message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found that these statements require inline citations:
*"Augustinian friars began the Christianization of the island the next year. The island was administered as part of the jurisdiction of Oton until 1734 when it became a military district, and Ilog became the capital of the island. The capital was transferred to Himamaylan in 1795. Negros became a politico-military province in 1856 and the capital was transferred to Bacolod."
*"The island of Negros was then divided into the provinces of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental by a royal decree executed by Governor General Valeriano Weyler on January 1, 1890. Dumaguete City was made the first capital of Negros Oriental. In 1892, Siquijor became a part of Negros Oriental, having previously been administered by Spain under the politico-military province of Bohol."
*"The Philippine Revolution reached the province in 1898, disrupting government functions but without bloodshed. Revolutionary troops in the province were composed mostly of farm laborers and other prominent people of the Negros Oriental province who were organized and led by Don Diego de la Viña. The Spanish government in Dumaguete was overthrown on November 24, 1898."
*"Negros Island was taken back from the Japanese on August 6, 1945."
*"At the southern end of the province is the Cuernos de Negros (Horns of Negros) stratovolcano which rises to a height of 1864 meters. At the northern end of the province is Mount Canlaon, the highest peak in the island with a height of 2465 meters and an active volcano."
*"the oldest bell tower is the Dumaguete Bell Tower."
*"The eastern part of the province is characterized by unpronounced maximum rainfall with a short dry season lasting from one to three months. The western half of the province is characterized by a distinct wet season and dry season. Also because of the mountain range, the province is sheltered from the full impact of typhoons originating from the southwest. However, the northern part of the province (from Canlaon City to La Libertad) is in the path of typhoons from the east."
*"Dumaguete City, the provincial capital, is known as a university town due to the existence of four universities and colleges in this relatively small city. Silliman University (established 1901), the first American-Protestant university in Asia, is the largest in the province and distinguished as an institution of higher education in the Visayas."
*"Negros Oriental is subdivided into 20 municipalities and 5 cities, which are further subdivided into 557 barangays."
*"A large portion of residents do not own private vehicles, and are totally reliant on public transport."
Also, the culture and economy sections need expanding, and references should include the author, access date and publishing date, if known.
I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GA/R). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAC. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Regards, Epbr123 14:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The citation for the statement in the intro that Negros Oriental is "one of the most livable islands in the world" doesn't lead to a reference, just the main page of Islands.com. Neither a site search nor a google site search produce anything on Negros Oriental. A quick google search doesn't turn up any sources for this statement. Unless a reliable source can be found I'm going to remove the statement. MrVibrating (talk) 11:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "one of the most livable islands in the world" 

message: There is no mention of Mt. Talinis in the prior paragraph of Negros as you said, and even if there is, still, my addition of this landmark not only tourist but bio-diverse MT. is an encyclopedic matter which is most notable in both Valencia and Negros Oriental, not just in Dumaguete - that you incorrectly pondered and edited. Here is the official Philippine website, or at the very least most reliable source, without any doubt: "Mount Talinis - Negros Oriental - Philippines Mount Talinis Location Mount Talinis is known to be the highest peak in the province of Negros Oriental. Dubbed as Cuernos de Negros or the Horns of Negros, this majestic mountain is one of Negros Oriental’s most visited places. Mount Talinis is specifically located in the quiet town of Valencia in Negros Oriental."--Florentino floro (talk) 07:13, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, I did a full research on Mt. Talinis from Firefox google. And I revised the entire sub-section on culture and eco-tourism. I had to preserve Born to be wild, since I spent one hour playing it over and over, since I could not get the correct names of the rare species, which are not in the english link of GMA-7. Now, I found it is 1903 and not 1864 or 1870. I had been amazed by this Mt. since it is the most, I say MOST bio-diverse in fauna and flora with rare species found only in Mt. Talinis. It is sad that my Bulacan has none of these, and since 1960, I had been using Winchester to shoot wild pigeons but none of these Mt. Talinis thing. I know that you would not want to be in our dispute. Thanks for the message. I only want to preserve this Mt. Talinis thing in Wiki, it is so great Mt.--Florentino floro (talk) 08:05, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
