UPLB
Hi user, this concerns the UPLB entry.

Thanks for your interest in improving the page. However, I found that some of your revisions need to be edited for better grammar and composition. I would suggest that you make the revisions one at a time so the community can review them properly and make the necessary edits. Please make sure that the revisions are also backed by references. Cheers! -- Ajesg

Hi! Also concerning the UPLB article. You've misinterpreted the data in the document cited for the student and faculty populations. Please check the talk page of the said article for the explanation. Regards! -- Meynardtengco (talk) 04:40, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Please double check if your source for the old photos (the soft copy of Centennial Panorama uploaded at slideshare) indeed does not infringe any copyright. The book is relatively new/recent. -- Meynardtengco (talk) 00:16, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

The source for the old photos is indeed new and yes the book is still copyrighted. However, the photos themselves are not. They've expired years ago. There is no copyright infringement since the photos are the ones in question, not the book (layout/scan of a page/contents). Moray An Par (talk) 02:29, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Anonymity
Hi. I did edits at the article you are discussing with an IP, not my nick, because I discovered she was not in prison, and I read violent association things (not RS), and I did not want my identity associated with such an article. I already discussed this with other editors elsewhere, after discovering about the violence and not being in prison. I ask that you not draw attention to me as an editor, and I ask that you remove comments about me on the WT project page for this reason. What you observe there is correct, but not for the reasons you thought. If I edited with my WP name on those articles, and not an IP, I made an error. Thanks. :) 71.121.31.183 (talk) 03:15, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Well that complicates things. But considering that you've already made edits on the Pear Asian page with your account, it's not hard to deduce that your IP and your account have the same person behind. I would suggest that you just stick with your account. That way you'll not be disclosing your IP. It's safer that way. It's actually quite easy to trace your home address through your IP address. Just limit the amount of personal information that you disclose in your account and you should be safe. Moray An Par (talk) 03:30, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That is not good. I am not editing at home, but at a shared IP at a business. I had no idea an IP can be traced to an address. That is not good for me. I thought she was in prison because I read the SEC that they successfully prosecuted her. But it turns out that they successfully her, and prosecuted her husband David Korem the same month, but in a different case, and he is in prison (he only got two years, for his 3rd felony conviction. Go figure. I think it is best for me not to draw any attention at all. I hope you don't mind, but I blanked the talk page section at the project page so as not to get any more attention than I already am doomed to, and anyway, I admit to it looking weird, for the reason above. Yikes. These guys are violent. She is not the only one in their group. 71.121.31.183 (talk) 03:38, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I won't restore it myself given that it was done under good faith but I don't think other editors will agree. You can try using http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp . Input your IP and check if the location that it displays is actually your location. Usually it'll display the address of your ISP, but there are times that it'll actually display the personal address of the user. Moray An Par (talk) 03:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

University of the Philippines Los Baños GAN
Please don't start the review page when nominating. I have asked an admin to delete this false start. If you start a page in this way it sits ion the WP:GAN page and appears to be under review, so it is a sure way for the nomination to be overlooked. Please read the instructions carefully, many of the GAN functions are performed by bots so all you need to do is to put the GAN template on the talk page. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:43, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry. Moray An Par (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've tagged it for speedy deletion. Do I need to remove the GAN Nomination at the GAN page? Moray An Par (talk) 16:58, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

overlinking, re: campus of uplb article
Hi there, just wanted to bring this one up, because I've edited wikis so far with the understanding that links in a photo caption do not count as a repeat of a link in the body. Quoting the MOS re: repeated links...
 * "There are exceptions to this guideline, including these: "'where the first link is in an infobox, navbox or similar meta-content.'"

