[edit] Eskaya

Thank you for your message. I am currently tied up at the moment. But, I will post my response soon. Best regards.--Pinay06 08:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re your dissertation

Hello again! Thank you for your lengthy message. You have provided a very enlightening discourse on the subject. I am afraid that it is physically impossible for me to do a research at the Bohol Privincial Library, much less the Eskaya tribe right now. I am currently not in Bohol. At any rate, here are some points regarding the Eskaya article:

1. You can see that I based much of the information from the current published internet resources, cited at almost every statement or paragraph.
2. As I always do in writing articles in Wikipedia, I had to take into consideration the policies and guidelines of wikipedia on WP:NPOV, WP:RS, WP:V, WP:CITE, WP:NOR, WP:NOT. I made sure I maintained all of them, at least with Neutral Point of View, Verifiability, Citing sources, and No Original Research. Unfortunately, as of the moment, there is no way for me to determine the reliability of sources. (Although your dissertation gives me some insight on this!)
3. I have to highlight, therefore, that the current form of the article is based on current published resources, and not original research (a no-no in Wikipedia, unfortunately). In addition, even if I want to do the actual research in Bohol, I cannot use that in the article, unless it is published. The same goes to you.
4. I am determined to continue improving the article (note that I just started it on 1 December, 2006). As of today, it is in Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 5 December 2006 (BTW, the main contention you have in your message) is contained there...
5. Your expertise is certainly needed and welcome, especially any published resources you can provide that we can use to cite, etc.
6. Please feel free to edit or improve the article. I know you said, "if you deleted everything for which there was no hard data you would be left with almost nothing!" If you have the hard data, it might help improve the article, and to allow for information on the Eskaya to be known worldwide. However, we need to be follow the guideliines of Wikipedia as I have outlined above.

I look forward to seeing more contributions from you! Best regards. --Pinay06 23:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC): (BTW, were you working at the PPDO?)

Hello! I cannot begin to tell you, too, how glad I am that there is another person I can collaborate with on this article on the Eskaya. I must tell you that the Did you know...? has caused some attention on the article, check the history! Already, I am dealing with vandalism, etc. I think you should go ahead and edit! It's been crazy already on my own. (hehehe!) I understand and empathize how you feel with the Eskaya. Like I said, I will continue to try to improve the article, with your help and expertise. Yes, I will drop you a line at your email address. For the moment, please check the current form of the article Eskaya and edit, or send me your comments again. Best regards. --Pinay06 01:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] overhaul

I'm on the process of making some overhaul on the article. This looks harder than I thought! --Pinay06 01:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Visayan-Eskaya

You did it! Yehey!--Pinay06 01:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I will help wikify the article only when you are done so that there will be no edit conflict.--Pinay06 01:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP Ethnic groups' rating

Message sent to User:Sugaar: Thank you for the rating. Please let us know what else to do, or the next steps. Please keep me updated, too. Best regards! --Pinay06|talk| 20:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

As far as I understand it, the B rating is the highest rating an article can have before passing through the test of good article nomination (see WP:GA), a good article "plus" can get an A rating and the top level is the featured article (it appears in the main page, see:WP:FA). So in brief, the article is quite good (as far as I, a total ignorant on the Eskaya people, can tell): it is well organized, NPOv, sourced and has an small but nice infobox. Guess that adding some images: one or two pics, a map maybe, would help it to become a GA. Not sure: it's more an stylistic matter than anything I can help with, really. Thanks for the smile, btw. --Sugaar 21:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for the details. Yes, we will definitely work on the suggestions. The pictures will be uploaded soon. Please include Eskaya in your watch list so that you can be kept updated, too. Best regards. --Pinay06|talk| 21:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
