WP Ethnic groups' rating
Thank you for the rating. Please let us know what else to do, or the next steps. Please keep me updated, too. Best regards! --Pinay06|talk 20:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * As far as I understand it, the B rating is the highest rating an article can have before passing through the test of good article nomination (see WP:GA), a good article "plus" can get an A rating and the top level is the featured article (it appears in the main page, see:WP:FA). So in brief, the article is quite good (as far as I, a total ignorant on the Eskaya people, can tell): it is well organized, NPOv, sourced and has an small but nice infobox. Guess that adding some images: one or two pics, a map maybe, would help it to become a GA. Not sure: it's more an stylistic matter than anything I can help with, really. Thanks for the smile, btw. --Sugaar 21:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello! Thank you for the details. Yes, we will definitely work on the suggestions. The pictures will be uploaded soon. Please include Eskaya in your watch list so that you can be kept updated, too. Best regards. --Pinay06|talk 21:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Abueva article
Pinay, Thanks for the Abueva article. You saved me time in researching. ;) --Bentong Isles 10:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Pinay, Actually gi link man god siya gikan sa 2006 Dalit Bisaya nga ako gisulat. Ako man god batasan diri sa English wp nga sulaton kadtong mga pula nga link gikan sa akong mga sinulat. ;) Maong gapasalamat ko nimo kay kapoy bayag research, hehehe. Bitaw, akong tan-awon unsa pay akong mapuno, apan morag more or less kompleto na man ning imo gisulat. Tuod pod, may untag makatabang pod ka sa Cebuano nga Wikipedya, ubay-ubay na baya pod tag artikulo didto, labi na sa mga writer nga Cebuano. Higala pod diay mong jeroen ;) Lastly, gipuno tikaws Category:Cebuano Wikipedians aron tulo na ta ;). Kon duna kay laing nahibaw-an nga nagtabig Cebuano nga active diri, pls. ko add. Thanks! --Bentong Isles 12:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

In Eskaya, Reference No. 17 doesn't show. I don't know why? What did I do wrong? Thanks for the help. --Pinay06|Talk|Email 05:09, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The reference immediately before that one wasn't closed with a forward slash. I closed the preceding reference and #17 appeared properly.  SWAdair 05:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. My SOP seems to be: check a couple of screens listing recent changes, then check Category:Wikipedians looking for help, check a couple of screens of recent changes, then check the category again.  That lets me get some work done while also frequently checking to see if anyone needs help.  We seem to be online at the same time so I'm likely to be one of the frequent  responders you'll see.  Happy editing!  SWAdair 05:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Jose Abueva
Hi! I have the same problem with Reference No. 6. The knack for this seems to be escaping me. --Pinay06|Talk|Email 10:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC) I'm still scratching my head over that one. I just went through it line by line and everything looked right. I'll check it again, but I wanted to let you know I wasn't ignoring you. Give me a few minutes... SWAdair 10:39, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Got it! Hehe... it is amazing how computers will do exactly what you tell them.  When the kalayaan reference was declared, there was an extra = sign in the declaration.  I removed the extra one and everything works fine now.  That was very easy to overlook.  In fact, I must have looked at it five or six times before I saw it.  Basically, what happened is that, as far as the software was concerned, kalayaan was never declared because the syntax was off ever so slightly.  When you used that reference again, it didn't have anything to reference to.  All fixed now.  SWAdair 10:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That was so amazing! I also could't solve that, for days! I should be chair of the Oversight Committee by now. hehehe. But, once again, my gratitude. It's "kalayaan" indeed! (freedom) --Pinay06|Talk|Email 10:59, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

