Currently, it is "Member - Start - End - Congress - Party - Electoral history - Constituent LGUs". I'm proposing to change it to "Member - Start - End - Party - Electoral history - Congress - Constituent LGUs". Reasons:
There are 200+ congressional districts currently, and around 50+ defunct ones, and I dunno if all articles are made by now. Since this will affect hundreds of articles, and that we have settled on the current setup, a discussion like this is warranted. Ultimately, this is also how other government position lists should be handled, but that's for another day. Howard the Duck ( talk) 01:25, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Just reverted an IP edit that removed what can be said to be historical media circuses and replaced them with completely recent events, but doesn't appear to have been a center of much hype and attached sources might not say so.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I note with some interest that some editors have begun adding "Sr." to the name of Ferdinand Marcos Sr., which is not wrong in itself, but to my knowledge does not yet have a standard style on Wikipedia based on consensus. Most of the time, he's still just called Ferdinand Marcos. I suggest we decide on a standard style here, before this gets confusing. - MistahPeemayer ( talk) 07:11, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

I've noticed that a lot of road articles using the PHLint template tend to have filled in data for the kilometers of certain intersections along the road. However, based on the DPWH Road and Bridge Inventory ( direct link), it provides the location of kilometer markers but not the exact kilometers at any given point of the map.
Some examples of this can be found in the intersections tables of Aspiras–Palispis Highway and EDSA where there are kilometer numbers in decimals and for intersections not precisely located at kilometer markers. Does anyone know what's the basis of those and how would I be able to compute them? Ganmatthew ( talk • contribs) 02:59, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

This may be a dumb question, but was the city of Manila ever part of a region (perhaps Southern Tagalog, since it was the closest) prior to the creation of the National Capital Region (NCR)? If so, when Metro Manila was carved out of the province of Rizal in 1975, was it still part of Southern Tagalog (since it has yet to be designated as the NCR)?
Another thing, a line from the Metro Manila article says On November 7, 1975, Metro Manila was formally established through Presidential Decree No. 824. The Metropolitan Manila Commission was also created to manage the region (take note that it says region); however, it wasn't until 1978 when Metro Manila became a region. — hueman1 ( talk • contributions) 08:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

I've noticed that the majority of Filipino celebrity articles specifically tend to overload/overstate their occupations in their lead sentences with every possible permutation of their job as a "celebrity", violating the guidelines stipulated on MOS:OPENPARABIO/ MOS:ROLEBIO. For example, a lot of people wrote "singer" and "dancer" not because they've recorded an album or are known as a career dancer, but simply because they probably sang and danced in ASAP a few times. Another common one is "model", because they posed for a clothing line or magazine covers, and "endorser" because they appeared in commercials and billboards. I'd argue these are all pretty standard work for most celebrities in the Philippines.
Some are easy enough to edit out, but where do we draw the line for some roles? Can an actor really be considered a singer because Star Magic made them record a sappy love song or two with a loveteam partner? Does being contractually obligated to dance in a variety show counts as being a professional "dancer"? What sets apart a "model" from an attractive actor? Is being a vlogger a valid occupation for someone already famous for being an actor? Is "endorser" even a real job?

So I was creating Category:Chairpersons of the Commission on Audit (Philippines), then there's this Category:Commissioners of constitutional commissions of the Philippines, and I figured, why not a category of commissioners for each commission?
Until I realize that "Commissioner of the Commission on Elections" sounds awkward. However, category names are pluralized, so "Commissioners of the Commission on Elections" doesn't sound that awkward. Of course common parlance refers to these people as "COMELEC commissioners" (COA and CSC are much less mainstream than the COMELEC, so the terms "COA commissioner" and "CSC commissioner" may not be as popular); how should these commissioner categories be named? Ultimately, if we're saying "COMELEC commissioner", we might as well WP:RM Commission on Elections (Philippines) to COMELEC. Howard the Duck ( talk) 18:03, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
I*n discussion here, I observed that articles related to the Philippine Revolution, the Philippine theater of the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War seem to tend to flout instructions in the docs for template:infobox military conflict saying that the commander paramatrers are optional and, , "For battles, this should include military commanders (and other officers as necessary). For wars, only prominent or notable leaders should be listed, with an upper limit of about seven per combatant column recommended." Besides those linked articles, I also mentioned the OEF-P article. Perhaps this needs some project-level thought and guidance. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 10:16, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Since most COVID-19 protocols and mandates have been relaxed or have been completely abolished, I noticed there are some articles where editors are removing all mentions of the COVID-19 protocols previously in place such as on the MRT-3 article and the Manila Light Rail Transit System article.

