Talk:Philippines

In the "Biodiversity" portion of this article, it's stated that "Deforestation had reached a record high during the Duterte administration in 2017", with citation 237 entitled, "7M hectares Philippine lands are forested-and that's bad news" by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism on May 12, 2021. I read through that article and the only specific period mentioned was in the portion "Mindoro lost more than 200,000 hectares of forest cover from 2003 to 2015. However, Duterte was elected into office on June 30, 2016. His predecessors, Benigno S. Aquino III (June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2016) and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (January 20, 2001 to June 30, 2010 were in office during the time period mentioned in the citation. The statement is clearly false if the basis is the citation used and should be changed/removed. Chiniwaki (talk) 13:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Whatever dispute might exist regarding the size of the country, I think removing it altogether without first discussing on the talk page seems drastic. - Bokmanrocks01 (talk) 00:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

:It would be best to notify WP:Tambayan Philippines about this recurring issue. Sanglahi86 (talk) 11:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

:All the values I've seen vary around 300,000, it seems fine as a rough approximation and appears to readers as a rough approximation. A lot is likely methodology, given the archipelagic nature of the country. CMD (talk) 11:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

This page says the Philippines is a major 'importer' of copra. Surely this is incorrect, with coconut palms being ubiquitous throughout the country. 112.209.186.83 (talk) 13:43, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

:I am not familiar with the details. The [https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-product/copra/reporter/phl OEC World says] the Philippines exports copra, but also says the country is the "1st largest importer of Copra in the world". Sanglahi86 (talk) 09:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

At 478kb and 11,355 words this article is well into WP:SIZESPLIT territory. Mathglot (talk) 11:57, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

:We already shortened this article before, in order to prime this article into a Good Article Review. New edits bloated it once again. @Sanglahi86 looks like we have to trim this article once more. Also, the article is not bloated due to content but due to the fact that it has such a large number of references.--Rene Bascos Sarabia Jr. (talk) 03:38, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

:I have not been active recently in Wikipedia as I have in the past months began concentrating on improving categories of images in Commons. Indeed as {{ping|Rene Bascos Sarabia Jr.}} had mentioned, the article is not bloated. I have removed the maintenance tag as it is inapplicable; reference size is excluded in the size rule, and the current prose size is only 62 kB (9348 words).
