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.

The translation of Hoklo in written Chinese is wrong. It is he2 luo4 (he2 being "river", luo4 being luo4 of luo4 yang2 zi3 gui4), not he4 lao3 or fu2 lao3. While the hoi polloi asign the written name by simple guessing, the writer of this article should be more academic and accurate in this matter. Sorry I don't have Chinese Word Program. Someone or the writer please rectify it. Cheers.

[edit] Etymology

On this page, or on the Holo ethnicity article, we could give an etymology. Fu=Fujian, their province of origin. Lao=person, sometimes, but not always derogatory, often implying "bumpkin, hick". Heluo is probably only a phonetic transcription, whereas Fulao actually has a lexical significance. ~ Dpr 11:54, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] People from Chaoshan

Are Teochew-speaking people from the Chaoshan area Hoklos? — Instantnood 18:11, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
