The wording of this article is too approbative and amateurish, there are also several grammar mistakes scattered throughout.-- Sıgehelmus (Talk) |д=) 00:49, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
The source provided is a government handout, so self-serving spin and not reliable. Fulbright don't use the word "fellowship" anywhere on their site today to describe anything they do (may have back then); various universities do and seem to be referring to the Student Program which provides funds to undergrads to pursue post-grad studies in the US. Lam wasn't, obviously. Question #1: Why does the HK Government say she was awarded a Fellowship? The Visiting Scholar Program (note, not Fellowship) provides grants for scholars to do research or lecture in the States. Question: If this is what they really mean, why was a highly-paid Treasury Department administrative officer getting funding from the US Government to go spend time doing "research" at a US government agency? Her earnings would have been at least several times the average income of Hongkongers at that time, so why was she taking handouts? Perhaps the answers to these questions are simple: the best answer is to replace the citation with something reliable that establishes she did, in fact, receive a fellowship, i.e. that they had such a thing in 1988. Perhaps someone has answers to these questions. sirlanz 11:17, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

This new text just added to the article: "a record breaking of 1.03 million protesters" does not make grammatical sense in English. 76.189.141.37 ( talk) 04:45, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
Should be cautious when reporting the 1.03 million protester figure estimated by the organizers; Hong Kong Free Press might not be a neutral source; most Western media (BBC, Washington Post, Deutsche Welle) report it as "at least hundreds of thousands" or simply "thousands". Meeepmep ( talk)
I second the above point. The article mentions the number of protesters on June 9 and June 16 respectively as over 1.03 million and nearly 2 million. These statements need to be rephrased to avoid any misleading beliefs as the numbers are very much disputed, and the gap quite large, considering Hong Kong police estimates to be 240,000 people and 338,000 people respectively. 338,000 people is mentioned in the article, but the phrasing gives a false impression that the organizers' estimation of 2 million becomes de facto more correct when the police force acknowledged that the number of 338,000 should be higher due to the counting being restricted on the original route. Looking historically at protesters' count in Hong Kong, independent count estimates by the Hong Kong University public Opinion Program were much closer to the police force estimates than they were to the organizers'. reference: https://graphics.reuters.com/HONGKONG-EXTRADITION-PROTESTS/0100B01001H/index.html
Therefore, the number of protesters, although contested by both sides, should be rephrased so that anyone reading the article who had no previous knowledge of the events get a picture as close as possible to reality as to the size of the protests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiball28 ( talk • contribs) 22:59, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Please change "attended by nearly two million protesters" to "allegedly attended by two million protesters" because while there was a massive protest attended by hundreds of thousands of people, there has never been a independently verified attendance figure, with the "2 million" figures released by the Civil Human Rights Front, which has historically released exaggerated figures in a bid to raise awareness.
