message: It is TIME for groups to expose irregularities of Big Fishes. Without fight Iloilo would suffer. Imagine, there is so much poverty in this City, but the Mayor had high time to galivant to Taiwan and of course, these RISE could just sue him for petty RA 6713 violation. --Florentino floro 11:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Mayor Jerry Trenas Criminal Case

message: I removed the section about the lawsuit filed against Trenas.  It doesn't fit in an generic article about the city.  It would be appropriate for an article on the politics of Iloilo or on Mayor Trenas.  Here it just strikes me as a political jab.--Bruce Hall 02:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  subject for removal (suggestion) 

message: The introduction reads Iloilo City recently topped a survey by MoneySense Magazine as one of the "Best Place to Live in the Philippines". But the two footnotes on this sentence do not support this statement. They say nothing about the MoneySense ranking. Also, the only other reference I can find to this ranking is this - http://moneysense.com.ph/editors-note/best-places-to-live/ - which references an article from April 2008. Iloilo City is listed fifth on the list, not at the top of the list. Omc (talk) 15:02, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Section on Central Philippine University 

message: The photo of Iloilo Mission Hospital in the section on American and Japanese Period was removed, since there is also another picture of this institution in the section about Medical Facilties. Having two photos of the same institutions gives a tone of over-emphasizing an institution or the interested group connected to it. This does not give a fair presentation of information regarding the city, and regarding other similar institutions institutions in it, which might be equally or even more significant.
It might be good to place the deleted photo in another Wikipedia article, which is solely dedicated to Iloilo Mission Hospital.

message: * Major Investors of Iloilo (diff) - As per WP:CRYSTAL, most of the items in the section clearly fall under product announcements and rumors. Even if there are corresponding sources, I'm inclined to believe these are not especially notable that would warrant inclusion in the article (see Wikipedia:Notability#Common circumstances).
* Initial paragraph in Economy section (diff) - economic might, strategic, excellent, have a major impact, most active - These words inherently introduce bias (see WP:WORDS) and are not neutral (see WP:NPOV). Xeltran (talk) 09:09, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

message: I removed the lengthy list of tourism sites that are not in Iloilo City. I think that the Iloilo City article should only include information about things in Iloilo City.  User:Metro Iloilo Guimaras 888 disagrees, clearly, and reverted my changes without comment.  Therefore to avoid an WP:Edit War I seek an explanation a WP:Consensus. Should this article be limited strictly to Iloilo City sites?  If there are no comments, than WP:Silence in consent I will revert User:Metro Iloilo Guimaras 888 recently reverts.  We need to remember too that Wikipedia is neither a guide nor a directory --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 13:22, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I would not suggest simply moving the lists to another article without editing. After all, Wikipedia is not a place for comprehensive lists. See Wikipedia:NOT, specifically WP:NOTDIRECTORY, which says "Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed", and WP:NOTGUIDE which says "Notable locations may meet the inclusion criteria, but the resulting articles need not include every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc. While travel guides for a city will often mention distant attractions, a Wikipedia article for a city should only list those that are actually in the city. If you do wish to help write a travel guide, your contributions would be welcome at our sister project, Wikivoyage." There are other places that have comprehensive list of tourism sites, such as tourism and government websites.  We can and should link to those.  We should not reproduce their content here.  We are an encyclopedia which means to be included material must meet the inclusion criteria. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 09:54, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: With no other comments, it seems that we have reached a WP:Consensus.  I will put a second note on User:Metro Iloilo Guimaras 888 page so that he has a change to comment if he wants.  I will then remove the non-Iloilo City tourism sites. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 01:12, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

message: The recently added image is simply redundant, as the information is already covered in the CPU image caption to the left, and - very detailed - in the main text. The image is primarily decorative, and this specific section is already crammed with several images ("sandwiching" problems of text between images to the left and right). Another image, especially one without unique encyclopedic purpose, just doesn't fit in - and is undue weight for this aspect. I have removed the redundant image once again. Please discuss here.

