== Your edits == == Street template ==
Is there any reason why you remove the street template from articles? And can you fix the template so that Cantonese is displayed before Mandarin in Hong Kong articles in the Chinese template? ] (]) 18:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


==Template:Chinese==
Hello, and welcome to the Misplaced Pages community. I am here to say that your edits to the Hong Kong-related articles have frequently been extremely disruptive to the articles. Since you are new here to wikipedia, you may or may not know how things are done here, however your deletion of certian information does not follow protocols. For example, when you deleted the word "national" from Hong Kong, were you aware that this is the standard template for all semi-independent countries?
Whatever you tried to do with edit to ] broke the template horribly. Please test changes to templates before you make them. And if you were trying to do what Umofomo asked above (make Cantonese display above Mandarin only on certain articles), that kind of change likely '''cannot''' be made (I don't think you can make a template behave differently only on some articles) so please do not try to do that again. -] (]) 06:46, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


== Shopping centres in Hong Kong ==
Also, when you removed the image of the Hang Seng Index, which was done without any relevant discussion because I am quite fond of that image, you also deleted the link to the History of Hong Kong article.


I have added some of shopping centres in the list you mentioned. ] (]) 06:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
On another note, while you have been uploading many images related to Hong Kong, you have not listed the source for any of them. Please do not forget to include the source of every image, as Misplaced Pages makes a concerted effort to use non-copyrighted images only. If you took the images yourself, please state as such, otherwise without a source the images could very well be deleted. Thank you. ] 23:31, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Your Help is Needed!== == IPAEng ==
Hi Alan Mak!


Hi Alan,
So happy that we have our ] article promoted to be an ], gaining an overwhelming popularity. I think it's not the time to cool down our ambition. The page ] is now asking for your helping hand! I have greatly modelled it on ] and ], plus some brand-new illustrations added which is drawn by me with ], and the standard of the article has been greatly boosted, and, nearly, lived up to the feature article's standard. Still, some crucial information is absent, and that's whay your help is urgently needed!
===What you can help===
The following information are still missing:
*Symbolism, e.g. the meaning of the design, the bauhinia flower, the red-coloured background, etc.
*History
*Photos, e.g. Flag raising ceremony at ], Flags in parade, desecration cases (I think ] have tried that before ;-P), etc.

==Standardisation of maps==
I see you're trying to add district maps into aticles about ]. Good start! :-) But the design of the map is not that satisfactory. You may want to take a look at Image:Map of New York highlighting NYC.jpg. I think we have to standardise the district maps in the following ways:

:Can you show me the example of a Taiwan city? Many thanks. Actually the main purpose of the map is to show where a Hong Kong district is within the territory, but not to tell others where Hong Kong is with in the PRC's territory. The zoom-out map is somehow redundant, as it has been shown in the page of ]. Very likely, the zoom-out maps in every district map would be exactly the same, which has in fact lost its significance.

Straight to the point now:
* First your colour scheme is no good, to be honest: khaki can's go with pink like that. =.= Perhaps we should make a reference of some web design websites, and see whether we can grab some stunning inspiration. ;-)
* I think we should make a discussion later on with all HK wikipedian, which is of grave importance, collecting their opinions and, subsequently, reaching a consensus. Everything else is a comprise.
* Your image format, i.e. JPEG, is not really suitable for map making. Pixerisation and loss of quality would be the outcome if you reduce the size of the picures. I think PNG format would be much better off in creating district maps.
* I like your modification of the template. Btw, is "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" just a bit lengthy? :-)

==Re: Phonetic symbols==
The naming conventions and manual of style of Misplaced Pages advise editors to include at list one way of romanisation in brackets for equivalent of titles in other languages if it is non-roman letter-based. Unlike Mandarin and Pinyin, there is no standardised and widely-recognised romanisation method for Cantonese, and therefore I include both. IPA is advised by Misplaced Pages for pronunciation, while Jyutping is, in my opinion, one of the most well-established for Cantonese. The only solution to avoid the long length would be moving towards the Korean-related topics style, that is, to have an infobox for different written forms and romanisation methods on the right hand side of the page. I'm actually working on the template of a similar infobox (well, you know what I'm occupied by lately), and I'd love to hear your comment and opinion. &mdash; ]] 08:28, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
:Let's see what will the community prefer. I myself prefer the infobox style to inline text. Pinyin is recognised by the UN, and as far as I remember, ISO. Jyutping is not having the same status as Pinyin is to Mandarin. There are other also well-established systems, such as Yale. In comparison, IPA is a universal standard that everyone can read. &mdash; ]] 08:53, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

==]==
You would certainly agree that noone today would call the area "Argyle". So writing "Mong Kok (also Mongkok or Argyle)" in the first sentence of the article is misleading, since it gives the impression that the area is still called this way. If, as I may understand, the area was called "Argyle" sometime between 1979 and 1985, then a detailed explanation would be welcome in the "Name" paragraph of the article.


