These have been mass reverted linking to an already archived discussion months ago. There was previously consensus before there was an opposition to this by User:Katya2017 and there was no consensus on the archived discussion to revert to the original. Here's where we see on where the community stands on this. Howard the Duck ( talk) 01:36, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
The Liberal Party used to be represented by khaki , it is now represented by gold . PDP–Laban used to be represented by gold , but it is now represented by khaki . I cannot comprehend that I have to explain to an editor as experienced as yourself that arbitrarily swapping the pre-established colors of two parties causes confusion and inconsistency. What's worse is that these aren't two minor parties from some far off era. They are parties of the present ruling administration and the major opposition party. We now have a situation where critical articles relevant to present day politics are inaccurate because these colors are used in various places to represent both parties. For example, the gold polling line here represents Duterte of PDP–Laban but gold is used elsewhere in the article (including in the key to the same graph) to represent Roxas. If you want to use gold and khaki in the color scheme, I have no issue with that, they're perfectly good colors. But why not have the colors represent the parties they were already representing? This is not a defensible change.
The Nacionalista Party used to be represented by pale green . It is now represented by red . Akbayan is also represented by red . The two parties are of no affiliation to each other, both are major parties and both are represented in the Senate. Where we used to have all major parties represented by a unique shade, we now have major parties being represented by similar shades in the same Congress. This renders composition diagrams ambiguous where there once was clarity. This is not a defensible change.
You've impressively managed to mangle both of the above concerns into one in another very interesting case. The medium blue of the LDP is now used to represent Lakas–CMD , a party previously represented by pale blue . The LDP's new dark blue color is the same shade as the dark blue of KAMPI . Not only is this a case of two unaffiliated parties sharing the same shade in the same Congress ( 12th Congress and 13th Congress) but you've also transferred the medium blue when you could have used it to represent the party it was already representing thus needlessly causing further inconsistencies in the process. This decision becomes almost comically non-sensical when you consider that KAMPI is a party that was affiliated with and later merged into Lakas–CMD so if you really needed two parties to share a shade there's a seemingly obvious choice which parties to this scenario should—and it's not the two parties you've chosen. This is not a defensible change.
Prior to your changes, each major party had a distinct and unique shade that was used coherently throughout Wikipedia. Now, three months after the change, we have multiple major parties represented by very similar shades within the same Congress and incoherent use of the new colors across Wikipedia, at times even within the same article, including within critical articles on present day Philippine politics such as those of the last electoral cycle. The former color scheme is superior because it is concise and unambiguous. It should be restored. Katya2017 ( talk) 04:35, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Once again, you haven't even attempted to address my issues regarding ambiguity and inconsistency at all. Neither have you pointed me to the policy page stating that political party colors are supposed to be meaningful. Politics is not football—Senators don't wear football kits. Regarding my revert: 1. There was no consensus to not revert the colors. The July discussion had two participants, you and I, with no clear agreement. You simply stopped talking. 2. I reasonably assumed that your silence was a concession of my logic. 3. I did wait a full three months to see if my opinions on the colors changed but they haven't I still think they're inconceivably poor choices. Given I felt I had the better argument and you'd stopped talking, I reasonably opted for a bold revert. 4. Your reverting of my revert was unnecessarily aggressive given I've made clear my willingness to talk and you were the one who stopped talking first. You should have sought discussion instead of reverting.
Regardless, at this point it's clear we're not getting anywhere. If you feel this strongly on the matter move for dispute resolution. I've made my case in great detail above and am happy to let third parties decide. But I'm not happy to just stand aside while you implement changes that are ambiguous and confusing for reasons of "unofficial symbolism" based on an alleged Wikipedia policy you haven't quoted. Katya2017 ( talk) 12:49, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
It's also worth noting that me and User:Janbryan had already agreed on making the changes as discussed earlier this year, and you, User:Alternativity has said some change has to be done. Every election, someone asks about these colors, implying they'd be changed, or at least be discussed about, then I say, this is what we have been using since 2004, then they'll say, let's change it some other time. This is the time. I do hope other WP:PINOY people chime in to this, as it's important to get this right for the upcoming election. Howard the Duck ( talk) 02:07, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

