Replaceable non-free use File:YummyPhPabalat.png
Thanks for uploading File:YummyPhPabalat.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука13 20:40, 5 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I've added my explanation justifying the use of the non-free image on both the file's description and talk pages. Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 02:52, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Tambayan Philippines header icon display issue
Hello. The icons added in   look good. However, in mobile view, these icons cause the corresponding text to overflow beyond their tabs. I checked the header code and see nowrap used. Can you please fix it? Or perhaps we can do away with the icons? Thanks. Sanglahi86 (talk) 23:39, 13 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Actually the tabs aren't really compatible with mobile or narrow screens as far as I know. It also seems more like a coincidence that the icons add extra width to the tabs, causing them to overflow (more) since on some screens it also used to overflow even without the icons.
 * I'll try to find a way, but if not, I'll remove the icons. Thanks for letting me know! Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 04:16, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

UST seal
Consider replacing this template template with these templates and provide valid rationales so that the file can be displayed in the History of the University of Santo Tomas and University of Santo Tomas pages. Hope it helps. -Ian Lopez @ 16:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Traffic law in the Philippines. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:52, 7 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Oh okay, I'll make the necessary attributions. Thanks! Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 11:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Cycling in the Philippines
Great work in Cycling in the Philippines! Maybe add it at WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests for copyediting to further improve it? It will take at least two months before a volunteer could start doing it though, but it is worth the wait. Sanglahi86 (talk) 16:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I actually have submitted it for peer review in the past, but I haven't felt like resubmitting it again since I don't think I can do any major changes to the article for now. Still, no harm having someone to take a look. Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 16:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Transportation Task Force
Hello! As one of the participants listed, I am inviting you to help in establishing the article guidelines for Transportation Task Force. I hope you can share your thoughts and improve the quality of Philippine transportation articles. Thanks!  Hiwilms   Talk   14:40, 29 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I've actually contributed to the guidelines in the past, specifically on expanding RouteBox and RINT template for other transport networks outside of railways. I'd be glad to help when I have the time as I'm currently not that active on Wikipedia right now due to work. Thanks for the invite/notice! Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 14:50, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
