Tourism in the Philippines bloated

The article Tourism in the Philippines is over bloated and is mainly being used as a coatrack for excessive images and lists. As it is it reads like an advertisement and is a mess of an article. Mostly edited by a single person with a revolving IP. Needs eyes to clean it up to Wikipedia standards. Canterbury Tail talk 11:50, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

• Unfortunately, the same can be said about most Tourism sections within province and city/municipality articles. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:19, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

User:Ramsky78‎

Ramsky78 (talk · contribs) has been adding repeatedly long plain lists of every hotel, restaurant, school, or other institution to Philippine LGU articles, contrary to WP:NOT and despite warnings. Considering his high number of edits, I'm asking other editors to keep a watch. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:27, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

He's not responding to your warning right? HueMan1 (talk) 02:49, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey guys?

Template:PH brgy table lite

Can we talk about the template PH brgy table lite? HueMan1 (talk) 02:47, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

@HueMan1: What about it? --Bluemask (talk) 01:32, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

@Bluemask: I'm having trouble with the parameter names. --HueMan1 (talk) 02:50, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

@HueMan1: I added a documentation for {{PH brgy table lite}}. Anyone can expand that. --Bluemask (talk) 03:54, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

@Bluemask: Thank you for that --HueMan1 (talk) 04:37, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Font Used in locator maps

And @Bluemask: do you have any idea about the font used here?

@HueMan1: let's ask our regular map makers (Scorpion prinz, TheCoffee, Seav) for that. --Bluemask (talk) 03:54, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

@Bluemask: Are they active? And do they use SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file format? --HueMan1 (talk) 04:37, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

I am active but I am not actively making any maps for Wikipedia now since I am working on improving OpenStreetMap instead. My earliest maps are not SVG, but I did create SVG maps too but with text outlines instead of embedded text that could be translated. See File:PH locator map dinagat islands basilisa.svg for an SVG map that I created. —seav (talk) 06:22, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

BTW, the font is ITC Officina Sans. But if you want to create SVG maps, it would be better to use one of the open/free fonts supported by the SVG renderer used in Commons: [1]. —seav (talk) 06:31, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

@Seav: and @Bluemask: Thank you for that. --HueMan1 (talk) 04:59, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm trying to convert png locator maps to svg for easier editing. --HueMan1 (talk) 05:04, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Btw @Seav: is there any way to make commons render this font? --HueMan1 (talk) 05:08, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

That is unlikely. Commons only prefers open source fonts and Officina is definitely not open source. —seav (talk) 05:33, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

@Seav: Well in that case, I have to vectorise every single letter that I'll use for the conversion. Thanks for the help. --HueMan1 (talk) 07:24, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

I don't have SVG versions of the maps I made, and I haven't been active in a while. TheCoffee (talk) 23:48, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Help

This IP: 112.204.106.75, added a LOT of unreferenced material that violates the Manual of Style of Wikipedia. (This topic is about General Mariano Alvarez, Cavite) HueMan1 (talk) 05:17, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
