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?

Shouldn't the Second Thomas Shoal laser incident be mentioned in this article (if only briefly)?? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 22:35, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And by why I mean what's the REAL reason there is a dispute? Strategic? Economic? If one side (or the other) "wins", then what happens? Also the Lede says it's disputed by "several nations", but only mentions China and the Philippines? Who else? And why? Here because of recent water cannon incident, and the Article seems very deficient in any real details.2603:8081:3A00:30DF:19BE:D09C:B6AA:5F75 (talk) 00:17, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