--------
There  seems to be an attempt to overemphasize the figure of this particular University in the section on Education in the Article on Iloilo City, which underrates other institutions. Whatever the intention of the contributor, the attempt gives an impression that the contributor is personally connected with the Central Philippine University. this attempts does not give a true picture of the state of the City's education.

message: "Yet, it was also during this period of Philippine history that Iloilo was more popularly known as the "La Reina Ciudad del Sur" ("Queen City of the South"). This points to the fact that the moniker was associated to the Queen Regent's favor and to the honorary title granted to Iloilo City as Muy Noble Ciudad, due to the loyalty of its citizens to the Spanish Crown.Foreman, John, The Philippine Islands: a political, geographical, ethnographical, social and commercial history of the Philippine Archipelago, embracing the whole period of Spanish rule, with an account of the succeeding American insular government, New York: 1907, C. Scribner's Sons, pp. 518, 526. "
__
The above information cites a source that does not support its claim. There is no mention of (1) the city's loyalty to the Spanish Crown, nor (2) the sobriquet La Reina Ciudad del Sur ("Queen City of the South"), in either Spanish or English, in the specified pages (pp. 518, 526) and in the rest of the book. 
Information found on pages 518 & 526 in fact gives a lengthy description of the cities of Iloilo (p. 518) and Cebu (p. 526), with that of Iloilo's describing her decline and loss of rank in the precedence of cities, starting off with, "Yloilo [sic], formerly the second port of the Philippines..." and ends with, "Taken as a whole Yloilo still remains one of the most charmless spots in the Archipelago." Either this source was a misplacement from the preceding paragraph, or a deliberate deception to lend legitimacy to the city's stake for the "Queen City" moniker which has been a subject of historical rivalry with Cebu. This should be subject for edit or deletion.

thread_title:  Infobox 

message: This is an academic source. The tree was scientifically described in the 1800s, but it has always been known as iloilo in the local dialects since pre-colonial times. As the book mentions, many place names in the Philippines are derived from the dominant plant life in the area. Most of them are pre-colonial names, like Naga, Camarines Sur or Iba, Zambales.
This is a wiki, and is not a reliable source. Neither are other folk etymologies from various websites (even government ones), including WP:CIRCULAR sources that were sourced from this Wikipedia page.
The word for nose in Hiligaynon is "ilong", not "irong". Neither the river nor the island in Batiano were ever called "irong-irong" (the island is called Katalman, "a pointed thing"). And I'm really tired of people always claiming that Filipino place names originate from foreign traders (Chinese, Tamil, Malay, Spanish, whatever) mispronouncing something or a story about a "hilarious" misunderstanding. That's one of the easiest way to tell that something is folk etymology. As if our ancestors didn't name our places until foreigners arrived, or that they couldn't communicate with foreigners. Even Pigafetta had no problems learning the names of places when they first arrived (and the names are clearly correct even today - Zamal/Samar, Mazaua/Limasawa, Zuluan/Suluan, Calagan/Caraga, Butuan, Zubu/Cebu, Humunu/Homonhon, etc.).-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 16:12, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: On further research, I found this much older source from 1841. Which does identify that the name "Iloilo" is derived from "Ilong ilong". However, unlike the previous entry here, it specifies that "Ilong ilong"/"Iloilo" was the name of the point next to Jaro where the Fort San Pedro is located. No Chinese people involved, no irong irong. I'll make the changes.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 17:28, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

message: Not only is the paragraph below written rambling, it is also full of factoids that has been spreading around online for quite some time. The first statement in bold is a baseless conclusion drawn without verification. Cebu was declared a City by Philip II in 1594 (here) thus making it second 'official' or 'royal' city in the colony after Manila. Vigan was also declared a city in 1758 by Ferdinand VI. (here). In fact, Iloilo may even be the last to be granted city status during Spanish colonisation. 
 "Iloilo was raised from the status of a town to a city through a Royal Decree, and on 7 January 1890, the city government was established thru an inauguration headed by then Spanish Governor-General Valeriano Weyler, and Iloilo became the second Royal City in the Philippines in the Spanish East Indies, after Manila."
Also, is the concept of a 'royal city' a necessary distinction? Examples of city status declarations of cities in Spain and its empire found in the Spanish Archives show that the title of 'City' is in the monarch's gift; yet to see proof of other means to acquire city status. This is a custom that is still in practice in other European states i.e. the United Kingdom.
 "In 1893, the royal Spanish decree was ratified through a 2nd (legal) declaration by the virtue of Bacura/Becerra Law."
First off, there is no such thing as 'Bacura'. 'Becerra' is the name of the Overseas Minister, Manuel Becerra Bermúdez, in whose ministry the royal decree was issued. The so-called Becerra Law was issued in 1889 not 1893, and the purpose of which was to grant declared cities in their Asian colony to form municipal corporations or municipalities (ayuntamientos), NOT TO RATIFY declared cities. Hence Iloilo was able to establish its Ayuntamiento in 1890, together with Cebu. What was decreed in 1893 was the Maura Law (named after Antonio Maura Montaner), detailing the operation of these municipal corporations. 
I have made the necessary corrections.