University of Bohol
I was just following maybe 2 students from this school doing an entry. The school website is down, so the most likely source, as they indicated, is the student handbook. In their talk, I told them to see Ms. Magno, etc. the registrar for release of the info to Wikipedia and consequently public domain. I don't know if you agree with me, but as admin, you may check. Thanks. --Pinay06|Talk|Email 11:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I reverted to an earlier version to remove the copyvio. I'll drop them a note about copyrighted material.  Oh, and I'm not an admin.  I'm a former admin, but I requested voluntary self-revocation of admin status back when I thought I wouldn't be able to remain active on Wikipedia.  I've returned and since racked up a couple thousand edits (mostly reverting vandalism), but I'm just a regular user, like most folks here.  SWAdair 11:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Noted! Thanks again. --Pinay06|Talk|Email 11:20, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, you are a veteran here now. BTW, I will be turning one month in about 40 minutes! --Pinay06|Talk|Email 11:22, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Only one month here and you've already racked up 2092 edits. Quite impressive.  SWAdair 01:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Really? My, my...I wasn't too busy, was I? --Pinay06 (Talk*Email) 01:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank You Ma'am
Greetings! Thank you very much for the message. I am sorry if I created a little hussle with the University article here at Wiki. I intended no harm. I was just thinking maybe it is good that other people must have information about our university. I thought it was enough to write UB student handbook as a reference. Maybe I was wrong. I did not know what I have writen was also published in UB website. Haven't seen UB website since I started my schooling in UB. I am sorry and I will be careful next time. God Bless Ma'am and thank you for reminders. Happy holiday! MysanMia
 * No problem day. Salamat sa imong pag tagad ug paggahin ug time (akong binisay on aron dili sila kasabot, hehehe) Btw, na sayang baya ko sa imong gigama, pero naa ra man na sa history, usba lang day if naa kay time in your own words aron pod ma butang siya ba...Tuod, dili baya ko taga UB ha! --Pinay06|Talk|Email 05:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you ma'am. I admit my fault man pod mam. I should have revised the text on my own words. i will work on it mam. Have a great day ug merry xmas - Mysanmia 05:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC)MysanMia
 * BTW, websites, student handbooks, or any publications are copyrighted materials, and can only be released into public domain, or to anyone like Wikipedia by the administrators like Tirol. Since you are a student there, what you can do is write the article in your own words using the references you can avail of. Hope that explains. Puede nimo i review ang history, unya usba lang ang info sa imong kaugalingon, in your own words. okey? Buotan ka. Pasalamat jud ang UB nimo.  Happy holidays to you, too. --Pinay06|Talk|Email 05:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you ma'am. Kulbaan baya ko kay unya ug patawag ko mam magno, makic-out palang ko UB fourth year na ra ba ko. kaingon ko makatabang ko unya mali man diay to ako gihimo. Thanks sa lesson mam. God bless u!Mysanmia 05:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)MysanMia

Awit sa Bohol or Bohol Hymn
Hi! I saw you helped with the ogg media for the Philippine National Anthem. Can you tell me how to go about uploading the Bohol Hymn? Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pinay06 (talk • contribs) 02:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
 * Sure. First, you need to find out if the recording is able to be uploaded in the first place. This is mainly for copyright reasons. Once you determined that, you download the mp3 file to your computer. Download and install Audacity, a free program I use to convert mp3 files to Ogg Vorbis. Convert it, then upload it like you are trying to upload a photo. Add it to the article using the method of your choice and you should be set. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 08:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * User:Gwern put another suggestion on my talk page. I have not used what Gwern uses, mainly since I do not have Perl scripts installed on my computer. Use what program you feel is best for you. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 20:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Nationalist People's Coalition
Regarding for a Filipino translation of the party name of the NPC I think its better just to keep the English name rather than the Filipino translation, because it was founded on that name, and as far as I can remember, no NPC politician has ever named their party or coalition into a Filipino translation. But its your discretion if you want to have a Filipino translation on the name. And note that Juan Ponce Enrile founded the NPC after he bolted for Nacionalista Party in 1991 and invited Danding Cojuangco to run under the banner. NPC is like a more conservative, nationalist wing of the NP, a hard-line right wing to be exact. --Glenncando 20:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

maps
I have moved List of Bohol Locator Maps to Talk:Bohol/locator maps because a) image-only galleries are deprecated and b) the content is already in List of Municipalities of Bohol, Philippines. Seek at least one second opinion before moving it back into the (Main) namespace. Also, I don't know whether they are your work, but please be sparing with capitals in article titles. Thus, the titles should be: -- RHaworth 19:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

