Talk:List of provincial name etymologies of the Philippines

some references

• Bulacan came from "Bulak" [1]

• Misamis origin is obscure but probably came from "Kuyamis", a variety of coconut

[2]

• Palawan came from the Chinese "palan yu" or beautiful harbor

[3]

• general list of origins (not advisable as main source but would be useful for searching for terms.)

Older provinces and names

Do we include here names of old provinces or old names for provinces (like Quezon's Tayabas, Siquijor's Isla del Fuego, or Biliran's Isla de Panamao)? --seav (talk) 01:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... perhaps we can make that as a smaller companion list? The tables aren't to big to accommodate that amount of data--Lenticel ^(talk) 13:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's a good solution, a minitable of sorts. --Howard the Duck 13:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Notes, References, Cites, etc.

Hi,

I just stumbled over this page. I've boldly made some changes in the citation style which I think will improve this article and ease its development. I've changed the {{Cite book}} templates to use {{Citation}} instead, moved the citations themselves to the References section (where they can be ordered in a way which is useful to the reader) and placed {{Harvnb}}s which link to the associated {{Citation}}s in the <Ref>s, introduced a Notes section and moved the {{Reflist}} there. This is in expectation that there will be instances where it is desired to separately cite several pages of a single book -- individual {{Harvnb}} instances can cite separately the relevant page(s), and all link to a single {{Citation}} giving info about the book. If I've been too bold here, feel free to revert my changes. Cheers. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 00:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

For some reason it doesn't work... --Howard the Duck 03:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
