Blood Compact/Sandugo and Sandugo Festival

Re: Blood Compact/Sandugo and Sandugo Festival

Please comment on whether there is a need to make a separate article for the Blood Compact/Sandugo and a separate one for the Sandugo Festival.--Pinay06 08:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

locator map Anda, Pangasinan

Hi, When writing about the Cabarruyan Island I discovered another (very small) mistake in a locator map. The map of Anda, Pangasinan should include the small Island located to the north of the main Island, just south of Santiago Island, Bolinao. Best regards, Magalhães 11:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Maps of Philippine municipalities

Higala,

I would like to ask a zipped copy of the maps of Philippine provinces. As you might have already known, were using your maps for the Cebuano Wikipedia. The usual process is to simply copy the maps from here in en and copy to ceb. However, I've learned (just this week ;)) how to use pywikipedia, and I realize how much work can be automated by using a bot. In this regard, I would appreciate it if you can send me a zipped copy of the images through my email (bentong_isles at yahoo dot com) so that I can upload it to ceb-wp using a bot. Also, I would like to ask how you would like to be credited in ceb-wp for the maps. Salamat! --Bentong Isles 12:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Ph seal negros oriental valencia.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 00:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Dlsu_seal.png

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Dynamic Mapping

Hey lets work together in making dynamic maps or those maps with links. Lets look at the following:

• Template:United_States_Labelled_Map
• Template:England Labelled Map
• Template:South_America_Labelled_Map

Maybe it can be used in Regional maps or Provincial Maps. Using this type of map users will simply click on the province, municipality or city they want to visit. --Exec8 17:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ph seal mindoro occidental.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ph seal mindoro occidental.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Your edit to Everybody Votes Channel

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism and immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. TJ Spyke 07:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. TJ Spyke 09:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

My word. This was not vandalism by any stretch of the definition. Tim 14:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to actually acknowledge that deletion reviews exist, and recognise that Wikipedia is nice and open and transparent, you will be in danger of being a rather good editor. :) Tim 15:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. Hammertime. Tim 15:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Personally I dislike it when navigational templates require me to click "show" before I can see it. But fully expanded, it's way too big. I would split it off into smaller individual templates for regions, provinces, and cities. TheCoffee 14:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm having trouble restoring Muñoz City to Science City of Muñoz as well as Samal City to Island Garden City of Samal. They just don't simply use Muñoz City and Samal City when they refer to their places, just like those in San Fernando, Pampanga addresses in that area would all have City of San Fernando.

Image:Ph_pres_arroyo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ph_pres_arroyo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ^(talk) 19:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Philippine general election, 2007

Sir, I have noticed that you made election-related maps i ask if you could make two maps like in the 1992 and 2004 elections for the upcoming 2007 midterm elections, one for the exit polls of the SWS and PulseAsia and the Official COMELEC Tally later on. It will do a great help for the page. Rizalninoynapoleon 12:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)User:Rizalninoynapoleon] 20:15 (UTC)

Actually I don't think I've ever made any election-related maps. The 1992 map was made by User:Joseph Solis in Australia, and the 2004 map was made by User:Seav. And I'm not sure what data to reflect on the map. TheCoffee 09:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I've asked for a deletion review of List of Philippine Presidents by longevity. Since you participated in the deletion discussion for this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -Fagles 20:33, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm humbled by it, I actually don't know what to say. I'd be lying if I'd say I'm not interested, everyone is I suppose. But I guess more than being seen as "inexperienced" by those who'll review it, I just don't wanna put into question my nomination, coz I think there are others who deserve it more than I do especially among Filipino Wikipedians.

Comment on Inquirer Blog

Saw your comment on the Inquirer blog...yeah, I definitely agree, I know it sucks that they have to make a big deal out of this, as we can revert the vandalism anyway. But come to think of it, they even get it reported in the US media. So I think some of our fellow Wikipedians from the other side of the earth have the same thing in mind as yours :I --- Tito Pao 07:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah.. I was actually alerted to the Cayetano article by a friend of mine that said it was vandalized, so I went over there and reverted it. It was only a few minutes later that I realized that the Inquirer had a little story about it. Whew... if every bit of childish vandalism was covered by the media...

Hello TheCoffee, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Ph pres marcos.jpg) was found at the following location: User:TheCoffee/Temp. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not readd the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain.

