History of the Jews in Hong Kong → Jews in Hong Kong – The article covers much more than just the history of the community, including their current situation, cuisine, schools and more. — Golden  call me maybe? 10:33, 19 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Support- The sections on Current situation & Antisemitism taken together has more content than just the History part. This article is much better suited under the proposed title.

 * Unsure The suggested title is more precise given the the historical aspect is only part of the article. But it isn't really consistent with the titles of similar articles about particular Jewish populations, which tend to be either 'History of the Jews in X' or 'X Jews' (e.g. History of the Jews in Iraq, Italian Jews). This list has more examples - I didn't do too much of a deep dive, but after a quick look it seems like 'History of X' is more frequent. Based on that, I would suggest that 'History of the Jews in Hong Kong' is fine, but an equally usable alternative would be 'Hong Kong Jews'. 'Jews in Hong Kong' should maybe be avoided for consistency's sake. MadameOctavian (talk) 11:49, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
 * There are articles like Jews in Istanbul and Jews in the Southern United States, so "Jews in Hong Kong" wouldn't be the first of its kind. Regardless, each case should be treated by itself, so we shouldn't keep a title that doesn't accurately represent its content just for the sake of consistency. — Golden  call me maybe? 16:28, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Jews and Judaism Template
Would this article benefit from including Template:Jews and Judaism sidebar? Some similar articles about Jewish communities in particular locations have the template (History of the Jews in China, American Jews, History of the Jews in Alexandria) and some don't (History of the Jews in New York City, History of the Jews in Moscow). MadameOctavian (talk) 06:24, 24 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I imagine Jews and Judaism sidebar would be much more relevant than the current Ethnicity in Hong Kong sidebar, which doesn't even list the Jews. Having them both would look too messy, so I've now replaced one with the other. — Golden  call me maybe? 08:03, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

GOCE copyedit
Just a heads up that I'll be copyediting this article in response to the request to the Guild of Copy Editors, if anyone has questions/comments. MadameOctavian (talk) 12:05, 24 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi. It's been a week, so I wanted to check in. Are you still willing to copyedit? — Golden  call me maybe? 23:17, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yep all good to continue! Haven't had time in the last few days since my last edits on the 26th but will get on it. Have done the lead and most of the history section at this point. MadameOctavian (talk) 23:52, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Update, copy-edit is done! MadameOctavian (talk) 12:02, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the amazing work! — Golden  call me maybe? 12:06, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Reorganising headings
The article is currently organised with the main headings 'History' (including 19th-20th century) and then 'Current Situation'. The name of 'Current situation' is problematic because it dates the article. My suggestions are that Wanted to get consensus before making a big structural change like that :) MadameOctavian (talk) 07:08, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) the first section of 'Current situation' (which mostly refers to the 21st century, except for the reference to the Jewish Community Centre being built in 1995) be moved to the end of 'History', under a '21st Century' subheading.
 * 2) the subheadings that are under 'Current Situation' could be promoted to level 2 headings. Another reason I suggest this is that a lot of the content under 'Current Situation' is actually about stuff that happened in the 20th century (especially under 'Culture and Sports' and 'Education'), so  it wouldn't make sense to nest those sections under '21st Century'.


 * I'm okay with that. — Golden  call me maybe? 09:07, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Awesome, done! I've left 'Cuisine' as a level 3 heading under 'Culture and sports' since it was quite short and it makes sense to nest it under 'culture' anyway I think. MadameOctavian (talk) 07:09, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

History of the Jews in Hong Kong → Jews in Hong Kong – Per Talk:History_of_the_Jews_in_Hong_Kong, this BOLD move by @Omnis Scientia should be reverted. Zanahary (talk) 20:40, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment: Would Jewish community of Hong Kong be a viable title? We currently have 10 articles following this pattern, all for places which are cities or towns. The same could be done for the other two articles beginning "Jews in..." which are not about either fields of activity or organisations: Jews in Martina Franca and Jews in Prostějov. Ham II (talk) 08:41, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I think that would unduly limit the article’s scope in case of any future expansion to include, say, Jewish expatriates in Hong Kong. “Jews in X” is concise enough (unless there are separate articles, one for Jews in X and one for an independently notable community of Jews in X).
