Cotabato City
initially on wikipedia talk:bug reports - unclear why

Please check your data...

You can get info on cotabato city various webpages. I for one have a webpage on cotabato city (search for "kutawato"...)

Your mindanao page mentions that it is inhabited by muslims, this is quite the opposite. There are places where majority are muslims, like Maguiandanao, Lanao Sur, Zamzboanga. However, recent statistics show that-all, only 30% of the entire mindanao population are muslims.

Sorry I dont have enough time to browse over your blog, but sometime, If i can find time, I would be most willing to go over the data with you.

Have a nice day.

Let me add that muslims are BAD and they stupid killing everything they see. Why has the secction of conlfict been change to QUESTION MINDANAO thats stupid. If i go to a 100% muslims village im sure to be kill there be NO questions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.42.122 (talk) 21:15, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it says that 63% of Mindanao is Muslim with 23% being Christian. The writer may have messed up or something, I think it's theo ther way around because not even in Mindanao do Muslims make a majority. Pretty much, Maguindanao is the only predominantly-Muslim inhabited place in the Philippines. Even places in the ARMM like Sultan Kudarat are predominantly Christian. Christians making a majority in Sultan Kudarat REALLY took me by surprise. I'll check his sources and I'll change it. PacificWarrior101 (talk) 20:53, 28 May 2012 (UTC)PacificWarrior101

Economy
This section deserves to be expanded, as the mining and agricultural industries on the island are some of the largest-scale in the entire country. Mabollin (talk) 01:32, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Environment
Should this be created as an additional section separate from Geography? Mindanao is noted for its biodiversity as well as increased agricultural/mining operations in recent years which have posed a threat to the health of its ecosystems.Mabollin (talk) 01:36, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Borneo
In the first paragraph of the Geography section, the fifth sentence may show an error.
 * "Of all the islands of the Philippines, Mindanao and Borneo shows the greatest variety of physiographic development."

The Philippines only claims the eastern area of the state of Sabah, which is in northern Borneo. PFMuffinStrike455 Talk 19:49, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Datu Kulaman and Datu Pulangi
(121.54.58.241 (talk) 21:01, 27 May 2015 (UTC))Datu Kulaman and Datu Pulangi These are the two datus who stand against muslims invasion here in Bukidnon. Bavey Saraya muslim invaders with his thousands of warriors was the Leader of Muslims who attack with great violence to Datu Maradugao and force to believe and convertd to Islam religion. That is the reason why most of Southern Mindanao is now belongs to Islam religion.But, our ancestors Datu Pulangi, Datu Kulaman, Datu salagapon, Datu Tigwa, Datu Umayam, and etc. stand firm to resist against the invaders. Datu Maradugao was defeated in war because he was outnumbered with muslims invaders, in the same manner datu Pulangi was outnumbered but with the help of our God they throw away Muslims back to their place. Datu salagapon kills more than 300 enemies by pulling them down at Pulangi waterfalls. Datu Kulaman with Datu Pulangi kills hundreds of his enemies by chopping them at the top of the big rock in the place called PANADTARAN, but today is called Barangay Panadtalan, Maramag, Bukidnon. I will continue the story next time... This is Edgar Ugtal Sofia- BSE THE SOTRY WAS COME FROM THE ORAL STORY OF MY GRAND PARENTS.1/28/2015 The names of Datu here is the bloodlines of Apo agyo, Apo Tulalang, Apo Lana,Apo Sagondoyan Vahukanen they are the great warrior in central Bukidnon... to be continued — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.58.241 (talk) 21:19, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Colonization by Filipino Christians
I've done a little revising and copy-editing in the section Mindanao in order to make the prose more concise. There is still work to be done in this section. There is considerable duplication of material, with the same thing said two, three, or even four times, the tone of several statements seems politicized rather than written from a neutral point of view (see WP:NPOV, and the writing is often unencylopedic in both style and tone. I'm thinking particularly of things like this:


 * The Americans started a colonization program on Mindanao for foreign agricultural companies and Filipino Christian settlers against the native Muslims and non-Muslim Lumads of Mindanao, in order to secure the area with a Christian presence and help the American military assert control over the area once it was conquered.


 * ...with the American colonial government helping to kick natives off their land (unencylopedic writing)

This sentence is not only too long, it is ungrammatical, and "humongous" adds to the unencylopedic tone of the section:


 * The Americans used their control over property and land laws to let American corporations and Filipino Christian settlers take over Lumad and Moro Muslim resources and land and depriving them of self-governance after eliminating the sovereignty of the Moro Sultanates, and ignoring Moro requests for their own independence, with the Philippine government continuing the colonization program after independence leading to a humongous number of Filipino settlers streaming into Moro territories, and this led to Moros making moves for independence and armed struggle against the Philippines.

I'd be glad to help with the prose and with consolidating similar material, but someone who knows the subject matter needs to work on the section first. CorinneSD (talk) 03:52, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes I agree it needs a major cleanup and is also very contentious in tone. GCaisle (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, I absolutely agree with your statement. As a person living in Mindanao, Cagayan de Oro City to be exact, the History section of this article focuses way too much on this topic of Moro Muslims and completely ignored much of the modern history of this island that it felt like this article was about ARMM and Moro Muslims, not Mindanao as a whole.

Serious Grammatical and Partisanal problems with this page
GCaisle (talk) 14:58, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Here is an example, which should be checked and rewritten (and possibly moved elsewhere in the article):

Although many attempts made, it was never occupied by Spain for their 333 years of stay in Luzon and Visayas. Yet during Spain's defeat and Treaty of Paris in 1898, they illegally included by coordinates Mindanao and Sulu to its supposed claim of colonial right of conquest. Despite this, during the American occupation after the Spanish-American war, they discovered Spain's claim was untrue. Through political maneuvering to include Mindanao and Sulu, another nation, the United States to be absorbed Mindanao in order to construct the Philippines.

Inconsistency between Marawi Siege section and WP article linked
The section of this article called Marawi Siege says that thousands of civilians were killed by the Maute terrorist group. No sources are provided. A live link goes to a main article Battle of Marawi which says 87 civilians died in the conflict according to the Phillipines government. I am not in a position to research this, but if there is someone with knowledge of reliable sources it would be good to establish consistent information. Chris Lowe (talk) 22:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

The island, or the region?
I was going to fix the lead up a bit, but got confused. Is this article about the island, the region, or both? Because the article says it's also known as "southern philippines," and that calls for some explanation. Which is easy enough if we're talking about the region, but not so easy if we're talking about the Island. Which one is it? And if we're talking about both, how should we be writing this article? - Kathy97sub (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
