HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Instantnood 19:36, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons

Thanks a lot for the pictures of the Bun Festival. You can, alternatively, upload the pictures at Wikimedia Commons or even create a Cheung Chau gallery there, so that other language versions of Wikipedia can also use it. And by the way copyright laws of Hong Kong are not the same as those in mainland China, therefore {{PD-China}} may not be appropriate. — Instantnood 15:47, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

Re: Complaints about HKALE

I see. But what do you think we can do? Did the event actually happen? Seems like there's something new every year, but I don't exactly if something did happen this year. — Instantnood 15:58, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

Several things.

First on Bun Festival 太平清譙, this sentence "but because they are often drugged so as to tolerate the ceremonies." appears to be have a "biased" point of view. Also, the sentence would give a misunderstanding for those reader not familiar with this subject. I would like to hear more details on that matter. (You can reply in Chinese if you want to - Chinese is my native language)

Also your pic on Happy Corner it appears that an inappropariate copyright tag is used. You may want t state under provision can this image be used. SYSS Mouse 00:20, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Re: Ne reverting

With reference to the message you have left on my talk page, what do you mean by "meaningless"? I have rewritten the section and you should not simply delete it again. That is vandalism. Please provide your detailed arguments on the article's talk page before making any more modifications. --Carlsmith 05:20, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Happy Corner

Image:Happycorner.jpg
Your commentary isn't grammatically correct -- can I suggest the following?

• The Victim's privates are rubbed or rammed against the pole.

Oh yes, and can I translate this picture for Chinese wikipedia? -- Tonync 02:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• • Um. I can't quite believe I'm so dedicated about a trivial ceremony like Happy Corner, but, haha, anyway. The words in the picture "Victim's groin either rubbed against or hitting on the pole." is grammatically incorrect (not the same as incorrect wording), because the verbs should be in passive voice. So, if you're going to use "to hit on" as the verb, it should be "Victim's groin either rubbed against or hit on the pole."

But in this case, "hit against" isn't correct either, because the victim's private parts aren't hit against (敲打/碰到) the pole, it's rammed against (直衝向、直撞向) it.

Furthermore, from what I understand at least -- I've never tried, Happy Corner is about the private parts/sexual organs rather than the groin (大腿內側)? -- Tonync 20:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Re: Chinese names

There is not yet any written convention for names of Hong Kong people. An established unwritten convention, tho, exists. Normally people with an English given name will have the title of the entry in the format Lilian Lee. Redirects such as Lee Pik Wah and Lilian Lee Pik Wah, and even Li Bihua can also be added. — Instantnood 15:17, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

King's College, Hong Kong school song

Hi there. I'm cleaning up mis-directed links and trying to get all the links to Welsh to point to the right articles. There's a couple of links to Welsh in the school song section, but there is no really suitable place to direct these. There's nothing on Welsh marches (and the march page is also a disambiguation page). However, Men of Harlech has a Wikipedia article already so I have altered the links to point to that. I hope this is okay. -- Telsa 23:16, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Wan Chai and Wan Chai District

Thanks so much for your effort in rewriting it into two articles. :-D — Instantnood 11:50, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Pictures

Thanks so much for the pictures. Would be nice if the file names of the pictures are changed to describe the content of the pictures, and captions are included on the image page. For pictures that you have generously taken and shared on Wikipedia, would be great if they can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, so other language versions of Wikipedia can also use them. — Instantnood 20:25, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

The reclamation animation, and those for the stub templates are really great. For the reclamation animation, the old coast line should not be at Queen's Road East, but Johnston Road. Johnston Road was named East Praya (or Bowring Praya East?) then, like a strand at the coast. There is a line on the ground of the staircase of the basketball court near C C Wu Centre showing the original coastline. The rocks there also reveal it was once at the coast. Further, the now-flattened Morrison Hill, encircled by the present day Oi Kwan Circuit, is to the north of the Queen's Road Central. :-) — Instantnood 16:00, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

Ah yes. You can monitor changes to Hong Kong-related articles by visiting special:Recentchangeslinked/List of Hong Kong-related topics. — Instantnood 16:34, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

Don't say that. You've contributed a lot to Wikipedia, while I am just getting around to do minor changes. And by the way the location of the entrance of XHT is more like a part of Causeway Bay, and in fact it's on the the border of Wan Chai and Eastern districts. For the reclamation animation, would be nice to look for the location of the natural coastline before making changes to the animation. — Instantnood 18:08, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

I suppose you meant "coastline" rather than "costline" in your reclamation animation, right? Check it. --Carlsmith 16:31, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

---

Would be nice if you can move the pictures of Wan Chai to Wikimedia Commons, rename the picture with meaningful file names, and set up a Wan Chai gallery out there. And by the way the natural (original) coastline of Wan Chai was not at Hennessy Road. :-D — Instantnood 11:16, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

You have to manually rename the file name of the picture, and upload it again, then request to delete the original one. (I have never tried if redirects work for images tho. :-) ) You can upload a picture to Wikmedia Commons here. You can create a gallery for Wan Chai following the format like Hong Kong and MTR.