On the main project page, the tab for requests for Philippine-related articles, media, or templates currently displays "Requested articles." This label might suggest that the tab is exclusively for article requests, while in reality, it covers all the previously mentioned types of requests. Is there a specific reasoning for that or can we change it to be more suited for its page?
Regarding the media request section, it could be beneficial to find a way to incorporate other requests for the same Philippine-related articles, such as those that are in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the Philippines or Category:Wikipedia requested maps in the Philippines, to ensure they are also appropriately addressed.

List of shopping malls in the Philippines needs massive cleanup and reorganizing.

Hello Tambayan Philippines:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

maybe someone can look into adding the updated official designation of Maharlika Highway onto our Route 1 article. DPWH just had a recent order that have redefined it to Route 1 down from Lal-lo to Guiguinto, and Calamba to Zamboanga. previously, Maharlika Highway (or Daang Maharlika) was just for the route down from Lal-lo to Guiguinto and Muntinlupa to Davao (including those also named Doña Remedios Trinidad Highway, Cagayan Valley Road or Manila South Road).

Howard the Duck ( talk) 19:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
I've been noticing a lot of edit-warring over flags in articles about historical revolutionary organizations in post-1896 Philippine history represented in their WP articles as sovereign countries (one example here). Besides wondering about WP:V in relation to this, I wonder whether it is appropriate for this project to adopt some standards relating to this.
In looking at the template docs, I noticed that the template docs describe some France-specific parameters. If there is a need (I don't think there is), perhaps representatives of this project should add a Usage re the Philippines clarification the template docs.
Note: without thinking about it much, I have changed {{ infobox country}} to {{ infobox former country}} in the exampled article.

I previously raised this concern on the our discussion page. I'm interested in streamlining the organization of media requests. As a photographer, I'm keen to contribute images to articles lacking images. However, identifying such articles can be overwhelming. While categories like Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the Philippines and Category:Wikipedia requested maps in the Philippines exist, they might not be easily navigable or discoverable for newcomers.
Even within Tambayan Philippines, our dedicated media request page features different requests. I propose exploring a more centralized approach to facilitate the discovery of articles in need of media content. This could benefit and attract more contributors interested in improving Wikipedia's visual content. JETH888 ( message) 06:54, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Today I made some edits to the Philippines article, in the 1898 area of the Spanish and American colonial rule (1565–1946) section. After that, I took a look at the History of the Philippines article around the start of the Spanish and American colonial rule (1565–1946) section and at the History of the Philippines (1898–1946) article around the start of the Philippine–American War (1899–1902) section. It stuck me that the summary-style transitions there are less than perfectly smooth and that the edits I had just done, though I think they were sensible in the context where I made them, didn't improve that. This is something that has been mothering me for quite a long time; it no doubt has a lot do do with the ad-hoc way WP articles are put together. I don't have the time or energy to take on improving that situation, and that would be more than a one-man job in any case. I don't have a vision for improving things in that regard, but thought I would mention this here in case others are interested. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 05:52, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
(added) The substance of the edits I mentioned above that I added to the Philippines article probably ought to be in the
Philippine–American War article, and I see that it is not mentioned there at all (should have read it more slowly. Actually, I probably added that at some point.). As I have time, I'll probably add it there and then start working backwards from there up the hierarchy of articles I mentioned above, working to pull relevant content downwards in
Summary style.

I notice a lot in LGU articles that the "City/Municipality of X" is a common feature in LGU infoboxes. However as per the Template:Infobox settlement usage guidelines, the "official_name" field says "Avoid using official_name if it leads to redundancy with name and settlement_type."

Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic.This is the abridged version of the general notability guidelines. Philippine-related articles don't have a specific notability guideline, so the best guideline that applies here is the notability guideline for events. Usually, this means the event must have had a lasting impact and received widespread and lasting coverage. There's no minimum number of deaths for an event to be notable — we have articles on storms which killed no one and don't have articles on storms which killed a few.

