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] Non-chinese right of abode?

What is the right of abode of people that are not chinese citizens? Do all those Brits and ex-pat Aussie and Americans have any rights, some were even born there. What about guest workers who've been in HK for a decade or longer? SchmuckyTheCat 22:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lots of key issue missing

The background of the issue is missing:

  1. In 1980s Hongkong gave up Touch Base Policy
  2. "Right of abode" defined in Joint Declaration, Appendix 1
  3. The cause/flaw in Joint Declaration, Appendix 1
  4. The flaw in Basic Law provision as following the Appendix 1
  5. The neglect of both Chinese and British government before handover

The basic issue is missing:

  1. Legitimate Expectation from the HK right of abode claimant based on Basic Law
  2. The incompatibility between Basic Law and local Ordinance
  3. The massive arrest by Immigration Department

The judgment of Court of Final Appeal is not the cause of "Right of abode issue". It is the process. When talking the cause, it should be start from the handover, or the neglect of both government, or even the Joint Declaration itself. It is POV to blame the Court of Final Appeal at the very start of description the cause of the issue. --Csmth (talk) 17:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
