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.

[edit] Merge proposal: Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing

I'd like to suggest the article Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing to be merged to this one...

  • Although Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing and Hong Kong Stock Exchange are two different parties in strict terms (the latter as the market for stock trading, the former as the company operating the latter), we'd usually refer both of them as the same thing.
  • The information in the article Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing mostly coincides with that in this article (e.g. history, structure, trading hours), and even though some parts of it (e.g. market figures) do not, I think that they are mostly relevant to and can be included in this article.
  • The information in the article Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing says, "Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited ... is the holding company for The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK), Hong Kong Futures Exchange Limited (HKFE) and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited." This piece of information is somehow expired, because it is not the HOLDER of those 3 companies, but the RESULT OF A MERGER of them. You may try to google these 3 companies, and all results are redirecting to the same site.
  • Some of you may rather support merging this article to Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing (merging in counter direction). This can be ok, but according to Wikipedia's naming policy, I'd rather prefer using "Hong Kong Stock Exchange", a name more commonly known and called, as the title.

Any opinions?

I am glad someone has an opinion about it. I thought about this awhile back too, but wasn't sure if the changes were really necessary. If I had to propose a series of changes so that this page is up-to-date, it would be...
1. move this page to "The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong"
2. make sure "Hong Kong Stock Exchange" point to #1
3. link "HK Exchanges and Clearing" to #1
4. add Growth Enterprise Market into #1.
5. use HKEX 033 as the official ticker symbol.
6. change SEHK to the abbreviation.

  • This is definitely a bad idea, as their are separate stock and futures exchange, and a holding company, all of which should be categorised separately. Greg Grahame 20:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