This is my proposal. There are four main "types" of political organisations in the Philippines and we should deal with each type separately: major parties (which I'm defining as parties that have held the presidency, vice presidency, a Senate seat or more than a dozen seats in the House), political alliances (groupings, usually temporary, of multiple parties), party-lists (organisations that only contest the party-list election to the House of Representatives) and minor parties (national parties with minimal electoral success and small local parties that contest few national districts).
Every major party needs a unique, distinct and unconfusing color. I'd suggest political alliances should adopt the color of the most significant party within the alliance such as how K4 used the same power blue of Lakas–CMD or how LAMMP/ KNP both used the orange of PMP. Party-lists, as far as I can tell, don't really use color anywhere other than infoboxes on their own page. The House composition diagrams use a generic dark grey for all the party-list representatives. Perhaps we should use this neutral dark grey for all party-list organisations that don't qualify as major parties ( Akbayan) or political alliances ( Makabayan) as per the above definition. I'd also suggest using a common color for all minor parties for the simplicity of reducing the number of parties requiring a unique color. Perhaps a medium grey between the light grey used for independents and the dark grey used for the party-lists?
If this proposal is acceptable, it's simply a case of identifying the major parties and then arguing about what colors they should have. All the political alliances can be easily mapped over the top once we have an agreement while all the party-lists and minor parties can be converted en masse.

Seeing as the earlier list is getting a little unwieldly and Howard's (understandably) gone a little numb from repetition, I've thrown together a list of major parties and their old-scheme colors by era. Katya2017 ( talk) 16:14, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
First of all, I'm going to make a comment on your conduct here. You need to quit bringing up "reverted despite consensus" and "unilaterally reverted" in every comment you make. As I have previously explained, twice now I believe, after a very lengthy discussion in July in which I was not satisfied that you had answered my criticisms regarding the changes, you fell silent leading me to reasonably assume that you were conceding to the logic of my arguments. I waited a few months just to be sure that my rejection of your colors was actually based on objective faults rather than just unfamiliarity before figuring out that, sure enough, it was a flawed color scheme. After restoring the old color scheme you unreasonably, less than three hours later, unilaterally reverted my restorations without seeking dialogue or consensus. In response, I reverted and posted a very lengthy explanation as to why my reverts are necessary. An explanation you still haven't entirely addressed. It's becoming increasingly difficult to approach this conversation in good faith when you, at literally every irrelevant opportunity you get, choose to bring up your own infantile grudge. My reversions were absolutely justified. Your reversion was not. You may think otherwise. I don't care. Leave it behind.
Now, regarding the colors:
Katya2017 ( talk) 16:17, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
In April 2018, the Bantayog ng mga Bayani Foundation, – which maintains a Quezon City-based center containing a memorial, museum, and library dedicated to remembering and honoring the heroes, martyrs, and victims of the Philippines' Martial Law era under Ferdinand Marcos – invited a Wikipedian, User: Alternativity, to serve as Wikipedian-in-Residence for a 3-month pilot project. The pilot phase has been extended for another month until the end of July, while the Bantayog works out a way to transition the project into a longer-term program.
One of the things the project has tried to do was to help Bantayog’s network of volunteers and core constituents appreciate Wikipedia.
In the last four months, the project has worked on empowering Bantayog’s staff and core constituency through its series of “CrashCourse:Wikipedia” workshops. Four of these workshops have been held so far, with participants including Bantayog's research staff and museum administrators, Journalists, advocates, historians, economists, academic publishers, and Bantayog's group of volunteer School Lecturers - many of whom were themselves victims of torture and other Human Rights violations during the days of the dictatorship.
At first, some of these participants – especially those senior Journalists, who had cut their teeth while fighting media repression during the ‘70s and ‘80s – started out antagonistic to the idea of spending time and effort to build up a freely editable encyclopedia like Wikipedia, but the workshops soon convinced them of the importance of Wikipedia as tertiary literature. “Now that I’ve seen how much work goes into the process,” one esteemed Journalist remarked, “I’ve gained a new respect for the work Wikipedia does.”
Now that the project is looking at a potential expansion, it hopes to expand these events from Crash Course Workshops to full on Edit-a-Thons, tapping the resources of the Bantayog Library, and the contextual expertise of the Bantayog museum staff, and inviting Wikipedians who are interested in enhancing Wikipedia’s coverage regarding the heroes and martyrs who fought the Marcos dictatorship.
While a great many books about the Philippines’ Martial Law era have been written, many of these only got limited publishing runs and were dispersed unevenly through the Philippines’ various university Libraries. Because the Bantayog Library specializes in books of that era, it’s one of the best places in the world to have access to key print sources.
We’re trying to organize at least two Edit-a-Thons at the Bantayog during the last two weeks of July. Space is limited, unfortunately, so please please get in touch with the Bantayog ng mga Bayani’s Wikipedian in Residence at wir.public@gmail.com to coordinate your attendance. It’ll also let us update you regarding the themes and mechanics of the Edit-a-Thons, which will partly depend on which of Bantayog’s curators will be available to help facilitate the sessions.

