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.
Other languages WikiProject Echo has identified Hong Kong Tramways as a foreign language featured article. You may be able to improve this article with information from the Chinese language Wikipedia.

[edit] Victoria Peak Tram

Do you think that we should include any information about the Victoria Peak Tram? It is a special kind of tram that tourists are most likely to reach, so including them may help people understand more

A sentence mentioning them and possibly a link to the Victoria Peak article might do the trick. Whatever you do, minimising duplication of information on the Wikipedia is generally a good thing. --Robert Merkel 02:25 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Double-decker

"Hong Kong Tramways" is one of the two tramways in the world which provides normal operation of the double-decker trams.

Which is the other? - Patrick 01:57 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Possibly Blackpool, England. They run both single decker and double decker trams on their tracks. Popsracer 02:59 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] With direct current

The trams should be running with direct current.

[edit] Tram stops

Is there any information on the location (and perhaps the names) of the tram stops? I've tried to look up on the company website but there wasn't any. — Instantnood 18:34, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] #168

Has anybody got a picture of the new trams 168, 169 or 170? — Instantnood 20:41, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What about tram #70?

This article states that tram #120 is the only tram in the fleet that has retained its 1950s style. This 'fact' can be found all over the internet. I rode on #70 this morning which, to my eye, looks identical to #120. I hesitate to change the page in case I'm missing something.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TramStop.jpg

Image:TramStop.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
