Sub Article Economy
L.S. ,
The sub-article Economy contains the following short paragraph QUOTE Cebu has also ranked eighth among the Top 10 Asian Cities of the Future in a list compiled by the Foreign Direct Investment (FDi) magazine of the Financial Times group.[9] In 2010, Cebu has also been included in the ranking of Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) of cities in the world with "Sufficiency" presence.[10] UNQUOTE .
Remarks : 01. The links don't work but reroutes to a Brazilian server that can't find the webpages . 02. The Foreign Direct Investment ( FDI ) Lists that I've checked since 2000 only mentions Cebu once . In a 2009 - 2010 sub-shortlist ( ergo NOT the main overall cities ranking list ) for Cost Effectiveness , behind Davao City And Manila City . Cebu ( City ? ) was ranked 6th in this sub-shortlist , one of 7 shortlists that together with other data ( predominantly FDI data ) form the overall ranking of the Top 10 . Also one could question as to whether or not the authors really do mean Cebu City or Metro Cebu or Cebu Province ( this Wikipedia Article is about Cebu City specifically remember ) ? 03. I couldn't find an 8th place for Cebu ( City ) mentioned anywhere and to reflect these facts , this 1st sentence should be deleted . 04. Likewise , Cebu City is only mentioned once in a list compiled by the GaWC (= Geography Department at Loughborough University that focuses upon research into the external relations of world cities ) , namely the classification list of 2010 . However mentioning this fact , which no other city profile does ( and shouldn't ) , serves no purpose . Cebu is not a world city , regardless of what one chooses to believe in the media hype . Also , Cebu hadn't made this lowest of presence categories before and could very well not make this list next time in 2014 . NB ! There are 12 classification lists and Cebu City got placed on the lowest list ( list 12 in 2010 ) just the once , since 2000 . Why oh why would anyone think that this should be advertised , it really doesn't serve any purpose . Remember too , that no other city from this research advertises their rankings , if one would call it that .
Ergo , I've removed the text , not to offend anyone but simply to reflect the facts as they're presented , not to hype it up ok ? Cebu has also ranked eighth among the Top 10 Asian Cities of the Future in a list compiled by the Foreign Direct Investment (FDi) magazine of the Financial Times group. In 2010, Cebu has also been included in the ranking of Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) of cities in the world with "Sufficiency" presence.
Remove Hiligaynon
The same problem I had with Cebu (province) page. I could not find a verified claim that declared Hiligaynon as a native language of the province. So, whoever keeps adding it despite being corrected, please reply to this message with the PDF or source link of a statistical study that classified Hiligaynon as a native language of the city. Because as far as I know and observed, Hiligaynon is only a minority language in the city, that is, mostly spoken my immigrants. 124.217.16.80 (talk) 12:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
