DYK nomination of Philippine Assembly elections, 1907

Hello! Your submission of Philippine Assembly elections, 1907 at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that 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! Arctic Night 20:09, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Just expand the bibliography information for the reference, and your DYK nomination should be fine! Good work! Are you from Cleveland?

I'm going to sleep. Please remind me tomorrow if you need help. Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 01:38, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I was going to use other references, but those other references still use the Cullinane one so I figured to use the Cullinane book as the main reference. As for other fields something screwed up lemme take a look. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 03:20, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

DYK review response

Hello, thank you for doing the DYK review for The Mystery of a Hansom Cab. I have responded to your comments, at Template_talk:Did_you_know#The_Mystery_of_a_Hansom_Cab. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 15:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I responded, again. The quote from the cited secondary source states: "it went on to sell over half a million copies worldwide, outselling Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet (1887)". Satisfied? :) -- Cirt (talk) 15:46, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I have replied back. I reworded the hook. Per your suggested wording. Is this now done? :P -- Cirt (talk) 15:58, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Good? :) -- Cirt (talk) 16:06, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

You know, you could've not given me blow-by-blow updates here as I will spot them there as I also had a pending nomination. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 19:04, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Poblacion

I note that in some articles about the Philippines the word POBLACION is used. This doesn't appear to be an English word - can you tell me what it means and is it Tagalog or Spanish? Thanks, Denisarona (talk) 11:50, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I reckon it's Spanish -- in Tagalog it means town center. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 13:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

P.S. We have an article for that. See poblacion. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 13:55, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks for your explanation - I've been trying to reconcile the Spanish = population with its use in Philippine articles. It's now clear. Again, thanks for your time. Denisarona (talk) 14:12, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Dear Responsible, could you take into analysis my consideration here?

Brgy. Ginebra Roster

Someone edited the roster - Special:Contributions/112.205.20.57 - And it seems Marlou Aquino "returned" to the team? Is there a proof? Or is it another "vandalism case" there?.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Draven Corvis (talk • contribs) 15:35, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

In cases where people take too long to revert you can do it yourself. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 15:26, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Admin behaviour

per Misplaced Pages:In_the_news/Candidates#Grammy_Awards and Misplaced Pages:Administrators#Administrator_recall. for an admin whos supposed to be level-headed and objective those NPA were way beyond his scope. He also used NPA's against me, after which i clarified mine wasnt an attack and he still reiterated them. What process to remedy this can we take?Lihaas (talk) 20:16, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

For some reason, I like admins like this. If I were one I'd probably do the same thing. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 01:53, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Cory A.

You know, I ended that debate, after one user thought he could be insolent - (a member of a people receiving development aid. Anyway, at least you revealed, what lousy people you Filipinos are. (If you lose a debate, then you say: "Go away" - but still want money. Just sucking money from development aid without doing anything essential. Ah, and about the so called OFWs. Non-essential works can be also done by others, so OFWs are fully dispensable. What have Filipinos done any achievements so far in science and technology: not a single shit. --Bone1234 (talk) 09:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Pacific Rim map

Thanks for the Pacific Rim map. Would it be easy to re-generate centered on the Pacific Ocean? I think that would be more logical given the subject matter. Thanks again! -- ke4roh (talk) 19:11, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
