Edit Guide

There are two pages related to the current (since 27 September) protest in Hong Kong, namely 2014 Hong Kong protests and Occupy Central with Love and Peace, causing some confusion as to where should a piece of information be added. Further to an earlier merge discussion, I hope this guide could allow a centralised discussion for editors of these pages.

Here are my thoughts:
Occupy Central with Love and Peace should contain information about:

• the non-violent idea and movement, and
• the advocacy group ("Occupy Central with Love" and Peace and the "OCLP Trio"), and
• the preparation by the group

It should include the materials spanning from January 2013 to late September 2014, concluding with the announcement of the early launch occupation and the protests.

2014 Hong Kong protests (not led by the Trio although named "Occupy Central" by many media) should contain information about:

• Sit-in protests immediately after the student strike
• Annoucement of launch of "Occupy Central"
• Suppression by the police
• Sponanteous occupation of Admiralty, Causeway Bay and Mongkok

For example, the "International reaction" section of Occupy Central with Love and Peace should be taken off and moved to 2014 Hong Kong protests, since the international communities were responding the protest itself instead of the preparation.

Please share your thoughts here so that we can improve both articles.--Jabo-er (talk) 17:00, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

"Suppression by the police"? Right on que - talk about Protesting by Numbers? For such over-reaction is what stage-managed revolts need to undermine the powers-that-be. "Occupy Central with love and Peace"? Stand by MSM stories of state-led outrages against 'freedom-loving' protesters. So far, unlike Syria, the Color Revolt is going to plan.

2019 demonstrations

Should there not be a reference to the current mass demonstrations in Hong Kong on this page?

This is a good suggestion, but I think most relevant editors are too busy with that right now. Yny501 (talk) 02:03, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Pre-screening of candidates?

You mean an electoral college system. CaribDigita (talk) 20:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
