Philippine Daily Inquirer. ...a veteran Wikipedian, said experienced contributors usually monitor pages which they feel are "particularly vulnerable" to malicious editors. In her case, those pages include: the Marcos family (Ferdinand, Imelda, Imee and Ferdinand Jr.), the Philippine economy under martial law; the timeline of the Marcos dictatorship, its human rights abuses, and Ferdinand Marcos' cult of personality.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)

Undue weight?

@HueMan1: how is the article displaying undue weight? What other prominent documented PoV can one put in here to balance out the article? -Object404 (talk) 10:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Object404: Do we really have to call Marcos a dictator all the time? I mean, he wasn't always a dictator. There must be a more neutral way to phrase statements here. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 10:53, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is he a dictator, yes or no? I mean he wasn't a president all the time. If we go by your logic, we should stop calling him president. -Object404 (talk) 14:30, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the bold move, not only because this discussion exists but because I'm contesting it. Currently, most of our articles point to "Human rights abuses of the Marcos dictatorship", not "Human rights abuses during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos". Moreover, most of our articles follow the "Marcos dictatorship" naming, which establishes a level of consensus over the name. This article also addresses exclusively his dictatorship, not his entire presidency. It only makes sense that this name be kept. Per WP:BRD, further moves should be done with a move request - especially if it has a chance of being contested, such as this instance. Chlod (say hi!) 19:19, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Organize massacres by geography?

While I recognize the importance of documenting the Moro massacres, it seems disorganized for there to only be that one subsection under massacres. Maybe we should sort that into Massacres in Luzon, in Visayas, in Muslim Mindanao (because there was no formal declaration of the Bangsamoro yet back then), and in the rest of Mindanao? It would look neater. - MoxiePH (talk) 15:12, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sense

"Despite the lifting of Martial Law in 1981, there are five recorded massacres all over the Philippines. In the same year, there are five recorded massacres all over the Philippines." I think the second sentence is quite unnecessary. 2A02:3030:811:9DE7:1:0:620:AD95 (talk) 11:34, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
