Legislative Districts of the Philippines

Hello,

Just want to ask if you have a kml file of the districts that you used here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:15th_Congress_of_the_Philippines_party_standing.PNG. I'm planning to do an interactive visualization that needs district polygons. Unfortunately I can't find such on google fusion tables.

Thanks in advance.

Filipino nationalism

  1. My understanding of WP:MOSNUM is that date formats should be consistent throughout an article (which here they weren't) and should align with local practice.
  2. My understanding is that here in the Philippines dates generally are expressed as dmy, as evinced by for example newspaper headers and dates on TV.
  3. My understanding of {{date}} is that it displays dates in a format determined by local (user's) settings.
  4. My understanding of what you have done is that you have trampled all over the article imposing US date formats, contrary to local practice and reverting my earlier work.

John of Cromer in China Philippines (talk) mytime= Tue 16:40, wikitime= 08:40, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Dates in the Philippines are mostly in MDY when written in English. See this certificate of candidacy for example, and the Philippine Star website, Manila Bulletin website and the Business Mirror website (Philippine Daily Inquirer's are DMY, for some reason). Therefore, your points one and two actually mean that the date formats should've been MDY all along. I don't have strong feelings on {{date}}, so you can reapply that, and as for your 4th point, this is a Wiki, it's natural for your work to be changed. –HTD 15:05, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Ako Bicol Political Party

Hello! Your submission of Ako Bicol Political Party at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Intelligentsium 04:45, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey. I've suggested an alternate hook based on yours at the DYK nom page, if you care to take a look. I've also ce'd the article going off the sources as best I could, but if anywhere I've inadvertently changed the meaning you're free to revert. Cheers, Intelligentsium 23:10, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
Letting you know I did a full review and there are still some problems to work out to get this through. Hook is good to go with some reference additions at the article and a QPQ unless I missed something. I'm watching the nomination page, so will respond quickly to get this through.

Hi there, Howard the Duck! I'm working with a group of Wikipedians on a Legislative Data Workshop to explore ways of using legislative data to enhance Wikipedia, and since it's a subject area you've been active with, I figured you might like to know of it. We've set up a provisional WikiProject at Wikipedia:WikiProject United States Federal Government Legislative Data (WP:LEGDATA) where we're developing new ideas, so if you'd like to offer your views or help out, we'd love to have you join!

2013 local elections in the Philippines.

It's not so much the size of the electorate, it's the significance which gets me. These elections are for city councils, barangay captains and the like. At least Saddleworth (where I had a girlfriend a long time ago)(Delph anyway) was for national representation as an MP, and as such the same level of importance as any other MP. Added to which I got rather peeved with some messages from an editor who seems to have signed up just two days ago.

Lucky I got called away to dinner; lucky too the Smart bro mobile internet service is so pathetic here.

John of Cromer in Philippines (talk) mytime= Fri 00:23, wikitime= 16:23, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Hmmmm. I'm of the opinion that it has something to do with population, and how other countries structure their election articles. I guess the Saddleworth example was a wrong one. A sorta good analogy would be the Oldham Council election, 2012. Unlike Navotas local elections, 2013, which has info on all local elections in that place (from the mayor to the city council; no barangay captains, they might be elected on October), Oldham Council election, 2012 is only about the city council election per se (that said, do the councillors elect the chief executive?). Navotas has a population of 249,000, while the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham has 225,000. Both elections are held with several other elections on the same day. In other words, they're pretty much the same.
Anyway, there's a discussion at WP:WPE&R precisely on what happened. Take a look there. –HTD 16:36, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Your example is good. Oldham Council election, 2012 was created solely to display election results, not to form some kind of hustings. There are some very strange decisions within WP:NOTABILITY John of Cromer in Philippines (talk) mytime= Fri 09:17, wikitime= 01:17, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Election articles aren't meant to be just tables of results, in fact, they're discouraged to be on be stats and stats full of tables (WP:NOT#STAT. Election articles were to meant to have prose about what happened. –HTD 03:22, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Here's one that just came up on the error list - Luton Council election, 2011. Guy has just started building it, two years later. Completely pointless. I think the article should stop after the opening table, which tells you all you need to know. John of Cromer in Philippines (talk) mytime= Sat 00:32, wikitime= 16:32, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Unfamiliar to politics in Luton, there should be something else to write about that: why did Labour gain so many seats? Is it lining up to be a reflection of Luton's representation in the UK parliament, where Labour have dominated since 1997? What caused the Lib Dem's fall in votes, in the wake that they were about to challenge Labour in the council? They were not able to challenge Labour though in Westminster elections (they've consistently ranked third). Was this (the fall of the Lib Dem vote in the council elections) because all of the blame of the coalition's woes fell upon them? So many questions that can't be answered by a table alone... –HTD 16:44, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