Hi, in light of the recent news that CNN Philippines is closing down due to serious financial losses, should we anticipate that the CNN Philippines website could be shut down as well?
Perhaps until there is confirmation and in with the likelihood of it happening with the closure on Wednesday, January 31, we should make sure that all or most articles using CNN Philippines as a source have Wayback Machine archives linked to their citations.

Hello, I know y'all are busy doing your thing here, but I would like to invite y'all to join this background drive. In this drive, you just have to add at least one inline citation of a reliable source to any article tagged as lacking sources.
As of this week, according to Bambot's WikiProject Cleanup Listings, there are 460 Tambayan Philippines articles that don't cite any sources. That's a lot! I've added some sources to some articles, but there's a lot of work to be done. So I'm hoping to see that number go down.
Also, you get a badge when you add a source to at least one article. So that's cool. If you want to register, just click the link above and go to the Participants section. Thanks. D-Flo27 ( talk) 05:31, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
basically semi-retired here in WP, I'm thinking about the many missing articles about Filipino singers and music groups (esp. 80s and 90s). I'm also looking if we can form a dedicated subproject (aka task force) of Tambayan for Filipino music. Looking into having more articles about other popular Filipino singers and musical groups we are currently missing. TagaSanPedroAko ( talk) 07:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
Sorry if I sound like rambling, but the lack of articles for a few notable Filipino musical acts (whether they rose to prominence before or since the Internet) acts sounds like we have an under-representation problem here. Coverage of acts from the Internet age is fine by me (except some gaps I mentioned, either uncreated or deleted), but pre-Internet ones are badly represented. Also it's reflective of a gap we have for coverage for music in the Global South. There are lots of articles for music and musicians from the West than of ours. We might had a lot more articles for acts we consider notable in PH in the past, but we saw a lot of them getting deleted or redirected. Maybe those deleted or redirected articles lack sources, have their notability questioned due to the lack of reliable sources (esp. true with acts from before the Internet age), or are hardly salvageable, but we should have the vigor to rewrite them better, with reliably-sourced information and encyclopedic tone.
I think we should have an initiative to improve our coverage in regard to PH music (particularly musicians). The beginning of a music task force is a good start, but there's a long way to go. This is not only with the creation of missing articles and recreation of previously ones with reliably-sourced content, we should also deal with stub expansion, adding sources and improving tone. You can thank me for setting up a task force for our music coverage, but I'll leave the work to the rest of you who are interested in the topic. I'll be still watching, more as a reader than an editor here. TagaSanPedroAko ( talk) 16:25, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to get some advice on this. I was thinking of writing in the ongoing issue of the photo of UST CISC students at a 7-11 branch that got censored by the UST admin into the University of Santo Tomas article. Problem is, I can't seem to find a suitable section to put it into, or if there is an article more suited for it.
I feel certain that the issue isn't significant enough to be its own article, which is why I intend on inserting it into an existing one instead. But the main UST article is quite long and comprehensive, and the recentism and weight of the issue ( WP:BALASP) makes me question if it is suitable for inclusion into that article. For me, I think its sort of significant to UST history as there is online outrage, hundreds of students and alumni in protest, and a lot of news coverage (though hopefully not treading into media circus territory) since the issue is part of a wider problem (daw) of the UST admin censoring or oppressing their student organizations for years.
I'd just like a second opinion if the rules I cited are indeed applying to the issue and if there is a suitable place for it to be covered. Ganmatthew ( talk • contribs) 12:25, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Is it appropriate to use File:Philippine Eagle with nest.jpg twice in the article, even if the file description does not give clues as to where the image was taken, ala-stock photo on the article? None of the archived copies on Wayback Machine (for example, this and this) provide clues on location description or location tags. Note the image is no longer existing on Commons, making the hunt to know where the image is taken more difficult.
While it may seem appealing to add "stock-type photos" on geography articles, these may give wrong impression to some readers that the images were indeed from the places being discussed by those articles. JWilz12345 ( Talk| Contrib's.) 13:19, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Currently, it is "Member - Start - End - Congress - Party - Electoral history - Constituent LGUs". I'm proposing to change it to "Member - Start - End - Party - Electoral history - Congress - Constituent LGUs". Reasons:
There are 200+ congressional districts currently, and around 50+ defunct ones, and I dunno if all articles are made by now. Since this will affect hundreds of articles, and that we have settled on the current setup, a discussion like this is warranted.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I've noticed that a lot of road articles using the PHLint template tend to have filled in data for the kilometers of certain intersections along the road.

