[edit] Welcome!

Hi Xavier114fch, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

[edit] West Island Line and South Island Line on MTR

Thanks, your contribution to MTR was good content, long enough to justify an article by itself. :) I've created it for you, summarized the section and added a link.

Anyway, you may also be interested to take a look at KCR, which we are currently working on its sections to make it another featured article.

- Cheers, Mailer Diablo 12:16, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thank you for your rearrangement

No problem. If you need anything more, feel free to let me know. :)

Another fellow contributor reverted your changes, probably because he felt that it was indeed too "bloated". From the history the MTR article, there was also one occasion where every expansion plan that can be thought of, confirmed or unconfirmed was added to the article. The joke was, the entire section later disappeared. =P

Don't worry about the Airport Expansion Plan for now. Once the station is officially open you and I will be first ones to update it. :)

Are you from Hong Kong? If you are, you may want to know JuntungWu and Instantnood, two particularly active contributors to HK-related articles and even have a HK Wikipedians' section for it.

Finally, happy editing! Oh, and I forgot, perhaps you'll be interested in joining me to rewrite KCR to make it another featured article? =D

  • Don't copy images off the KCR/MTR websites, modify and upload. I personally have a good set of photo collections I have taken on a trip that I will upload soon. For the map, I'll create one for KCR when I have the time. The current maps on both articles are there under "Fair use" provisions. - Mailer Diablo 13:01, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I read your words on Mailer Diablo's discussion page. Modified images should be alright. Newspapers do the same thing. — Instantnood 15:14 Feb 28 2005 (UTC)

Your amendments looks good to me :) Personally I do also think the 'External links' may need some tweaking too, so feel free to make changes if you think that it'll add relevance to the MTR article. If any problems occur after editing, let me know and I'll fix them for you. Have a great weekend! ;) - Mailer Diablo 12:48, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfC

Hello there. I am recently being listed on RfC. Feel free to comment as you wish to. I regard it as a way out and to have the matter settled. Thanks. — Instantnood 20:54 Mar 1 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MTR Map Typo?

On your large future MTR/KCR map Image:FutureMTRNetworkAfterMerger.png the East Rail renamed South-North Line is written as 南北線, but all the other lines use the character 綫 (including the East-West Line AKA West Rail + Ma On Shan Rail). I notice that MTR uses 綫 (eg. [1]) while KCR uses 線 (eg. [2]). Since MTR is supposed to be the operating authority after the merger, perhaps it would be better to standardize under 綫?

And yes, I'm just as perplexed as everyone else as to why there needs to be two characters for the exact same meaning.

Kelvinc 22:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is a typo. We type 線 every day and being get used to it. I don't know why the MTR uses the character 綫, but you are right as long as MTR is taken over KCR in the near future.
This is the same case as Lai King (荔 vs 茘), as read from some source the Hong Kong character 茘 comes from the Japanese constructor when Lai King station was expanded to accommodate the Tung Chung Line. They use 茘, which is a Kanji, denotes the station name. --Xavier Fung 14:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the interesting history lesson. Kelvinc 22:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
