Hi! I started the article Cantonese slang. This may be an important topic for Hong Kong. Anyone have any thoughts on what to include? WhisperToMe (talk) 03:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I've started a discussion here; please take a look if you have time. Thanks. Kayau (talk · contribs) 09:02, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear members of wikiproject Hong Kong, i hereby like to put this notice for that almost all the articles of Hong Kong related, or about Hong Kong have really poor grammars. Any users, who have a high degree in grammar are free to improve the articles, an join the wikiproject thank you.

Users who like to reply this message may do so in my talk page.--✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 11:51, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

To be honest, you appear to have made quite a lot of grammatical mistakes in your comment. I'm not saying a hasty comment is an accurate reflection of your language skills, but next time, you may want to step back before denouncing the language skills of fellow HK Wikipedians (no offence). Kayau (talk · contribs) 15:32, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

I do not see how your message improves the overall grammar standards of the articles. Nonetheless, I believe users who do not possess high standards of language skills can also provide the project with valuable information and knowledge, and should not be discouraged to contribute to this Wikiproject or Wikipedia. --Wylve (talk) 15:41, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Okay if you users don't get it than never mind.--✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 00:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi all, I noticed a list of IP users who have been modifying some MTR station pages within this week, possibly as a response to the Our Future Railway public consultation schemes. However, it appears to me that these users are pushing some unrealised MTR plans as the current status, and in my opinion are presenting wrong and misleading information.

For example, in this version of Admiralty Station (MTR) one replaced the current neighbouring station box with the future one, which will only happen incrementally between 2014-2020. In this version of Tsing Yi Station one replaced a neighbouring station of the Airport Express with Tuen Mun, which is not even in any plans.

Here I could not comment on the intentions of these users, or whether these users are actually one. Yet I would still like to raise your attentions to these matters and see if anything can be done to prevent these incorrect modifications.

We seem to be missing an article on the economic history of Hong Kong, as the economy of Hong Kong article doesn't cover it, and it would seem to be important enough to be separate from the history of Hong Kong -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 14:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

According to the Hong Kong article, the demonym for Hong Kong is "Hong Konger." Should Category:Hong Kong people, etc., be renamed? --BDD (talk) 21:04, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Pretty uncommon for me to hear the words "Hong Konger" here in Hong Kong, and a Google search returns more results from "Hong Kong people" than any of "Hongkonger", "Hong Konger", "Hongkongese" or "Hong Kongese". (Sorted in descending number of results; actually the result counts from "Hong Kong people" is more than the sum of that from the 4) Therefore I don't think the change is appropriate. — Peterwhy 09:00, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps Hong Kong should be changed accordingly. Thanks for the answer. --BDD (talk) 16:58, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chinese-language entertainment § Merge inactive WPP Chinese-language entertainment into WPP China

Popular pages tool update

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to

Wikimedia Tool Labs

. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).

Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.

If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the

Greetings WikiProject, the article on Junior Writers Awards falls within your scope. It's a writing competition for secondary students in Hong Kong and Macao. I could use some extra eyes over there, as some contributors seem interested in turning the article into a promo piece for the event. It's not an epidemic or anything, but extra eyes would be helpful, even if you just add the page to your watchlists and scrutinize the changes. There is also no indication in the article that the event is notable, so helping to establish notability would be appreciated as well. Thank you! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:18, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

05:40, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

What gets me suspicious is the abundant use of single purpose accounts making really lengthy and detailed (but heavily promotional) articles about Hong Kong small-to-mid sized companies and businessmen. Maybe I'm seeing a pattern where none exists, I don't know, but it's pretty hard to check with so many being already deleted. I'll scour the relevant categories for more examples when I have time. _dk (talk) 06:05, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

The correct pinyin orthography is Wen Rui'an, and since pinyin is the official romanisation system in HK (because it's part of China), then I guess that's the official version. I don't know about Malaysia though, I don't think they have a mandated romanisation system.  Philg88 ^♦talk 05:42, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

I read that Ma Sing-yuen, author of White Cat Black Cat, is also called "Malone" but ai see two separate Chinese Wikipedia articles. Are hey the same person?

• zh:馬星原
• zh:馬龍 (漫畫家)

WhisperToMe (talk) 11:54, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Appears to be the same person to me, but the two zh articles may be trying to differentiate comic nature under two different pen names. — Peterwhy 16:28, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

The articles should be merged together if it's one person. The same article can describe the activities under both pen names. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:40, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

They are the same article with a redirect: 馬星原->馬龍 (漫畫家), about a cartoonist called Malone.  Philg88 ^♦talk 05:52, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

For those who are unfamiliar with this WikiProject, we always had a page to keep tracks of ongoing events:

Wikipedia:WikiProject Hong Kong/Article alerts

TheAvatar (discuss–?) 20:52, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

One should note that that does not track all events related to pages concerning WPHK. It only tracks events which have a WPHK project banner attached or appear in the tracking category tree. Any page without a project banner (or outside the tree) would thus not be listed. Also, that does not track all action requests, only requested actions that are part of the repetoire of tracked actions for Article Alerts (for instance

WP:RMTR are not) The list is maintained by an automated process, so it is important to add the WPHK banner to every talkpage of any page that WPHK wishes to track from the processes which ArticleAlerts tracks. For those processes that it does not, one should be aware they will not be listed there; and there are many such untracked processes. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
