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.

[edit] Tao Feng

I removed the sentence attributing fried rice to Tao Feng as it seems highly improbable. After doing some searching through the history, I found that it was added by 38.116.200.61 who've been going around to various articles and vandalizing them with false information over a period of 6 months. What is the proper forum to report or deal with this?

[edit] Yangzhou Fried Rice

There is argument on who invented this. Yangzhouer say its their invention; yet Hong Kongers say it were they who invented it by using the ingredients on how Yangzhouers cook rice crackers to fry rice.Samuel Curtis 14:09, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Books by the late Chan Mong-yun (Tracing the Source of Cantonese Cuisine, Wan Li Publishings, 1988) pointed out Yangzhou's staple had never been rice but rather noodles. Yang chow fried rice was so named because the recipe was invented by the Qing dynasty's Yi Bingshou (1754-1815) and he was once the regional magistrate of Yangzhou (he was also the inventor of E-fu noodles). But the recipe is thoroughly Cantonese, and Chan pointed out that at the time of writing, which predated internet and mobility among PRC people, Yangzhou had no commonly recognized fried rice recipe that the locals took to hearts. --JNZ 01:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC) and more edited --JNZ 01:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soy Sauce in fried rice

Not all fried rice contain soy sauce, the Chinese supermarket near my house sells white fried rice seasoned with salt. Wizrdwarts 22:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dog Fried Rice

A Google search for "dog fried rice" excluding "hot dog fried rice" only came up with seven results, all of them appearing to be joking references. I don't think this is actually a famous variety. I'll delete the reference in a few days if no one objects. Ace of Sevens 10:02, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah delete it, it's some racist who posted it. Toge 17:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Consider it gone. Ace of Sevens 09:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] recipe 6000 years old?

Nice overview and photos! Is there any evidence for this recipe having originated in 4000 BCE? It sounds a bit made up. But maybe rice was found in archaeological food residues? 131.111.8.96 17:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nonsensical Paragraph

This particular paragraph seems to have no relation what so ever to this article:

"Josh Loo the founder of sushi is a pokemon fan of the highest order he is in fact the master of yughio, sushi is made from 100% chinese recycled newspaper and 100% brown rice because in china it is very dirty due to the amount of chongas. The soysauce added to the top of the sushi is often thought of as poo poo."

It reeks of vandalism and racism, and if no one objects I shall delete this paragraph, and as it seems to related to the above entry of "dog fried rice", it could be possible revenge vandalism, please advise. --Maelstromm 08:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Flagrant vandalism which slipped by due to careless reverting. I've removed it. Chris Cunningham 11:16, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for doing a thankless task such as this. Maelstromm 13:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