This may be a dumb question, but was the city of Manila ever part of a region (perhaps Southern Tagalog, since it was the closest) prior to the creation of the National Capital Region (NCR)? If so, when Metro Manila was carved out of the province of Rizal in 1975, was it still part of Southern Tagalog (since it has yet to be designated as the NCR)?
Another thing, a line from the Metro Manila article says On November 7, 1975, Metro Manila was formally established through Presidential Decree No. 824. The Metropolitan Manila Commission was also created to manage the region (take note that it says region); however, it wasn't until 1978 when Metro Manila became a region. — hueman1 ( talk • contributions) 08:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

I've noticed that the majority of Filipino celebrity articles specifically tend to overload/overstate their occupations in their lead sentences with every possible permutation of their job as a "celebrity", violating the guidelines stipulated on MOS:OPENPARABIO/ MOS:ROLEBIO. For example, a lot of people wrote "singer" and "dancer" not because they've recorded an album or are known as a career dancer, but simply because they probably sang and danced in ASAP a few times. Another common one is "model", because they posed for a clothing line or magazine covers, and "endorser" because they appeared in commercials and billboards. I'd argue these are all pretty standard work for most celebrities in the Philippines.
Some are easy enough to edit out, but where do we draw the line for some roles? Can an actor really be considered a singer because Star Magic made them record a sappy love song or two with a loveteam partner? Does being contractually obligated to dance in a variety show counts as being a professional "dancer"? What sets apart a "model" from an attractive actor? Is being a vlogger a valid occupation for someone already famous for being an actor? Is "endorser" even a real job?

So I was creating Category:Chairpersons of the Commission on Audit (Philippines), then there's this Category:Commissioners of constitutional commissions of the Philippines, and I figured, why not a category of commissioners for each commission?
Until I realize that "Commissioner of the Commission on Elections" sounds awkward. However, category names are pluralized, so "Commissioners of the Commission on Elections" doesn't sound that awkward. Of course common parlance refers to these people as "COMELEC commissioners" (COA and CSC are much less mainstream than the COMELEC, so the terms "COA commissioner" and "CSC commissioner" may not be as popular); how should these commissioner categories be named? Ultimately, if we're saying "COMELEC commissioner", we might as well WP:RM Commission on Elections (Philippines) to COMELEC. Howard the Duck ( talk) 18:03, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Every city and municipality article has an "Economy" section, which is almost exclusively a graph of how poverty-stricken the area is.

I've been noticing a lot of edit-warring over flags in articles about historical revolutionary organizations in post-1896 Philippine history represented in their WP articles as sovereign countries (one example here). Besides wondering about WP:V in relation to this, I wonder whether it is appropriate for this project to adopt some standards relating to this.
In looking at the template docs, I noticed that the template docs describe some France-specific parameters. If there is a need (I don't think there is), perhaps representatives of this project should add a Usage re the Philippines clarification the template docs.
Note: without thinking about it much, I have changed {{ infobox country}} to {{ infobox former country}} in the exampled article.

I previously raised this concern on the our discussion page. I'm interested in streamlining the organization of media requests. As a photographer, I'm keen to contribute images to articles lacking images. However, identifying such articles can be overwhelming. While categories like Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the Philippines and Category:Wikipedia requested maps in the Philippines exist, they might not be easily navigable or discoverable for newcomers.
Even within Tambayan Philippines, our dedicated media request page features different requests. I propose exploring a more centralized approach to facilitate the discovery of articles in need of media content. This could benefit and attract more contributors interested in improving Wikipedia's visual content. JETH888 ( message) 06:54, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Today I made some edits to the Philippines article, in the 1898 area of the Spanish and American colonial rule (1565–1946) section. After that, I took a look at the History of the Philippines article around the start of the Spanish and American colonial rule (1565–1946) section and at the History of the Philippines (1898–1946) article around the start of the Philippine–American War (1899–1902) section. It stuck me that the summary-style transitions there are less than perfectly smooth and that the edits I had just done, though I think they were sensible in the context where I made them, didn't improve that. This is something that has been mothering me for quite a long time; it no doubt has a lot do do with the ad-hoc way WP articles are put together. I don't have the time or energy to take on improving that situation, and that would be more than a one-man job in any case. I don't have a vision for improving things in that regard, but thought I would mention this here in case others are interested. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 05:52, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
(added) The substance of the edits I mentioned above that I added to the Philippines article probably ought to be in the
Philippine–American War article, and I see that it is not mentioned there at all (should have read it more slowly. Actually, I probably added that at some point.). As I have time, I'll probably add it there and then start working backwards from there up the hierarchy of articles I mentioned above, working to pull relevant content downwards in
Summary style.

