screenshot of the news website[edit]

with all due respect to the editor, the screenshot of the abs-cbn news website is placed inappropriately and the image has NO detailed fair rationale use. it is requested that the image be removed or an appropriate section be created for that purpose. -- RebSkii 16:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, there is no "web section" (or would an article about the website be notable per se), so I placed the image in an empty area (My resolution is 1024x768). If a web section is to be created, then that'll be its best place. I've added rationales, so it's waaaaay better than this. --Howard the Duck 17:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

since there is no web section, the image is useless. i will unilaterally make the edit from the section Past Personalities. as i've said, and again, the image does not fit in the section called Past Personalities. there was not a single mention WHY such image should be placed in the particular section. thanks a lot and more power! --RebSkii 17:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So a web screenshot of a major news website should not be here? IMHO, its better to put all pictures at the bottom of the infobox. --Howard the Duck

17:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

that's not what i meant, take a look at your previous edit, you put the image in the section called Past Personalities. which IMO is wrong. period. --RebSkii 18:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So if a picture is in a wrong section it should be deleted? Nevertheless, all of the pics are now at the bottom of the infobox so it shouldn't be much of a problem. --Howard the Duck 18:10, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i simply made the picture hidden. take a look at the bottom most part. --RebSkii 18:12, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

now, that's better. that's what it is supposed to be. and not on a particular section which has nothing to do with the image. in which case, you never explained your part. thanks for taking care of this matter. --RebSkii 18:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I actually explained my part. It signed 17:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC). --Howard the Duck 18:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

international bureaus[edit]

Can you specify which city each international bureau is based out of? --58.69.20.192 13:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Linking[edit]

Don't link names indiscriminately - this leads to incorrect links. The articles on Robert Tan and Alex Santos, for example, have nothing to do with the Filipino journalists of the same name. Few of these journalists will ever have articles written about them. If articles are written about any of these people, links can be added then. Ground Zero | t 03:18, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

vandalism[edit]

I deleted a bunch of edits that I'm 90 % sure are vandalism. Please accept my apologies if I made the wrong call on these. Thanks. GoddersUK (talk) 12:41, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

" Nagsorry"[edit]

Good day sir/madam,

   Puede bang huwag nalang gumamit ng word, "nagsorry." Kasi para sa akin ay masakit sa taenga.

Puede naman seguro gumamit ng, "humingi ng paumanhin," or "nag-apologize." Being sorry is different from an apology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.144.173.14 (talk) 11:34, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs → ABS-CBN News – WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE. It seems like "ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs" isn't even the official name anymore. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 10:55, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support as WP:COMMONNAME. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 14:46, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just wanted to note here: the long name is still in use; just look at the copyright notice at the bottom of ANC's website, and even on their official Twitter account. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 14:50, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep current name, the WP:OFFICIAL name is still well known; it's not in the "what's Bong Go's birth name?" levels of obscurity. Howard the Duck (talk) 22:24, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep "ABS-CBN News" mostly refers to the digital newspaper site (http://news.abs-cbn.com/) rather than the company division (the scope of the article).Hariboneagle927 (talk) 01:55, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Instead ABS-CBNnews.com should be renamed as "ABS-CBN News" rather than this one.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 01:58, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"ABS-CBN News" can refer either to the company division or the website. ABS-CBN newsreaders always emphasize its website as "newsdotABSdashCBNdotcom" in broadcasts, so it's not 100% that "ABS-CBN News" refers to the website. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:28, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 10:57, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Hariboneagle927 and Howard the Duck's inputs. Seconding motion for ABS-CBNnews.com to be renamed "ABS-CBN News" instead.- Batongmalake (talk) 06:34, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
