Comments made by Carrie Lam

One of my edits was reverted when I posted something that I heard Carrie Lam tell some people at a gathering I just can not remember the exact news source I heard it from. I am still looking trying to find this source again. Below is my original post. If anybody finds one of the sources that had this story, please repost the comment below:

Hong Kong Chief executive Carrie Lam made a statement in November 2020 causing wide controversy and dismay by advising Hong Kong police on how to handle future protesters when she said to use deterrents such as beating, public shaming and even encouraged extreme deterrents as having protest leaders killed along with their families and even killing infants by slamming them on the ground and cutting them in half if they are somehow still alive 'like good old fashioned red guards did in the past.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quebecpure92 (talkcontribs) 15:22, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Homosexuality Deletion

If someone could tell me why on the edits on Homosexuality in Hong Kong was deleted, much appreciated. Seems odd. I don't want to revert because some decent stuff was added ( I hope), and I'll wait for an explanation.

I didn't make that edit, but I think whoever deleted it did so because of the recent court ruling which equalized the age of consent for homosexual sex with that of heterosexual sex. (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_laws_of_the_world#Asia) Ikusawa 01:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, excellent. Makes sense. I wasn't aware of the change in law, nor of that wikipedia article. Sorry to concern you guys. Logical2u 21:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:2002-8-12-xijing2.jpg

Image:2002-8-12-xijing2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 23:37, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Corporate voting?

Have I read rightly that in HK corporations can vote?! Wikidea 18:49, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are completely right. Just a glimpse at functional constituencies will tell you that some lawmakers in the HK legislature are returned by corporate voting - which is ridiculous! Craddocktm (talk) 12:27, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section

The lead needs wikifying - eg start with a definition. Onanoff (talk) 17:41, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
