...that the Sandugo or Blood Compact, where two people drink a small amount of each other's blood, was a traditional way to formalize treaties of friendship in the Philippines?
Submitted to: "Did you know?" talk page November 24, 2006

The blood pact is a staple feature in many Chinese kung-fu movies. Borisblue 07:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. It's appreciated. It is not within the scope of the article, though.--Pinay06 06:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
If someone does an article about the history of blood compacts the world over and its significance among different cultures, I'm sure that information would be important. That information however is outside the scope of this article but if the general blood compact article is ever created, I'm sure this article would then be noted to signify one of the more famous blood compacts in history.

i really like this article. but i'm hoping there are citations from on-line sources for further reading, because i don't have the resources to buy those books.RebSkii 06:50, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Your suggestion is considered. --Pinay06 07:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
i think the content of the footnote section should be put in the references section. that's why i previously asked for online sources, because when i first saw this article,i just read the paragraphs i didn't notice that there are on-line citations. footnotes are supposed to be explanatory or clarificatory in nature. my best regards! -- RebSkii 20:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Done! Thanks.--Pinay06 18:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I came by from the GA page and wanted to say that, as a person who'd never heard of the sandugo before, the first sentence of the article was a little hard for me to understand.  It reads more of a description of what the sandugo was like and less what it is.  For me it would make more sense if it were something more like
"The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in native Bohol style, which was made between the traveling Spanish explorer Miguel (etc) and Datu Sikatuna (etc) in 1565."
I also think moving that memorial plaque up towards the top of the article would be a good idea.

I find that this article meets the good article criteria.  It is well-written, well-sourced and cited, makes good use of images, and covers its topic broadly and in significant depth.  Some further copyediting to tighten up the prose might be possible. PhilipDM 21:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately for the pinoys that this is the start of slavery for the whole archeapelago.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davanitz (talk • contribs) 07:38, 23 September 2008 (UTC) 

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Sandugo/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.
This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found that this article has some issues that need to be urgently addressed.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS): 
The prose is poor, perhaps 5/10. The biggest problem I noticed is "with the fate of Magellan at the back of his mind". How can we possibly know that?
Commenting with regard to how we could possibly know that: The direct quote from the cited supporting source would read, "... with the fate of Magellan certainly on the back of his mind." It looks like this cited supporting source might have embellished the facts here, putting their reliability into question. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 04:19, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
In that case, the phrase should either be quoted and attributed, or rephrased.--Jackyd101 (talk) 10:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
A hidden note in the text indicates that the symbolism section or parts of it are copyright violations. This needs to be investigated and sorted out. In any case, the section is confusing and needs to be urgently rewritten so that it makes more sense. In addition, the references are not always properly formatted and should come immediately after punctuation.--Jackyd101 (talk) 09:54, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
a (fair representation):  b (all significant views): 
See problems with symbolism section
It is stable.

It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
a (tagged and captioned):  b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales): 
Overall:
a Pass/Fail: 
I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN again. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far. (If you are really busy, let me know and I'll give more time. I need to know however so I can see that someone is interested in addressing these concerns.) Regards--Jackyd101 (talk) 09:54, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Nice work, I think I can confirm this article as a GA.--Jackyd101 (talk) 18:23, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