I notice a lot in LGU articles that the "City/Municipality of X" is a common feature in LGU infoboxes. However as per the Template:Infobox settlement usage guidelines, the "official_name" field says "Avoid using official_name if it leads to redundancy with name and settlement_type."
Under this guideline:
Should we go ahead and remove all of the "Municipality/City of X"s. Should we still mention it in the lead if yes. (Manila, officially the City of Manila)
An international example would be "New York City" which is mentioned as "City of New York" on its official website (on official documents as well I presume) but City of New York is nowhere to be found on the New York City article. Hariboneagle927 ( talk) 12:43, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic.This is the abridged version of the general notability guidelines. Philippine-related articles don't have a specific notability guideline, so the best guideline that applies here is the notability guideline for events. Usually, this means the event must have had a lasting impact and received widespread and lasting coverage. There's no minimum number of deaths for an event to be notable — we have articles on storms which killed no one and don't have articles on storms which killed a few. What matters is whether or not the event had a lasting impact or had widespread coverage. Chlod ( say hi!) 03:08, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

basically semi-retired here in WP, I'm thinking about the many missing articles about Filipino singers and music groups (esp. 80s and 90s). I'm also looking if we can form a dedicated subproject (aka task force) of Tambayan for Filipino music.

Sorry if I sound like rambling, but the lack of articles for a few notable Filipino musical acts (whether they rose to prominence before or since the Internet) acts sounds like we have an under-representation problem here. Coverage of acts from the Internet age is fine by me (except some gaps I mentioned, either uncreated or deleted), but pre-Internet ones are badly represented. Also it's reflective of a gap we have for coverage for music in the Global South. There are lots of articles for music and musicians from the West than of ours. We might had a lot more articles for acts we consider notable in PH in the past, but we saw a lot of them getting deleted or redirected. Maybe those deleted or redirected articles lack sources, have their notability questioned due to the lack of reliable sources (esp. true with acts from before the Internet age), or are hardly salvageable, but we should have the vigor to rewrite them better, with reliably-sourced information and encyclopedic tone.
I think we should have an initiative to improve our coverage in regard to PH music (particularly musicians). The beginning of a music task force is a good start, but there's a long way to go. This is not only with the creation of missing articles and recreation of previously ones with reliably-sourced content, we should also deal with stub expansion, adding sources and improving tone. You can thank me for setting up a task force for our music coverage, but I'll leave the work to the rest of you who are interested in the topic. I'll be still watching, more as a reader than an editor here. TagaSanPedroAko ( talk) 16:25, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to get some advice on this. I was thinking of writing in the ongoing issue of the photo of UST CISC students at a 7-11 branch that got censored by the UST admin into the University of Santo Tomas article. Problem is, I can't seem to find a suitable section to put it into, or if there is an article more suited for it.
I feel certain that the issue isn't significant enough to be its own article, which is why I intend on inserting it into an existing one instead. But the main UST article is quite long and comprehensive, and the recentism and weight of the issue ( WP:BALASP) makes me question if it is suitable for inclusion into that article. For me, I think its sort of significant to UST history as there is online outrage, hundreds of students and alumni in protest, and a lot of news coverage (though hopefully not treading into media circus territory) since the issue is part of a wider problem (daw) of the UST admin censoring or oppressing their student organizations for years.
I'd just like a second opinion if the rules I cited are indeed applying to the issue and if there is a suitable place for it to be covered. Ganmatthew ( talk • contribs) 12:25, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Is it appropriate to use File:Philippine Eagle with nest.jpg twice in the article, even if the file description does not give clues as to where the image was taken, ala-stock photo on the article? None of the archived copies on Wayback Machine (for example, this and this) provide clues on location description or location tags. Note the image is no longer existing on Commons, making the hunt to know where the image is taken more difficult.
While it may seem appealing to add "stock-type photos" on geography articles, these may give wrong impression to some readers that the images were indeed from the places being discussed by those articles. JWilz12345 ( Talk| Contrib's.) 13:19, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
