[edit] Philippines' Department Article creation naming

Hello, I notice you have created a number of articles on government departments in the Philippines. To avoid confusion with other government departments in other countries it is beneficial to name the article with the country in it, ie:

Department of Science and Technology

is named as Department of Science and Technology (Philippines) that way it is clear what articles contain. This issue was first raised at the deletion comment for the above article here and I have asked there that the articles you have created with the incorrect names be moved to the correct name.

[edit] ARMM map

Enlarge

Hiya Bosconian... I studied in a Don Bosco high school in Dumaguete. :) Hows this for a map of ARMM? Some issues though:

  • Should Cotabato City be red, pink, or yellow?
  • Was I right to exclude Davao City?
  • The province borders in the map are the present day borders. There have been a few changes since 1976. [1] If you want, I could change it to 1976 borders without much hassle.

I could also change the colors, add labels, etc... Coffee 13:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey! great to see a fellow Bosconian around Ü. Thanks for the map, that was fast! With regard to the concerns you raised, it will be best to have Cotabato City in pink since its actually not part of the ARMM. As for Davao City its correct to have excluded it. Will you also be able to label these areas as well - the provinces and maybe just dot on the map the highly urbanized cities: Zamboanga, General Santos, Cotabato, Iligan and Isabela City too, or will it make the map too crowded? Would providing labels for Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao be accomodated as well?
Anyway if I were to suggest colors, the ARMM areas remain in red, the areas intended to be part of ARMM in yellow, and the other areas be in brown, just like other regional locator maps, just retain all the exisiting provincial boundaries in the map. If you could likewise include the shade of Malaysian territory, so as not to make it appear that the vicinity is all water, that will be perfect. -- Scorpion prinz, 02:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Uploaded a new map. :) Coffee 01:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
The map is already perfect! I think you just forgot to put the labels on Palawan and the cities though, or will it appear too crowded, or lets just let go of the dots? Ü -- Scorpion prinz, 01:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh my, I'm not sure how I forgot Palawan's label. I think it would be a bit crowded with the city dots, so I'll just remove them. New map uploaded. Coffee 13:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
This is perfect I'll soon come out with an article about this. Thanks Ü -- Scorpion prinz, 22:49, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Great. :) Coffee 15:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congress maps

Sure, I guess it wouldn't be too much trouble to make a map like that. Perhaps something like this, but with colors like this. Making more maps like that Negros Oriental map would take time though, and I doubt I could get around to it... but I'll see what I can do. :) --Coffee 03:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Let me figure, basically I was suggesting two types of maps, one is a Philippine map showing the number of representative each province send, another is a map showing the congressional districts in a province.
I guess this map will be good for the congressional districts in every province. Towns and cities of the same district be colored in the same way, or maybe in different shades like this, it maybe as simple as the first map, but could the names of the towns be shown? What font do you use? For the number of representatives each province send I guess this one will be good or even this. Or are they too much to ask? Ü Scorpion prinz 21:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, as for the map showing the number of representatives per province... is this what you had in mind? This is based on data at 1st Congress of the Philippines. I could add labels for the provinces... Coffee 05:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Wow, that was fast! Great! Yeah it's exactly what I have in mind. Adding the labels will be best. Will you be able to carve the City of Manila from Rizal Province, and adjust the latter's boundary to show Valenzuela as part of Bulacan? It wouldn't require an inset for Manila would it? Maripipi Island in Biliran is part of Leyte isn't it? Or that will be very tedious? Ü Scorpion prinz 10:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Alright, uploaded a new version with labels and fixes for the things you mentioned. I didn't realize Valenzuela used to be part of Bulacan... you have a good eye for these little details. :p Coffee 02:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
You're so good, this is perfect! Thanks. I apologize for paying too much attention in the details, i'm a self-confessed OC. hehehe. So shall I see the maps progress for every congress? Ü Scorpion prinz 03:23, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
By any chance you will be creating maps for the Second to the Seventh Congress, here were the changes that took place:
Second Congress: Tayabas changed to Quezon Province, Manila divided into 4 districts, Division of Mindoro into Occidental and Oriental Mindoro
Third Congress: Aklan separated from Capiz, Capiz reduced to 2 districts, Division of Zamboanga into Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur
Fourth Congress: none
Fifth Congress: Southern Leyte separated from Leyte Province, Leyte province reduced to 4 districts, Division of Lanao into Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur, Division of Surigao into Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur
Sixth Congress: Division of Davao Province, into Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, Separation of Eastern Samar and Northern Samar from Samar province, South Cotabato separated from Cotabato province
Seventh Congress: Separation of Kalinga-Apayao, Benguet and Ifugao from Mountain Province, Division of Agusan into Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur, Camiguin separated from Misamis Oriental Ü Scorpion prinz 21:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, alright. I was basing the provincial borders on the stuff I found at this site. I'm done with the 7th congress, and I'll work my way back down to the 1st:

--Coffee 12:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, 7th Congress map is already perfect, except Maripipi Island of Biliran is back to Samar again Ü. Mindoro was officially split in 1950, however each of Occidental and Oriental already had their own representatives in the 2nd Congress, I guess we just have to recognize that. Scorpion prinz 13:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Not sure if you noticed, but I'm done with all those. :p --Coffee 18:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, wow you are finished, thanks. Sorry I didn't pay attention to my talk page. Thanks a lot. Scorpion prinz 00:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
By the way, I went as far as going personally to the COMELEC main office to photocopy election records to verify the list of elected members of congress, since 1946, just to iron out any difference between the 2 sources I already have that show representatives from provinces which were not yet created at the time of their representation. The materials I have photocopied are about an inch thick, I'll just sort them out on my free time, I'll tell you any discrepancy, so the maps may be adjusted if needed, if you have the time for it. Ü Scorpion prinz 00:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Wow. You're way more dedicated to researching sources than me... I suppose it's possible to place all the raw data you got online in a different location than Wikipedia (since I think most of it is unencyclopedic?). Works by the Philippine Government is in the public domain. That would help election researchers a lot. --seav 13:37, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Why did you delete the quote from Emilio Aguinaldo? Qoute is from here - Emir214 14:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm working on the article, I don't think it should be the beggining of the article. Scorpion prinz 14:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Let's vote for Mariano Trias

Hey there Scorpion prinz! I would like to ask for your vote for the article of Mariano Trias in Wikipedia's Article Creation and Improvement Drive.

I believe that this article still needs a bit of clean-up and expansion. I hope you would vote for the article in this link.

Thanks a lot!!! ---- Kevin Ray 08:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Are you in favor? The information about regions, legislative districts and judicial regions will be reduced into links. --Howard the Duck 08:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the Philippine Presidency Portal

I am interested with it Scorpion prinz! That would be great. If ever you can still found something important about the development of the portal, it would be a great deal. P.S. I'll ask for help from Manuel Quezon III regarding this matter. -- Kevin Ray 04:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