I think Meralco and TNT cannot be labeled yet with the w's since Meralco still has a game to go and TNT has 2, one of those happening today. I know that y will be given to teams with 10 wins and x will be given to teams with 7 wins. Both of them have 6 wins, so they can clinch the Top 6. It would be wrong giving the w to three teams. So I'm removing it for a while and wait until Apr. 17 to give the corresponding letters to 3 teams (ROS included). PitsConferGuests 07:34, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Aren't those 2 guaranteed of no worse than the #7 seed? That means they qualified for "w", which is a twice to win disadvantage at the QF. –HTD 07:35, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

"It means football club"

No shit Sherlock!!!!!!!!! Since you know f all about footy, you probably just found that out very recently and are trying to show your supposed football knowledge by trying to tell me and everybody else that "it means football club". LOL!!! The club isn't simply known as "Global". By putting "F.C." like the majority of football club pages, it should be piped as "Global". It's "Global FC", just as it also is on the frickin club logo. But of course you wouldn't know that because you know f all about footy!! So why don't you just stay the f away from football related articles and stick to your politics!! It's quite fitting as well... you being into politics that is because you act just like a typical Filipino politician, perhaps like a celeb being a wannabe politician. You get into things you know f all about but still go on and try to show people that you know what your doing because you think you could be of some difference when in fact you're not and just make things worse!! Again, just stay f away!!! Banana Fingers (talk) 21:55, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

FWIW, it's "Global" on TV scoreboards and not "Global FC". The Philippine Daily Inquirer doesn't use "Global FC", instead using "Global", in one of its articles. Thus, it is perfectly valid to refer to the team as "Global".
And your club logo argument is invalid since Leeds United is at Leeds United A.F.C. instead of "LUFC".
If you insist, you can initiate an WP:RM. –HTD 04:02, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


On the Map Showing the Archdioceses of the Philippines

Sir, in your map of the different archdioceses in the Philippines shown in the page Roman Catholicism in the Philippines, I have noticed that you seem to have mixed up the color coding for the Archdioceses of Nueva Segovia and Nueva Caceres.

Need help!

Can you help me editing this Tarlac City local elections, 2013 by adding the totals and percentages --Moneygame 00:25, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

I think you did well? Are you looking for valid/invalid votes? –HTD 00:51, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, and the percentage of the city councilors,I dontknow how to do it and also the Tarlac local elections, 2013for the mayoral elections Moneygame 03:25, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

To find the percentage of city councilors (or provincial board members), divide the number of votes to the number of people who actually voted. Do not use the percentage displayed on the COMELEC website as it divides on all votes cast. You can use the percentages for single winner and party-list elections though.
To find the percentage of valid votes, add all of the votes of the candidates, then divide the sum to the number of votes to the number of people who actually voted.
To find invalid votes, subtract the number of people who actually voted to the sum all of the votes of the candidates. To get the percentage, divide total invalid votes from the number of people who actually voted.
Don't forget to multiply the percentages to 100.
Hope this helps. –HTD 04:15, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

But how if the percentage in the websiteof COMELEC adds to 100% but has invalid or blank votes? --Moneygame 06:46, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

AFAIK the COMELEC doesn't display the invalid votes. You'd have to compute it. –HTD 07:45, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Iranian presidential election, 2013