For the reclamation animation, better double check the original coastline before reclamation. As far as I can remember it was at the present-day Johnston Road. — Instantnood 15:21, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

There are some old maps of Wan Chai at this website, showing the coastline. :-) — Instantnood 17:12, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. —MetsBot 19:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC) Zscout370 (Sound Off) 21:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree with you Jerry. I don't think there's any guideline or rule that gif animations are not allowed for stub templates. You may consult folks at WikiProject Stub Sorting or Grutness (who's active in this project) for the requirements. — Instantnood 03:59, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

I do not take any stance on the issue, but you may wish to refer to Sections 7 and 8, Chapter 2602 of Laws of Hong Kong: [1]

A person who desecrates the regional flag or regional emblem by publicly and wilfully burning, mutilating, scrawling on, defiling or trampling on it commits an offence and is liable-

(a) on conviction on indictment to a fine at level 5 and to imprisonment for 3 years; and

(b) on summary conviction to a fine at level 3 and to imprisonment for 1 year.

I don't want you to get into trouble, so you should make sure that this is not "mutilation" of the flag. :-) --Carlsmith 07:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I guess this couldn't be... :-) — Instantnood 11:49, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Re: Name issue for KCRC Rail lines

The KCRC brands its systems as "KCR East Rail", "KCR Ma On Shan Rail" and so on. In fact it was part of an earlier discussion with Mailer diablo and Juntung (well, quite long ago, gotta find out where it was done) to change the titles according to how they're branded by the company. The KCR and Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation was also split accordingly. — Instantnood 06:56, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Hong-Kong-stub

Hi Jerry - I've just reverted the Hong-Kong-stub icon. Sorry - I can appreciate what you're trying to do, but I was getting perplexed as to why my browser crashed every time I tried to open up a Hong Kong stub article until I read your talk page! There are good reasons why animated images are discouraged on Wikipedia - I'm fairly sure they're quite a strain on the servers, and not all older browsers can cope with them. Also, let's face it - stub templates are meant to be unobtrusive. Animating them makes them jump out at the reader. Grutness...wha? 08:23, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As the Beatles sang for my heart:"let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be..." -- Jerry Crimson Mann 09:20, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps you can make a non-animation icon featuring both the flag and the coat of arm. :-D — Instantnood 10:14, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

That's true. I'm going to do it in the near future -- I'll be back! ;-P --Jerry Crimson Mann 10:15, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your one-sided discussion over our loving relationship. I must say it always takes two hands to clap, and if anything, I have yet to ever hear you taking any part of the blame in any dispute. I dont go round quarreling with people from out of the blue. I dont have that much free time. Clearly if anyone deserves an argument, it has to be for a damn good reason(s). What do you think this/these reason(s) is/are? ;)--Huaiwei 05:01, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Chinese names

With respect to User talk:HenryLi#Chinese names

Those Chinese term only for those translation not yet with article on its own.

"This edition of Wikipedia is in English, so do not use characters or romanized forms excessively, such as for common words, making this a kind of English–Chinese bilingual edition. However, if the term does not have an established translation (that is, has multiple translations or none), feel free to provide the Chinese characters, which will be useful to the content of the article. Proper nouns' Chinese characters should also be supplied, unless it is Wikified and the target article in the English Wikipedia contains the characters. Note that cross links to Chinese Wikipedia will not help researchers who need more information in English."

See introduction of Wikipedia:Manual of Style (China-related articles)

In the article Sun Yat-Sen University, I wrote only Chinese characters because the name only change in Chinese and I know nothing about Hanyu pinyin at all. Hopefully someone who know it can fix it. If you insist, I can use Cantonese one instead. The proper noun should be supplied Chinese character according to the manual and should not be hidden.

In the article Tsing Yi, those proper noun, not yet wikified, should be supplied again with Chinese according to the manual.

HenryLi 5 July 2005 14:34 (UTC)

Reply

In your reply

1. "< ! - - - - XXXX - - - - ->" is not good either.

On the same manual "It is usually helpful to add Chinese text to disambiguate Chinese terms that have been transliterated into English. Chinese words are often spelt inconsistently. The addition of native text especially for the article title term is valuable to researchers who need to consult other Chinese scholars on the same subject."

2. Some proper name is not yet wikified while the article is editing. Some might be wikified later. If you see those wikified term with Chinese characters, you can ensure the article contained it is with the Chinese characters and remove it safely from the article as the manual suggests.

Re: Your Help is Needed!

