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] Etymology

Needs explanation of etymology. Badagnani (talk) 04:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Why, exactly, are they called "tribute balls"? Badagnani (talk) 01:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

This is a misunderstanding. Normally, 貢 would mean tribute. However, in this case, it is only used for its sound value. The original character is 摃 (to pound with a mallet). -- A-cai (talk) 00:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Green garnish

What are the green chopped herbs floating in the soup in the photos of gongwang tang at Flickr? Badagnani (talk) 01:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
