Looks like we need to add something in the Sports section. It's completely empty! Hong Qi Gong 15:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I was looking at other Wiki pages on other international cities and I was wondering why Hong Kong does not have any sister cities in the world? Iman 23:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ng iman ( talk • contribs) 23:30, July 13, 2006 (UTC) .

Hi. I tried to do some editing on the NLP (neurolinguistic programming) article. But there is an editor there who keeps calling me a sockpuppet. There were HK sockpuppets there some months ago who were banned. The usercheck did not show me to be sockpuppeting. The article is not being improved by that editor at all and it is easy to get it in shape if I am allowed. I want to know; is that editor allowed to block all Hong Kong editors? It looks like he is anti-HK to me. What is your thinking? Hylas Chung 07:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
This actually isn't true. An interpretation of the NPCSC is a legislative act rather than a judicial and does not change the status of cases already decided.

I have quite a few pictures I've taken of Hong Kong and would be glad to add them to the article, but I'm not sure whether Wikipedia really wants pictures I guess and I haven't quite figured out how to add them. Basically, would it be appreciated or just take up space if I added one or two. I don't mind if it's inappropriate or something, that's why I'm asking :D. Omishark 03:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I've revamped and given new direction to the WikiProject Hong Kong page. Feel free to invite more people to join. The more people the more effective. Be sure to also try and tag as many Hong Kong-related articles as possible with the WikiProject Hong Kong infobox found on the project page. Looking forward to working with you all.

Some problems: "Culture" and "Religion" should be put into "Demographics" (as with other similar articles). "Climate" can go be trimmed then merged with "Geography" - not every 1000km square on Earth needs a specific mentioning of its climate. Most sections need to be trimmed into about 2/3 or less of its size - the article is far, far too long. Most sections has its own main articles so we don't need to put all the numbers and datas here. The lead is also very long. Half of the first paragraph deals with the naming (Hongkong, Hong Kong, blah) - definitely not necessary. The lead should be able to summarize the article and show the notability of Hong Kong, and is not a place to put all the "un-sectionized" materials into. There's also some weasel words in the article - e.g. "Hong Kong is China's richest region", "This is reflected in all aspects of the culture", "Due to the creative destruction so endemic to Hong Kong", "Hong Kong has never had its own military forces because it has never been a sovereign state, except voluntary auxiliary force like The Royal Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers)." A thorough cleanup is needed. Thanks. Aran| heru| nar 13:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Just wondering: do we really want an animated GIF image of the Bruce Lee statue? I found it rather annoying as it changed while I was trying to read the article. Perhaps one high resolution image with a scaled down version for the article would make more sense than an GIF animation? Klepas 10:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
The panorama photo of the Hong Kong Island skyline is indeed beautiful, but it pushes the main content down and leaves a lot of whitespace on the page. The layout of the version before this was added ( from October 20, 2006) looked a lot better. I suggest moving the panorama image under the Architecture section. Does anyone agree? KeL 02:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Is the picture of Hong Kong? I think I see the Sydney Opera House.
Too bad the panoramic skyline photo couldn't display the right hand side first. The right hand side is more beautiful (and interesting) than the left. Is there a wiki script that scrolls the photo to the right by default? -- UCLARodent 11:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

In the section on economics, I propose that the reference to Hong Kong's status as a "laissez-faire" capitalist society be removed. By definition, laissez-faire capitalism entails the total separation of state and economics, with a complete absence of government intervention. Though remarkably free, Hong Kong's government does intervene to some extent; for that reason, Hong Kong is not a laissez-faire society. -24.220.246.20
1) I delete all the categories referring macau as a country and nation.The reason is as follows Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China which clearly demonstrates Hongkong is a subdivision of People's Republic of China,not a country, a nation or a state.Despite Hongkong is a Dependent territory within China

I see that User:Alfeewusy has recently done a number of edits to the article. While I see that most of them have been structural in nature, it might be good if some of these edits are discussed here before-hand, because this article is a featured article, and it would be nice if it stayed that way. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 09:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me the external links section is getting out of hand. Only the most relevent links, such as the HK government home page, should be kept. Please have a look at Wikipedia:External links, which says: [Avoid] sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: it should be a simple exercise to show how the link is directly and symmetrically related to the article's subject. This means that there is both a relation from the website to the subject of the article, and a relation from the subject of the article to the website. For example, the officially sanctioned online site of a rock band has a direct and symmetric relationship to that rock band, and thus should be linked from the rock band's Wikipedia article. Most of the links in that section can be removed based on this guideline. KeL 21:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I think this line is somewhat confused. Does anyone have any objections to me changing it to:

Recently the images in the History section were all made to align to the right. I know it was done in good faith, but unfortunately it created the problem of "image stackups" on wider screens, as described in Wikipedia:Picture tutorial. The standard practice for long sections with multiple images is to alternate between left and right alignment to avoid the above problem. So for now I am changing it back. Personally I think it also looks better that way. Does anyone have another idea? KeL 04:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Kelw - while I actually like your edit to the economy section, it would be nice if you discussed it next time before you do that kind of overhauling to a section. This article is at FA status and it would be nice for it to stay that way. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 04:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I revised the last paragraph of the economy section and took out some of the statements that needed referencing. If anybody can find sources to support what it claimed [2], please re-insert the information. I did a quick google search for Shanghai's per-capita GDP, and supposedly it just went past USD 7,000 last year. But this seems to contradict the CIA Factbook, which says that the per-capita GDP for China overall in 2006 was USD 7,600. Now unless the rest of China suddenly caught up with Shanghai economically and I missed the news, there's a discrepancy there. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 05:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Tried to change the the map into the night skyline of Hong Kong, several times using pictures from wikipedia, it got changed back. Just thinking it would be nice to have a good picture, instead of a boring map, since all the big city pages have a epic shot for their city.

The full long-form name of Hong Kong should be simply Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (in Chinese: 香港特別行政區). This is according to the CIA World Factbook. The text in each article of the Basic Law also uses "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region". Although "of the People's Republic of China" is often added when necessary, I don't think it's part of the full name itself. — Kelw ( talk) 19:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes it's odd, unusual, and not quite logical, but yes, "of the People's Republic of China" is part of its full name. It is different from the autonomous regions or the provinces. Iianq 17:14, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

The text in each article of the Basic Law also uses "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region". Although "of the People's Republic of China" is often added when necessary, I don't think it's part of the full name itself. — Kelw ( talk) 19:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes it's odd, unusual, and not quite logical, but yes, "of the People's Republic of China" is part of its full name. It is different from the autonomous regions or the provinces. Iianq 17:14, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