Don't captions count as meta-content? I checked that article for other links before I created that link,and found none other than the caption. I dunno if I really wanna push for this, as the specific case doesn't really matter that much to me, except that, as previously stated, I tend to advocate for ease of browsing for the user being more important than, er, layout neatness. And I find myself wondering what your stand on this might be. :D Just so I know, I guess. - Alternativity (talk) 15:15, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh my. I hadn't realized you'd gotten the article nominated for GA. Nice work. I think my question holds, although again I point out it's really just a question for clarificatory purposes more than actual action. - Alternativity (talk) 15:18, 4 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh I haven't read that part yet. Haha. It's actually up for FA. I invite you to critique it please. Moray An Par (talk) 01:52, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It's here at Featured article candidates/Campus of University of the Philippines Los Baños/archive1. Please do note instances where you feel the article is lacking. Your familiarity with the subject will be great help. Moray An Par (talk) 01:58, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Deletions
Hi Moray An Par. The purpose of the schools project is to improve articles rather than make lists for mass deletion. For example, all schools are exempt from deletion at WP:CSD, so that  does not  mean they  need to  be sent  to  WP:AfD instead. Our usual practice is that non notable school articles are redirected to the education section of the page about their locality - a discussion  at  AfD  is not  necessary for this. Please read the various pages of the school project  that  you have joined, and in  particular, follow the links to  any  pages that  concern notability, AfD outcomes, and deletion. In the meantime please do  not  list  any  more schools for deletion, and do consider helping  the project  by  improving  the schools listed for attention  on  the project  page. If you need any  help,  don't  hesitate to  contact  me directly  on  my  talk page, or one of the project  coordinators. You can also  post  a message at  WT:WPSCH, or ask  a question  at WP:WPSCH/H. Thanks for your continued support of the schools project! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. I am aware of that. However, if I had redirected them all instead to their town articles, that surely will be perceived by many as too drastic. That is why I nominated them for afd; to receive opinions from other editors. We are both aware that many afds result in redirects. Having had them nominated is a good way to build community consensus if they really should be redirected. Moray An Par (talk) 12:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

For these schools you need to check more carefully if they have a high school element, as every one I have checked does so. High schools can escape at AFD. Please do not mass nominate schools for deletion. And if you don't intent to notify people properly do not nominate at all. Remember the aim here is to build an encyclopedia, not to destroy it by deleting articles. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:15, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I did check if they had high school components, however, some may have slipped me given their sheer number. That is why I am thankful that you checked them. I'll heartily withdraw those with high school components. I too believe that they are automatically notable (well that is per our current school article guidelines). There is nothing wrong in mass deletion if the topics do not deserve their own articles. However, this must be supported by other editors. That is why we propose them first and not delete them on sight. I do intend to notify them all, that is why I asked if their is a bot for this purpose since the process of notifying them all can be quite time consuming. I'll start informing the rest by the time I finish writing this reply. I'll inform it in the nomination page when I have informed them all. Deletion is not evil (although this is not policy, but I believe we can both agree on this). Deleting articles which are not notable is just as important as writing those which are. Moray An Par (talk) 12:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi again. I see now that  you  have only  been around for a month  or so, so  it's quite possible that  you  may  not  have read all  the relevant  policies and guidelines yet. I'll  admit  that  for the 'Encyclopedia anyone can edit' there are an awful lot of rules and stuff that  must  be slogged through, understood,  and adhered to -  that's the downside of it. As Graeme correctly  points out, we are here  to build an encyclopedia, not to destroy it by deleting articles. School articles, however non notable,  unreferenced, and badly  written, are hardly nefarious and certainly  very  few of them  are posted by  companies trying  to  get  some free advertising, or vandal or attack  pages. That's why  in  fact,  we generally  don't  delete them  at  all,  and why  they  are exempt from  WP:CSD. High  schools are all  inherently  notable, and primary  schools, unless they  really  have some special  reason  for a page of their own, are almost all uncontroversially redirected to  their locality without  needing  discussion. You  could do  this your self in  the time it  took  me to  go  through  the schools on  your AfD  list. In  any  event, before doing CSD, PROD, or AfD  on  any  article, you  are expected to  do  some significant  research  first, such  as I  did by  checking  the Internet  for all  those schools on  your list. You  don't  even need to  make your own  mind up  whether you  personally  believe articles should be deleted or not -  we have a maze of guidelines that  provide you  with  all  the criteria, and all  you  need to  do  is to  apply  them.
 * I strongly  suggest  that  you  take a couple of hours to  read these pages:
 * WP:NPP
 * WP:DELETION
 * WP:BEFORE
 * WP:CSD
 * All the pages listed in  the sidebar of the WP:WPSCH main  page.
 * When you've done all that, you'll find that  the quickest  way to recognition  for your work is by  creating, repairing, expanding, and improving articles. Of course,  it  takes more time by copyediting  or looking  stuff up  on  the Internet  and in  the library, but  most  of the tens of thousands of editors here do  just  that.  That  said, if deletion  is really  something  you  can't live without, it  would be certainly  more helpful  to  the project  if you were to  track  down  all  the real  spam  articles we get  from  the Philippines, and other Asian  countries,  and anywhere else for that  matter.
 * As I said before, if you need any  help or any  policies explaining,  don't  hesitate to  contact  me directly  on  my  talk page;  or talk  to  Graeme or any of  the other admins who  have offered you  advice. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:37, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for helping me out and researching if they had high school components. I'll keep those policies in mind. I have no strong opinions against redirecting them instead of deleting them. However, since those still nominated and not withdrawn are still to establish their notability, my opinion against them having their own articles stands. By the way, next time that I do see such articles (elementary and pre-elementary schools which are not notable) should I redirect them right away per WP:BOLD? As I said before, I didn't want to raise suspicions from other editors who would notice me suddenly redirecting lots of articles (around 50 on this nomination). I though that it would result in an edit war. That is why I asked for other editors opinions through the afd. Moray An Par (talk) 13:50, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * There are just a few rare exceptions where a school article can be deleted. One is in the case of high  street  language institutes that  are just after some free advertising, and another is when an article is a blatant  copy  of a copyrighted website or other source. I think the point I am  making is that according  to  our guidelines, generally  no school articles need to  be deleted. I  batch  redirect  nn schools all  the time; and once they  have been redirected, they  don't  have their own article - put  another way, it's a kind of 'soft' delete.  Because it  is a perfectly  standard procedure, it  won't  arouse suspicion of any  kind,  or cause an edit  war; remember, most  of these Filipino school articles have  been created by  write-and-run WP:SPA who  have long  since forgotten they  ever posted an article here. That's why  so  many  of the pages  have slumbered for years with  'noref'  templates on them - nobody  is bothered.
 * Any editors who nominate or  vote for deletion  of a school  at AfD,  do  so  because they  are themselves unaware of the special  conditions  for schools. As  I've  said before, nobody  knows all  the rules - there are around 5,000 pages of them and not  even we admins know them  all. What  we do  know quite well  however, are the rules of the areas we specialise in. Three  of my  specialities are indeed deletion policies, New Page Patrol, and schools.  At Wikipedia, I  just  follow the accepted procedures, and try  my  best  to  help those who  are not  yet  familiar with  them. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:26, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * On the option to redirect, this is so that the content is merged into the target article, so an article about a town can include sections about each school in it. The idea is not to delete the useful content, but to have it in a more useful place. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:35, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, indeed, Graeme. At the risk  of my  post  above getting  TLDR, I  should have added that it's a good opportunity  to  start  the education  section  on  a town page that  doesn't yet  have one. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:49, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Moray An Par, you seem to have forgotten to merge the content of the school articles that are becoming redirects. The condition of having a redirect is that the material can still be read as some kind of paragraph or section in the locality article.  So what you should do is go back the the history of the redirected school articles and copy and paste the useful content to the locality article with an edit summary that says where the content came from.  Then Jack and Jill can go to bed! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh I see. I did forget that. I'll work on that. Thanks for reminding me. Moray An Par (talk) 10:05, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Remember our aim to create the compendium of all human knowledge, so we should write about things that are not so notable that they deserve their own article, and that writing should go into an appropriate broader topic. The schools are in this situation.  When the closure is merge and redirect then the text should be included.  Of course it can be trimmed to remove cruft, but the reliable information should go in.

