I made this article, what do you think? Citikiwi 05:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Well done, Citiwiki. I only have one issue. While you were in the midst of creating it I changed two links, one to Great Britain and one to "Britain." The problem with the link to "Great Britain" is that that article is about an island, not a country, nation or sovereign state. In this case, UK is the better link. "Britain," on the other hand, is a disambiguation page. Wikilinks are not supposed to go to disambiguation pages, they're supposed to link to relevant articles. UK (which redirects to United Kingdom) is once again the relevant article. Since you reverted those edits the first time I performed them, I'm leaving this note to clarify my actions. -- Steven J.

Why is there no info on Mandarin in Hong Kong - knowledge, usage? Taking into account so many immigrants (legal and illegal) from the North and the growing demand for Mandarin, I am curious to get this info. Macao article states about 3.5% speak Mandarin at home in Macao. Is there any statistics for HK? If the article already exists, please let me know. Is Mandarin #3 after Cantonese and English? I checked some other articles about languages in Hong Kong. Everything seems to be based on assumptions, like 99% of the population are fluent in Cantonese. Can this be true with non-Chinese immigrants? A reliable source on other languages would also be useful - first language, second language.-- Atitarev ( talk) 23:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
The page Code-switching in Hong Kong is currently about 4 kb, and Bilingualism in Hong Kong is about 6 kb. Size alone is not sufficient to support splitting the topics. In addition, Bilingualism in Hong Kong currently contains a section on Code-switching in Hong Kong. The latter page contains only a lead section and one short subsection. I submit that it would easily fit into the former page. Cnilep ( talk) 00:47, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
(Outdent) I'm not sure that I understand the rationale for OhanaUnited's objections. Both pages discuss language in Hong Kong in general terms. Both focus on Cantonese-English bilingualism, since that is the most common pattern. Neither says that those are the only languages used in Hong Kong. Am I correct in understanding that the objection is that Code-switching in Hong Kong contains insufficient discussion of languages other than Cantonese and English?
