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] Reunification

Surely the statement that Hong Kong was "reunified with the Peoples Republic of China" in 1997 is wrong. HK was reunified with China, but as HK was not in union with the Peoples Republic before it became British, it is incorrect to say that reunification took place with the PRC. As I am unaware of strength of opinion of this issue in HK, perhaps someone else can make the amendment if it is non controversial.

[edit] the use of "the"

I am afraid it would be wrong to place "the" in front of the word "Lord". We use "the Lord" to refer to God, but not a peer. Thus it is not necessary to call them "the Lord Wilson", "the Lord Patten", etc(for example: Lord North)--219.79.11.166 04:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