Fair use rationale for Image:Greenwich_pizza.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Greenwich_pizza.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigrTex 20:16, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I've started tagging your maps on Wikipiniana

They've imported almost all of your city/municipality locator maps into Wikipiniana. Some were just imported with the GFDL notice, others have the GFDL notice but without the attribution to you. I've created a template there {{TheCoffee_image_notice}} and have started adding it to your images there (e.g., [1]). You might be interested in helping out assert our copyrights. I could create a bot, but they have an anti-spam measure that complicates things somewhat. --seav 10:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey thanks. I wish I could sprinkle attribution all over the hundreds of images there, but I doubt I'll find the time and patience. In fact, if I had the time, I'd be spending it retagging all my image contributions here on Wikipedia as GFDL/cc-by-sa. :p GFDL alone is too demanding and everyone ignores it. TheCoffee 19:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. I'm tagging it for you anyways. About 1000 more to go. Hehehe. If you're going to retag, you might want to upload the maps to Wikimedia Commons instead. --seav 03:31, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Deleted deletion debates

Hi. You deleted Wikipedia talk:Wikicide, Talk:Misconceptions and disputed facts/Delete, Talk:Md. Ahiduzzaman L, Talk:Santorum/delete, Talk:Gen. 2:17/delete, Talk:Wilfredo G. Santa, Talk:Diamond theory, Talk:ONW, Talk:George Francis Cruickshank, Talk:Sarah Marple-Cantrell and Talk:2 Gryphon as orphaned talk pages. While those page were orphaned, they were archived deletion debates of the pages they were attached to; the result of the more primitive archiving process back in the days of "votes for deletion" (VfD). See Wikipedia:Archived delete debates/2003 and later dates, where these pages are listed, now red-linked. This comes up as a result of this post at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Anyway, can you restore the pages? Thanks.--Fuhghettaboutit 01:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure, i've restored them all, except Talk:Md. Ahiduzzaman L (which doesn't seem to have ever existed). TheCoffee 13:40, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. So far all the deleting administrators (who are active) have restored, so we're well on our way to getting the 40 or so deleted archive pages back in place. It's not surprising these were deleted since they didn't have any type of noticeable header informaing that they were archived debates (if you look at the pages now, you'll see such a header). Regarding the one you didn't find; that's my fault: I cut off part of the title when I posted it here. It's Talk:Md. Ahiduzzaman Liton. Thanks again.--Fuhghettaboutit 01:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

One more thing. It may be that Talk:Santorum/delete should be redeleted. Can't qute figure out where the vfd debate went. There a mix-up of refactoring edits and redirections going on there and I'm not sure there is a vfd archive to flag. I'll let you know of any further development on that one (or if you don't mind I'll simply deleted if that time comes).--Fuhghettaboutit 01:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Rubiks cube newsletter.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Rubiks cube newsletter.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:35, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Admin talk

Do you think we need more Filipino admins? If so, how could I help when I become one. (If not then it is still ok). I'm editing wikipedia for a year now and I think I need some new goals. --Lenticel ^(talk) 12:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually it doesn't really matter much how many Filipino admins there are... if anyone needs an admin to do something, there are appropriate pages to get that sort of help, and having a Filipino admin wouldn't make a difference. You seem to be a good productive editor and it's great that you have adminship in your sights but for now your edit count would put you at a disadvantage if you were to be nominated at WP:RFA. TheCoffee 13:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Pinoy Wikipedians have been egging me to become an admin, but I don't want the added responsibility and I can contribute to Wikipedia productively without admin powers. So while I think we do need more administrators, they don't have to be Filipino. Besides, many people think that becoming an admin for reasons of regionalism is poor form. See Chris S.'s RfA discussion. --seav 05:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 15:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Please help me by restoring wikipedia:Image:Dikson - Siberia 5.png. The deletion log shows you deleted it. The deletion log shows you deleted it due to a lack of liscence. This was one of a hundred or so maps I created. I am surprised to read that this one lacked a source liscence. I started by liscencing all these images with {{gfdl}}.

FWIW, I don't remember getting any kind of heads-up that this image was going to be deleted.

Please help a poor Ateneo Judge

I am Florentino V. Floro, Ateneo 82/74; I saw you user page and you are also an Atenean, from Negros, the country of coconuts.

