[edit] Offensive username

Your username is either intentionally or unintentionally insulting to Christians. I would appreciate it if you changed it by making a request at WP:CHU. Thank you. - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 23:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't see it that way, nor should others misconstrue it as that. My given name is 'Christian' and I don't want to change it. I was also baptized and brought up as a Christian. Clearly, I have no problem with it. I can put an explanation on my talk page about the matter but that's as far as I would go (unless one could kindly point out which Wikipedia guideline/rule I had violated, or had not conformed to). Although to be honest I don't really see the point — most other users won't even take notice of my username until they see the history page or discussion page of an article. Moreover, most of the articles I edit are not, or do not contain, contentious issues for Christians. dirrtychristian 03:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I have commenced a discussion at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names#Dirrtychristian (talk • contribs) - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 04:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Something I suggested on the (heavily cluttered) page was perhaps changing your username to just "dirrtychris". Not sure how you feel about it, but it would utterly eliminate any problem with your username.

As for the policy that we're concerned with, have a look at Wikipedia:Username.

[edit] Philippines at the 2007 Asian Winter Games

hello dirtychristian,
i noticed that you changed the ranking of the Philippines for Figure skating from 4 to a an en dash (-). i just want to take note that there is no such ranking in the Asian Games as a dash. also, take note, there were only 3 NOCs which were able to garner medals in the said discipline, that makes each and every medalless NOCs tied to the number 4 rank in figure skating. also, i wanted to take note that you weren't able to use the edit summary box, which makes other editors easily see what you've edited; there weren't any discussion points raised on the article's talk page either. i reverted your edit back to ranking number 4 for the Philippines in Figure skating. for any questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. thanks and happy editing. --RebSkii 19:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

As requested, I have changed your name. You can now log in using the new username. Warofdreams talk 19:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legislative districts of Davao del Norte

Hi, oh thanks, it's great here in Wikipedia that we can check on each other's work. Thanks, for the information about San Isidro, Davao del Norte. It should belong to the 1st district. You could have just transferred it though. For the population normally I just add the population of the barangays that compose the new municipality from the data available from the NSO website. If you want I'll just do it.

For Maguindanao and Surigao del Norte, this COMELEC Resolution 7813 amends COMELEC Resolution 7801 and states both Maguindanao and Surigao del Norte still have 2 districts each, despite provinces being carved out from them. I don't know now which municipalities are in either districts. For Shariff Kabunsuan it's a lone district. I can give you a rough map of Shariff Kabunsuan province if you need one, however I guess it has to be updated with the creation of Northern Kabuntalan, we still don't even have a map for Datu Blah T. Sinsuat.

• For the Legislative districts of Sultan Kudarat you may refer to RA 9357.
• For the Legislative districts of Zamboanga Sibugay you may refer to RA 9360.
• For the Legislative districts of Antipolo City you may refer to RA 9232 and check out with www.mapcentral.ph for the barangay maps.
• For the Legislative districts of Marikina City you may refer to RA 9364.
• For the Legislative districts of Caloocan City you may refer to Districts of NCR seems that the boundary between the districts is EDSA.
• For the Legislative districts of Zamboanga City you may refer to RA 9269.
• For the Legislative district of Pateros-Taguig City and the Legislative district of Taguig City you may refer to RA 8487, Sec. 61.
• For the Legislative districts of Davao City check out Districts of Region XII I don't know which barangays are part of what district, but I guess this map could help Davao City Map. But let me also work on that, I'll try to sort them out.
• For the Legislative districts of Parañaque City see RA 9229 and here's a Parañaque Map.

Hope I was of help. Ü —Scorpion prinz 07:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

UPDATE: I called COMELEC's Education and Information Division and asked which municipalites/cities now comprise Maguindanao and Surigao del Norte's districts.

Surigao del Norte:

1. 1st District: Burgos, Dapa, Del Carmen, General Luna, Pilar, San Benito, San Isidro, Santa Monica, Socorro
2. 2nd District: Surigao City, Alegria, Bacuag, Claver, Gigaquit, Mainit, Malimono, Placer, San Francisco, Sison, Tagana-an, Tubod

Maguindanao:

1. 1st District: Cotabato City
2. 2nd District: Ampatuan, Buluan, Datu Abdullah Sangki, Datu Anggal Midtimbang, Datu Paglas, Datu Piang, Datu Saudi-Ampatuan, Datu Unsay, Gen. S. K. Pendatun, Guindulungan, Mamasapano, Mangudadatu, Pagagawan, Pagalungan, Paglat, Pandag, Rajah Buayan, Shariff Aguak, South Upi, Sultan sa Barongis, Talayan, Talitay.

Take note though, 1st District of Maguindanao even if its comprised only of Cotabato City is still called Maguindanao's first district since Cotabato City is not yet a highly-urbanized city. —Scorpion prinz 09:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I could only make a wise guess. Antipolo City and San Jose del Monte City were created cities after the enactment of the 1991 Local Government Code, they meeting the requirement for their own House representation were thus granted in their charters to have their districts named as such. However, Cotabato City became a city prior to the enactment of the 1991 Local Government Code, its own charter does not grant it to have its own representative. I remember prior to 1995, Baguio City too which is the only unit that comprises the First District of Benguet, didn't have it named as such until the 10th Congress, when Baguio already met the requirement for population. But well those are just guesses, it's how COMELEC refers to them, so it's the official reference. —Scorpion prinz 04:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Great, I look forward to the maps. If I only knew how to creat them, I would have helped. With regard to those districts you mentioned I have no idea, but they could be city-council districts? Pasig and Pasay remain to be lone congressional districts if we were to follow COMELEC Resolution 7801. I rather stick to that since it'll serve as the basis for the coming elections. —Scorpion prinz 02:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks! this is perfect. Congrats! —Scorpion prinz 05:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Some districts are actually too small to be seen in a national map. If I can make a few recommendations though, maybe the inset of the province where the district is located will replace the Metro Manila map inset instead. Also, Scarborough Shoal and Sabah takes too much prominence in the map (i think it's better to have them labeled that way in a national map, rather than a legislative representation map). And I think a label like 14th Congress of the Philippines is necessary, since this would be most relevant for the upcoming congress. —Scorpion prinz 07:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm...It's always the courts who have the final say about the application of laws. If the court decide these areas are Taguig's then it is Taguig's, people here will vote for Taguig officials and certainly not for Makati. —Scorpion prinz 07:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Let me call the COMELEC for that. I'd let you know. —Scorpion prinz 00:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

UPDATE: I called the COMELEC, yup you're right. They'll be following the status quo for the 2007 elections, which means Post Proper Northside and Southside are still considered part of Makati because the case is still pending before the Supreme Court. I guess other maps should likewise reflect this until its final resolution, lest we are preempting the decision, these things will take a while since they can appeal again. —Scorpion prinz 03:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

If you still got the patience for my "OCness" you might want to readjust Manila's borders, refer to the new map of Manila laboriously done by seav. If you were to examine closely, La Loma Cemetery to the north is NOT part of Manila, to the south a small strip of CCP Complex land belongs to Manila, refer to [1]. Ü — scorpion prinz 16:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

No one's in a hurry. Ü — scorpion prinz 00:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I just came across this, I guess there has to be another readjustment, Republic Act No. 9371, which provides for 2 legislative districts for Cagayan de Oro City has been passed, I haven't seen the full text of it yet. But anyway the COMELEC has already issued Resolution No. 7837 to effect the changes. What confuses me though is this [2] similarly this [3]. — scorpion prinz 01:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
