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.

Deleted: She was an advocate of Hong Kong's transfer from colony to Special Administrative Region, earning her the nickname "Red Regina" from her critics.

Martin Lee and Szeto Wah was among the first advocate of ending UK's colonization in Hong Kong in the 80's. By 1996 when Ip was head of Immigration Department, with the Sino-british Joint Declaration and Basic Law in place, controversy about the return of Hong Kong to China has long died down. The quoted "nickname", if exist, is not in wide use (at least much less than the title of "Hong Kong's Iron Lady"). - Hlaw 13:31, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] ==================

She earned her MA from in English Lit. from University of Glasgow. Anyone knows the details and adds to the contents? Investorjoe 07:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC) The subject of Regina Ip's M. Litt. thesis at U of Glasgow was the poetry of Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586). Her tutor was Robert Cummings, an editor of Edmund Spenser's petry, among other things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reginaip (talk • contribs) 15:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Major edits

I've reorganized the article so her biography aren't full of controversies and opinions, and were put in the appropriate section. Why must HK political figures be pre-labelled by strongly anti-government liberal figures here on Wikipedia? Ever heard of a Wikipedia policy called Objectivity?

However, I don't see the encyclopedic value of her being called 'Broomhead'. If anyone should disagree with me on this please say so here. If not, I'll simply remove this section in a month or two. Jsw663 (talk) 06:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

No reason why Tung Chee Hwa can be referred to as "Old Confused Tung" in his article, and she cannot be referred to by her public persona broomhead name. This is not even about objectivity. There is supposed to be people doing research to balance the articles out. I am sure Mrs Ip has done some good humanitarian work in her career worth mentioning. Her supporters don't bother to add that. Instead of adding positive materials, they delete negative materials. Is the wrong approach, is basically censorship.