I just read the long thread on the request to remove the Cebuano Wikipedia last year. I agree that we should not delete the Cebuano wikipedia as a whole since others did contribute using non-bot method. But because most of the article are just stub and do not add value to the wikipedia itself. I like to initiate a call to vote that the Philippines wikimedia chapter allows a mass deletion of the bot articles. I think this is already embarrassing that the Cebuano wiki will overtake English soon even though there really are no substantial real article. In the end a Filipino-based wikipedia community will be blamed as a reason why wikipedia quality has dropped as a whole because of inaction. I know there are only few active users in Cebuano wikipedia, hence the Philippine wikimedia chapter needs to take the initiative to do this. Other country wikimedian do not want to touch since it should come from the home wikimedia chapter. If we vote to delete the articles we can then ask the technical ways how to do it. ironically thru bot again. 202.246.252.97 ( talk) 11:48, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
{{
Infobox mapframe}}
Shouldn't we add OSM mapframes in every city or town pages using {{
Infobox mapframe}}
like in
here? The OSM Philippines community is active, but adding this to infoboxes ({{
Infobox settlement}}
) will encourage Wikipedia visitors to do some map improvements in their hometowns, so it will be a win-win situation for both OSM and Wikipedia.
As of now, there is no parameter in Infobox settlement
for an OSM mapframe, but it is being
discussed, so I used the image_map1
parameter to add the mapframe in the La Trinidad page. Any thoughts? —

Since the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) was ratified the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao is created and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is abolished according to BOL itself at least. This is stated in Article XV, Sec. 5.
However the media possibly due to journalists not being aware of this or the the fact that the actual interim Bangsamoro government is yet to be established despite the BOL nominally abolishing the ARMM and establishing the Bangsamoro, continues to mention the ARMM as still existing or describing the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonmous Region in a future tense. Including a Philippine News Agency report where Presidential Peace Adviro Galves states:

Hello everyone. I would like to ask for a discussion with regards to the Philippines' currency signs as this will affect a very large number of Philippine related articles. According to Chapter II, Article I, Section 48 of the Republic Act No. 7653 or the New Central Bank Act it states that:
SECTION 48. The Peso. — The unit of monetary value in the Philippines is the “peso,” which is represented by the sign “P.” The peso is divided into one hundred (100) equal parts called “centavos,” which are represented by the sign “c.”
This means that the Philippine currency signs that we use today, which is ₱ and the ¢ for the centavo, is a misconception as these are not the official signs. I have learned this last year, after I have attended a commercial law review in San Sebastian-Recoletos. The lecturer said that these ₱ and the ¢ signs were used during the time of the Central Bank of the Philippines and were abandoned or replaced after the enactment of the New Central Bank Act which had established the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. But I have researched the charter law of the Central Bank, and according to the said law:
SEC. 47. The peso.—The unit of monetary value in the Philippines is the “peso,” which is represented by the sign “P.” The peso is divided into one hundred equal parts called “centavos,” which are represented by the “c.”
So this means that even before the Central Bank time P and c were the official currency signs and not ₱ and the ¢.
So, what do you think? Should we change everything here in Wikipedia, especially in Philippine peso and Philippine peso sign articles? 'Cause if you ask me, I think we should.-- AR E N Z O Y 1 6A •t a l k• 15:29, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Any consensus if Rappler is a reliable source? Popular articles such as Rodrigo Duterte and other related pages ( Philippine Drug War, and Protests against Rodrigo Duterte) have several content cited as being from Rappler. In Rodrigo Duterte article itself, Rappler article titles use words and phrases that are either misleading or exaggerated. The difference with other older, established sources can clearly be seen in this edit I made on Rodrigo Duterte article, with Rappler showing more bias against the President than the more neutral sources. Besides, Rappler began just in 2012 and have been involved with alleged cases of "fake news". Any thoughts? – Sanglahi86 ( talk) 17:06, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

