The regions should decide for themselves how they want to develop or move forward. Why should Northern Luzon be an agribiz center, and Southern Luzon the urban heart of the country? And why just four level-one regions--and overly large ones, at that? 210.213.182.48 06:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- This is just a proposal; there are 16 functioning regions, and 80 provinces. The provinces are the biggest political units; the regions are for administrative purposes. --Howard the Duck 08:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Corrections
editAccording to the official online brochure, the North Luzon SR consists of all the provinces of the CAR, Regions 1 and 2, as well as portions of Zambales (north of Subic), Tarlac (north of Tarlac City), Nueva Ecija (north of Cabanatuan City), and Aurora (north of Baler). The map of the region in this North Luzon brochure as well as this Metro Luzon SR map are both inconsistent with the description mentioned.
Checking out other maps, here are the cities and municipalities of the 'partial' provinces that are included in the super region if the descriptions are considered:
Aurora: Casiguran, Dilasag, Dinalungan, Dipaculao
Nueva Ecija: Bongabon, Carranglan, Cuyapo, Gabaldon, General Mamerto Natividad, Guimba, Laur, Licab, Llanera, Lupao, Science City of Muñoz, Nampicuan, Palayan City, Pantabangan, Quezon, Rizal, San Jose City, Santa Rosa, Santo Domingo, Talavera, Talugtug; parts of Licab, Laur and Gabaldon lie north of Cabanatuan - if one considers the road network, it makes sense to include them in the North Luzon SR
Tarlac: Anao, Camiling, Gerona, Mayantoc, Moncada, Paniqui, Pura, Ramos, San Clemente, San Manuel, Santa Ignacia, Victoria
Zambales: Botolan, Cabangan, Candelaria, Castillejos, Iba, Masinloc, Palauig, San Felipe, San Marcelino, San Narciso, Santa Cruz; a portion of San Antonio is northwest of Subic.
Here are the towns and cities included in the North Luzon SR if the maps in the official government brochures are considered:
Aurora: Casiguran, Dilasag, Dinalungan, Dipaculao
Nueva Ecija: Carranglan, Cuyapo, General Mamerto Natividad, Guimba, Licab, Llanera, Lupao, Science City of Muñoz, Nampicuan, Palayan City, Pantabangan, Quezon, Rizal, San Jose City, Santa Rosa, Santo Domingo, Talavera, Talugtug; I'm on the fence on the inclusion of Palayan City, as the Metro Luzon SR map does not seem to include it (there is a larger southward 'dent' in the map), while the North Luzon SR map does.
Tarlac: Anao, Camiling, Gerona, Mayantoc, Moncada, Paniqui, Pura, Ramos, San Clemente, San Manuel, Santa Ignacia, Victoria
Zambales: Candelaria, Masinloc, Santa Cruz.
As well, this map shows that Mindanao SR includes Dinagat Island; this map, however, places Dinagat and Siargao Island under the Central Philippines SR. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dirrtychristian (talk • contribs) 04:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC).
- Can anyone give me the one official source? There are many conflicting sources on this. --Howard the Duck 08:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Citations
editIt is not enough to have a list of external references on the bottom of the article. Wikipedia consensus moves, in order to improve overall quality and reliability, to require either in-line citations (within the body of the article) or in footnote style. Please place in-line citation for introductory paragraph. --Gerald Farinas (talk) 04:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- The {{unreferenced}} tag isn't used when you need citations. When there are external links but not enough footnotes, you'd use {{citation needed}}, if the footnotes are too few, use {{refimprove}}. You'd only use {{unreferenced}} when there are no references AND external links. --Howard the Duck 04:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
