Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research

Hello,

The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated.

Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.

Always deleting something on the Greater Central Philippine language & Tausg people topic

Hello, I'm just reminding you about regarding the GCP & Tausug topic in Wikipedia that I've already inputed/cited the sources that there are languages spoken outside the Philippine archipelago and Northern Sulawesi that are part of Greater Central Philippine family but the Tausug & Iranun languages. - Tausug or Suluk a South Bisayan language not only spoken in the Philippines (Sulu Archipelago, Southern Palawan, Zamboanga Peninsula) but also in Sabah (eastern coast), Malaysia, Sandakan, Tawau, Pulau Banggi Kudat, Lahad Datu, Kalabakan. - Iranun or Ilanon a Danao language spoken not only spoken in the Philippines (North & South Lanao, Cotabato, South Zamboanga provinces) but in Sabah, Malaysia (mostly in Kota Belud, some significant communities found in Kota Kinabalu, Papar & Labuan, which was separated from Sabah in order to become a Federal Territory). That's all... And what's wrong with it? In the case of Tausugs in Malaysia & Indonesia (Sandakan, Tawau,Semporna, Kudat, Kalabakan, Lahad Datu, Nunukan) & Iranuns of Malaysia (Kota Belud, Kota Kinabalu)? They don't considered themselves to be called Moros nor Filipinos, The term "Moro" is only exclusive in the Philippines because Spaniards used it as a derogatory term for those Muslim people living in the Southern Philippines, the term originated after the Moors of Andalusia during Spanish Inquisition. And yet, Spaniards never made their journey to Borneo (because of Madrid Protocol of 1885). Do I need it to discuss for you so that you will be understand or enlightened? If you don't, try going to the said places there in Malaysia & Indonesia so that you will know. 49.149.100.11 (talk) 07:02, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why was it hard for you to understand? 49.149.100.11 (talk) 07:04, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I belonged to the said ethnic what your're talking about (Tausug). 49.149.100.11 (talk) 07:12, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And that is according to what reliable source? You haven't cited one. —C.Fred (talk) 11:34, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've already told you already. Before the Joshua Project published it, they got it from this somewhat kind ofnjll journal or something with a title:"Kalimantan Utara Province, scattered coastal settlements; immigrants from Sulu Archipelago in the Philippines" from Ethnolouge 2016 (you need to login). 49.149.100.11 (talk) 13:24, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

try to visit the other langauge versions (Bahasa Indonesia, Tieng Viet, etc.) of the topic Tausug people, they used that as a source for 21,000. 49.149.100.11 (talk) 13:26, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other Wikipedia projects are not, in and of themselves, reliable sources. If you're going to change the info, you must provide the source; you can't just say that it can be found somewhere else. —C.Fred (talk) 16:28, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