It's good to see a lot of Filipino native dishes being served for us on WP. Having said that, i am having serious doubts on the notability and even ingenuity of some of those food articles that have been put up here. Granted these are articles with foreign sounding names, and may appear authentic Malay at first, but..... sinabawang gulay??? I mean, come on. Lol That's when you dug up a few veggies from your fridge in their early rotting stages, and saw some leftover pieces of meat (or not), then you reach for those cute little chicken or beef stock cubes, drown them in running water, then bring it to a boil. I know whats next. Sinabawang isda and sinabawang manok! Lol It's not only too generic, but i worry that some chef is forcing his own recipe for something that could be really anything depending on taste, like sinabawan or sabaw could be however anyone wants it to be, if one decides to add tamarind paste to the mix so that itll taste a bit like sinigang (or ginger so it would taste like tinola), wouldnt it sinabawang gulay anymore even when its practically still a veggie soup?

I was about to move the External links section of an article I was just editing into the position I remember as having been long specified by WP:GTL, but I checked before moving it and found that the guideline on that at WP:GTL#Names and orders for section headings had been loosened up. I also saw there, "Some WikiProjects have developed their own style advice pages which include section naming and ordering recommendations. See Category:WikiProject style advice." I checked there and found no guidance for articles about the Philippines.

Dear fellow Tambayan dwellers,
In light of the new scholarship related to the golden statuette (new research suggests that it is not a Buddhist Tara but it is actually a Vajralasya of the Tantric Buddhist tradition) and re-examination of old materials regarding the naming of the statuette itself, it is now being discussed in the talk page what should be the new title of the Wiki article. Everyone interested is invited to participate in the discussion.

These have been mass reverted linking to an already archived discussion months ago. There was previously consensus before there was an opposition to this by User:Katya2017 and there was no consensus on the archived discussion to revert to the original. Here's where we see on where the community stands on this. Howard the Duck ( talk) 01:36, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
The Liberal Party used to be represented by khaki , it is now represented by gold . PDP–Laban used to be represented by gold , but it is now represented by khaki . I cannot comprehend that I have to explain to an editor as experienced as yourself that arbitrarily swapping the pre-established colors of two parties causes confusion and inconsistency. What's worse is that these aren't two minor parties from some far off era. They are parties of the present ruling administration and the major opposition party. We now have a situation where critical articles relevant to present day politics are inaccurate because these colors are used in various places to represent both parties. For example, the gold polling line here represents Duterte of PDP–Laban but gold is used elsewhere in the article (including in the key to the same graph) to represent Roxas. If you want to use gold and khaki in the color scheme, I have no issue with that, they're perfectly good colors. But why not have the colors represent the parties they were already representing? This is not a defensible change.
The Nacionalista Party used to be represented by pale green . It is now represented by red . Akbayan is also represented by red . The two parties are of no affiliation to each other, both are major parties and both are represented in the Senate. Where we used to have all major parties represented by a unique shade, we now have major parties being represented by similar shades in the same Congress. This renders composition diagrams ambiguous where there once was clarity. This is not a defensible change.
You've impressively managed to mangle both of the above concerns into one in another very interesting case. The medium blue of the LDP is now used to represent Lakas–CMD , a party previously represented by pale blue . The LDP's new dark blue color is the same shade as the dark blue of KAMPI . Not only is this a case of two unaffiliated parties sharing the same shade in the same Congress ( 12th Congress and 13th Congress) but you've also transferred the medium blue when you could have used it to represent the party it was already representing thus needlessly causing further inconsistencies in the process. This decision becomes almost comically non-sensical when you consider that KAMPI is a party that was affiliated with and later merged into Lakas–CMD so if you really needed two parties to share a shade there's a seemingly obvious choice which parties to this scenario should—and it's not the two parties you've chosen. This is not a defensible change.
Prior to your changes, each major party had a distinct and unique shade that was used coherently throughout Wikipedia. Now, three months after the change, we have multiple major parties represented by very similar shades within the same Congress and incoherent use of the new colors across Wikipedia, at times even within the same article, including within critical articles on present day Philippine politics such as those of the last electoral cycle. The former color scheme is superior because it is concise and unambiguous. It should be restored. Katya2017 ( talk) 04:35, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Once again, you haven't even attempted to address my issues regarding ambiguity and inconsistency at all. Neither have you pointed me to the policy page stating that political party colors are supposed to be meaningful. Politics is not football—Senators don't wear football kits. Regarding my revert: 1. There was no consensus to not revert the colors. The July discussion had two participants, you and I, with no clear agreement. You simply stopped talking. 2. I reasonably assumed that your silence was a concession of my logic. 3. I did wait a full three months to see if my opinions on the colors changed but they haven't I still think they're inconceivably poor choices. Given I felt I had the better argument and you'd stopped talking, I reasonably opted for a bold revert. 4. Your reverting of my revert was unnecessarily aggressive given I've made clear my willingness to talk and you were the one who stopped talking first. You should have sought discussion instead of reverting.
Regardless, at this point it's clear we're not getting anywhere. If you feel this strongly on the matter move for dispute resolution. I've made my case in great detail above and am happy to let third parties decide. But I'm not happy to just stand aside while you implement changes that are ambiguous and confusing for reasons of "unofficial symbolism" based on an alleged Wikipedia policy you haven't quoted. Katya2017 ( talk) 12:49, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
It's also worth noting that me and User:Janbryan had already agreed on making the changes as discussed earlier this year, and you, User:Alternativity has said some change has to be done. Every election, someone asks about these colors, implying they'd be changed, or at least be discussed about, then I say, this is what we have been using since 2004, then they'll say, let's change it some other time. This is the time. I do hope other WP:PINOY people chime in to this, as it's important to get this right for the upcoming election. Howard the Duck ( talk) 02:07, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

