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] Merger with Biao

Since Xialongbao is a misnamed food - it's actually a dumpling, Gao(Cantonese) or jiaozi(Mandarin), than a bun, Bao, it might be merged with Jiaozi. Since Xialongbao is a very specific type of dumpling, I don't see why it can't have it's own article. Vote - do NOT merge. Dyl 17:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I also vote against a merge. LDHan 18:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
As above. Xiao long bao are NOT a type of chinese bun; placing them under baozi would be incorrect. They are a type of dumpling and will often be found under "dumplings" or "jiao zi" on a Chinese menu. As xiao long bao are quite unique, they should have their own wiki entry. Defintely voting against a merge. Djwatson 07:29, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Exactly. The merge template has been removed. --ryan-d 17:09, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
This is really funny as no one in China would think Xialongbao has anything to do with Jiaozi :) But anyway it's now explain in the article. Took 06:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Straw

Is this the bun that has soup inside and drank with a straw? Or is that another shanghai bun? Benjwong 21:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

That's the Tangbao ("soup bun") from Yangzhou and other nearby regions. That bun doesn't have its own article, but I think I footnoted its existence in this article. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 20:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh ok. Tangbao really deserve its own article. Is pretty unique. Benjwong 22:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
