PH LGU article order
Hi Gerry. Thanks for all your hard work on WP. I see you put in a lot of effort! Just a few thoughts on your recent edits: 1) Please keep the Barangay section under Geography (where this exists). This is the established order for all LGU articles. This would need to be discussed on the WikiProject talk page before making widespread changes per WP:BRD. 2) Sections that discuss mere tourist attractions should not be a subsection of Economy. Tourism can be under Economy only if it discusses the economic impact and related economic issues, but most of these attraction sections don't do that, so they are out of context under the Economy section. 3) It is not helpful to any article to add empty sections. And don't forget to add WP:RS for the info you add. Thanks again. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:51, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Can I have the source for the "established order" for all LGU articles? I follow the format of Metro Manila LGUs by the way where barangay is under Local government not under Geography. Your appreciation to my efforts is hereby acknowledged on editing WP. Your other concerns are considered. Thanks. gerryyabes 15:44, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- There are over 1600 LGU's in PH. Obviously I can't watch them all, but AFAIK most articles had Barangays under Geography (where Geography section exists). And I'm sure that for Metro Manila, the barangays were also under Geography at one point. Maybe they need to be made consistent again... -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 16:25, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- I am still looking for that "established order" you're talking about. Should I follow that "established order" and disregard the format of Metro Manila LGUs now where barangays are now under Local government? Please provide me consistent answer so I can do the back-edits. Thanks for replying. gerryyabes 16:32, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- The established order was the result of common practice and logic, not a policy. At one time all articles were consistent. Like I said, I can't watch all articles, so I am not aware which are no longer consistent. But making changes that will affect all 1600 LGU articles are better discussed in advance on the WikiProject talk page. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 16:45, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- You said "at one time all articles were consistent" do you mean you were able to watch all articles and you're no longer able now to check all for consistency? How that possible? And should I do back-editing or no? I will prefer to follow the Metro Manila LGUs format since the established order is declared by you as "no longer consistent" since you're not watching all articles.

Copied content?
Hey, I'm kinda confused by the contents of this edit. Did you copy them from somewhere else, like Las Piñas? —Compassionate727 (T·C) 18:27, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Las Piñas into Caloocan. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 03:26, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
