Revision as of 14:43, 8 January 2006
Category:Chinese newspapers
This keeps getting reversed (by User:Instantnood), so I'm opening discussion here.
According to the article Hong Kong, this former British colony is now officially part of China. You may recall some news coverage from 1997 to that effect. As such, Hong Kong categories should be included as subcategories of China categories where they exist. Cleduc 00:52, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yes it's very true that its sovereignty was transferred to the PRC in 1997, yet it is not administratively incorporated into the PRC, and it is distinctive from other first-order administrative divisions of the PRC. I agree the Hong Kong category would better be both subcategory of the by country category, as well as the category for the PRC. Nevertheless, it should not be grouped under a mainland China-specific category. — Instantnood 17:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Whether Category:Chinese newspapers is "Mainland-specific" or not is being influenced by the same person attempting to define it as such, thus justifying the removal of HK from this category.--Huaiwei 11:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Like many other similar categories, this category has been mainland China-specific since its creation. Its nature as mainland China-specific is little disputed until some users like user:Huaiwei resisted to rename it as category:newspapers of mainland China (or equivalent) to better reflect its nature. (They have in fact block the creation of anything that contains the term "mainland China".) If the name change is approved, there's nothing wrong to group the mainland China-specific, the Hong Kong and Macau categories all under the category for the PRC, and to group the PRC category under the general Chinese category, together with the ROC category. The general Chinese category would then be useful to categorise newspapers that were only published before the ROC and the PRC were founded. — Instantnood 12:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- "the Hong Kong and Macau categories all under the category for the PRC". Why then do you resist the formation of PRC categories and having both HK and Macau cats under it?--Huaiwei 13:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- I have never resisted to do so as long as the Chinese/PRC categories are not mainland China-specific, and, for some cases, mainland China-specific categories are created. — Instantnood 14:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Oh really? PRC cats will be "mainland specific" so long that you keep trying to remove the SARS from it. Please explain your hypocrisy.--Huaiwei 14:43, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
