Standardization
Hi, was this edit made in relation to WikiProject Cities or WikiProject Tambayan Philippines? Thanks, Dawnseeker2000  04:00, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That edit was made in relation to the fact that all 1634 cities and municipalities in PH are standardized with the same map. Before changing that, I would like to see a discussion and consensus at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:30, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm all for standardization. Will comment there. Dawnseeker2000  14:58, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Language included on the local name of Cotabato City
Rlamundao (talk) 20:05, 1 January 2022 (UTC) Since one of the de facto official regional languages of BARMM is Arabic, it is better that having specific languages [i.e. Maguindanaon and Iranun] on giving local name on the article about Cotabato should not included. Why? Cotabato City is the regional center of BARMM as it already mentioned on that article.


 * Then how about Tagalog it's also one of the official languages in the region?, It would be better to make the official regional languages be neutral among Bangsamoro tribe. Tbh Bisaya majority areas are even more worse because everything in their city is in their language without even thinking about the minority languages... Bangsataw (talk) 07:51, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

And then, BARMM has different ethnicities. Hence, it would be unfair to different ethnicities in Bangsamoro if non-Maguindanaons and non-Iranun speakers read that article that has local name in Maguindanaon and Iranun Language. To make the local name on this article simple, better if the language use is English, Tagalog [Filipino], and Arabic, since they are recognized on the 1987 Philippine Constitution as one of official and/or auxiliary official languages.

The effect on it is that, non-Maguindanaon and non-Iranun-speaking readers who live in BARMM will not unfair to them if they read the article about Cotabato City since the language used in local name is not exclusive to a specific group. Hence, that article must avoid any ethnocentrism. So that, I have a plan to put the other languages local name of that article with the languages of English, Filipino, and Arabic.

Historical Claims About Cotabato City During Sultanate of Maguindanao
"By 1515, after a successful Islamic colonization in Sulu, Muslim traders went to Maguindanao and converted many of the natives to Islam. Those that did not accept the arrival of the Muslims went into higher ground or the interior of the island and became the Teduray, as well as other lumad groups. During the same year, the Sultanate of Maguindanao was formally established, with Kuta Watu as its capital, and ruled a vast territory in Mindanao from until its total collapse in 1898."

My question right now is that where are the historical proofs that Cotabato City separated to Sultanate of Maguindanao? The phrase on above has no citation. Remember, making historical claims is sensitive and it should have backed with proofs and evidences. Rlamundao (talk) 07:36, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
