message: the 814,296 population for Cebu City is an updated one for 2005 and not 2000 census. Please correct. thanks. :)
:Most of the other cities/municipalities were using 2000 populations. We should stick to 2000 populations unless a newer, official estimate for all the other units becomes available. Polaron | Talk 13:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:VISION-THEATER.jpg

message: The reason for my 13 Sep edit was that the existing text made it sound like Metro Cebu was something within Cebu City ("Metro Cebu ... is located in Cebu City ...").  So I changed it in an attempt to fix that ("Metro Cebu ... is comprised of ...").  Giraffedata changed it ("Metro Cebu ... comprises ...").  While I agree that the new wording is correct (in fact, both usages are, as discussed below), I think it re-introduces a possibility of the original misunderstanding.
As Giraffedata has stated here, "It's illogical for a word to mean two opposite things."  While it may be illogical, it is, apparently, an unfortunate fact about that word.  OxfordDictionaries.com cites both of the following as correct English:
* (a) the country comprises twenty states
* (b) the country is comprised of twenty states
Merriam-Webster.com offers these as correct examples as well:
* (a) The play comprises three acts.
* (b) Nine players comprise a baseball team.
which correspond respectively to the two Oxford examples -- the two (a)'s having one meaning, while the two (b)'s have the other meaning (Oxford using the passive construct, and Webster using the active, but both reflecting the same meaning).  The only usage that Oxford cited as incorrect is this (which nobody has used in the article):
* (c) the property comprises of bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen
My point is that, considering that there are two different correct meanings of the word "comprise" ((a) and (b)), its usage may introduce some ambiguity.  Therefore, in order to avoid all possibility of misinterpretation, I am changing the wording to "consists of" ("Metro Cebu ... consists of ...").  If there is any concern, please discuss here, thanks.  -- HLachman (talk) 06:29, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
