Date of inception

[edit]

I note that this wikidata entry asserts an inception date of 4 July 1901 and mentions a date range of 1901-1935 in several places. However, I also note thet the U.S. Office of Insular affairs says here. "A United States insular area from April 11, 1899, the Philippine Islands achieved commonwealth status on March 24, 1934 (Public Law 73-127), and remained as such until the United States recognized the Philippine Islands' independence and sovereignty as of July 4, 1946." (emphasis added). I am not a regular wikidata editor, and am reluctant to try changing this entry myself. Wtmitchell (talk) 00:37, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

(added) Having seen no discussion about this, I here declare my intention to change the asserted inception date from 4 July 1901 to 11 April 1899, adding this as a reference; that reference being a U.S. government source asserting that the Philippines became a U.S. insular area on that date.

(added) I made the change. Wtmitchell (talk) 09:06, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
