Basic information

edit

This is an IP-hopping editor from Hong Kong who persistently adds obscure Hong Kong geographic place names (in place of common ones), obscure land lot numbers, obscure or self-invented names of physical features and infrastructure, and geographic trivia/original research, often against consensus.

The key distinguishing behaviour of this IP-hopping editor (from other editors with similarly narrow or controversial interests in Hong Kong geography) is their habitual refusal to engage in dispute resolution with WP:IDHT-type behaviour. Inviting a suspected match to open an account to protect their privacy often helps to distinguish unrelated editors with similar interests with this IP-hopping editor.

Targeted areas, pages, themes

edit
  • Articles related to Hong Kong.
  • Content related to territorial-political entities and their status (i.e. as countries, colonies, dependent territories, etc).
  • Lists related to countries, airlines, islands
  • Tropical cyclones (e.g. Typhoon Rai)

Habitual behavior

edit
  • Replacing common place names to obscure (old/disused) place names. (example, example)
  • Adding place names that appear to be false / original research. (example, example)
  • Changing instances of "Kowloon" to "New Kowloon" (technically correct but obscure- New Kowloon is not used day-to-day). (example, example, example)
  • Waits out page protection to continue disruptive editing.
  • Makes snide remarks (personal attacks) about other users' geographic knowledge or English proficiency when challenged. Also, makes personal attacks on things they disagree with. (example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
  • Adopts multiple personalities in discussions through IP-hopping. (example 1, 2)
  • Refuses to participate in dispute resolution with WP:IDHT behaviour.(example)
  • Refuses invitations to create an account with the false claim that not creating an account would protect their privacy. (example)
