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] Fair use rationale for Image:Mandarin oriental group.gif

Image:Mandarin oriental group.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Boston

Mandarin Oriental (Boston) The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston will open in June 2008 after numerous years of designing and decision making. The years of work will in the end be worth while, multiple condominiums in the upper levels of the hotel have sold from upwards of $2million all the way up to $15million, raising the median home price in the Back Bay area considerably. Famous Hollywood celebrities have bought condos in the hotel including, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Madonna, and Victoria Beckham. Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour also has bought a condo. One of Boston's most upscale restaurants L'Espalier has relocated to the hotel and plan's on being one of the most exclusive restaurants on the East Coast. High end fashion and jewelry houses have signed letter's of intent for opening up large world flagships in the hotel's arcade area. Stores so far confirmed to open are; an epicenter Prada, Graff, Yves Saint Laurent, Harry Winston and Balenciaga. The hotel has order over 30 Rolls Royce Phantom's to accomadate the guests by whisking them to their destination and to and from the airport. Once the hotel finally opens it will be recognized as one of the most prestigious and luxurious hotels in the world, and raise will raise the standard of luxury in the world city of Boston and other cities around the world.

This needs references. I've researched all of these claims and I can't find any of it to be true beside a press release from the official Mandarin oriental site (http://www.mandarinresidences.com/content/news/news.jsp?type=PressRelease&id=4). There are no references about a list of celebrities that have "bought" condos nor are there are references to 30 RRs or a "Prada epicenter."

This entire paragraph should be struck to a sentence unless it can be verifiable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.40.228.224 (talk) 05:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