My understanding was that the MTR station was named "Argyle Station" after ] in 1979. That is what the ] article says. I can understand that the area was later called casually by extension after the name of the station, which is exactly what happened with "Jordan", "Prince Edward" or even "Tin Hau". This is when "Argyle Building" was named. Then in 1985, the name of the station was changed to "Mong Kok" and people stopped calling the area "Argyle" in English.


Again, if that is the course of events, then it would be better to include it in the "Name" section. Writing "Argyle" in the intro line is not appropriate.

== Revived interest in the film Infernal Affairs ==
With regards to your comment, I wish to point out that no ''native English'' speaker would pronounce "dai hay" as the curseword because ay is always pronounced {{IPA|/ei/}} in English, not {{IPA|/ai/}}. Anyone who can read a curseword from "dai hay" is not a native English speaker (and I, a native Cantonese speaker, spent almost an entire minute figuring out why you said it’s a curseword; I would say that if you insist of ''English'' pronunciations, the true problem is in the pronunciation of "dai", not of "hay"). The rationale for your edit is that "hay" would be read as the curseword ''in English''; this, however, is not true and is thus not a valid reason.

Once we do that, we can use those to create blank maps of states/provinces. We'd also need do the same to maps of Myanmar, Bhutan and Afghanistan since they border the disputed areas. Once we get this basic infrastructure in place, we should advertise it so that it can be used as the template.


I would like to talk to you about your work on historical timezones in China. Can we communicate by email? Mine is on my user's page.

Don't make any silly points. The reason why Mandarin Pinyin was added, was because the name "Kung Kao Po" is not a transliteration from Mandarin. It is not the matter of whether the pronunciation of Mandarin is accurate or not. It is the because the title of the article tells people nothing about the Mandarin pronunciation.

In response to your response at Wing's talk page : It is the manual of style and naming conventions of Misplaced Pages that recommend pronunciation guides to be included for non-Roman letter-based languages. As I've said some time before, there's no single and universal standard in Cantonese (Pinyin is not a truly universal standard for Mandarin too, but that's beyond the discussion here). IPA is useful for readers who have some basic training in that system. Yale is popular in Cantonese teaching in the west, while Jyutping is a system developed by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong. All these system possess some certain authority, and I find no reason that any one of them is superior to the other two when applied to Hong Kong-related entries. </p><p>If you do have an issue, please kindly help read ] and see how the same can be done so that readers can choose to display some certain transliteration systems but not the others by setting .js and .css. </p><p>As for Pinyin, I agree with Wing that what's flooding the first line of articles is Pinyin, not Jyutping, Yale nor IPA. Nevertheless I don't think there's any harm to include Pinyin since Putonghua is de facto official in Hong Kong. &mdash; ]] 16:49, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of circulating currencies. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 13:34, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Whatever you tried to do with this edit to Template:Chinese broke the template horribly. Please test changes to templates before you make them. And if you were trying to do what Umofomo asked above (make Cantonese display above Mandarin only on certain articles), that kind of change likely cannot be made (I don't think you can make a template behave differently only on some articles) so please do not try to do that again. -Amake (talk) 06:46, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Pic of The Peninsula in in the article Hong Kong

Hi there~ Very sorry that I removed your fine pic, there seems to be way too many pic on that page and even if a pic need to be added to the architecture section, that pic has to be of architecture significance, to tell at least a architectural style or identify of Hong Kong.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 02:32, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Mong Kok

You would certainly agree that noone today would call the area "Argyle". So writing "Mong Kok (also Mongkok or Argyle)" in the first sentence of the article is misleading, since it gives the impression that the area is still called this way. If, as I may understand, the area was called "Argyle" sometime between 1979 and 1985, then a detailed explanation would be welcome in the "Name" paragraph of the article.

My understanding was that the MTR station was named "Argyle Station" after Argyle Street, Hong Kong in 1979. That is what the Mong Kok Station article says. I can understand that the area was later called casually by extension after the name of the station, which is exactly what happened with "Jordan", "Prince Edward" or even "Tin Hau". This is when "Argyle Building" was named. Then in 1985, the name of the station was changed to "Mong Kok" and people stopped calling the area "Argyle" in English.

Again, if that is the course of events, then it would be better to include it in the "Name" section. Writing "Argyle" in the intro line is not appropriate.