I want to share my GIFT of healing oil which is free and cannot be sold since you know according to our Philippine tradition if you sell it like VCO or virgin coco oil it looses its potency. You might also ask your elders there about 2 mata coconut oil which I discovered and it is mutant. The problem is no link or reference on this can be found and opinion research is banned here. I am sad that my 2 articles were deleted or politely redirected by User:Rkitko administrator. So I raised the query if I can re-create these 2 again. Coconut charcoal and Coconut healing oil were deleted by him and were now redirected as Coconut and Coconut oil. These articles can help a lot of our and your people in Negros, Valencia. So, if you can help me, I have back-ups and please help me so that we can have first and good articles on these. Sincerely Judge Floro

(By the way, I edited Mrs. Arroyo's health section which was deleted as trivial. Well, that is so correct. But the truth of the matter, if you will look closely at the LINK, inquirer has a SECRET info on the Fatty Liver of Arroyo, and she is dying leading to complications ... but of course Inquirer is afraid. So, as you will see the TIMELINE, Arroyo from time to time goes suddenly out of the blue to the hospitals (in fact the deleted one is on Asian Hospital where it was changed to rumour that she just met with a renegade officer on coup http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20071218-107431/Malacaang_downplays_Arroyo_checkup ) Since 1965 I never voted and I am a-political, hence I am not anti or pro-Arroyo but have stunning predictions on this as my GIFT. When I found just today that you are administrator, then, I would not insist on this editing of HEALTH - but view this: "Hospitalized twice in 2006 The President was hospitalized twice in 2006--in June and July--for diarrhea and a fever, respectively. During her July visit, doctors who did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter, said Ms Arroyo was suffering from a fatty liver."

Hoping you help me restore these 2 coco articles and just ignore my arroyo edits just minor things. Thanks.

--Florentino floro (talk) 09:18, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Virgin coconut oil is actually a signature export product of the town where I'm from, Valencia. But, as with everything on Wikipedia, articles have to be based on available reliable sources. Perhaps you could try adding information to the Coconut and Coconut oil articles.

As for any conspiracy to hide Arroyo supposed secret life-threatening illness, if you can back that up with reliable sources I won't object. But from where I stand, occasional quick trips to the hospital don't seem like anything out of the ordinary considering she's a busy 60 year-old woman. TheCoffee (talk) 09:50, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind reply. I already replied to administrator User:Rkitko, and he is very kind on the matter. I will take double time to support the coco article and limit it to Philippine VCO etc. As for Mrs. Arroyo, you are correct, and the Inquirer.net, FATTY LIVER illness was there but the writer (under our journalism and libel laws) stated that IT will not reveal the source or doctor of Arroyo from the hospital. You, know, I had been keeping a close eye on this illness in view of the email to to of Noli de Castro's vice-chair in campaign Isko Catibayan; he asked me to predict if GMA is really sick when at first she was hospitalized, and I said yes, but it is a paranormal illness. He wanted GMA out since he emailed me twice if I can predict VP Castro to take over. And I said, over my dead body, I said GMA stays (that email was circa the Black July Saturday when GMA was almost out I AM SORRY). I was shortchanged by Catibayan, I was not given the position he promised after I fought in Court for Noli at that time 2004. In the case of Teresita de Castro, and here I cannot reveal some facts about my prophecy, I created this article with my advance prediction written in its talk page, that she will be appointed as S.C. Justice, and that was June-July, 2007. Well, common sense dictates that Inquirer.net journalist and the St. Luke's doctor would not show the medical sheets that would support the NEWS of the FATTY LIVER. But imagine so many hospital RUSHED not visits. In WikiPedia there are lots of these like the alleged mercy killing Pope John Paul II. Hope you see my point. And when the time comes for GMA's exit and physical hurting that I predicted, NO TIME FRAME, I contributed on this matter of health with great significance. In fact, I thought of writing here TIMELINE: Health Curse in GMA Cabinet but it would be too short. I will write a better one these days, on the Timeline: Philippine Appalling Event and Health Imprecations etc.[2] Regards.

Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr.

I write to you, and sent you by email my book. I read part of your blog, and I found that you're so young, brilliant in this internet, computer thing. I want you to know that, since you work at Cebu, and you're from Valencia, Negros, I want to tell you that the most powerful man in our nation, judiciary and government, is no other than Justice Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr.(from Basilan, Lamitan and Banilad, Cebu). I lectured to this man, 3 times at his house in Capitol estates where I healed his entire body for 4 hours, in 1999; then I lectured to him in his JBC Chambers, Manila, for more than 60 Fridays, 60 hours (focusing on Rene Saguisag and Corazon Aquino, inter alia.[3] or simply [4] (my April 4 Motion in Court).

