Talk:Tikbalang

message: Most references to the creature refer to it as a Tikbalang, not Tikbalan. Cite the proper references if you wish to edit the article and sign talk page edits with your account name (using four tildes). For the moment, I am reverting it to the previous version.

thread_title: Tikbalang or Tikbalan?

message: I'm rather new to this, but it was recommended that I be 'bold' and I acted accordingly.  
It seems to me that tales about Legendary Creatures in the Philippines follow a certain pattern regarding the facts they contain:
*a basic description of the creature, including appearance, habitat, and whether the creature is 'good' or 'bad'.
*a set of behaviors associated with the creature
*a prescription for dealing with the creature
I edited the article into sections accordingly.
I intend to look for citations soon - I left my references in the other house.  I'm sure the UP Folk Literature Series can serve as a definitive source of at least some of these statements.

Somewhere in my library I have a protestant perspective already.
A "Dating Daan" video poking fun at the Tikbalang Legends can be found at http://grouper.com/video/MediaDetails.aspx?id=1550162&ml=o%3D7%26fr%3D1564679%26fx%3D
*After a thorough (though slapstick) description of the Tikbalang legends, it basically says Tikbalangs are not true according to the bible, refers to 2 Timothy 4:4 to make it's point. Alternativity 17:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

"I was interested in the idea of how something like a Tikbalang would react if he sees flyovers."

Some said that you can make a tikbalang follow all your commands if you got its golden hair located at its hair or back. This golden hair has to be warped around your middle finger before you make a command to a tikbalang.--WikiPoTechizen 04:04, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Popular Culture 

message: I am collecting search results for tikbalang here, for comparison, and for addition to the main page later, since I haven't mastered how to enter references yet. I think at this point, though, I've found online references for everything that needs a reference on the main page. 124.217.73.214 09:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/tikbalang.html contains an artist's sketch of a tikbalang.
Added link to the World of Warcraft "anti-tikbalang" item since it wasn't cited. Hope I got the format right... Echo5ive 14:22, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links 

message: I have integrated the the references given both in the article itself as well as those in the talk page into in-line citations within the article. I could not determine, however, where exactly to cite the Blair and Bergaño references. Also did some cleanup and wikifying. I removed the section on "Other Filipino mythological creatures", replacing it with a "See also" section; linked to another article on Philippine Mythology. I do not recommend using as references, personal websites such as those found on geocities and the like; it is difficult to determine the veracity of the expertise of authors of these sites. - Kguirnela 20:44, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Integration of references 

message: Tikbalang was usually in reference if the speaker was Tagalog or so but i remember old folks calling this this creature as "tayho." Also that like the kapre, tikbalang is also known to smoke huge cigars or abano. This is based on Panay Island old wives' tales so verification with written folklore is needed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.29.26 (talk) 17:49, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another name and additional habits 

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
