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] Spelling

The spelling on this page is inconsistent. It should be either "Wan Chai" throughout, or "Wanchai" throughout, but instead, it swaps back and forth. I have no idea which one is right. --Tb 05:15 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Wan Chai and Wanchai are both right. Both are used in Hong Kong. But I guess Wan Chai is the offical name. Wshun

Doesn't matter to me. :) That means there are three possibilities: pick one version and use it consistently, or start off with "Wan Chai, or Wanchai, is ..." --Tb 05:33 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Not a tourist agent

Wikipedia is not a tourist agent. Simply a link to website containing information on hotels and bars are enough. No need to write it here. Wshun

[edit] Admiralty

Admiralty is in the C&W district. Should clarify the difference between Wanchai as a place, and Wanchai district convering Wanchai, Causeway Bay, Happy Valley, Jardine's Lookout, etc.

[edit] History

I remember back when I was a little kid, Wan Chai was famous for the presence of many sailors whenever the 7th fleet of the US Navy had a shore leave in Hong Kong. Generations of American sailors probably remember Wan Chai quite different from what is described in this article. What I means is that the article is missing a major piece of history shared by many Americans. This article reads more like a government description from the district brochure from the city council than an encyclopedia materia. Kowloonese 23:14, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Information specifically about Wan Chai the area is in another article. :-) — Instantnood 13:09, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
My bad! I should have read carefully. Kowloonese 18:48, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

This page should be a general page about Wan Chai, Wan Chai North, Causeway Bay, Happy Valley ad Tai Hang. Too little useful information is included in the page, lacking comprehensiveness. Some contents are even a bit subjective. New York City would be a very good example to follow, so as to tidy up this entry. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 10:54, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