Since April 6, 2006, when I was Googled and ergo, I registered to reply to more than 140 forums, I discovered the depths of human minds. I had been banned in more than 15 of those 140 forums due to my uncompromising stance vs. atheism, skepticism, agnosticism, and more importantly vs. Wiccans, witches and evil. From 1953 when I was born until 1983, I laughed at paranormal matters, since as science lover, like you, I studied hard at the Ateneo from 1978-1982 (MBA, AB and LLB), with honors. I remember the time when I got A in chemistry and A in math II when almost all failed. But last year I debunked and threw psychic phenomena, since I found that like science, and here in Wikipedia, all mind things are imperfect and finite, unlike St. Paul's gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I saw the light: Lux in Domino. I was told that many were out here to muscle me and to ban me. But I don't care; there are lots of administrators here who knew me; in fact it was User:FisherQueen who really created my Florentino Floro article; it is my philosophy that we CAN'T do anything at all to change our destiny, and there is no such thing at all as destiny of choice. I had lectured lengthily to people on the corridors of power who just listened to me and were somehow hypnotized (time and space problem in spirituality = state): Raul M. Gonzalez, Joseph Estrada, Leonardo Quisumbing, Consuelo Ynares-Santiago, Manny F. Gaite, my classmate, Justice Jose C. Vitug, Justice Ruperto Kapunan, Justice Vicente Mendoza, Fr. Romeo Archie Intengan, SJ, ex-Provincial, my classmate, 2 full hours, to Arturo D. Brion and 7 hours, to his wife my classmate Tonette Brion, 2 hours in 3 meetings with my lawyer Rene Saguisag, and 2 hours with Jovito Salonga. All of them, yes, I met and lectured to ... but I found the most interesting and more brilliant ... Mr. Boy Abunda - when I was featured as Kontrobersyal of the year in their closing anniversary(ABS-CBN.

There is full of anger, bitterness, hatred and thirst for vengeance here and everywhere. Most of our justices, court personnel and government officials do not believe in God. They appear to be so religious but they are not afraid of God, due to the broken world of materialism. Wikipedia is only one of the millions of ways we can taste wisdom, which is merely a particle of light, and God is light, for the truth is light. I had seen the violet lights and white lights which were never seen by anyone here on earth except the mystics, Catholics. I fervently pray that you will have a bright future and career, and will not suffer what the 16 Aquino-Galman innocent accused suffered, as I did suffer (like thousands of innocent jailed accused since 1901) under Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr. (who nominated judges, justices and Chief Justices, from 1997 until today, until 2009). Not even the President of the Philippines can be more powerful than him, since Justice Presbitero J. Velasco, Jr. calls him "Boss" and all the Supreme Court Justices were made by him. It was on February 10, 2006 that I cursed his entire family under Psalm 109 and 73, but until now, he still respects me, but I closed the door permanently. He is a lay minister of his St. Peter the Apostle Church which he helped built at P 68 million, and his mentor Fr. Gerry Tapiador, Parish Priest believed that I am an authentic healer (he said). I write this because, I admire your brilliance here, and you can share your gifts to less privileged Filipinos. - --Florentino floro (talk) 09:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm planning to modify that image for a cerain out-of-Wikipedia issue. I can't comprehend the GNU Free Documentation License, since it's too jargon for me. Do I have any conditions before modifying and/or posting it on that site? Thanks in advance. -iaNLOPEZ1115 · TaLKBaCK · Vandalize it 06:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure of all the requirements of GFDL myself. :p You can just go ahead and use it however you like, just try to give attribution to me if possible. TheCoffee (talk) 14:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Magsaysay Plane comments

Thank you for your extremely kind words.:) I just may have exhausted all possible internet resources for that article, so that any future expansion will have to draw on print sources for reference. I'll be on the lookout though for stuff to add to improve the article. --Anyo Niminus (talk) 23:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Image fix

I know that you have a better image/photo editing software to fix the unfree pic that I uploaded to look like this. That's it. Thank you in advance. -iaNLOPEZ1115 · TaLKBaCK · Vandalize it 11:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think I can do that. First, the image is too small to replicate the details accurately. Second, a seal shouldn't be modified since it's supposedly the definitive image used to represent the city for authentication. TheCoffee (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Help - Locator map for Sayre Highway

