Should that be
"She[Audrey] was the chairperson of the HKBA" and not
"She[Audrey] was the chairman of the HKBA"?

- Chairperson is more likely. Deryck C. 8 July 2005 05:43 (UTC)
As far as I know, HKBA insists on calling its chief "chairman" instead of the more PC "chairperson". In fact, Eu herself prefers "chairman" to "chairperson". Check this link: http://www.audreyeu.org/public/contents/article?revision%5fid=3275&item%5fid=2107
Dispute on factual accuracy: Deryck and Instantnood are discussing whether it's the in Beijing media or the pro-Beijing media that views Audrey Eu as the evil woman. Deryck C. 8 July 2005 05:43 (UTC)
- This dispute is solved by Instantnood with a proof that the occurence of "Beijing Media" was a translation error. Deryck C.

POV tag
This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 00:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Capitalizing "legislative council"
@
- @Chris the speller: From the first line of the guideline you referred to: "Also treat as a proper name a shorter but still specific form, consistently capitalized in reliable generalist sources". See e.g. DDG search for The Standard newspaper, which consistently capitalises Legislative Council on its own when referring specifically to HK LegCo. Deryck C. 14:13, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- @specialized-style fallacy. Chris the speller yack 20:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)]
- @Chris the speller: I think "Legislative Council" is suitably specific in the context of a Hongkongese politician - it can't refer to anything else. But anyway I don't think we can come to agreement on this. Looking at the original sentence in question, I realised readers would probably be better served by rewriting it altogether and adding "Hong Kong" to the sentence, so I did that (which sidesteps the issue of lower vs upper case).

- @Deryck Chan: Yes, rewriting it is the better course of action. Happy editing! Chris the speller yack 15:49, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
