Auxiliary Bishop[edit]

Need consensus on whether the appointment of Father Reynaldo Bersabal as new auxiliary bishop in California merits inclusion into 2024 in the Philippines. I do not want to insert this and get reverted at the same time that our favorite Sock is back ruining the page.

For reference: https://www.rappler.com/philippines/pope-francis-names-reynaldo-bersabal-auxiliary-bishop-sacramento/

No, I don't think so. It is an affair within the global Catholic Church as an organization and is barely a milestone - "fifth bishop". Its no different if a Filipino citizen gets to become a CEO of a Fortune company in America. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 15:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Radio in the Philippines needs expansion[edit]

In its current state, the article about radio in the Philippines has been little more than a stub-ish article in stark contrast to the like of Radio in the United States. Lot of it is history, but no other details such as broadcast services, formats and prevalence. Notably, a discussion about the common "masa" (aka "contemporary MOR") format is missing. I think the section about acts of violence against radio broadcasters seems to repeat only info covered at list of journalists killed in the Philippines and rather undue. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 05:49, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just expanded the article, but would leave most further additions and sourcing to anyone interested. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 07:55, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I have the skills to expand it, but I would imagine a lot can be done. I have learned in the 6 months of living here that radio in PH is a very different thing than radio in the US. More wild west, more radio drama (zero in the US now), and less "bland" and corporate-ized than American radio, where most of the stations are owned by conglomerates that focus more on radio being an advertising platform rather than producing unique content.

Requested move at Talk:November 2023 Mindanao earthquake#Requested move 4 April 2024[edit]

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:November 2023 Mindanao earthquake#Requested move 4 April 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. HueMan1 (talk) 23:44, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shenanigans in Isulan[edit]

It appears that an editor has been tampering with the demographic statistics of Isulan and inventing numbers not supported by the 2020 national census, which is used by every competent editor on Philippines-related topics. It also appears that they have been censoring important parts of the town's history on false pretenses and wiping off references to its indigenous origins in favor of Hiligaynon culture. That the user proceeded twice to blank a whole section despite being warned and falsely claim that the facts were false despite it being well-sourced does not inspire confidence on me issuing a second warning on their talk page. Need help on what steps should be taken to protect the page short of raising an ANI or requesting a PP increase. Borgenland (talk) 16:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to keep an eye on that, ping me if needed. Hopefully it was a one off problem and not a pattern. I did leave a more blunt message on their user page. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 06:44, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Billboard PH charts before 2017?[edit]

Just found this from one article about one Connie Francis song ("Wishing It Was You"), looks like Billboard had Philippine charts before the now-defunct Philippines Hot 100 and the existing Philippine Songs. Not sure about its last publication. If that stretched up to Billboard Philippines Hot 100 launch, good news; we might be able to craft out a list of number-one singles in PH from the 50s/60s to present (we currently don't have one yet aside from those covered as sections of the respective charts' pages). TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 06:02, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, maybe there are several from the 1960s. But I highly doubt we would find a PH chart for the other decades, especially the 2010s. They just didn't have the rights for it. All we have are radio, and MTV, and Myx. Unfortunately, those won't be accepted. D-Flo27 (talk) 12:56, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pisay[edit]

I recently made a major copy edit to the movie Pisay (film), which is about the school I went in high school, but in a different campus from the film and expanded on its related links. Does that qualify as a COI and if so, where can I find the proper disclosure template and a userbox if there is one? Borgenland (talk) 09:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Borgenland: Editing the film article should be fine, unless you were involved in the production of the film. In any case, should you wish to declare a possible conflict of interest anyway (or for future reference): {{Connected contributor}}, which goes on the talk page, and {{User COI}} for a userpage userbox (though this is optional, see WP:DCOI for more info). Chlod (say hi!) 09:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pretty mild COI, so the goal would be to make sure you don't edit in a way that advocates the organization. This type of COI is pretty common. Since you don't have an ongoing link or financial link to the organization, a template declaring the conflict isn't really necessary. If you want to put a simple statement on your user page that says you went there, that's fine. I think people are more concerned that you keep all edits neutral. If you go in and make a bunch of major edits to it or rewrite half the article, then it would probably be wise to have someone look at it afterwards. You can ask for that here.

It was a trim to an excessive plot plus the inclusion of a production section. For transparency though, I was just nine years old when the film was made and watched the film aged 17, years after I missed a mandatory screening of it in high school due to illness.

Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines/Roster[edit]

I noticed several indef blocked users, including CU blocked users in the list. Would anyone mind if I trimmed the list to exclude anyone who obviously doesn't belong? I wouldn't remove anyone short term blocked, just the ones without a chance of coming back. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 07:20, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/Members has a subsection "Blocked users" under its "Former members" section. Maybe we could do that if it does not sound too cruel? Sanglahi86 (talk) 07:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I wouldn't want that. If they are indef blocked for sockpuppeting or community banned (de facto or de jure), we just need to remove them. Putting them in a list of "blocked editors" just brings more attention to them, unwanted attention, and isn't fair to them. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 07:41, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have no strong objections if they are removed. Although I was thinking it would be better to just place them in the Former members section instead of removing them as some blocked users may have contributed much prior to being blocked, whatever the reason. Sanglahi86 (talk) 08:46, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Putting them in former might be a better idea. I just like the current members to reflect the actual active members. If I could get a bot to look at who is really active, I might even /msg members who haven't contributed to Filipino articles in over a year, maybe getting them interested again. The goal (in my eyes) is to have a real number of people who edit Filipino articles at least once a year. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 09:17, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
