This article is written in Hong Kong English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, realise, travelled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
I removed the following sentence from the first paragraph in the controversy section.
"However, it is reported that some of the participants do not know they are going to join the rallies until they are sent to the venue."
Someone should provide a link to prove this claim before it is put back in the article. -- 205.250.250.154 21:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Image:Logo of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
How is an organization that is considered to be pro-Beijing (i.e. in favor of the communist government, many policies are not friendly for business but support nearly all policies of the HKSAR government) labeled as a Centre-right political party.?????

Hi, I think user Jsw663 believes it is author Beatty who seems to express the view that that political party is funded by the Communist Party of China. I have added some more sources to keep it in the history section. It really isn't a view expressed by the author. It is quite a unanimous view found in many books actually. If there are any problems, please let me know. I can add more sources. Benjwong ( talk) 03:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe we should have a section on the Young DAB. Cossaxx ( talk) 17:52, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
In what way is the DAB center-right? The source for "center-right" position seems unreliable as it only describes the position as a metaphor and it doesn't mention any center right characteristics. "Center right" usually means pro-buisness, in which most of the party is definitely not (except those from the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance).
In the ideology section of the wiki, it mentions that DAB caters to the middle class by supporting increased spending: "The DAB's support of social welfare improvements, including greater spending on education, housing, and employee retraining, has given it strong grassroots support."
The section also calls DAB a big tent party, and there are many big tent parties across the world so describing DAB as big tent is not invalid.
Besides that, they also support the CCP, which believes that the state owns all the means of production. Guotaian ( talk) 15:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
3O Response: In this case, I see sources which support both the "big tent" and "center-right" characterizations, and several indicate that even those labels are not entirely applicable. When something is too complex to distill down to a few words in an infobox, it should not be presented in the infobox at all. Rather, the body of the article should explain the differing positions various sources take on the party's political leaning and why, without taking a side on which one is right or trying to oversimplify it. I will note, as well, that it is not required that sources be in English, though if both English and non-English sources of equal reliability and comprehensiveness are available, the English ones are preferred.
