Santiago Colleges[edit]

Flagging Northeastern College of Santiago, Isabela for a 68.5% copyvio from school website. Couldn't put the hidden template myself since I'm not proficient in that kind of code. Borgenland (talk) 16:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted it to the latest non-copyvio version (Which was on 2011). --Lenticel ^(talk) 09:19, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I saw that the safe version had no intro so I tried to salvage one. Do correct if it still is problematic. Borgenland (talk) 09:48, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I also ran through University of La Salette and it had a 95.4% copyvio from school website, hence the section renaming. Borgenland (talk) 09:53, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Borgenland: No non-copyvio version found. I suggest that you nominate this for speedy delete G12. Lenticel ^(talk) 01:17, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A pity though, given that it’s a major university in the area. But I’ll try my best to salvage the thing even if it means downgrading it into a stub. Borgenland (talk) 06:21, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It can still be recreated but without the added copyvio baggage. --Lenticel ^(talk) 08:29, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was going to suggest preserving the references here, but, well. CMD (talk) 09:32, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I chopped it down and finally provided a ref, albeit the school website. Borgenland (talk) 14:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Borgenland hindi ba't the school website is non-independent? (WP:INDEPENDENT). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 10:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was aware of that but I was worried that a lack of sources could lead to G12 so I decided to use it as a stopgap. Borgenland (talk) 10:25, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(←) School websites may be used as references (per the relevant guidelines) subject to the usual caveats. -Ian Lopez @ 07:44, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Transportation Task Force[edit]

Hello! I am inviting everyone who's interested to be a part of the Transportation Task Force to make it more active.

This task force aims to improve articles related to transportation in the Philippines, covering topics such as railways, roads, aviation, maritime, and more.

I hope you can share your thoughts and improve the quality of Philippine transportation articles. Thanks! HiwilmsTalk 05:44, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Baguio Midland Courier[edit]

In light of the regional weekly publication ceasing their operations next month, I created a draft article so that other contributors can make the relevant improvements and hopefully move it to mainspace before the release of its final article on July 21. -Ian Lopez @ 08:16, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

POGO raids[edit]

Should the two raids mentioned at Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator#Notable raids be split into separate articles? Or (as an alternative, considering a major debate at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not#NOTNEWS), a list article covering notable raids, like List of raids on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators? Although the impact and aftermath brought by the raids may be long-term to comply with WP:SUSTAINED. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 04:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there much more to say than what is currently in that article? I wouldn't split them as written into their own articles or a list. There are other raids that could be added however, taking a quick look this source mentions the Hong Tai raid. (Perhaps a good example of what the hypothetical split articles would look like too.)

Recent church article moves[edit]

Several church articles have been recently moved by User:CoptEgypt136. It might need scrutiny since the shorter common names were replaced by the longer official names. As I understand, the official names could be placed in the fullname {{Infobox church}} parameter and in the lead's first sentence. Longer article titles also would clutter the pushpin map since it would be automatically used as the map's label:

CoptEgypt136 moved page Naic Church to Diocesan Shrine and Church of the Immaculate Conception Church (Naic)
CoptEgypt136 moved page Diocesan Shrine of Saint Augustine to Diocesan Shrine of Saint Augustine and Church of Santa Cruz (Tanza)
CoptEgypt136 moved page Our Lady of Candelaria Parish Church (Silang) to Diocesan Shrine and Church of Our Lady of Candelaria (Silang)
CoptEgypt136 moved page St. Mary Magdalene Church (Kawit) to Diocesan Shrine and Church of Saint Mary Magdalene (Kawit)

Sanglahi86 (talk) 14:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. This is an unnecessary overprecision case.Borgenland (talk) 14:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue has been resolved as HueMan1 reverted the undiscussed moves. Sanglahi86 (talk) 12:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Manny Castaneda[edit]

It looks like no one has yet picked up writing an article about Manny Castaneda (even though his death was extensively covered by the media), so I created a new article. Please feel free to add more details. Thanks! --- Tito Pao (talk) 07:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ramon Montaño[edit]

Recently deceased subject needs major cleanup. Just gutted it because its content was basically unsourced. Borgenland (talk) 16:21, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No article and scientific name for dalandan[edit]

Currently, there is no article specific to dalandan on the English Wikipedia.

The closest there is to one is a redirect that currently points to Orange (fruit). However, in the interest of having an article specific to dalandan on the English Wikipedia, I tried to determine if there are any existing articles on dalandan in other languages. Confusingly, there are also conflicting sources on what exact orange species dalandan even is.

Varying sources on Google say that dalandan is Citrus sinensis while others say it is Citrus aurantium. Neither Wikipedia articles on the two species mention dalandan as a local name or the Philippines. On other Wikipedias including the Tagalog Wikipedia specifically, it is claimed to be Citrus sinensis and points toward the translations of the Citrus sinensis article.

Can someone help and figure out which of the two species is really dalandan? Or maybe its a hybrid of a certain species or a completely different species? Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 16:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried looking for sources on the Department of Agriculture? Borgenland (talk) 17:02, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Found this [1] paper from the FDA. Borgenland (talk) 17:03, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
