[edit] Hello

Mr. Magallanes

Please help me upload photos. I have photos of Bacarra, Ilocos Norte and some photos of San teodoro, Or. mindoro. Pls. reply on my talk page
--Justox dizaola 07:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Justox, Great that you have some images you can upload! You can do two things: You can upload them on the English Wikipedia, or you can upload them on "Commons". The advantage of the first is that it is a little bit easier the first time, because you already have a user name here, the advantage of the second option is that users of all Wikipedia's (in each language) can use your image.

  • Using Option 1, Go to "upload file" on the left of your screen, browse to your photo, provide a decription of the image (including the fact that you created the photo yourself, assuming you did) and choose one of the available licences. The best (if you made the picture yourself) would be to choose "PD: (Self made): Donate to the public domain/release all rights" and then press the button "Upload File" and your finished
  • Using Option 2 Go to Commons and create a user login just as you did for the English Wikipedia (only necessary the first upload). The best would be to use the same nickname as you have here. After that the procedure is almost the same. Go to "Upload File", browse to your picture, write description. In the description you should add a category, so the people can find your image: for example [[Category:Philippines]], choose a license (For example "Own work, release all rights" and press upload. This image can now be used in Wikipedia the same way as can all other images.

I hope all is clear. Just let me know if you have more questions! Magalhães 07:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cebu City map

Ooh... I think a Cebu City map would be too much for me to handle making myself, with 81 barangays and streets all over. Sorry, I'm not sure what else to suggest but to search for a map on Google and hope to find something that's not copyrighted. Coffee 15:39, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sandugo and Sandugo Festival

Please comment on whether there is a need to make a separate article for the Blood Compact/Sandugo and a separate one for the Sandugo Festival.--Pinay06 08:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] bohol.ph

Hi! May I know if you are Jeroen Hellingman in bohol.ph. I've read a lot of the articles at bohol.ph, and even used some as reference in articles. Hence, the interest.--Pinay06 17:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I am not the Jeroen of Bohol.ph. Jeroen is a very common first name in The Netherlands ;) I do know somebody, who knows Jeroen Hellingman however. It's a small world. I see that you uploaded many photos of Bohol. Very nice. As written in my reply on commons, I also have some more pictures available from landmarks and churches in Bohol. I will upload them soon. Magalhães 21:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Just though of letting you know that I've finally touched base with Jeroen Hellingman (also from Netherlands) at bohol.ph. He has some very good resources. Check out Project Gutenberg of the Philippines. Maybe I can hook you both up, too. Let me know. Best regards.--Pinay06 16:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I missed this reply somehow. That website is indeed a very good source. I will start reading it to see whether is contains usefull stuff for use on Wikipedia. Magalhães 08:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] locator maps for Philippine Tarsier and Chocolate Hills

Is there a chance you can help with location maps for the Philippine Tarsier and the Chocolate Hills? --Pinay06 22:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I am not very good in making maps (although I studied Geodesy), but I can edit existing maps. For example the maps of User:TheCoffee. Magalhães 08:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
For the Chocolate Hills, maybe you can use the Image:Ph_locator_bohol_carmen.png‎ then color in Sagbayan, Bohol and Batuan, Bohol. These are the primary locations of the hills, although Proclamation 1037 includes the towns of Bilar, Valencia and Sierra Bullones. --Pinay06 08:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
As for the Philippine Tarsier, we can use a Map of the Philippines, and just color in their geographic range: Bohol, Samar, Leyte, and the islands: Maripipi Island, Siargao Island, Basilan Island and Dinagat Island.--Pinay06 08:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
ok. I will try to do that this weekend. Magalhães 13:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Award

I award you this barnstar

for your help the Sandugo and Sandugo Festival articles, and maybe many more..--Pinay06 10:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC).

thanks for the award, but I did not contribute that much to these two specific articles as you can see in the history. Magalhães 13:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
You did make a comment which helped me decide on making the 2 articles separate. Anyway, it was invaluable, and Sandugo is the very first few articles I created. Hence, the special thanks for all those who helped...

[edit] USC Talamban pic

Hi! Can I use your University of San Carlos Talamban picture in the University of San Carlos article? How to use it since it is in Netherlands version. Please help. What other pictures do you have of Cebu and Bohol?--Guest818 04:18, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I have uploaded the picture to commons, using the same name. This means you can just include it in the article by using [[Image:University of San Carlos Talamban.jpg]]. I have many photos available of Cebu and Bohol. A couple of them are already uploaded to either the Netherlands version or commons. You can find them on this page. When the picture is on the Dutch wikipedia, you just have to upload it to commons. All of them are Public Domain, as far as I remember. Magalhães 15:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you...I did try to do that, but it did not seem to work. Thanks for all the pictures.--Guest818 17:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re do i know you?

No, that wouldn't be me. I've been to San Francisco a lot, but I've never lived there. Filipinos are all over the place, though. --Guest818 23:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Just checking on how the upload of other pictures of Philippines and Bohol is coming along? Please don't forget to update me. Thanks. Best regards. --Guest818|talk 05:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I have a lot of photo's but do not know whether they are really interesting enough to upload. Also, I do not know the name of some of the buildings that are on the pictures. I will try to do a couple this weekend. I am extremely busy, because I am changing job and buying and selling a house. Magalhães 21:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
They might be needed in any of the articles in List of Bohol-related topics. --Guest818|talk 19:32, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I have uploaded 10 more pictures taken on Bohol. I hope you can use some of them. You can find them in Category:Bohol on commons. Magalhães 10:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Certainly, they will be of much use. Thank you. --Guest818|talk 10:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] bohol.ph

In case you didn't see my note: I've already gotten in touch with Jeroen at bohol.ph. Just FYI. --Pinay06|Talk|Email 19:30, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I missed that reply somehow. That website is indeed a very good source. I will start reading it to see whether is contains usefull stuff for use on Wikipedia. Magalhães 08:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Check out http://www.bohol.ph and http://www.gutenberg.ph - He leads both. --Guest818|talk 10:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rating articles

Its more an art than a science IMO. I tend to treat species as low importance except for really famous ones (like dodos), familes as either mid or high, orders as high, and just a few articles are top. As for quality, you had the right idea with the eagle. The swallow article was nudging towards b, there was plenty of info there, but to my mind it was too poorly organised and there were too many gaps. But it isn't worth worrying about too much. I tend to only rate articles when I'm too fried to write them! Sabine's Sunbird talk 18:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
