[edit] WikiProject Philippine LGUs

Wondering how to edit the article? The WikiProject Philippine LGUs could be of help. :)

[edit] clarification on Bohol Article - LGU or island?

Just checking: the current article on Bohol refers to the LGU Bohol Province, right? It is not the article on Bohol Island which should be a different article...Please clarify. Thank you...Guest818 17:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, there's a different article for Bohol Island. --Coffee 00:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Okey, I should have checked...Anyway, I will see what I can do to check and make sure Bohol is about the LGU Province and Bohol Island is about the island of Bohol. Any thoughts as of the current contents of each right now? Guest818 03:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
The way I see it right now, the contents in the intro in Bohol are about the island, not the Provincial Government of Bohol. I think we need to change the title of Bohol to Provincial Government of Bohol and retain Bohol Island as well as re-direct an Bohol to Bohol Island... I don't know...Just a thought!

[edit] Comments

Please comment on the present contents of the article Bohol and Bohol Island. How else to improve both?--Pinay06 01:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs Overhaul

This article seems to be written in list. Wikipedia is not a list of stuffs, and therefore discourages such. And also the images were placed in the wrong section. It becomes so irrelevant. I am going to remove it if no one contends. --BritandBeyonce (talk•contribs) 08:55, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead and be bold! You can use this reason: Wikipedia is not a directory. Cheers! --seav 09:21, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. --βritandβeyonce (talk•contribs) 10:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Need help. I can't make this alone. --βritandβeyonce (talk•contribs) 10:26, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Reason: Wikipedia is not a directory. Also, Wikipedia is not a travel guide.

To move this back to the page, please make it, if possible, encyclopedic and brief or if not, every item in the list must have a short description so it will not look like a list. Furthermore, to avoid this long list, merging little info to relevant sections is better. Thank you for your consideration. βritandβeyonce (talk•contribs) 06:24, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