Oblation Run
I think that having a list of the Campuses where Alpha Phi Omega does do some sort of Naked Run would be useful in the article since it isn't exclusive to UPD anymore (though certainly most well known and longest existing at UPD). You probably have better access to Filipino sources that I do (I can't read Tagalog or any other Filipino language), however my access for Alpha Phi Omega might be better (I'm on the International Relations Cmte for Alpha Phi Omega-USA). I think it would be a hoot if we could get it to GA...Naraht (talk) 11:05, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll do research on that. I'd probably have the list by 2 hours from now or, if not, by tomorrow. As for making it a GA, that's a nice idea, and I promise to help in the process. I cannot pledge to do it now though since my attention is still on De La Salle University. I'll start working on the run as soon as I get the La Salle article done. Moray An Par (talk) 11:20, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Will add references for Mindanao and Manila when I find them. All I can find for now are blogs. Moray An Par (talk) 12:10, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Great! I've heard of runs being done by chapters at non-UP schools by Alpha Phi Omega chapters in the spirit of the Oblation Run. Some mention should be included even if there is dispute over whether they are Oblation Runs...Naraht (talk) 15:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Jack and Jill School et al
I am in the process of undoing a few of your redirects. It is fine to redirect elementary schools that don't give any indication of notability but substantial articles and high schools should not be redirected. Substantial pages on elementary schools that you don't consider notable can be individually listed at AFD. TerriersFan (talk) 14:57, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

