Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

China Motor Bus was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: May 19, 2006

[edit] Failed GA

I just went through this article briefly and I must say I feel there are some things that could be done before this article is promoted to Good Article:

1. The prose is quite choppy and does not read too well, especially in the history section (individual sentences).
2. For somebody not acquianted with the HK mass transit system, some issues are unclear and there are no Wikilinks that would help here.
3. The Internet Archive link does not work, plus there are two links to image search on yahoo rather than to the images or webpages containing them directly.

I do not have a clear vision of what an ideal public transport operator article should look like, nor am I knwoledgeable on the topic, so please forgive me for not helping out with improving it. I also don't feel experienced enough to fail this nomination, but please note hat from the point of view of a common Wikipedia user, this is not a good article yet.
