Hong Kong To-do:
edit purge
  • Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
    • We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)
  • Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

Write Monetary Authority of Macau also, please. -- Kaihsu 18:14, 2004 Mar 1 (UTC)

I wrote something about the Monetary Authority of Macau (AMCM). Please have a look. -- 05skychau 02:28, 2004 Mar 3 (HKT)

Nice one. Good job. Thanks! By the way, I created Hong Kong honours system today. The article Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong is still to be written. All the best for you and your Hong Kong cohort. -- Kaihsu 18:33, 2004 Mar 2 (UTC)

[edit] So who is the authority?

Who is the final authority of HKMA? PRC government? SAR? Indepedent organization of banks? It is not clear to people who don't know where the old "Office of the Exchange Fund" and the "Office of the Commissioner of Banking" originate from. Who provided the initial funding? Does the HKMA hold collateral in gold? -- Emana 02:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I did a big round of cleanup. Mostly I got rid of marketing info that were straight copy/paste from the HK gov website. The sections were split without much reasoning, such as Infrastructure having a Financial Infrastructure underneath for example. There were also grammar and wording that needed repair. There is an endless amount of info that can be researched, and few sources have been tapped. This page is very much a government marketing site right now. Anything in quote/italics can be a whole article itself. Benjwong 06:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion phase

I am currently expanding the article from on-line sources, in order to buid it up. I am not satisfied with the structure of the article at present, and will be regrouping/rearranging these along slightly different lines, or deleting sections. Any help would be appreciated.
