 * Symbol question.svg Article was greatly expanded this morning. The article as of 24 hours ago had 528 characters, it now has 2665 which is slightly more than five times, though in the spirit of things it's more significant, going from a thin stub to something substantial. Hook is cited to The Geographical Journal and the remainder of the article is properly cited to appropriate sources. However, I'm not sure the hook is strictly accurate - the water didn't give Hong Kong its name, the bay did. How about ALT2: That Hong Kong got its name from the Cantonese for "fragrant harbour", which described Waterfall Bay? Ritchie333   (talk)   (cont)   08:09, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * All the sources that were used all say it was the water (described as "sweet" in the Geo Journal and "fresh" in others) which first gave its name to the bay and then the entire city itself. So I do think it's more for the water in the bay rather than simply just the bay. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:30, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Okay, the source was offline so I couldn't verify it, but I'm happy to accept that's the case, so this is good to go. Ritchie333   (talk)   (cont)   12:23, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