This is my proposal. There are four main "types" of political organisations in the Philippines and we should deal with each type separately: major parties (which I'm defining as parties that have held the presidency, vice presidency, a Senate seat or more than a dozen seats in the House), political alliances (groupings, usually temporary, of multiple parties), party-lists (organisations that only contest the party-list election to the House of Representatives) and minor parties (national parties with minimal electoral success and small local parties that contest few national districts).
Every major party needs a unique, distinct and unconfusing color. I'd suggest political alliances should adopt the color of the most significant party within the alliance such as how K4 used the same power blue of Lakas–CMD or how LAMMP/ KNP both used the orange of PMP. Party-lists, as far as I can tell, don't really use color anywhere other than infoboxes on their own page. The House composition diagrams use a generic dark grey for all the party-list representatives. Perhaps we should use this neutral dark grey for all party-list organisations that don't qualify as major parties ( Akbayan) or political alliances ( Makabayan) as per the above definition. I'd also suggest using a common color for all minor parties for the simplicity of reducing the number of parties requiring a unique color. Perhaps a medium grey between the light grey used for independents and the dark grey used for the party-lists?
If this proposal is acceptable, it's simply a case of identifying the major parties and then arguing about what colors they should have. All the political alliances can be easily mapped over the top once we have an agreement while all the party-lists and minor parties can be converted en masse.

Seeing as the earlier list is getting a little unwieldly and Howard's (understandably) gone a little numb from repetition, I've thrown together a list of major parties and their old-scheme colors by era. Katya2017 ( talk) 16:14, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
First of all, I'm going to make a comment on your conduct here. You need to quit bringing up "reverted despite consensus" and "unilaterally reverted" in every comment you make. As I have previously explained, twice now I believe, after a very lengthy discussion in July in which I was not satisfied that you had answered my criticisms regarding the changes, you fell silent leading me to reasonably assume that you were conceding to the logic of my arguments. I waited a few months just to be sure that my rejection of your colors was actually based on objective faults rather than just unfamiliarity before figuring out that, sure enough, it was a flawed color scheme. After restoring the old color scheme you unreasonably, less than three hours later, unilaterally reverted my restorations without seeking dialogue or consensus. In response, I reverted and posted a very lengthy explanation as to why my reverts are necessary. An explanation you still haven't entirely addressed. It's becoming increasingly difficult to approach this conversation in good faith when you, at literally every irrelevant opportunity you get, choose to bring up your own infantile grudge. My reversions were absolutely justified. Your reversion was not. You may think otherwise. I don't care. Leave it behind.
Now, regarding the colors:

