[edit] Wan Chai (area) and Wan Chai District

Wan Chai should be different from Wan Chai district, which also includes Causeway Bay. --Jerry Crimson Mann 17:22, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Population and area figures in the article

The population figure (170,000) is for the (broader) district, not for Wan Chai alone (not sure about the area figure). — Instantnood 18:36, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

The data is up-to-date, because it is adopted from the newly-launched GO2HK website listed in the reference. :) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 19:27, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Yes, but the data is for the broader Wan Chai District, not for the Wan Chai area. — Instantnood 20:15, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
O... -- Jerry Crimson Mann 20:29, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Centre of the area

The centre of Wan Chai in the post-war period was at Tonnochy Road, while the present-day centre is more like to be around the MTR station. — Instantnood 18:36, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Police Museum

This part will be deleted. It should belong to the Peak. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 10:01, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ATV

There's a documentary about Wan Chai on ATV Asia...i've recorded it, and surely this would help much with this entry :) -- Jerry Crimson Mann

[edit] Holy Cow!

Wow. You guys are legends! I did not expect having such an indepth article on Wanchai here. The detail is amazing. You guys (and you all know who you are) are legends! novacatz 03:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article nomination

Hi to all contributors to this article. This article is exceptional in the amount of informtion and images (the coastline one is amazing!) it contains. However, I am going to fail it's nomination. The style is at places unencyclopedic, there are rather many occurences of "many people say" without attribution, and it is a bit long and a bit of a mess.

This is on its way to a Featured Article, if you ask me, but you should:

  • Reference it. Seriously, there are practically no references in a 45 KB article. Anything of this length needs inline references or at least mentions of the sources in the text. Facts in this monster are very hard to check.
  • Clean it up a bit. Think about keeping it around 25KB and moving some sections to their own articles.
  • Get rid of weasel words. Read this: Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words.


I feel rather bad about failing your nomination, but I just don't think it's quite there yet. You should put some effort into this piece and aim for FA status, if you ask me. Thank you for making this article! -- Mstroeck 14:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
