Wikipedia talk:HK wikipedians' notice board/Archive 1
Kickoff
Folks, good to see this notice board established. Look forward to working on it with you. Some comments:
- Why is this "wikipedians'" rather than "Wikipedians'"? The other notice boards are in general capitalized "W".
- Should the "Current events" be put in Wikinews project?
- Is there a way to create an RSS feed of the "Current events" topics, so other HK-related sites could simply put the news headlines from here in their site. That could be a good way to draw attention to the HK topics.
- You may be interested in a new site created to discuss HK issues - http://www.chattergarden.com/

- Thank you. If you don't mind please sign up as a participant. Replies to the comments,
- Interesting indeed. At Category:Regional wikipedian notice boards we can see that the choice is divided.
- Sure, but how could it be done?
- no idea..
- Should it be linked from WP:HKWNB and Current events in HK and Macao?

Proposed title name changes for Lines/Stations
There's some title name are created with the wrong title, and proposed to renamed to a suitable title name. Since some title name are already exists, we should divided into two stages to move them.
Phase 1
Firstly, these pages are proposed to change to mininize the confusion between the station and train lines.
- Kwun Tong Line (MTR)
- Tsuen Wan Line (MTR)
- Tseung Kwan O Line (MTR)
- Tung Chung Line (MTR)
- Ma On Shan Rail (KCRC)
Phase 2
After all of the incoming page from their page are changed, these stations are also going to change to avoid confusion.
- Kwun Tong (MTR)
- Tsuen Wan (MTR)
- Tseung Kwan O (MTR)
- Tung Chung (MTR)
- Ma On Shan (KCRC)
I hope I can do some of that la..... :) --Shinjiman 18:43, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I prefer having lines titled redirect to it). For MTR-KCR interchanges, Kowloon Tong Station, East Rail-MTR, and again, with redirects. — Instantnood01:56, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Most of Articles are alreadynamed to XXX (MTR) or YYY (KCRC), and I've lazy to change that one by one because they are the presisting Articles. It costs more time to rename them one by one. :) --Shinjiman 08:31, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- A bot will do. By the way, you may be interested to take a look at 14:10, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Hi! I am the user that has changed the names of the stations on the MTR stations on the West Island Line. I want you to know one thing --- and it is that my friend's uncle is the MTR executuve Tsin Kwo Fung. I and some other MTR rail friends had a telephone call with one of his aides and he told us that the names of the stations would be eventually changed to Shek Tong Tsui and Kennedy, not Kennedy Town since names like Jordan are used, rather than Jordan Town. As for Shek Tong Tsui, he told us that names of stations are given from the districts they serve, rather than from public infrastrcutures. Thank You. --MTR Rail Friend 08:31, 17 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- I would like to wait for the official nomenclature for the stations. Now the 3 preliminary names are stated on the web and official documents. I think we should not change those names unless MTR announces their decision. --Xavier Fung 09:19, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Why don't we set up this project in Chinese Wikipedia?
Somebody fancy doing it in Chinese Wikipedia? (I'm busy for the next two or three weeks...) Patrickov 15:30, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Is there any regional wikipedians' notice boards out there? — Instantnood 17:46, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
- If there is (or at least I knew there is), why did I put up a suggestion here? Patrickov 15:09, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
HK wikipedians' notice board vs HK Wikipedians' notice board
Seems Timwi changed the title name, and it's not the first time that changed the title. And we should decide the name we're using with the small letter w, or the CAPITAL LETTER W. :S --Shinjiman ⇔ ♨ 18:22, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The choice among RNWBs are divided, and I guess HK is not the only one Timwi has moved (see Quebec or Russian, the Canadian one might have been moved back and forth too.). — Instantnood 21:41, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
Third opinion requested on "Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination"

I'll take a look into it when I'm free some time. Feel free to let me know (well, briefly) what's going on, especially what was wrong with the examiniation this year. — Instantnood 15:28, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Wanna know what the impolite personal attacks are. Obviously someone first pooh-poohed my opinion, and later on mistakenly regarded the meaning of certain wordings of my later responses, filled with sheer dismay, as "impolite critics". Well, all cap was, unfortunately, utilised so as to accentuate the parts of initial responses initially ignored by CarlSmith--the worst scenario merely to gain the slightest sympathy from a reader who confused the centrepiece of the whole scheme of thing. With a little luck, though, Carl Simth did finally look at my points and make constructive reference which should deserve a high degree of appreciation.
Plus, the template thing. That's certainly of no revenge actions. Templates were directly laid out against certain sections of misleading, confusing, and undefined contents, which were remedied at length. My ignored arguements have clearly states such blenders.
