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.

[edit] Huaiwei's edits

Huaiwei added {{Counties of China}} and category:Administrative divisions of the People's Republic of China to this article. The districts in Hong Kong are neither counties, nor part of the PRC's administrative divisions, as provided for in the Article 30 of the 1982 Constitution. — Instantnood 17:18, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

What country are the districts of Hong Kong an administrative division of, then? Obviously the authority to create administrative divisions extends beyond article 30 of the 1982 constitution. SchmuckyTheCat 18:25, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Districts of Hong Kong and counties in mainland China are all part of the PRC, but they're not part of the same administrative division structure. — Instantnood 17:34, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

Comme çi, comme ça cuz it's like that, and that's the way it is. SchmuckyTheCat 19:24, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Name

I can't go along with the idea of fragmentising Hong Kong Special Administrative Region into Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Would it be nice to break PRC into People's Republic of China in other sense? -- Jerry Crimson Mann 13:42, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Wars

Please no edit wars here once again. :) Let's don't revert each other's edits over trivial things what's wrong with breaking it up? I don't see anything wrong. --Terence Ong Talk 10:26, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History

Can someone provide more history prior to 1982? John Walden, Director of Home Affairs from 1976 to 1980, noted in 1979 that there were 10 City Distric Offices, Headquarters in International Building, with "300 well-educated Chinese and dedicated young people" working for it.[1] --Ghormax 10:21, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

There were already District Offices, each with a District Officer, prior to the creation of District Councils. The limits the districts were slight changed after the councils were established, and some are divided into two. — Instantnood 23:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
