{ Data/popdens}}.
I jumped the gun a bit on that last edit to the Phillippines article because this edit to the Luzon article caught my eye today. I have not calculated a current population figure based on 2010 population figures and growth rates given in the 2010 Census and Housing Population source cited in the article to verify the replacement figure, but it strikes me that the availability of this supporting source invites supplementing {{ Data Philippines}} with additional Data templates for Philippine Regions, Provinces, and Municipalities (similar to subnational units in the Netherlands -- see links for entries under N in Category:Data templates). I'm not interested in tackling this myself right now (but might be, as I get time). I thought that I would mention this here in case others are interested. This looks like a natural for a stepwise approach -- first the regions, then the provinces, then the cities, then notable municipalities.
However, there is some messiness here which I think needs explanation and, possibly, consensus.
I come up with the following regional and national figures:
