  • Maintain a continuously ongoing activity within the group

Current selected article

[edit]
Map showing the various maritime territories under Philippine jurisdiction that was the only image in the selected article

The selected article for November–December 2024 is Baselines of the Philippines. The article started as a List-class article that only contained a short background section and then a list of coordinates from the enabling Republic Act No. 9522. The article was selected because it could be so much more by discussing the history of how the country adopted the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea including mentioning the first law (Republic Act No. 3046), the Supreme Court case about the law's constitutionality, its submission to the United Nations with reactions and analyses, as well as its effect on ongoing maritime disputes.
