Anyone want to help me clean up this ESL? There's a lot of stuff, but virtually every sentence has some garbling. And there are way too many "strikeout" jokes... ħumanUser talk:Human 00:33, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

It's poorly written and I have to admit I was inclined to nominate it for deletion but for its history here being longer than mine. Why do we need this article? Is a regular editor here from the Philippines? It's not on mission. ... Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 00:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
It is sad tracking the diffs on this thing. It started as a stub to dered a link, got filled up a little, though it had some silly bits. Then a new editor popped in, apparently, yes, a Filipino, and added a whole bunch of not-very-relevant history of the place, using a rather unique form of English and a similarly unique sense of organisation, mentioning the RCC and how they control the politics in every section. Sadly, very little about the Marcos dictatorship, which would at least serve to make it slightly on-mission. I suspect we should go through this with a hatchet and see if there is an RW article buried somewhere in it. ħumanUser talk:Human 01:38, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
I've started--more later if it doesn't get vaped. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 01:01, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
I almost gave up after the first section, typing {{delete}} is much easier than translating this into English. And, yeah, there appears to be no mission content, despite the fact, I guess, that there could be (the Marcos dictators?). ħumanUser talk:Human 01:43, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
This article reads like a bad opinion piece, with almost no citations for ANYTHING, (and even once citing dubious shit like Yahoo! Answers to back up their claims). I'm not saying 'delete the article', but whoever wrote this shit...... Jesus fuck.... TokenSkepticMagician LITERALLY SATAN 22:45, 3 December 2014 (JST)
