Talk:Kidapawan

Article tone

Much of this reads like advertising or publicity copy - it needs rewriting with all the gushing tourist prose and invitations to industrial investors left out.Hopeless diamond (talk) 18:20, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, and stuff about the political/safety situation should be added instead. I came to the page to learn about the NPA that apparently operates there (and just killed a Swiss guy), but instead I just found, as you say, tourist prose. Harald88 (talk) 10:32, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

<Cityname> <City>

There is a discussion regarding the removal of the word "city" from the article titles of Philippine cities. This may imminently affect the article name for Kidapawan. For city names which are not unique, disambiguation alternatives are also being presented. Formal request for page move may follow after a reasonable time of discussion. If you wish to participate, please post your comments here. --JinJian (talk) 04:28, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Revisions on Etymology and History, removal of security incidents section for expansion of list

Major edits on etymology and history were done on 26 March, 2020, citing three reliable sources all commissioned by the local government, plus links to pertinent creating laws mentioned. Decided to remove the recent security incidents portion as they are too limited in scope, the list should go back to the 1900s. Will make future edits when I make that list. These edits are by Karlo Antonio Galay David, historian commissioned by the local government

City Name in Maguindanawon and Obo Monuvu

An IP address user edited out the official names of the City in Maguindanawon, and Obo Monuvu stating that there are "Too much irrelevant languages. Let Cebuano, Tagalog, and Ilonggo be the 3 main languages". I changed it back because:

1. Obo Monuvu and Maguindanawon are the languages of the original inhabitants of the Kidapawanon lands. These languages are not in any way irrelevant especially on the vast history of the place. Any assertions of irrelevance are just ignorant Filipino impositions of cultural hegemony.
2. As a Wikipedia reader myself, I would be interested in reading the name of the place in the tongues of the people of that place.

I also originally brought back the Jawi script, but someone pointed out that

1. Jawi was the script of the Tausug language while Kirim was the script of Maguindanawon.
2. Maguindanawon speakers in the city have used neither Kirim nor Jawi.
