Talk:Surigao–Davao Coastal Road

Tag: Third-Party
I would like to clarify about how it got into the tag third-party even though that the source clearly comes from the DPWH Atlas as well all the other routes that I have cited upon. The DPWH Atlas is not a blog first and foremost. Kindly reply as soon as possible. Thank you. Marwan_Khan (talk) 06:08, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

It's not a blog, but it is hosted on a government website, and unless road construction works differently in the Philippines than in most other countries, the government of the Philippines is presumably affiliated with or directly responsible for major roads in the country. It's not a big deal, as the content is uncontroversial, and in hindsight a "single source" tag may have been more appropriate. What is slightly more concerning is that when I tried to confirm the nature of the cited source just now, all provided links timed out (as did my attempt to access the home page of the hosting site). But again, roads are not terribly controversial, so it's not a condemnation against the article, just a potential area for improvement. signed,Rosguill talk 16:49, 7 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, that's odd. Considering that the DPWH Atlas has been up since 2016 at it has been updated annually. I'll try to consult to HueMan1 about it after his return. It has been the main source of all the routes in the Philippine highway network, especially Mindanao. Until then, the tag stays on. Thank you for the clarification.

 * DPWH Atlas has been up since 2015. What can I do for you? -- hueman1 (talk)  09:19, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
