== Terminology: West Philippine Sea vs. South China Sea ==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Second_Thomas_Shoal&diff=1229714966&oldid=1229712539 Here], I have reverted two anonymous edits [<> here]. The anonymous editor says, 'Since the Ayungin Shoal is located in the Philippines waters then the peculiar terminology used by Philippine government should be correct. It is located in the West Philippine Sea because it is part of the Philippines - Philippine territory uses Philippine terminology". I disagree. The article says, "It is a disputed territory and claimed by several nations.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Thomas_Shoal#cite_note-3 3]", so the assertiom that it is located in Philippine waters is clearly [[WP:POV]]. Also, the designation, ''[[West Philippine Sea]]'' is peculiar to the Philippine government, referring to the part of the [[South China Sea]] that is covered by the Philippines [[Exclusive Economic Zone|EEZ]], and including waters that may be in the EEZs of other nations. I have invited the IP editor involved to discuss this here. Discussion?
