This is the discussion page of Tambayan Philippines, where Filipino contributors and contributors to Philippine-related articles discuss general matters regarding the development of Philippine-related articles as well as broad topics on the
Philippines with respect to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects. Likewise, this talk page also serves as the regional notice board for Wikipedia concerns regarding the Philippines, enabling other contributors to request input from Filipino Wikipedians.
This page is not a forum for general discussion about the
Philippines and other Philippine-related topics. Any such comments
may be removed or
refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this page. You may wish to ask factual questions about the
Philippines and other Philippine-related topics at the
Reference desk. Please limit all discussion to topics pertaining to this WikiProject or its pages.
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.

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.
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. -

To those who heeded the call to make relevant improvements to the said page, thank you. I'll be submitting the draft for review. -

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
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:
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! ---

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?

But I'm a bit confused with the scope and with Annex A. Is the DA using calamansi to refer to all limes and dalandan to refer to all oranges? Annex A's table of variations feels like a stretch because it's considering every orange as dalandan as well as
pineapple and
watermelon for some reason.
Need background on a possible incident I might be involved with
Hello! I am currently involved in an investigation regarding a
WP:NEWSPAPER and
WP:COPYVIO case of a user who is not a member of Tambayan but is also engaged in editing Philippine articles. For transparency, I am not the one under the spotlight but now I am confused since the said other user is alleged to be the sock of an old banned user under the name JudgeFloro or something similar to that. Can anyone enlighten me as to what happened before that?

Judgefloro was a prolific photo uploader who was blocked for sockpuppetry. Per
WP:DENY, this isn't really something I'd discuss further here. For further action on socks, follow the
WP:SPI process. For further action on on-wiki copyright violations, follow the
WP:CCI/
WP:CPN process, whichever applicable. Chlod (
say hi!)

@
Borgenland are you referring to me (the other user who is not a member of Tambayan)? I just mentioned a concern by Commons/enwiki admin
Explicit when they posted the possible Valenzuela400 sockpuppetry
on my talk page. Of course, their concern should not be ignored. Also note that I earlier posted this concern
on Just Step Sideways' talk page (he was once critical of Judgefloro's uploads (
read here); Just Step Sideways' former username was Beeblebrox). JWilz12345(Talk|Contrib's.)03:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)reply
