reversion re Bob Couttie

This edit caught my eye. I've reverted it without much thought or research, hoping for some WP:BRD discussion here, even though I'm currently busy outside of WP and may not be able to participate. The edit removed "Constantino's analysis has been criticised [...]" from the article, saying: Some essay on Scribd is not a reliable source. Well, yes. However, the scribd essay says only that Constantino's "Veneration Without Understanding" has been unchallenged for decades, until now [, but] Bob Couttie has put it in a new and disturbing light]" -- that is, neither the essay nor scribd take a POV position other than to cast Couttie in the light of a source deserving of consideration based on credentials they summarize. The essay says that Couttie "puts Constantino under the microscope" but, unfortunately, does not cite a source where the details of Couttie's microscopic analysis can be examined. Can we trust scribd not to blow Coutties bonafides out of proportion and not to misrepresent its assertion that Couttie has looked through that miscroscope and, in some undisclosed forum, reported what he thinks he saw there? If the answer to that is yes, it seems to me that this ought to stay in or (better) be replaced with an assertion which cites a supporting source which discusses what Couttie sees through his microscope.

OTOH, I see that Bob Couttie is a redlink. Perhaps Couttie doesn't meet WP:GNG and his writings don't meet WP:DUE. (written in a rush) Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 17:50, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction

In the introduction it says he is 'tagged as the national hero of the filipino people'. I'm guessing this was written/translated by someone without english as the first language but either way as written the wording feels clumsy.

I think it is.Khamer Jun Manalo (chat) 07:45, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On the picture -Execution of Filipino insurgents. May I request to change the word INSURGENT? This is a defamatory word to our countrymen who fought for our freedom. Use words like Filipino patriots, and the like, instead. Thank you. Maestro2333 (talk) 13:01, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: "Filipino patriots" would almost certainly be a violation of WP:NPOV. I don't think "insurgent" is a particularly morally loaded word (let alone one that would be "defamatory" in this case) so I personally don't see a problem with it, but if you still see an issue you are welcome to discuss it on this talk page and establish consensus for a change. Given however it is language accepted at the page for the Philippine Revolution I don't think this will be likely. Volteer1 (talk) 13:38, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that you add a mention of a statue of José Rizal in Cådiz, Spain. This could go in the section: Sikheang (talk) 16:32, 23 September 2022 (UTC) "Monuments erected in his honor can be found in Madrid;[141] Tokyo;[142] Wilhelmsfeld, Germany; Jinjiang, Fujian, China; Chicago;[143] Jersey City; Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey; Honolulu;[144] San Diego;[145] Los Angeles including the suburbs Carson and West Covina (both near Seafood City, Mexico City, Mexico;[146] Lima, Peru;[147] Litomerice, Czech Republic;[148] Toronto;[149] Markham;[150] and Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[151]"[reply]

The statue of Rizal in Cádiz is in the Parque Alameda Apodaca. I visited it in November 2021 and have a photo which I can provide you with. [I don't think I can attach it to this message, but if I can, please let me know.]

Full name

Where does this name come from? There is no academic source for it, and there is no record of him ever writing that name himself. His baptismal certificate simply lists him as "Jose Rizal Mercado". Does it come from his birth certificate, and, if so, where is it? Should this name be there or should we just put 'Jose Rizal Mercado'? — VORTEX³⁴²⁷ (Talk!) 13:55, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In "Agnostiko ORIGINS" it is heavily implied that the man in the prison cell reading the journal is José Rizal. Mr. Plague is planning to break him out of his cell to use in his experiment, the events of that game happened a few days before his execution.
