5 Big Clans

In this article it states the 4 big clans. This is wrong and it is written in history there are 5 big clans. Which are: Tang, HAU, Liu, Man and Pang. This is mistake needs to be rectified. Poorly written History section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.10.65.17 (talk • contribs) 2010-06-27T21:56:16

Border

The border had several minor changes bcos of the course of the two rivers. The maritime boundaries had also some changes as a result of negotiations in the 1990s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Desvoeuxrdwest (talk • contribs) 09:48, 23 October 2010

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Hong Kong/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This orange-tagged article clearly fails criteria 2b. There are many paragraphs lacking citations. I brought this issue up at the talk page a while ago, but there doesn't seem to be much interest.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 16:47, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Keep
The issues that led to this GAR have been resolved.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 19:03, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

All information I'm coming across put the official figures for Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity much higher than this page states. They put the Buddhist population at over a million, the Taoist population at over a million, and the Christian population at over a million (around 379,000 Catholic Christians and 480,000 Protestant Christians, along with other groups such as Jehovah Witnesses.) https://www.gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/factsheets/docs/religion.pdf http://www.yearbook.gov.hk/2011/en/pdf/E18.pdf

The pie chart also makes little sense as it puts quiet different beliefs together for an unstated reason (Buddhism, Atheism, Taoism are all put together for some reason).

There seems to be a need to correct the pie chart with proper breakdowns, and to list the demographics as stated by the Hong Kong (and UK) governments as listed above.

Semi-protected edit request on 15 November 2017

Please add " |membership = {{flag|China}} |membership_type = Sovereign state " to the Infobox section as MOS:INFOBOXFLAG states "Human geographic articles – for example settlements and administrative subdivisions – may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes. " HK is definitely included here in this case.--123.161.170.177 (talk) 06:55, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. I apologize that it took so long for this to garner a response. CityOfSilver 21:17, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@CityOfSilver: Sorry for bothering you again, someone has intentionally removed what you previously added without a valid reason. Please restore the content, thanks! 117.159.146.216 (talk) 11:08, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There's been a new change to the infobox where it now says "Autonomy within the People's Republic of China". I would argue that that sufficiently shows that China is the sovereign state and it would be redundant to re-add the field you're mentioning. Also, I personally just think having that small flag in the infobox is a bit distracting from the rest of the info in that box. Horserice (talk) 04:46, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 December 2017

-In the column on the right side at the top of the page there is a section that currently reads "Date Format" and then explains how to format the date. This should either be changed to the date that Hong Kong was formed as a state or it should be deleted. 2605:A601:53B:DC01:4DAD:B58B:AB98:C464 (talk) 02:27, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. I removed it but then I looked at China and the box has the same thing. Is this how dates are written in Hong Kong and China? Maybe that's what it's trying to convey, although you're right: it isn't clear. I'm almost certain someone is going to come along and revert me, and hopefully, they can explain what's going on here. CityOfSilver 05:57, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted your change because your guess was right. It refers to standard date formatting in a given country/territory. See other country pages for examples (United Kingdom, United States, Saudi Arabia). Horserice (talk) 09:44, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Horserice and 2605:A601:53B:DC01:4DAD:B58B:AB98:C464: Thank you. This request seems to have been made because that parameter's title, "Date Format," doesn't contain enough information about what it's supposed to be teaching readers. I have no intention of trying to do anything about it because I can't come up with anything that isn't terrible. ("National Date Format?" "Date Writing Order?" "Interior Date Presentation Format?" These are just awful. And even if I were I to steal your way of putting it and change it to "Standard Date Formatting," there's no way it would stick.) CityOfSilver 18:48, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@CityOfSilver: No problem. There's actually no disambiguating description for date_format in the infobox itself, but this parameter is definitely used for national/territorial date formatting throughout Wikipedia. Since the infobox isn't specific to Hong Kong but is used for every country and dependency page, you should propose a change there or open a wider discussion with the Countries WikiProject. I would think that they also ran into the same problem of coming up with a proper name for the entry when they first created this template, but definitely no harm in bringing it up in discussion. Horserice (talk) 20:21, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bad wording?

A legacy of colonial rule, about 3 million residents hold some form of British nationality, including British National (Overseas) status and British citizenship.[235] The vast majority of those who do concurrently hold Chinese nationality, which was automatically granted to all residents of Chinese descent at the transfer of sovereignty.[236]
Shouldn't the bold part even be there? It makes no sense. And those could be changed to them. Is this some Chinese grammar?--Adûnâi (talk) 04:40, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I probably was tired while writing that. Good catch :P Horserice (talk) 10:08, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

indian diaspora

There are about 190,000 indians in hk . The presence of 7 hindu temple and celebration of durga puja , etc . Holding gathering such as bongo mati , utkal in hk , etc are the examples of indian presence in hk .

During the british rule , many indians came in to the island .

If calculated ,they are about 1.6% of the hk population. Bongodia (talk) 11:50, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Potential editing ideas and comments on the article of Hong Kong

1. Hong Kong is not stated as an Autonomous Territory, but a Special Administrative Region as mentioned in the Basic law of Hong Kong. 2. Settlements are not scattered in the new territories of Hong Kong. From the maps published by the lands department of Hong Kong, a large amount of residential and industrial buildings are clustered over the straightened Shing Mun river. Other settlements are new towns, developed by the government to cope with the overpopulation of the city. 3. The International Commerce Centre is not the third tallest building in the world as many buildings have overtaken it. It is currently ranked at eleventh on the tallest buildings list. 4. The "occupy central" protests in 2014 is not cited as the "umbrella revolution" but a movement by many sources such as the South China Morning post.

Please also note that a more balanced view will be preferable for the article.