>Hi Alan Mak! >So happy that we have our Hong Kong article promoted to be an FAC, gaining an overwhelming popularity. I think it's not the time to cool down our ambition. The page flag of Hong Kong is now asking for your helping hand! I have greatly modelled it on flag of South Africa and flag of India, plus some brand-new illustrations added which is drawn by me with Flash, 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!

• Frankly speaking, I am pretty new here. How do we know whether the "Hong Kong" article has been successfully promoted to be an F.A.C.? Can we nomninate more Hong Kong-related article to be F.A.C.'s?
• After the massive rewriting, the "Hong Kong" article has really become a great one! I like the article so much now. Let's continue our efforts and make the article even better than it is now!
• Recently, I have created a lot of Hong Kong-related "stub" articles. As I can see, you are also a active contributor of Hong Kong-related articles. Would you please help writing those stubs? Thanks.
• For the article about the flag of Hong Kong, I am sorry that I don't have the interest to contribute. Because I don't like the fact that the current "Bauhinia" flag - which does not look like a Bauhinia at all - was not designed by the people of Hong Kong. The government rejected the original design made by a Hong Konger.
• I will continue to provide photographs to the Hong Kong-related articles - those about what Hong Kong people are proud of. :-P

In the mean time, I am sorry to say that I won't be able to lend my hand at least for a next week, since I was among the 30,000+ people who took the dreadful exam this year and will be busy filling out forms, etc. (Were you?)

But once everything is back to normal, I shall be able to contribute again. Thank you for your understanding!

In the mean time, you might want to take a look at Siu Sai Wan, which I have just translated from zh:小西灣 before the announcement of exam results. It just need some style adjustments, check-up on English-equivalent place names, and perhaps changes in phrasing.

About Hong Kong District-highlighting map

• Original Message

Why is the maps that I made unsatisfactory? :-P I have spent a lot of effort on them, and I think they are already pretty good. But I think one thing about the maps that may make you feel odd is that the thickness of the division lines (border lines) between the districts is not very consistence. I agree with that. Other from that, every thing is pretty fine.

But still, I think it is a better idea to use the type of District-highlighting map like those in the article about different counties or cities in Taiwan. I prefer colouring the land parts on the map with a pale colour with the focused district coloured with another sparp colour (say, red). I prefer keeping the border lines white. In that way, the maps would look more colourful. (In contrast, the style that you poposed is pretty plain. :-P)

Another minor thing is that I think it is a cool idea to add the tiny little map of China at the corner and show the location of Hong Kong on that map.

May I have your screenname in an instant messenger, so that I can discuss that with you in detail? Thanks

A highlighting map of a city on Taiwan can be found in the article of Taipei. I like the fact that the border lines are in white, and each distict/county is like a little piece of a puzzle. But I prefer using a better colour (like the light green that I am using right now) for the "puzzle pieces" instead of using some dull colours like black, grey or the colour of s_it! :-)

It is no harm to add the zoom out map of China. It is just some additional information that foreign readers may be interested in. But, of course, there is already enough information even if there were not the zoon out map. By the way, it seems that there are no maps in the Hong Kong article showing the position of Hong Kong within China - the "position map" just shows a small green spot in an unknown area (the zoom out world map doesn't help at all).

lit.

From CHINESENAME, lit. CHINESELIT. to

   * CHINESENAME (lit. CHINESELIT).
   * CHINESENAME, which literally means CHINESELIT.

I have no idea about it. Writing good English is NOT my strong. Just ask for you idea.

Usually, those Chinese name comes with Chinese character, but

CHINESENAME (CHINESECHARACTER (lit. CHINESELIT))

is too tedious with nested parenthesis.

CHINESENAME (CHINESECHARACTER, which literally means CHINESELIT) is too long for the first line.

How would your deal with this? HenryLi 9 July 2005 17:18 (UTC)

Hi!

Image:Jiangziya.jpg is very nice. You drew it? Do you release it under the GFDL, or Public Domain, in that case?

Thanks. :) kmccoy (talk) 9 July 2005 19:21 (UTC)

Hong Kong flag

Hi! You are a good artist, let me congratulate you on your flags. 1) I notice the references are missing. 2) In the history section, the left aligned image makes it look really cramped. The manufacturing process is a little too small, it would need to be expanded. (add raw materials etc.). Let me know once you've taken care of this, I'll read the article, and then you can put it up on FAC. Thanks =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:39, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

You can move the image to another section, or decrease the size of the image. (I'll let you in on a secret: Ink all the red links for a better success at FAC). Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:47, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Ping Chau and Peng Chau

I noticed you've reorganised Ping Chau and Peng Chau... Tung Ping Chau is actually officially named Ping Chau. "Tung" is added in common speech as the pronuncation of Ping and Peng sound the same in Cantonese. The English name has always been Ping Chau. :-) — Instantnood 07:43, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
