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.

Is it non-NPOV to say that the services are of "high quality"? dave 06:23, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] The name of Portland Street

Your article said :

The street was named after William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1783 and between 1807 and 1809. 

Can anyone make sure that and the history & reasons --TEMFR 04:55, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It's probably correct although nobody knows why. Many of Hong Kong's streets are named for famous British people without rhyme or reason. I've mentioned this during today's edit. --UCLARodent 08:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