In April 2018, the Bantayog ng mga Bayani Foundation, – which maintains a Quezon City-based center containing a memorial, museum, and library dedicated to remembering and honoring the heroes, martyrs, and victims of the Philippines' Martial Law era under Ferdinand Marcos – invited a Wikipedian, User: Alternativity, to serve as Wikipedian-in-Residence for a 3-month pilot project. The pilot phase has been extended for another month until the end of July, while the Bantayog works out a way to transition the project into a longer-term program.
One of the things the project has tried to do was to help Bantayog’s network of volunteers and core constituents appreciate Wikipedia.
In the last four months, the project has worked on empowering Bantayog’s staff and core constituency through its series of “CrashCourse:Wikipedia” workshops. Four of these workshops have been held so far, with participants including Bantayog's research staff and museum administrators, Journalists, advocates, historians, economists, academic publishers, and Bantayog's group of volunteer School Lecturers - many of whom were themselves victims of torture and other Human Rights violations during the days of the dictatorship.
At first, some of these participants – especially those senior Journalists, who had cut their teeth while fighting media repression during the ‘70s and ‘80s – started out antagonistic to the idea of spending time and effort to build up a freely editable encyclopedia like Wikipedia, but the workshops soon convinced them of the importance of Wikipedia as tertiary literature. “Now that I’ve seen how much work goes into the process,” one esteemed Journalist remarked, “I’ve gained a new respect for the work Wikipedia does.”
Now that the project is looking at a potential expansion, it hopes to expand these events from Crash Course Workshops to full on Edit-a-Thons, tapping the resources of the Bantayog Library, and the contextual expertise of the Bantayog museum staff, and inviting Wikipedians who are interested in enhancing Wikipedia’s coverage regarding the heroes and martyrs who fought the Marcos dictatorship.
While a great many books about the Philippines’ Martial Law era have been written, many of these only got limited publishing runs and were dispersed unevenly through the Philippines’ various university Libraries. Because the Bantayog Library specializes in books of that era, it’s one of the best places in the world to have access to key print sources.
We’re trying to organize at least two Edit-a-Thons at the Bantayog during the last two weeks of July. Space is limited, unfortunately, so please please get in touch with the Bantayog ng mga Bayani’s Wikipedian in Residence at wir.public@gmail.com to coordinate your attendance. It’ll also let us update you regarding the themes and mechanics of the Edit-a-Thons, which will partly depend on which of Bantayog’s curators will be available to help facilitate the sessions.

I just read the long thread on the request to remove the Cebuano Wikipedia last year. I agree that we should not delete the Cebuano wikipedia as a whole since others did contribute using non-bot method. But because most of the article are just stub and do not add value to the wikipedia itself. I like to initiate a call to vote that the Philippines wikimedia chapter allows a mass deletion of the bot articles. I think this is already embarrassing that the Cebuano wiki will overtake English soon even though there really are no substantial real article. In the end a Filipino-based wikipedia community will be blamed as a reason why wikipedia quality has dropped as a whole because of inaction. I know there are only few active users in Cebuano wikipedia, hence the Philippine wikimedia chapter needs to take the initiative to do this. Other country wikimedian do not want to touch since it should come from the home wikimedia chapter. If we vote to delete the articles we can then ask the technical ways how to do it. ironically thru bot again. 202.246.252.97 ( talk) 11:48, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
{{

Shouldn't we add OSM mapframes in every city or town pages using {{
Infobox mapframe}}
like in
here? The OSM Philippines community is active, but adding this to infoboxes ({{
Infobox settlement}}
) will encourage Wikipedia visitors to do some map improvements in their hometowns, so it will be a win-win situation for both OSM and Wikipedia.
As of now, there is no parameter in Infobox settlement
for an OSM mapframe, but it is being

Since the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) was ratified the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao is created and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is abolished according to BOL itself at least. This is stated in Article XV, Sec. 5.
However the media possibly due to journalists not being aware of this or the the fact that the actual interim Bangsamoro government is yet to be established despite the BOL nominally abolishing the ARMM and establishing the Bangsamoro, continues to mention the ARMM as still existing or describing the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonmous Region in a future tense. Including a Philippine News Agency report where Presidential Peace Adviro Galves states:

