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] Caption

A home-made bomb during the riot. On top of it are words in Chinese characters, meaning "Fry the Yellow Dog", "Roast the White Pig", "Fellow Countrymen stay clear"

At the risk of being too graphic, is it possible that the actual translation of the verb in the former should be "Fry Alive". Likewise, is it preferrable, it seems to omit the word "skinned" (e.g. white-skinned) in the two phrases? --Dpr 17:03, 5 September 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Star Ferry Turnmoil

Star Ferry toll increase caused riots in Kowloon in April 1966. That event had not direct relationship with the riots in 67. 24.205.90.226 02:57, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poorly written article

This article is very poorly written. Someone should edit this page into readable prose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.189.130.57 (talk • contribs)

Then rewrite it, if I had a dime for everytime someone said to change something. Users ignore these pages. If you would stop vandalizing (see users talk page), and actually contribute, then the problem with this page would be solved.Travb 04:53, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

What is the opinion of the PRC on them today now that hey control Hong Kong?

[edit] Section removed from article

The following section was removed from the article due to vagueness and difficulty of finding sources for.

In response the police fought back and raided leftists strongholds. In one of the raids, helicopters from HMS Hermes a Royal Navy carrier were called in to land police on the roof of a 20-plus-storey building. Upon entering the building the police discovered bombs and weapons as well as a leftist hospital complete with dispensary and an operating theatre.

If someone has better sources for it, please put it back. Benjwong (talk) 07:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
