message: Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Titoxd(?!? - help us) 18:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.  B2T2 15:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I find it a bit strange that there's a WikiProject for LGUs and not one for the Philippines as a whole, but that's neither here nor there...
A Southeast Asian task force within the Military History WikiProject has finally been created. If there is anyone here who is interested in the subject - stretching from the origins of civilisation up through today - I invite you to please come and lend your support, questions or comments, here. No serious responsibilities or obligations connected to signing up, only another way to meet one another, to work together to expand and improve Wikipedia's coverage of these subjects. Thank you.

message: Greetings!  I came across Department of Public Services while doing some categorization work.  I did a bit of cleanup on it, but I don't have enough knowledge of the Philippines to assess its notability or context.  So, if someone could take a look at it and see how it fits in with other barangays, that would be most awesome.  Thank you!  Rtucker 00:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

* :ilo:Category:Dagiti Ili ti Filipinas
* :pam:Category:Ding Balen ning Filipinas
* :bcl:Kategorya:Mga banwaan kan Filipinas
* List of cities and municipalities in the Philippines
The project will involve two phases:
# Article Completion (start articles), 2000 data 
## Full Completion of Philippine articles in Tagalog, Cebuano/Sinugbuanon, Waray and Ilocano. - June 21 to July 12
## Partial completion of articles in Pampanga, Bicol, Pangasinan and Chavacano de Zamboanga  - June 21 to August 2
# Article Development - July 6 until August 31
## Inclusion of LGU officials (2007-2010 term) using lmp.gov.ph and lpp.gov.ph
## Adding 2007 Population Data without deleting the 2000 data.
I hope we join together to complete this project just like NAIA-3 (almost done but on hiberation mode). --Exec8 (talk) 15:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Exec8, I am basing my maps on existing Wikipedia maps that are used on infoboxes of municipalities, and I am just simply redrawing them, and putting them altogether. In the case of new/resized/divided/partitioned/whatever Mindanao municipalities, I can see that there are still no Wikipedia maps, available, so I'll just try to find ones from other sites. And also Exec8, I publish all my original images, except photography, under the public domain at Wikimedia Commons, as part of my advocacy for the Commons.
And lastly, I am sorry for not responding as fast these weekends, all PLDT connexions here at (most of) Dasmarinas were cut off due to some man stealing the PLDT cables. And as such, I wasn't able to create maps during these weekends (where I have the most free time and no school work) so progress was slowed down.
The provinces of Abra, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Apayao and Cagayan are already done; and you might notice that the image on the right now includes those provinces, if it doesn't refresh your cache. That's a high resolution image (2568 x 3876). And people, what do you think would be the best resolution for the Philippine map (all provinces)? The higher the resolution, the more detailed it is, but there's a bad side on to it; the file's bigger, and of course a pain in the neck for those with slooow connexions. Currently, I am working on Batanes. -- Felipe Aira 10:06, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the clarification. Also, are you making sure that all municipality/city shapes are closed paths and that all of their individual bits (e.g., islands of Itbayat, Batanes) are together? (In the SVG file, each city/municipality should have only one <path/> element.) --seav (talk) 10:40, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Closed paths in a way that "there are no spaces between paths"? If that is, then yes all are closed paths. And also the bodies of water to be included in the map are Magat Lake/Dam, Pantabangan Lake (a lake around 3/4 of Magat; near Baler), Cagayan River, two rivers/lakes near Cagayan, minor lakes in Pangasinan (I am doing Pangasinan now). I'll upload a new one 2 days from now. -- Felipe Aira 11:40, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Aira, yes po.  The Laguna de Bay - Pasig River watershed is a pet concern of mine, but I think major mountains and river and lake areas would also benefit from this.  I suppose in the end these major geographic points are the main reference for these maps rather than municipalities... Alternativity (talk) 09:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: If its not too much, maybe just dot them around regardless if we occupy them or not, so as not to appear that there's no land feature in the area, just have them grayed out maybe. --Scorpion prinz (Talk | contribs) 12:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I still think that only those occupied by the Philippine government should be included in the Philippine map since it wouldn't be right if I did otherwise.

replies: text: Er, don't rely on Google Maps alone. The shore outline in the "Map" tab of Google Maps uses outdated shorelines (e.g., no reclaimed areas). Also, if you switch to the "Satellite" tab, you'll see that indeed there is no lake there. --seav (talk) 15:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: How about just crop the Philippines from existing satellite images. They are in the public domain aren't they? Then just overlay political boundaries over them. Just like how the map of Algeria on the right was cropped. -- Felipe Aira 05:39, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Er, no. Not all satellite images are public domain. LANDSAT images are public domain but practically every hi-res satellite images you see in Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, and MSN Live Maps are copyrighted. --seav (talk) 07:19, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Aira, yes po.  The Laguna de Bay - Pasig River watershed is a pet concern of mine, but I think major mountains and river and lake areas would also benefit from this.  I suppose in the end these major geographic points are the main reference for these maps rather than municipalities... Alternativity (talk) 09:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: If its not too much, maybe just dot them around regardless if we occupy them or not, so as not to appear that there's no land feature in the area, just have them grayed out maybe. --Scorpion prinz (Talk | contribs) 12:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I still think that only those occupied by the Philippine government should be included in the Philippine map since it wouldn't be right if I did otherwise.

replies: text: Er, don't rely on Google Maps alone. The shore outline in the "Map" tab of Google Maps uses outdated shorelines (e.g., no reclaimed areas). Also, if you switch to the "Satellite" tab, you'll see that indeed there is no lake there. --seav (talk) 15:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually this (:Image:Metro manila map.png) is the one I used as a reference for Metro Manilas shoreline. It just happens that Google said that there was a lake in that area so I included it. Don't worry; it will be gone in the next update. -- Felipe Aira 09:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Will this change naming conventions for the Science City of Muñoz and the Special Science and Nature City of Los Baños? -- Alternativity (talk) 05:42, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd favor them being moved to Muñoz, Nueva Ecija and Los Baños, Laguna, respectively. I think the Los Baños case is similar with the "Historical City of Caloocan", while for Muñoz it is the official name but nobody really calls Muñoz that way. P.S.: I'm not familiar in the case of IgaCoS aka Samal, maybe someone can find out how it is really called, or if the IGaCoS name is its official chartered name. –Howard the Duck 05:54, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Dunno bout this, since we've universally applied the <Municipality name>, <Province name> convention perhaps even before I showed up here. The only issue for me is for the cities, since they use the <City name> City convention. The thing is, if we use the <Municipality name>, <Province name> convention, it means that if we use the <City name> City convention, that implies that the city is not within a jurisdiction of the province. If anything, I'd even favor a <City name> City, <Province name> convention. For example, when Meycauayan, Bulacan achieved cityhood, its article name was moved to "Meycauayan City." What does the page move imply? Meycauayan became independent from the province of Bulacan. Another nitpick, in , the three component cities are at the bottom of the navtemplate, in a separate row called "Component cities," and they are named "<City name> City"! The proper way would've been "<City name>" since they are already under the "Cities" row. If the municipalities and cities are all in one classification, then appending "City" would've been appropriate. –Howard the Duck 11:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