Hello everyone. I would like to ask for a discussion with regards to the Philippines' currency signs as this will affect a very large number of Philippine related articles. According to Chapter II, Article I, Section 48 of the Republic Act No. 7653 or the New Central Bank Act it states that:
SECTION 48. The Peso. — The unit of monetary value in the Philippines is the “peso,” which is represented by the sign “P.” The peso is divided into one hundred (100) equal parts called “centavos,” which are represented by the sign “c.”
This means that the Philippine currency signs that we use today, which is ₱ and the ¢ for the centavo, is a misconception as these are not the official signs. I have learned this last year, after I have attended a commercial law review in San Sebastian-Recoletos. The lecturer said that these ₱ and the ¢ signs were used during the time of the Central Bank of the Philippines and were abandoned or replaced after the enactment of the New Central Bank Act which had established the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. But I have researched the charter law of the Central Bank, and according to the said law:
SEC. 47. The peso.—The unit of monetary value in the Philippines is the “peso,” which is represented by the sign “P.” The peso is divided into one hundred equal parts called “centavos,” which are represented by the “c.”
So this means that even before the Central Bank time P and c were the official currency signs and not ₱ and the ¢.
So, what do you think? Should we change everything here in Wikipedia, especially in Philippine peso and Philippine peso sign articles? 'Cause if you ask me, I think we should.-- AR E N Z O Y 1 6A •t a l k• 15:29, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Any consensus if Rappler is a reliable source? Popular articles such as Rodrigo Duterte and other related pages ( Philippine Drug War, and Protests against Rodrigo Duterte) have several content cited as being from Rappler. In Rodrigo Duterte article itself, Rappler article titles use words and phrases that are either misleading or exaggerated. The difference with other older, established sources can clearly be seen in this edit I made on Rodrigo Duterte article, with Rappler showing more bias against the President than the more neutral sources. Besides, Rappler began just in 2012 and have been involved with alleged cases of "fake news". Any thoughts? – Sanglahi86 ( talk) 17:06, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

It's good to see a lot of Filipino native dishes being served for us on WP. Having said that, i am having serious doubts on the notability and even ingenuity of some of those food articles that have been put up here. Granted these are articles with foreign sounding names, and may appear authentic Malay at first, but..... sinabawang gulay??? I mean, come on. Lol That's when you dug up a few veggies from your fridge in their early rotting stages, and saw some leftover pieces of meat (or not), then you reach for those cute little chicken or beef stock cubes, drown them in running water, then bring it to a boil. I know whats next. Sinabawang isda and sinabawang manok! Lol It's not only too generic, but i worry that some chef is forcing his own recipe for something that could be really anything depending on taste, like sinabawan or sabaw could be however anyone wants it to be, if one decides to add tamarind paste to the mix so that itll taste a bit like sinigang (or ginger so it would taste like tinola), wouldnt it sinabawang gulay anymore even when its practically still a veggie soup?

I also saw there, "Some WikiProjects have developed their own style advice pages which include section naming and ordering recommendations. See Category:WikiProject style advice." I checked there and found no guidance for articles about the Philippines.

So I have pictures of memorabilia (bust, medals, etc) and primary sources of deceased politicians taken from public museums. To what extent can I upload them on Wikimedia? Can I upload them at all? Verbosmithie ( talk) 01:18, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

It's me again. I was looking for the right category for politicians who were part of the 1st and 2nd Congress of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. So far, I've found none even Category:Members_of_historical_legislatures_in_the_Philippines. Are these subcategories worth making? Thanks again. Verbosmithie ( talk) 03:34, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
I have another question. How to put map in infobox? I'm looking at this Cebu Provincial Capitol. I already included the coordinates in Rizal Library, but it just doesn't seem to work. Thoughts? Verbosmithie ( talk) 12:25, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi all,
I have
declined the speedy deletion of this article. Looking at the deleted versions, it appears the deletion discussion was about a
The Smashing Pumpkins song. Please let me know if I can assist with this in any way.

Dear fellow Tambayan dwellers,
In light of the new scholarship related to the golden statuette (new research suggests that it is not a Buddhist Tara but it is actually a Vajralasya of the Tantric Buddhist tradition) and re-examination of old materials regarding the naming of the statuette itself, it is now being discussed in the talk page what should be the new title of the Wiki article. Everyone interested is invited to participate in the discussion.
