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.

I wanna ask if the pages Standard Cantonese Pinyin and IPA system (free style) can be added into the "RCL" list. Thank you^^. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Syaoranli (talk • contribs) 18:57, December 11, 2005 (UTC)

Is "Standard Cantonese Pinyin" its official name in English? What is its name in Chinese? Thanks. — Instantnood 20:29, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

In Chinese, it was often called as 《常用字廣州話讀音表》拼音方案, 「教院式」拼音方案, but no fix English name (since the Education Department / EMB just called it in Chinese) till the publish of 《廣州話正音字典》by 詹伯慧. For example, an Cantonese input Method by CCCL. Some data calls this English name in its instruction leaflet. I have data in paper but no scanner or DC now >.<.

Alright. Please kindly fix it when you've got its exact official English name. :-) — Instantnood 18:22, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Are "Yu Binzhao" and "Zhan Bohui" their official names in English? — Instantnood 20:31, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Still finding. These two names are used in the databeas of Hong Kong Academic Library Link. I will update when I fine it^^

Similar to my comment above, please kindly fix them when you've got their names. Thanks. — Instantnood 18:22, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tone marks

Someone just posted to a discussion page and gave Cantonese pinyin with Mandarin pinyin-like tone marks (accents, macron, etc.). Is there such a system for Cantonese pinyin, using diacritics rather than numerals? Badagnani 07:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

It's possible to use tone marks instead of numbers for the Yale romanization. There are three diacritics, and they are combined with the letter 'h' to give 6 tones. --Yuje 02:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Names of tones

Does it make sense to transcribe the tone names in to Mandarin Pinyin, if they are the names for the Cantonese - or at least this page is about the cantonese tones... what about adding Standard Cantonese Pinyin to them instead or additionally? SuperMidget 17:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
