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] invasion of privacy issues

does anyone know where I can find some discussion on such issues? --little Alex 07:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction / Disputed tag

There are various statement that I either dispute, am not sure, or seems to me to contradict other part of the article. I'm just going to list it.

  • Since "child" HKID are issued for those that obtain HKSAR Passport, am not sure whether none-ROA child can obtain HKID card.
  • 11+ need to obtain HKID, do they have to carry them? (The article says 18+ does, but does not specify for 11+)
  • "The "youth" card becomes invalid as a document for entry into Hong Kong at this point; however, a temporary printed document is issued to the applicant and may be presented in conjunction with the bearer's "youth" card to gain entry." - They take away the old card on application of a new one. Also, I was explicitly told by an immigration official last month when renewing HKID, that the paper temporary identification does _not_ provide entry to HK.
  • "As children under the age of 11 are not eligible for a HKID" - Contradict the section that talk about "child" HKID.

  1. I am not sure that if a non-ROA "Child" HKID exists either.
  2. According to Hong Kong Law Chapter 115 Section 17C, people who are 15 or above are required to carry their HKID. I will fix it soon.
  3. Yes, I confirm that receipt cannot be used as immigration document. My brother once ran into trouble because of this. (From another user: I have used that temporary ID paper, together with a valid passport, to arrive at, and depart from the HK Int'l Airport using the HK permanent resident lane in 2004 without problems, and I didn't have to fill out a declaration form.)
  4. Fixed. The former is correct. This part seemed to be added by me long time ago, but didn't notice the latter sentence.

[edit] Links to other articles

I wonder why there are links to MyKad and National Registration Identity Card in the See Also section, despite the fact that they are never mentioned in the main article. I am going to remove them because information is already included in the more general Identity document article. Cheungpat 14:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
