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.

The reference about the MI6 HQ should be marked as spoiler--ZorroIII 22:43, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)

[edit] 1972 Fire and Loss

A recent change to this states that the cause of the fire is "believed to be arson and sabotage by the People's Republic of China". While there has been speculation that the PRC was involved ^[1] the language seems too strong for what may only be a rumor. Therefore I propose to remove it. Kablammo 13:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Removed. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Reinstated. The rumor is just that, a rumor. However, we added the fact that it has been speculated as such. We speculate who killed JFK, right? Therefore, this should stay. 129.219.6.193 15:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Provide me a reliable citation, and then we'll talk. SchuminWeb (Talk) 11:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture Please?

Can someone come up with a nice picture of a stately QE at the top right position? It looks awfully bare. JohnClarknew 11:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Picture has been added! Enigma3542002 00:53, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Any opinions on the picture? I created it from a free photo. Enigma3542002 04:05, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Looks good to me! SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
