Talk:Central Visayas

Infobox in talk section
The Talk section of this article has an infobox that is easily the longest I have seen. Is it perhaps too long & detailed for our purposes? Or too heavily laden with political/linguistic axe-grinding? It is certainly informative, but I am not sure if a discussion of Tagalog/Pilipino belongs in an article on an area that speaks Cebuano/Bisaya/Visayan. If so, why in Central Visayas rather than just Visayas? Or even Philippines?

I certainly would not just delete it. I'm inclined to think it should be radically shortened and/or moved, but do not know enough to undertake those tasks. Other opinions? Volunteers? Pashley (talk) 08:11, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Cities list
Is Carcar actually important enough to belong here? Or Bais?

Should other places be added? Perhaps Moalboal which gets a lot of tourism? Toledo (Cebu)? Someplace up in the North of Cebu Island?

Why do we list "Siquijor town" for which we have no article, with the link going to the province? Should we instead link to Larena, which I think is more important, even though that is currently just a redirect to the province? Pashley (talk) 08:49, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Debatable claim
The Talk section says of Cebuano:
 * With more than 20 million native speakers, it is the mother tongue for more citizens of the Philippines than any other.

I do not think that is currently accurate; Tagalog language says that has 28 million native speakers. However, the claim may have been accurate before the government chose Tagalog-based Filipino as a national language & language seems to be a politically-charged issue for at least some Filipinos (see infobox at right).

I'm inclined to just delete the sentence, but don't want to do so without consultation. Other opinions? Pashley (talk) 13:23, 24 July 2017 (UTC)


 * No comment, so I removed it. Pashley (talk) 16:07, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
