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] Let's go for FA

• PS, Henry, shall we list SAHK for FAC? Wim van Dorst (Talk) 18:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC).

Gentlemen, I see you both have done lots of good work on SAHK, but may I suggest you have more diverse sources of refs that from various parts of the official organization site? I think this could be an issue on a FAC. Sumoeagle179

• Yes, that would be a serious issue to still improve. And I think some more illustrations wouldn't be amiss. And a good copy-edit is never wrong. Would you care to contribute? Please? Wim van Dorst (Talk) 20:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

...

• KUDOS for whomever wrote the sovereignty section. It's very interesting. I'll ref it.Sumoeagle179 21:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Henry Li of wikiproject China fame.

• • a) Ref two should maybe be split into a separate note seciton like was done with Scouting b) I looked for more refs outside the official association, but there aren't many, this could be a FAC issue c)it assuredly get pinged on something, they usually are, but will come out a better article, so much depends on who looks at it.Sumoeagle179 16:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

PS, maybe list it for a Peer Review on the SCOUTING PROJECT page, not the wiki PR page.Sumoeagle179 16:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello all, I've back from jamboree while you were discussing and copy-editing. Wim van Dorst, it would be interesting to have make it FAC.