DLSU Bar exam explosion?
Do you expect that an article will be done on the 2010 DLSU bar explosion? The one they arrested an APO brod for?Naraht (talk) 00:19, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. I was actually surprised how there wasn't an article about it given that it was so well reported by media here in the Philippines. I intend on starting it sometime in the future. Nepomuceno is an APO brod. But I was careful not to mention it in the article since it wasn't really relevant unless I discuss that authorities believe that the blast was, in part, a frat war. Discussing such detail should be reserved for the article itself. Was it reported by media in your country as well? Moray An Par (talk) 02:02, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm an APO-USA Brother, but on International Relations for APO-USA. and get email alerts for Alpha Phi Omega google news. I was looking for a link on it when I added the theme for the 2010 Oblation Run and noticed it was on the DLSU template, but a redlink..Naraht (talk) 04:00, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Need a little help:)
Hi, I see that you're actively creating new articles related to UP and DLSU. I myself worked on some articles related to UST. Unfortunately, one got deleted mostly because of violations in photo licensing and vandalism (improper editing by some). Could you help me restore an article? The article is University of Santo Tomas seals and emblems. I can't really figure out how to put photos without violating Wikipedia rules. Can the articles deleted before still be recovered? A similar article with a different name was created by another author, but it also got deleted for the reason that it's a gloried gallery. I hope you can help me on this matter. Thanks! Pampi1010 (talk) 18:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for noticing my efforts in Philippine universities but I would like to correct your statement. I am not sure what is your definition of a new article but for me it is creating new pages. The only new page that I've created is History of De La Salle University, which was not even my own content. So I don't really create new article but merely improve on existing ones.
 * As for your second question, I haven't seen your article so I cannot comment much. You didn't tell me what was its name, the link for the afd, and when was it deleted. Yes, articles that are deleted can still be recovered. Nothing ever really gets deleted here. In Wikipedia, deletion is merely hiding the page from everyone who is not an admin. See Requests for undeletion.
 * I am not sure if I can support you in recovering it. I have doubts if UST logos are notable enough and have significant third-party/outside coverage to deserve their/its own article(s). Moray An Par (talk) 00:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. I took the trouble of finding it. Articles for deletion/University of Santo Tomas seals and emblems. I agree with them. However, if you would like to work on other UST topics like the university article, history, people or individual colleges, I can very much be of assistance. Moray An Par (talk) 01:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That's a quick one, thanks! That article is the only one I'm itching to recreate.  Now, with the link you've given, I'm gonna ask them to undelete it and make the necessary improvements.  Maybe spare some photos for a while till I figure out how to put them properly.  I see that the major problem in the article is its lack of encyclopedic content... I was afraid that I have to deal with similar problems before that's why I'm not keen on reviving it.  Overwhelmed too by the red warnings of photo licensing.
 * Anyway, you're pretty active and so good at improving articles. Keep it up!  I didn't even notice before that UPLB had such articles till some got higher ratings.  I also noticed that UP has a Wikiproject and it's downright extensive.  As much as I want to create one for UST, my knowledge of Wikipedia engineering is so limited, and maybe UST is a topic not big enough to have one.  Thanks again Pampi1010 (talk) 03:18, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course it's big enough, you'd be surprised how there are WikiProjects on individual television shows. I mean we can both agree that a four-hundred year old university is much more significant than a series with 50 episodes. The real question is the number of those willing to edit UST articles. I believe we have both realized that there are not too many Filipino contributors here, much less UST alumni. If you're really determined to create WikiProject University of Santo Tomas, I'd suggest that you recruit Wikipedians first. You can start with UST alumni (I think User:TheCoffee is one, I am not that sure about it though) and Wikipedians who had major contributions on UST articles. Good luck! Moray An Par (talk) 03:42, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks Narath! Pampi1010 (talk) 17:21, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Moray An Par! I was able to get the attention of the admin to edit the article again.  [] I may be able to come up with new content, but I might face the similar problems on the photos.  So you see, the article is all about the college logos, and since all UST colleges have Wikipedia articles, my plan is to get the logos from there.  I don't have such a good idea, do I? Pampi1010 (talk) 03:21, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I suggest that you change all logos to "File:example.png". Wikipedia does not allow displaying of fair use photos in the usernamespace. Now with the article, the real problem is notability. Are the logos notable/significant outside the university? This would usually be indicated by significant coverage by third-party sources (not published by UST). Unless this is satisfied, then the article will just become, as they said, a glorified gallery. You need outside sources that describe that logos and its history mainly. Moray An Par (talk) 03:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! What do you mean by changing?  Should I just change the 'File' and file extension?  Or upload a new one?  When I tried changing the 'File' from 'Image' and putting .png instead of .jpg, the photo can't be viewed anymore. Pampi1010 (talk) 06:41, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * What I meant was "File:Example.png" (see right). It's name is really "example". Moray An Par (talk) 07:06, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for moving Talk:List of University of the Philippines people to Talk:List of University of the Philippines Diliman people. That's something that should have been done a LONG time ago. (In fact, until just now, I'd thought there WAS a UPD people list, and this one was supposed to be a combination of both. Hm. Anyway, thanks again. - Alternativity (talk) 11:10, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. The list still needs a major cleanup though. Removing Los Banos alumni should be prioritized. I can't do it myself for now though since I'm still cleaning up another list. Moray An Par (talk) 11:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Will do what I can to help. - Alternativity (talk) 14:30, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Palacký University of Olomouc/GA1
Thank you for reviewing. I will certainly pay attention to the issues raised. Especially I had not realized that they changed the whole web page, and thus half of the citations became dead. Cimmerian praetor (talk) 15:51, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Good article review: University of the Philippines Los Baños
Thank you for the work you have put into the article University of the Philippines Los Baños. The article is rather impressive although a few small fix ups need to be done before this article can be promoted to GA-status. I have put the review on hold for seven days to allow you and other editors to help address the concerns noted within the review. I look forward to working with you towards bringing this article to GA-status. Leventio (talk) 08:19, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

