Philippines Christmas book[edit]

Does anyone have that widely publicized Christmas in the Philippines book? I think it's titled Pasko or something like that. That can be used as a reliable source. --seav (talk) 06:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't have that book. I'll rely on online reliable sources for this article. By the way, Brit and I will expand and nominate the article tomorrow.--Lenticel ^(talk) 08:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, but you do know which book I'm talking about, right? Good luck on the DYK, I'll upload a papercraft parol pic this week. --seav (talk) 09:12, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but our school's library will close this vacation so I can't help on off line sources. --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 11:04, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Content removal[edit]

I had to remove the capiz shells in the intro since the thought talks about its traditional construction and the latter is only an innovation. --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 06:25, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hook[edit]

Hook... Hook... Hook... Who can make a brilliant hook for the DYK? hehe. --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 10:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK that the Parola Christmas ornamental lantern from the Philippines is also used in Austria, California and Canada? Feel free to modify --Lenticel ^(talk) 10:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's quite more interesting with the ALT hook. By the way, images in the parol page are not that good so adding it to the DYK nominees perhaps won't make sense. Maybe seav, titopao or any tambays can provide us. --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 06:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The hook would depend on the DYK admins' taste. Too bad we don't have an "award-winning" picture yet. Then again there's 4 days before Christmas. --Lenticel ^(talk) 10:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought they have already that pic? --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 06:38, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

Those images I added, especially the electric parol are temporary. If you can find a better one, please change or add. Thank you. --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 10:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added three of my photos. Feel free to rearrange. :) --seav (talk) 17:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I love the image; the one being trio. It's very nice. But it's kinda same motiff with the capiz shells. hehe. Nanghinayang ako. Sana, na-upload yun bago ito maDYK. =) 07:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BritandBeyonce (talk • contribs)