 * List of Bohol locator maps
 * List of Bohol flora and fauna
 * List of Bohol churches
 * List of Bohol landmarks
 * List of Bohol school
 * List of Bohol festivals

Talk:Bohol/locator maps
Thank you for the message. I could have deleted other list by db-author noting your comments, thus, there is no need for the above talk. As for the other lists, yes, they are my own work and yes, I will make the necessary moves. Thank you for the corrections. Very respectfully yours, --Pinay06 (Talk/Email) 19:35, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Lohan vandal
Since blocking is preventative and not punitive, I'll give him a warning and if he vandalizes again, then I'll take action. -→Buchanan-Hermit ™ /?! 02:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You trust me? Oh, that might be a mistake... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! :D -→Buchanan-Hermit ™ /?! 02:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry I didn't see your message earlier. I was gone for the day, Christmas shopping. Anyways, looks like the vandal has stopped. You might want to try reporting the user to WP:AIV as well if he continues to vandalize. I'm not always here, but if you post it there, I'm sure one of the many bored admins out there can help out too. :) Thanks. -→Buchanan-Hermit ™ /?! 11:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Philippines flag
By a stroke of luck, I found these guys, who seem to speak my language (of vexillology that is) so I will talking to them about the Philippines flag. Thanks again for everything. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I managed to get some of the flags redrawn in SVG, mostly the color variants used in the past. However, I am not sure if I want to try and make the Katipunan flags in SVG, but I will figure something out soon. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 19:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: request admin intervention on vandal
Sorry I didn't get this earlier but, obviously, the vandal stopped. This appears to be a static IP somewhere between&mdash;you guessed it&mdash;Denver and Boulder, Colorado, and apparently likes only local articles. Either that, or schizophrenia is a possibility... ;) RadioKirk (u|t|c)  19:08, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Francis Escudero
I apologize for the delay in responding. Work took me away for awhile. It seems that there were three references that were never named: chiz, toym and upperhouse. These were all used to call up a reference but had never been given anything to point to. It was fairly easy to figure out which non-named reference was appropriate for chiz, so I named that one for you. If you know which non-named references are appropriate for the other two, then naming them should take care of the problem. SWAdair | Talk 08:23, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Re Online status
Hello! Sorry for the delay in responding to your post about me being online. The situation's a little complicated and I couldn't reply back then, so you may want to leave me an e-mail---i.e. visit my talk page, then click on "Email this user" to email me. I don't usually enable the option to receive emails, but for you I'd make a temporary exception and I'll keep it on until after you email me :) I'll be looking forward to hear from you.

Thank you for the barnstar
Thank you. The barnstar is much appreciated. You and Guest818 have both awarded me barnstars that each of you are more deserving of than I am. I need to stick a post-it note to my screen reminding me to award barnstars when appropriate. I don't do enough of that. Pinay, you are the tireless contributor here. I just help when and where I can. Thank you, though. You made me smile. SWAdair | Talk 04:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello
Thanks for the messages. I will check out the Eskayan links. As for the essay - I cannot help you there. My suggestion to you would be to check out your local library and perhaps initiate an interlibrary loan (if you live in the US) so they can obtain it from another library. As for the maps - those will have to wait until after the holidays since I have too much going on right now. I do have a question for you, though. I see that you've been instrumental in the Panaghoy sa Suba article. I have been longing to see this movie especially since it's in Cebuano - do you know when it will come out on DVD??? Salamat kaayo. --Chris S. 11:47, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Alburbanner.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Alburbanner.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 02:12, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