INC
The INC article has been unusually stable recently, so I'm hoping to continue the trend. I noticed that you deleted some material. Could you explain your deletions on the talk page please?  Will Beback   talk    08:07, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm de-adverting the article hence the large change in its history section. All statements in its history are now cited while all claims previously there that cannot be supported or mundane were removed. As for the Organization and Architecture section, don't you think it's better now. It's more detailed where it actually explains the INC structure and how the average kapilya looks respectively, while giving their backgrounds and other interesting info. All these are cited. As for the doctrine section, I refactored it into beliefs and practices sections to conform with other articles. As for the beliefs section, I only changed the lead so far and added a section on INC's views on the Bible. Again, these are all cited.
 * If you have concerns regarding the POV or dubious statements in my edits or in the INC's article, I advise that you state them in the talk page for transparency's sake, and to allow other users to participate in the discussion. Moray An Par (talk) 08:22, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I came off too aggressively. I'm all in favor of improving the article, I'd just worn down by fights I have little understanding of. But I still recommend using the talk page to discuss significant edits, before or after the fact.   Will Beback    talk    10:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'll post in the talk page to consult other editors when I start editing potentially controversial sections such as its criticism section and a section on inter-religious relations (or something like that) that I plan on adding up once I get the time. Moray An Par (talk) 05:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't see any talk page discussion. You're also making a lot of edits with no edit summaries for explanation, including edits that delete sourced material. It'd be helpful if you'd communicate more with your fellow editors so we can understand what you're doing and why.   Will Beback    talk    00:06, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * There. Moray An Par (talk) 00:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Cayetano Paderanga Jr.'s photo
Hi, the photo came from HIS personal Facebook page, not just a fan page. As you may have noticed, the image is high-res and was emailed directly to me by Sec. Paderanga himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbplipke (talk • contribs) 09:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I do not distinctly remember this photo. As you may have noticed, I have participated in numerous deletion nominations. Please provide the name of this deleted file. Having it come from his personal Facebook page doesn't matter. And neither does him e-mailing it to you. We can only have that photo here if he agrees to irrevocably release it under a free licence (such as Creative Commons licenses, etc.). Moray An Par (talk) 13:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

De La Salle University
I finished the good article review and closed it as a failed review. Many of the issues are laid out on the talk page but I did not think that they could reasonably be fixed in one week. In addition, modification of the lead and primary sources will change the article in a way that I believe a new review will be needed. Once these issues are fixed, I encourage you to renominate the article as I believe it has the potential of a good article. Ryan Vesey  Review me!  15:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Armin Luistro
Greetings. I understand you're on partial wikibreak until October. Back in early June you nominated Armin Luistro as a Good Article, and I'm considering reviewing it. I was wondering if you'll be available to make changes if I find issues. If you'll be busy, I understand... if so, I'll just review it as "pass / fail", with no changes expected. But if you'll be available, I'll be more likely to put it on hold and suggest improvements. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 18:22, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
