thread_title: some references

message: Do we include here names of old provinces or old names for provinces (like Quezon's Tayabas, Siquijor's Isla del Fuego, or Biliran's Isla de Panamao)? --seav (talk) 01:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm... perhaps we can make that as a smaller companion list? The tables aren't to big to accommodate that amount of data--Lenticel (talk) 13:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that's a good solution, a minitable of sorts. --Howard the Duck 13:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Older provinces and names

message: Hi,
I just stumbled over this page. I've boldly made some changes in the citation style which I think will improve this article and ease its development.  I've changed the  templates to use  instead, moved the citations themselves to the References section (where they can be ordered in a way which is useful to the reader) and placed s which link to the associated s in the <Ref>s,  introduced a Notes section and moved the  there.  This is in expectation that there will be instances where it is desired to separately cite several pages of a single book -- individual  instances can cite separately the relevant page(s), and all link to a single  giving info about the book.  If I've been too bold here, feel free to revert my changes.  Cheers. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 00:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
