[edit] hi!

Your name showed up on my Watchlist. Remember me? --Chris S. 12:41, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, hehe. So what are you up to now these days? Oh, and I didn't win the blog awards. Ah well. BTW, how much Italian do you have in you? A while there was a discussion here about Filipinos of foreign descent. And your last name was brought up. I vaguely remember you saying that you didn't have Italian ancestry, or didn't know about it. But I could very well be mistaking you for someone else (it was either you or Fr. Dante Ferry - a Filipino with a non-Spanish or non-Filipino last name). Thanks. --Chris S. 21:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, so you don't know the name of your Italian ancestor or when he came to the Philippines? --Chris S. 00:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response re my edits re Orthodoxy in the Philippines

Hi Angelo,

Thanks for the note on my talk page. I'm not specifically interested in the subject of Orthodoxy in the Philippines, I just happened to look at Demographics of the Philippines#Religion, and tried to check out that cite. Besides not seeing the 560 number (you've explained that — 520 + 40), it struck me that an article hosted on the personal faculty page of a Greek professor in the Computer Science department of a Hong Kong university is a strange source to cite in support about religious demographics of the Philippines. The info in the article may be true, but it is certainly not coming from a mainstream source. Also, the page says that the article is "Provided By" Rev. Philemon Castro &mdash — which may or may not imply that the article was written by him. Digging around a bit, though, I found similar numbers here. While looking around for info, I stumbled across an Wrthodox wiki which has on it an article titled Philemon (Castro) and an article titled Orthodoxy in the Philippines. That last last-mantioned article doesn't give any numbers, but it does say

“

Orthodoxy in the Philippines Today There are some groups today in the Philippines that use the term "Orthodox"; however, they are not in communion with or are recognized by any canonical Eastern or Oriental Orthodox Church. Ecumenical Patriarchate Currently, there are three canonically ordained Filipino Orthodox priests in the Philippines under the spiritual jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and are administratively under an ecclesiastical vicar from Greece.

”

Also, there's some interesting info here.

Personally, I don't know about any of this, and I currently have no plans to pursue it further. -- Boracay Bill 05:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnic group naming

Hi --- I reverted your speedy deletion request on Japanese Filipino because this is a rather controversial issue. Currently there's no standard in Wikipedia as to what these articles about diaspora populations should be called, and one is unlikely to emerge (except in the restricted context of Wikipedia category naming conventions). There's at least six different competing naming schemes. For example, if you are considering the population of people whose ancestors immigrated to Barland from Fooland, there's

1. "American ordering": Foolandian Barlandian (with or without hyphen)
2. "British ordering": Barlandian Foolandian (with or without hyphen)
3. Foolandians in/of Barland
4. Ethnic Foolandians in/of Barland
5. Barlandians of Foolandian descent
6. Foolandian diaspora in Barland

The worst part of course is numbers 1 and 2, since no one can tell whether you're talking about Foolandians who went to Barland or Barlandians who went to Fooland; this gets to be a major problem when historical migration went in both directions. The current situation with all these dab pages sorta arose out of the confusion between Ethnic Chinese in Korea and Ethnic Koreans in China, both of whom get referred to as "Chinese Koreans" and "Korean Chinese" in academic literature. Anyway, suffice it to say, with all your recent page moves, you've stepped into the middle of a never-ending conflict. =) Cheers, cab 11:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish Filipino deletion tagging

I don't understand what you wanted done at Spanish Filipino. What article did you want to move there? --- RockMFR 21:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

There is some history under this redirect, and it has been moved back and forth a few times (cut and paste moves), so it would be best to list this on Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thanks. --- RockMFR 23:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American Filipinos

I was not able to verify that American Filipino is widely used in the Philippines, or even other places around the world. Have you? That's why, at the moment, it's best that it shouldn't have its own article, as per WP:NEO. --Chris S. 05:14, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orthodoxy in the Philippines

Hello, I was wondering if in the future you would consider removing references made by or to orthodox.org.ph and anything relating to an Orthodox Study Centre in Manila. The reason is that both the group and the website are not apart of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and New Zealand and are therefore uncanonical and unofficial. The official website approved by the Antiochian Primate of Australia is www.geocities.com/orthodoxyphilippines. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paolos1 (talk • contribs) 12:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Antiochian Filipinos

Thank you for your help. I have reworked the Orthodox wikipedia page on the section about Orthodoxy in the Philippines to reflect the accurate positions of the Antiochia primate of Australia. Salamat! --www.geocities.com/orthodoxyphilippines —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paolos1 (talk • contribs) 03:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hi

Hi. I found you in the category of users who can contribute in English and Portuguese. I myself am a native speaker of English, but I'm well on my way to learning Portuguese. Just check out my user page and talk page, and join in any of the discussions. To keep updated, you can even put a watch on my user page, which will automatically watch my talk page. :-) learnportuguese (talk) 15:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tagalog Wikipedia

---

Finally, Wikipedia is the 7^th most visited site in the Philippines. Then why is it that the Tagalog Wikipedia, the Wikipedia in your own language remains unknown to most of the Filipinos? The mission of this campaign is to change that. Will you join us?
