Question

Hello🥰, are you a Filipino? You're still changing the FILIPINO WORD IN TO A FILIPINA WORD? REPETITION is not allowed ( talk) 11:45, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I am following the guidelines on Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Philippines-related articles:
Filipina is used when referring to women, both as an adjective and as an adjectival noun. Examples: a Filipina poet, The company is run by a Filipina.
so in this case a Filipina politician.
If you feel this is incorrectly explained on the Philippines-related articles page, please take this to the Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Philippines-related articles, if you wish to change this and gain consenus.
I am not an expert in grammar, so am following the guidelines, as with all other country specific word usage in the manual of style. Sciencefish ( talk) 12:28, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Content was already in the article, supported by a reliable source that clearly stated the date and venue towards the end of the article. All that was done was adjustments to the article in order to adhere to established policies and guidelines. EdrianJustine ( talk) 14:57, 9 March 2024 (UTC) reply

A bit more care

Hi. I'm all for removing needless bolding, etc., but please be a bit more careful when you do this, because here and here you broke table syntax, removed cell contents, and even some full rows in the process. There may be more issues with your recent edits, I only caught the ones that caused lint errors. Not judging, just letting you know. Gamapamani ( talk) 04:58, 29 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the heads up. It's a laborious process, best I go back to batch editing rather than the whole lot at once. Sciencefish ( talk) 08:07, 29 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Filipino is more natural

Filipino is not for males only. Most pages of public figures on this site are in "Filipino" demonyms. Example pages: Sarah Geronimo, Yeng Constantino, Judy Ann Santos, Sara Duterte, Leni Robredo, Risa Hontiveros, etc. "Filipino" is more formal and natural. While Filipina sounds informal.

Please see MOS:PH as that is what I'm following: Filipina is used when referring to women, both as an adjective and as an adjectival noun. Examples: a Filipina poet, The company is run by a Filipina.
It has been pointed out to me that using Filipina actress should not use this rule, but was also noted as being uncommon issue.
If you wish to change this part of the MOS, then please take this to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Philippines-related articles for consensus. Thanks. Sciencefish ( talk) 11:29, 9 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Is there a list of particular occupations that are exempted from the rules? Kali Igba ( talk) 12:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC) reply
No, it was explained to me by another editor that Filipina (female ending) plus actress (female ending) is incorrect. So in this case it should be Filipino (neutral) actress I asked them to take it to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Philippines-related articles for consensus, but they said it was only a minor thing.

Just an update, I already posted about this issue in the link you mentioned. RPC7778 ( talk) 08:58, 10 May 2024 (UTC) reply
As for the example pages you list, they've just not been changed. Sciencefish ( talk) 12:25, 9 May 2024 (UTC) reply
