[edit] New Article

[edit] Disambiguation
Well done, Citiwiki. I only have one issue. While you were in the midst of creating it I changed two links, one to Great Britain and one to "Britain." The problem with the link to "Great Britain" is that that article is about an island, not a country, nation or sovereign state. In this case, UK is the better link. "Britain," on the other hand, is a disambiguation page. Wikilinks are not supposed to go to disambiguation pages, they're supposed to link to relevant articles. UK (which redirects to United Kingdom) is once again the relevant article. Since you reverted those edits the first time I performed them, I'm leaving this note to clarify my actions. --Steven J.

[edit] stats
Statistics? +Hexagon1 (t) 11:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

- That would help, if anyone could find stats on numbers of English speakers and Britons in Hongkong would make a better article. I think about 35% of Hongkongers can speak English and there's about 200000 Britons in Hong Kong but I'm not too sure. Frozen-Coke-Rocks (talk) 01:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mandarin in Hong Kong
Why is there no info on Mandarin in Hong Kong - knowledge, usage? Taking into account so many immigrants (legal and illegal) from the North and the growing demand for Mandarin, I am curious to get this info. Macao article states about 3.5% speak Mandarin at home in Macao. Is there any statistics for HK? If the article already exists, please let me know. Is Mandarin #3 after Cantonese and English? I checked some other articles about languages in Hong Kong. Everything seems to be based on assumptions, like 99% of the population are fluent in Cantonese. Can this be true with non-Chinese immigrants? A reliable source on other languages would also be useful - first language, second language.--Atitarev (talk) 23:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
