The implication of the term "Insular Government" is not that the Philippines are a group of islands, but rather that this was a government under the authority of the Bureau of Insular Affairs.

Copied and pasted from where?
This was copied and pasted from somewhere but I just can't figure out where and therefore I do not know whether it is under copyright, though some edits have been made that have added to the original. Regardless it needs to be wikified -- some copyediting needs to be done; sections need to be added; missing information needs to be included; etc. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 10:33, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- Don't worry, it is not copyrighted. It's from History of the Philippines. Kauffner (talk) 11:44, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Start date: 1901 vs 1902
The implication of the term "Insular Government" is not that the Philippines are a group of islands, but rather that this was a government under the authority of the Bureau of Insular Affairs. So Spooner Amendment, which authorized the creation of a civilian government, is the logical start date. This law came into effect on July 1, 1901. I found newspaper references to "Insular Government" from July 1901 here and here. Kauffner (talk) 03:57, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Article title
The name "Insular Government of the Philippine Islands" was used only in the titles of U.S. Supreme Court cases, as near as I can tell. It gets ten post-2000 hits on GBooks, all of them related to the various cases this government was involved in. Otherwise, this subject is called "Insular Government" or "Philippine Insular Government." "Insular Government" Philippine OR Philippines yields 1,200 post-2000 hits. The Organic Act, the Jones Law, and the banknotes that were issued just say "Philippines Islands", so they are no help. The 1916 Administrative Code says, "'Insular Government' refers to the central Government as distinguished from the different forms of local government." So the long-form version doesn't seem to be official usage either. Kauffner (talk) 16:55, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
