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] Wealthiest

Is he the wealthiest person in Hong Kong? That would be worth mentioning. --Jiang

[edit] Two quotes

Two Quotes: Li founded Hutchison Whampoa and... and That company would eventually acquire Hutchison Whampoa Limited in... . Founded or acquired, which one is it? 213.235.195.136 06:20, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Acquire, he first founded the company now known as Cheung Kong Holdings, and then he acquired Hutchison Whampoa through Cheung Kong; I think Cheung Kong is also the first Chinese firm to acquire a Foreign 'Hong' in Hong Kong. --richeyxx13:05, 31 Dec 2005 (CST)

[edit] Major cleanup

Major cleanup: tried to bring the whole article together stylistically; removed all the (extensive) poor grammar that I could find; rewrote the last section; added links to Li's two major companies. --Shannonr 05:41, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Subjectivity

Was this written by his PR staff? The man has accomplished a lot but maybe it could be stated in a more objective manner. I won't chang it myself, as I am not well aquainted with the man, but I felt it was worth bringing up. Shouta 05:05, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, the whole article reads like a high school students homework essay.

[edit] The wealthiest man in Asia

The statement of the discussion heading is presently made in the article. However, the Forbes Magazine article which in the next sentence is refered to as recognizing Shing as the tenth wealthiest man in the world has two other Asians higher on the list: Lakshmi Mittal of India in fifth place (living in the UK though) and Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia in spot number eight. I will thus remove the statement. /Dcastor 20:45, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Naming

I tried to align the spelling of Li Ka-shing with the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (chinese)#Names, in particular when to use Wade-Giles, and how. Merabus 23:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

This article is heavily biased toward Li Ka-shing. Evidence: language like, "By 1950, his hard work, prudence and his pursuit of excellence had enabled him to start his own company, Cheung Kong Industries." So I declared it NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.64.169.72 (talk) 03:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
