Talk:List of islands of the Philippines

message: I added the article Talim Island which is located in the middle of the Laguna Lake and I do not know if it could be categorized in this list. This list (Island of the Philippines) needs attention, hoping that you could help. Thanks!  Fddfred 12:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Bohol was represented twice: by Bohol and Bohol. I removed the former, since it seemed to be talking about the province and not the island. PaintedCarpet (talk) 09:19, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Pacijan Island in the Camotes Island Group has an area of at least 105 km2 (40 sq mi).  Just take a look at the Wikipedia article for San Francisco, Cebu, you will see the municipality of San Francisco's land area which is 106.93 km2 (41.29 sq mi).  The Tulang Islet which is part of the municipality of San Francisco is very small with an area of 0.96 km2 (0.40 sq mi) (see Tulang islet section under the Geography section in the San Francisco, Cebu article), and if you subtract the Tulang Islet's area from that of the municipality of San Francisco, you get the area of Pacijan Island which is 105.97 km2 (40.89 sq mi).  Pacijan Island should be ranked #42 on the list between Homonhon and Poro with Poro being demoted to rank #43.  
Fuga Island (or Fuga Moro island) (which is under the municipality of Aparri, Cagayan) has an area of 100 km2 (39 sq mi) as per its Wikipedia article making it rank at #43 which is just below Pacijan island, but above that of Poro island further demoting Poro island to rank #44.  
Batan Island in the Batanes Islands has an area of 95.18 km2 (36.75 sq mi) as per its Wikipedia article making it rank at #45 just below that of Poro island.
Panglao Island near Bohol has an area of 94.53 km2 (36.50 sq mi) as per its Wikipedia article.  Panglao should be ranked #46 just below that of Batan Island, but above Patnanongan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aamma58 (talk • contribs) 05:06, April 15, 2018 (UTC)
:Problem is most areas in these articles don't have reliable sources. I will do some research and see if I can update the list. Regards, -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 20:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pacijan Island, Fuga Island, Batan Island, and Panglao Island to be included in the List of islands by size section 

message: There is uncertainty about the land area of Negros and Samar, and depending on the source, one is larger than the other. Currently the area info in both articles is based on Island Directory of United Nations Environment Programme. Further research I did shows this:
Negrosarea in km2	Samararea in km2	Source
9,225            	9,949           	
12,705           	13,080          	
12,710           	13,080          	;
12,748           	13,322          	
13,075           	12,849          	
13,309.6         	13,428.8        	
13,350.74        	13,834.56       	
Notes:           	Notes:          	Notes:
There is little agreement between these values, but it seems that Samar is generally a bit larger than Negros. I would consider the National Statistics Office the most authoritative of all these sources, and I will update the island info accordingly. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:03, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Negros Island area 

message: Under "List of islands by size", it states "The 50 largest islands have a combined area of around 321,000 square kilometers".  This is already much larger than the total area of the country (300,000 sq km, as listed in both Wikipedia main page and the CIA world factbook). 76.14.104.80 (talk) 23:21, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The total area of 300,000 km2 is an estimate that is too low. The main Philippines page also has a note saying: "The actual area of the Philippines is  according to some sources." Then it makes more sense... -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 12:33, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflicting total area  

message: According to https://geonames.nga.mil/gn-ags/rest/services/RESEARCH/GIS_OUTPUT/MapServer/0/query?outFields=*&where=ufi+%3D+-2401696, OpenStreetMap and Google Maps, East Guhuan Island is in Malaysia. Is there a better source to confirm which country this is in? Or is the boundary uncertain in this area? Peter James (talk) 21:17, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The sister article in Cebuano shows that it is in Malaysia. And this topographical map clearly shows that it is well within the Malaysian boundary. Safe to remove it from the list IMO. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:40, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
