Hello, I'm Philg88. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Scarborough Shoal without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 11:47, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Scarborough Shoal

Hi Markxvi! It seems you're trying to remove one paragraph from Scarborough Shoal article, but you haven't explained why in your "edit summaries", and this is why other editors (including myself) have reverted you. When other editors disagree with one of your edits, it is customary to explain your reasoning on that article's talk page. Wikipedia is built on consensus, and consensus is often reached through discussion! As I come to your talk page for the first time, I notice that you've explained your reasoning on Philg88's talk page. Your points are actually excellent, so you shouldn't have trouble convincing others. Just make sure you post your comments at Talk:Scarborough Shoal so that other editors can see them and not get the impression that you're just removing content you don't like. Cheers!

Markxvi (talk) 07:04, 14 March 2014 (UTC)I dont know how to put explanation im sorry for that. Perhaps you can do it for me. The reason why I kept on removing the subject paragraph is that it contradicts the whole Philippine claim in the page. The removed paragraph says that Philippines have a newer claim as against the Chinese. As you see, it is stated in the Philippine claim that the Panatag Shoal is included in Washington Treaty in 1900. It also says there that: "The Philippines also claims that as early as the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, Filipino fishermen were already using the area as a traditional fishing ground and shelter during bad weather." Same as with: "In 1957, the Philippine government conducted an oceanographic survey of the area and together with the US Navy force based in then U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay in Zambales, used the area as an impact range for defense purposes. An 8.3 meter high flag pole flying a Philippine flag was raised in 1965. An iron tower that was to serve as a small lighthouse was also built and operated the same year.[30][31] In 1992, the Philippine Navy rehabilitated the lighthouse and reported it to the International Maritime Organization for publication in the List of Lights." If we will include the removed paragraph it will only destroy the thought of the whole Philippine claim in that page - it runs contradictory. More so, the basis of the contention of the said paragraph is a statement made by an ambassador(or foreign affairs secretary) which is in contradictory with the other paragraphs stated in Philippine claims section. I suggested that the subject paragraph be move in Chinese claims section because such paragraph jives with their claims. I hope you understand even though my english writing is not that good.[reply]

You need to explain this on Talk:Scarborough Shoal not here, if you need help moving your comment, please ask. Meanwhile, please do not revert the page again until the issue is resolved - you are already in breach of the three revert rule and should technically be blocked for your actions.► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 07:39, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Scarborough Shoal, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. See Talk:Scarborough Shoal#Edit war over Philippine claims. Also, please read WP:EW, WP:3RR and WP:ES. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 09:01, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Markxvi (talk) 10:45, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Please do move my comment there to legitimize everything. I really don't know how to do things here. all i know is just to edit.[reply]

Hi Markxvi! Thank you for posting your explanation on my talk page. And I know it can be stressful to get messages on your talk page and not know what to do about them. But I know you can do it!

To post your comments on the talk page of the "Scarborough Shoal" article, go to Talk:Scarborough Shoal#The contested paragraph, click "edit", and post your explanations at the bottom of the text. It's as easy as editing, so you should have no problem with that!

Also, you're right that some Wikipedia content should be removed! Any editor is welcome to "be bold" and just remove what they think is wrong, unbalanced, not properly referenced, etc. Just don't forget to explain why! Between the text box and the "Save page" button, you will find a wide rectangular box called "Edit summary (briefly describe the changes you have made)". In that box, you can say things like "correcting grammar" or "removing non-neutral text that contradicts the rest of the section" (or whatever else you want). If someone "reverts" your edit, that's fine: just go to the article talk page and explain in more detail why you think you were right. Other editors will join the discussion and everything will be fine!

Finally, when you post on a talk page, just type ~~~~ at the end of your message. This will automatically add your signature to your message.

These little tricks should make editing Wikipedia more enjoyable for you! If you need help about anything, just come to my talk page and ask! Looking forward to seeing more of your contributions.

Can I add a comment to an edit that I have done before? If yes, how? Markxvi (talk) 12:32, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, unfortunately you can't. If you want to explain an old edit, you can use the talk page of the article where you made that edit. Go to that article and then click on the little tab called "Talk" on the upper left corner. You can then open a "New section" (find these words on top of the page) or add your comment by clicking "edit" next to the title of the relevant discussion topic. Hope this helps! Madalibi (talk) 13:15, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot consider that as falling within the claims of the Philippines because the line saying that: "a new issue on overlapping claims between the Philippines and China" is not a claim but a mere statement of fact. It does not deny nor affirm any claim on the side of the Philippines. Since there is no history section in that page and the disputed line is somewhat biased in favor of the Chinese, it would be better if it will be placed in the China claim.Markxvi (talk) 08:03, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Markxvi! Would you mind if I moved this paragraph to the article talk page where all editors can see it? Madalibi (talk) 08:13, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I see that talkpage? Markxvi (talk) 08:54, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's very simple. There are two tabs above the article title: one says "Article", the other one says "Talk". Just click on "Talk" and you get to the "talk page". It's the same for all articles, user pages, etc. If you post on a talk page, all the editors who are watching that page will know that you posted something, and they can discuss your points with you. Good luck! Madalibi (talk) 09:04, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 10:50, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bicol Region, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Naga (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
