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] Historicity?

Okay, is Dirk Struan based on any individual, as John Blackthorne is based on William Adams in Shogun? Chris 19:02, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

• I believe Aristotle Quance may be George Chinnery Chris 02:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Well the most obvious person for Struan to be based on is William Jardine, though I don't get the impression Jardine was quite as ... swashbuckling as the Devil Struan. Binabik80 (talk) 22:25, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
