# Talk:Philippines

At 478kb and 11,355 words this article is well into WP:SIZESPLIT territory. Mathglot (talk) 11:57, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

We already shortened this article before, in order to prime this article into a Good Article Review. New edits bloated it once again. @Sanglahi86 looks like we have to trim this article once more. Also, the article is not bloated due to content but due to the fact that it has such a large number of references.--Rene Bascos Sarabia Jr. (talk) 03:38, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
I have not been active recently in Wikipedia as I have in the past months began concentrating on improving categories of images in Commons. Indeed as @Rene Bascos Sarabia Jr.: had mentioned, the article is not bloated. I have removed the maintenance tag as it is inapplicable; reference size is excluded in the size rule, and the current prose size is only 62 kB (9348 words).

Thank You for explaining the context for our friend @Mathglot: dear brother @Sanglahi86:. :D --Rene Bascos Sarabia Jr. (talk) 13:05, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

IP 120, I have added a section heading above your comment, to separate it from the previous section. That said, this Talk page is not for asking general questions about the topic; for that, you could try the Wikipedia:Reference desk. Mathglot (talk) 21:41, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
IP, I would also suggest you click this link here. No further comment. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 04:51, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Please change "...and have engaged in ambushes, bombings, and assassinations of..." to "...and have engaged in ambushes, bombings, and assassinations of..." so that it is more clear that the link is referring to the timeline of communist rebellion instead of engagement in its military context.

I believe the Spanish name of the Philippines, “República de Filipinas,” should be added to the country’s official name listings. I attempted to edit it myself, but I do not have the necessary permissions. If anyone with editing privileges could consider making this change, I would appreciate it. Spanish is recognized as a minority language in the Philippines, and I believe it deserves to be included alongside the other official language representations.

 Not done: Spanish is not one of the main official languages, it has a very limited status along with a number of other languages.  CMD (talk) 12:02, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
the Wikipedia page for Western Sahara, which was also formerly colonized by Spain, has its Spanish name—even though Spanish is not widely spoken there today. Given that, I believe there is also value in including the Spanish name on the Philippines’ Wikipedia page. What do you think about this?
(Sorry for replied too much, but i hope you to add Spanish name. Thank you for replying.) りえさん (talk) 12:10, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
You can see the language statuses in the constitution. The 'ranking' so to speak is Filipino, English, regional languages, and then Arabic/Spanish. Western Sahara is a disputed territory with no single constitution, for countries we generally use the primary official languages. CMD (talk) 14:34, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
OK understood.
Thank you for your time, gracias. 240B:C010:492:A3E8:3180:F9CF:BFE2:5849 (talk) 14:42, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
