Geography

• There are numerous duplinks in this section and the subsections. I will not point them out from now, I will rather suggest using this tool yourself to detect duplinks and remove them in the article.

• 'Rice is the next crop being produced "...crop, cultivated in..."
• and correspondingly, with the highest volume of production Why "correspondingly"? Does the use of this type of crops ensure a large volume? BTW it should read "have" not "with". — The first part of sentence indicates that the towns mentioned have the greatest areas planted with root crops, hence, their production volume is highest in the province. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 09:52, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
• is surrounded by bodies of water "by water on all sides" is better

• Sta.Fe, "Sta. Fe"?

Suggestion: Not a must for GA status and not a deficiency, but a copyedit would be in order if you wish to develop the article further.

@Lawrence ruiz: That should be all. You there? Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 09:07, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, Sainsf. I was just busy with work these past few weeks, but I will apply these changes and suggestions soon. Thank you. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 09:04, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

@Lawrence ruiz: I am sorry but if there's been no activity here since 6 days. The review can't go on for long without any response. If there is no activity from your side on this in the next 3 days, I will be forced to fail this nomination. If you are busy, it would be better to fix these issues and renominate this when you have more time. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 04:44, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sainsf: Hi, actually Sanglahi86 already applied the changes to the article based on your recommendations, and I also made a few revisions myself just now. Just ping me if you still found glaring mistakes after your review. Thanks for your patience. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 05:50, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sanglahi86: and @Lawrence ruiz: Thanks for all the changes, did not notice them as the article was not on my watchlist. There are a few issues remaining, I am striking out the resolved ones.

• Please fix these dablinks.
• Duplinks are still prominent.
• I feel we should improve the lead a bit further; at the moment it seems to be focusing a bit too much on the history of the island, it should reflect most of the important aspects of the article. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 06:58, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

I answered some of your questions, Sainsf. I am currently at work so I can't proofread and copyedit extensively. Thanks. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 09:52, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Alright, just keep responding regularly so that this review does not have to be closed due to inactivity. Thanks. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 10:08, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

@Lawrence ruiz: Any more improvements? We have not worked here since 3 days... Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 11:20, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sainsf: Hi! I expanded the lead and added more info in it, as well as spelled out the percent signs on the text (except for those that are part of data tables). I don't know how to use the tool though for removing duplinks. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 04:16, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

@Lawrence ruiz: Thanks for the fixes, but I am afraid I am far too busy to fix such a large number of duplinks myself. I would suggest you to take your time understanding how the tool works; it is really very simple, just read the instructions on the page and sweep out those extra links. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 04:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sainsf: Hello again! I've removed the duplinks using the tool you provided. Big help! Thanks! — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 06:06, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

@Lawrence ruiz: Great! Just one issue more, you expanded the lead but forgot adding links. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 08:38, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sainsf: Hello again! Links have been provided in the lead. — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 09:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

@Lawrence ruiz: Very well, this article is promoted! Cheers, Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 09:31, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sainsf: Thank you so much for the review and suggestions! The province of Romblon owes you a lot! — Lawrence Ruiz (talk) 09:40, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

@Lawrence ruiz: I am overwhelmed! Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 09:42, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
