Duplicate Image:Lusung Empire.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Lusung Empire.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Lusung Empire.jpg is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Lusung Empire.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Luzon Empire, again

I've had a cursory look over Book 5 of 東西洋考. While a page did mention 呂宋國, proving that it indeed existed, there wasn't many other things said about Luzon other than how to get there from Fujian and what it is near to. There wasn't any mention of Emperor Bing or Zhang Shijie or the Battle of Yamen. (And the last two pages weren't talking about Luzon.) So...is this claim really in 東西洋考? _dk (talk) 21:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, ask someone who actually lives in Luzon before posting such an insult to our country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.76.251.35 (talk) 10:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please share your thoughts about the Luzon Empire article here--Lenticel ^(talk) 22:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK! Besides, I was the one who alerted Tambayan Phillipines to that absurdity anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.76.252.228 (talk) 09:51, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kundiman is purely Tagalog in origin not Kapampangan

Mr/Miss Ushiwaka. I have edited the Kundiman article to correct some unsupported claims and allegations that you have posted with regards to the origin of the Kundiman as Kapampangan (or originating from the province of Pampangga). Could you cite your references or any historical documents written by reliable scholars and historians to support your claim that the Kundiman of the Tagalogs originated from the province of Pampangga? I have done quite a major research about the Kundiman and nowehere did I find any reference written by scholars, musicologist and historians that the Tagalog Kundiman was "originally a Kapampangan war song" as you claimed it to be.

Please be more careful and responsible by doing a more rigid and serious research on Philippine Music before posting about the Kundiman in the Wikipedia. Many Filipino students depends on Wikipedia.

Please find time to read the following works and articles written by reliable writers, scholars and historians which points to the fact that the Kundiman is purely Tagalog in origin and not Kapampoangan [Note: some are written in Spanish so please use any online "Language Tool" available over the net to translate them] :

"Tagalog Literature; A Historico-Critical Study" by Prof. Eufronio Melo Alip, Manila: U. S. T. Press, 1930. pp.17,65
"The Music and Theater of the Filipino People" by R.C. Banas, from El Filipino: Revista mensual Vol I No. 9 (1926)
"The Filipino Folk Song" by Percy Hill from the Philippine magazine. [Vol. XXIII, no. 3, p.147]Philippine Education Co. Manila, 1926. p.147
"El Indio Batangueno" by Wenceslao E. Retana, Manila, Tipo-Litografia de Chofre y Cia, 1888. p.25
"Cuentos Filipinos" by Don José Montero y Vidal, Madrid, Tip. del Asilo de Huérfanos del Sagrado Corazon de Jesús, 1883. p.106
"Condiman: Tagalian Merriness" by Karl Scherzer from "Circumnavigation of the Globe by the Austrian Frigate Novara in the Years 1857, 1858 & 1859."
"Manual de la conversación Familiar Español-Tagalog by V.M. de Avella,Manila, C. Miralles, 1874. p. 116

You might as well visit the National Library of the Philippines in Manila to read Dr. Francisco Santiago's 1931 work entitled "The Development of Music in the Philippines" before posting anything about Philippine Music in the Wikipedia.

Maraming salamat po.
