Talk:Scout Association of Hong Kong

Let's go for FA

 * PS, Henry, shall we list SAHK for FAC? Wim van Dorst (Talk)'' 18:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC).
 * Gentlemen, I see you both have done lots of good work on SAHK, but may I suggest you have more diverse sources of refs that from various parts of the official organization site? I think this could be an issue on a FAC. Sumoeagle179

...
 * Yes, that would be a serious issue to still improve. And I think some more illustrations wouldn't be amiss. And a good copy-edit is never wrong. Would you care to contribute? Please? Wim van Dorst (Talk)'' 20:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC).


 * KUDOS for whomever wrote the sovereignty section. It's very interesting. I'll ref it.Sumoeagle179 21:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Henry Li of wikiproject China fame.


 * a) Ref two should maybe be split into a separate note seciton like was done with Scouting b) I looked for more refs outside the official association, but there aren't many, this could be a FAC issue c)it assuredly get pinged on something, they usually are, but will come out a better article, so much depends on who looks at it.Sumoeagle179 16:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * PS, maybe list it for a Peer Review on the SCOUTING PROJECT page, not the wiki PR page.Sumoeagle179 16:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello all, I've back from jamboree while you were discussing and copy-editing. Wim van Dorst, it would be interesting to have make it FAC. The article requires significant improvement to be a feature article. Some sections need to be expanded. Sumoeagle179, there're few English websites other official website as Hong Kong Scouting material is largely in Chinese and Cantonese. Here is a list of English references obtained from a book:

Proposal to remove date-autoformatting
Dear fellow contributors

MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted. MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this.

There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:

Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. I'm seeking feedback about this proposal to remove it from the main text (using a script) in about a week's time on a trial basis/ The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.

merge Chief Scout of Hong Kong
This is not a useful standalone list--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:04, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree. It is not going to grow large in the near future so it should be a section of the main article. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  21:49, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
