[edit]Hi, thanks for updating articles on the Philippines. You have uploaded some pictures as "own work", at Ariel Querubin, Willie Revillame and Heidi Mendoza. Wanted to check with you that these are pictures you took yourself. I'll post some guidance about images below. Best wishes, 08:17, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, RobertMaskey, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.
Did you know that ...
- ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
- ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
- ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
- ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
- ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}}

Unsolicited feedback on Political Profiles
[edit]Good Day. I have read your article on Kiko Barzaga and here are some reminders to keep in mind for you to conform to the editorial standards set by the WP:Manual of Style.
- Per WP:LEADCITE, the lead must be mostly free of citations as it is a summary of the body. Conversely, the body must be thoroughly be supplied with citations supporting its content.
- Countries are not linked, per WP:OVERLINK. Per the same principle, parent local government units are not linked (or are linked together with the lower unit; i.e. "Dasmariñas, Cavite" or "Dasmariñas, Cavite", BUT NOT "Dasmariñas, Cavite". In relation to this, per MOS:PHIL, cities are not appended with the word "City", meaning the names of cities should be encoded as "Dasmariñas" rather than "Dasmariñas City". Exceptions and related measures can be seen in the same guideline.
- Honorifics such as "The Honorable" are not included in the infobox per MOS:HONORIFIC.
For a general guide on proper infobox formatting, as well as composition, here is a sample article that you can check for your reference. Note the other reminders in the sandbox's appendix.
Please do reflect on these comments as your errors on the Barzaga article are largely derived from a history of deviations from the Manual of Style that went on to degrade articles of this sort. It may be widespread, but it does not make it correct. TofuMuncher (talk) 04:33, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
