[edit] HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Instantnood 12:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Many thanks. — kintak 03:26, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discovery Bay page

Many thanks for your stylistic + content changes to the Discovery Bay page. They are very much appreciated and I look forward to continuing collaborating with you and other editors. I have one question though - shouldn't the new Marina Club paragraph go under "Clubs and Recreation" instead? --Mintchocicecream 00:22, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments and I am glad you were not offended by my changes -- and that you obviously share my attitude that it is always a help to have someone else look over one's copy, even if only for basic proof-reading. I invariably find it embarrassing to review something I wrote a few months later, especially if I did not ask someone to comment at the start. And, yes, you are quite right about the Marina Club paragraph. Actually I had already noticed that on re-reading the entire page and hope to adjust it later today.

One other thing: do you think it would be a good idea to add a section on specific recreational activities? For example, there are many keen hikers like myself in DB and its a terrific starting point for many great walks. However, we would need to include more than one person's favourite activity! Best regards. kintak 03:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for corrections to the Marina Club bit. Sounds good - go ahead! I think there was a little about hiking (not sure) but I think that's a good idea. Someone previously contributed something on the Lantau Boat Club, so I guess over time it will be good. --Mintchocicecream 12:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps the best approach would be to assemble a shortlist of types of activities available supplemented by a few exanples. Obviously this is not the place for detailed instructions such as itineraries in the case of hiking. The aim should be to add to the complete picture of DB, and with luck once we have one or two examples in place, that may encourage others to contribute to the list. Who knows, we may uncover a formerly unknown club for newt fanciers or a hamburger ranching society. At any rate, it should help contribute a little extra detail to what is essentially a sociological study. At any rate, I'll give it a go. — kintak 10:51, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question about photos

Hi, I have a question about two photos you uploaded, Image:Stephanie cole1963.jpg and Image:Stewart tranchell.jpg. Are you yourself actually Norman Wingrove? One user at WikiCommons expressed doubts about the license and asked me to investigate. Regards, Thuresson 12:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I am Norman Wingrove, I own the copyright for the two photographs in question, both of which were taken by me. The samples on Wikipedia were taken from an original print and an original, (very degraded after nearly half a century) Ektachrome slide. Regards, kintak