Good day! I need a locator map for the Sayre Highway article. If you have the time, can you help me make it? The Highway passes through the following cities municipalities: Brgy, Puerto, Cagayan de Oro City (starting point), Manolo Fortich, Sumilao, Impasug-ong, Malaybalay City, Valencia City, Maramag, Don Carlos, Kitaotao, Dangcagan, Kibawe, Damulog, Carmen and Kabacan (end point). Thanks a lot. Kleomarlo (talk) 09:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Google Earth now has hi-res imagery of Dumaguete

And Iloilo City, Tuguegarao, Aparri, Surigao City, Infanta, etc. :-) Can you give me suggested sights from Dumaguete to feature in Vista Pinas? Aside from Silliman University, of course. Hehehe. --seav (talk) 14:14, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

NYT Article re: 2001 State of Emergency in the Philippines

I checked the article referenced but I couldn't find any mention of two policemen being amongst the casualties. Was it perhaps a different NYT article that mentions the two police fatalities? --Edward Sandstig (talk) 16:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

It's here on the second page of [the other NYT article http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CEFD71738F931A35756C0A9679C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2]. I'll edit it to make the citation clearer. TheCoffee (talk) 16:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Nueva Ecija maps

Sir TheCoffee, the maps for Nueva Ecija are all wrong. Tarlac should be Pampanga. Pangasinan should be Tarlac. And Benguet should be Pangasinan. Barrera marquez (talk) 10:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Requesting advice re: persistent IP vandal

I have reason to believe that a single person is behind the majority of untruthful edits to articles about the Philippine military. The editor in question uses a number of different IP addresses from ISPs in New Zealand and a common thread is that the user claims to be a half-Russian, half-Filipino female — which makes me wonder how many half-Filipino, half-Russian females in New Zealand have taken an interest in the Philippine military =P. Not all the user's edits are bad, but despite warnings on the talk pages of the various IP addresses used, and requests in the article talk pages, the user continues to add unreferenced content or make things up. In cases where the user has posted references, they have either been: very old; another Wikipedia article (in one case the user had edited the other article before presenting it as a source); or the user had not really read or understood the reference. There are a few of us who have AFP-related articles in our watchlist and we're usually able to undo the damage quickly enough, but some changes do manage to slip through the cracks. I've thought of requesting semi-protection, but I don't think the problems on the PAF, PA, PN and PMC pages are at the same level as those previously on the George W. Bush article. So my question is, what else can we do? Do you know how we might be able to reach out to this user? Any advice would be much appreciated. :) --Edward Sandstig (talk) 11:38, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Ph pres aquino.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

User:Cma and User:Howard the Duck

Hi! I read and replied to the messages of these 2 users. I was accused my Migs of editing Wikipedia. Can I please be enlightened or be informed of any violation of specific Wikipedia rule which would warrant my blocking, since I am entitled to defend and air my side. In this connection, in view of the serious charges by Migs, Duck and Efe vis-a-vis my submission of the email of IanLopez of the conspiracy, I asked the help and kindness of these 2 administrators, so that I would be protected from further problems. May I respectfully ask your good office as administrator to give me fairness and due process, in the light of my submitted evidence on this conspiracy in User:Diligent Terrier/Florentino floro and Maxschmelling? Thanks. Hereunder is my messages to 2 administrators, to solve this problem with fellow Filipino editors. : User talk:Rkitko - [5] User talk:FisherQueen- [6] -Please adopt me, help me: Due process in Wiki and Request for adoption --Florentino floro (talk) 07:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I think Migs was sarcastic when he said that. He's just frustrated that there's been slow progress in the issue's people have been raising about you (posting stuff on talk pages; long winded replies, etc). I've been following the complaints of people against you but I really don't think there is a conspiracy. It would be in everyone's best interests (including yours) if you stop accusing people of conspiracy... it creates a hostile environment and makes you appear paranoid. TheCoffee (talk) 08:41, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I had spent lots of times and squarely submitted my side. I am not accusing them of conspiracy, but it was my adopting parent IanLopez who emailed me of the conspiracy, and I even disregarded it. Why? I read the rules, and there are lots of avenues here to resolve disputes. But I am entitled to be heard. Now, I decided FAIR AND SQUARE, to take the burden of instead putting in my email, all my daily edits (via attachment 2003 word, from Word pad) so that I can easily re-add those vandalized by IP anonymous users.--Florentino floro (talk) 09:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