Something about Iranian presidential election, 2013. In the colors section, most of candidates don't have any official color. What we should do? Please help us, Thanks. Tabarez (talk) 18:48, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Use "rowspan=2" in the cell where the candidate's name appears. –HTD 18:52, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Ooops I thought you were referring to polling section. What section is this? –HTD 18:54, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
See article. The one user says the official colors must be included in the inbox, but only 3 out of 8 candidates have official color. 2 others not officially announced their color, as unofficially said their color is yellow and red. Tabarez (talk) 19:03, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Unless the use of colors is regulated by law, I don't think it has to be "official" to be used. With that said, most sources (or the sources must seem to have consensus) must use that color to be used to denote a particular candidate to be used in the article. –HTD 19:12, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
You said use unofficial color? And what about candidates that said they have no color? Tabarez (talk) 19:15, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Depends. If sources assign a particular color to a candidate, and if most sources agree on that color, you may use that. If someone disagrees, I'd say a candidate explicitly saying he has no official color should have more weight, unless the sources are near unanimous in agreement. –HTD 19:19, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Officials: Aref, Rezaee, Rouhani
  • Un-officials (Sources said): Ghalibaf [2] (if you see, in his official newspaper he only used yellow in topic but in other parts is different between red, green and blue), Velayati [3] (he only uses brown in his notes), Jalili [4] (it's his official logo and all is red)
  • Others: Gharazi (is independent and we must use the color of independents), Haddad (he says he have no color, gray is a good for this). Tabarez (talk) 19:33, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Do you agree with me? Tabarez (talk) 19:33, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
I honestly don't know. If newspapers and TV consistently associate a color to a candidate then you can use that. For all other options better to leave it blank. –HTD 19:36, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
In fact, there are no claim of color in these "sources". This is just your interpretation of a campaign photo. Ghalibaf's campaign manager denied this claim of color.Farhikht (talk) 19:45, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm a member of Ghalibaf's campaign and we used yellow as our color and we knows other candidates with colors I said. Tabarez (talk) 19:52, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Our basis should be reliable third party sources. For example, AFAIK, the Republican Party doesn't have red as its sole "official" color, but practically all sources consistently use that color to identify the GOP. If newspapers and TV don't agree on a color, don't use it. –HTD 01:27, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey Howard,

Great work on your map (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2013_elections.png) but need to advise you that it needs updating. Kuwait holds legislative elections on July 27, 2013 and it would make your map updated and more accurate if your blue color code was added to Kuwait's location.

2013 fiba asia

china is clearly qualified, please leave it alone. in your three way tie scenario they would have a goal average well above 1, which makes it impossible to be last amongst three teams. the tie breaking rules have assured them of at least 3rd

The GAvg will be games amongst tied teams, which would be CHN, KOR & MAS. Since KOR vs MAS is the last game amongst those 3, we won't know the GAvg until after that game is done. –HTD 14:44, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
I will explain it again, then please fix it. Since China's goal average, amonst the tied teams that you indicate, is already determined, and their goal average is above 1, then it is absolutely impossible for them to be third out of three teams. It makes no difference what the score is between KOR and MAS, one of those two will have to have a goal average below 1. Please be more careful, and go back and fix this.18abruce (talk) 14:52, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. Only games amongst the (potentially) tied teams will be calculated. That means games involving Iran are disregarded. If all 3 teams are still tied there only then would overall GAvg will be consulted. –HTD 15:11, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
You were plenty clear, let me make this even simpler for you, I cannot understand why you don't get this. In China's games against KOR and MAS they have scored 172 and have had 85 points scored against them. If they finish in a three way tie with KOR and MAS those will be the numbers used right? How the hell will they be third out of those three teams when they have scored almost 90 more then they have given up? If only the scores of the teams involved count in the tie breaker, than the total points for and the total points against from the three teams must equal each other---so if China is +87, one of the other two is going to have to be minus, and have a GA of less than 1. I don't want to be insulting, but I really don't understand why you don't get this.18abruce (talk) 15:20, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

The Capital City is by de facto, the Metro area. Furthermore, they mentioned the full population of the city i.e. Mexico City (Including it's sub-cities) totals 8.84 million, Beijing 20 Million and Cairo, 6.76 million (In each case, they even have a metro article to supplement the main article however, the metro info is still the primary material in the main article).

When I was futilely editing the Manila to conform to the universal standard, I was already making huge understatements when I didn't equate Manila with the Metro itself (As what the universal standard demands) rather I only related it. Likewise, I mentioned the Metro's total population (As the Universal Standard demands) but I didn't do so comprehensively. I'm so sorry but im really just updating OUR article according to the standard. That's why we really need, (As only a miniscule step to this), to relate the Metro to the city and mention the metro's whole population.

If my previous editions were redundant then I am sincerely sorry for doing that and I will work on a more streamlined version. Nevertheless, at least now, I hope you understand the rationale over why I edited those that way. Thank You very much.

There was a sentence about the metro already on the lead. What you did was make two almost redundant sentences, the difference is that the second sentence has a badly capitalized "12 Million". –HTD 04:04, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
