Talk:Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society

message: I have worked on its bg information a little bit.
how do you want to do it? separate it into parts or just work on the whole thing together? 0101pera06 14:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introductions 

message: ->janet, so i guess it is better to have history than backgd info. We can consider deleting the 'backgd info' column then?
i'm thinking of adding some pics on the page, but seems have to get authorization before can doing so. any ideas? 0101pera06 18:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  History or background info? 

message: Actually i'm quite concerned about the parts (What We Can Do to Conserve Dolphins) and (Latest News About Dolphins) since they seem rather irrelevent to our entry in Wikipedia, i dont think i want to be so harsh as to directly delete other people's work, but i think it definately needs some serious editing, maybe not deleting it, but at least making it seem more relevent, for example stating how the HKDCS can help us conserve dolphins for the (What We Can Do to Conserve Dolphins) part, since we should maintain HKDCS as the focus of whatever is stated on the page, so what we ourselves can do to save dolphins is off-topic. However i'm more skeptical about what we can do for the other part, since wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not really a platform for news of any kind. any suggestions? 0101Anson06 15:11, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Concerns about relevance 

message: Hey pera, thanks! :) I just went to their website. I also took the liberty of doing some minor edits to the first few paragraphs. Hope its alright with you all. Forgot to log in while doing it though, alas. By the way, I noticed that chunks of phrases and paragraphs are lifted from the HKDCS website. Is that allowed? I could try to rephrase stuff around if you guys want. Cheers. 0101yansed06 17:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Website resources and additions 

message: I also see that now there are 2 "what we can do" sections. I think it'll be better to combine them. Maybe just put it as 2 sub-points under one column. 0101pera06 15:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi I'm Christina, sorry for posting a late msg here (I was kind of confused about this talk page >"<). BTW, are we supposed to post pictures of dolphins porpoising or spy-hopping here? I did find some nice pics but I wonder if I can post them here.0101christina06 17:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Combine sections? 

message: ummm... one question, we do have permission to use the picturese right? cus u see, we're not supposed to violate copyright laws here. especially for the "red dot map" picture where the (C) copyright sign is printed next to HKDCS 0101Anson06 04:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: agree. so whoever posted that on the site, pls clarify your source & rights. 0101pera06 04:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture permissions 

message: hey, anyone knows how to fix the box for "How to become a HKDCS member"? The first line is sticking out of the box, and I dunno how to fix that. Tried numerous methods, but just dun work. Hope some of you can get it working. 0101pera06 15:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: sorry, got it working finally. btw, where does the info in "latest news" comes from? Is it a newspaper article? 0101pera06 15:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox fixup 

message: dear all, just expanded the "activities" part a bit. 
ummm, i'm thinking of ringing them to check the address of their headquarter, because it seems strange if we arent even able to provide the organization's contactng address here (or is it allowed to post address here??)..anyway, is this idea alright? 0101vien06 06:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article expansions 

message: Hi everyone, I wanted to add an external link but whenever I edited that section, the 2 links under "Endangered Dolphins" went missing. Did anyone have this problem before? I don't know how to fix that :( Can anyone do something about it? Thx so much! 0101christina06 16:19, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikification problems 

message: Hello! I've made some edits to this article, in particular, I've removed some HTML tags that were used. Also, let's section this talk page so it becomes more managable to navigate through. --HappyCamper 14:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, well, I added some sections anyway. --HappyCamper 14:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article and HTML tags 

message: The image :Image:Cwd hkmaps.jpg looks like is not GFDL - it has a copywrite symbol on it! This needs to be replaced with another substitute I think. Is there a database of the red dots we can use to create a new GFDL compliant image? --HappyCamper 14:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: janet, i see that you posted 3 images on the site, the red dot map inclusive. please make sure that you have the rights to use the images, or else i will have to remove them by friday.0101Anson06 14:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You can indent paragraphs by adding a colon. Makes things read easier. Actually, it's probably better to put the images to the side so the text wraps around it. Avoids excessive whitespace and makes the article look nicer. --HappyCamper 15:35, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: i've wrote to HKDCS for a pic w/o the copyright symbol. btw, i saw the same pictures that we are using in sections "underwater noise" & "fishery bycatch" on HKDCS's site. do we have permission for those?--0101pera06 17:09, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image problems? 

message: As we're supposed to start scanning through our site & select important info, pls write down here what you think should be deleted, and then we can delete those parts that we agree on.0101pera06 12:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: welcome. 1) although they are repeated in later section, i think we can keep them in the intro part, coz in newspapers, they normally also have all the pts in the intro, and then elaborate on those later. 2) however, it'll be a gd idea to rephrase those pts in 'mission', as they're just copied fm HKDCS official site. Or add a reference to it at the end. 3) And we can delete "it's mission is to protect whales and dolphins through scientific research and educating the public', as this is repeated in 'mission'. 4) i think HKDCS is not the ONLY one, coz WWF is also a NGO, and it cares for animals' conservation too. 0101pera06 13:20, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This article needs to be structured a bit differently I think. For example, at the very top it should indicate the intended jurisdiction of the HKDCS - surely, I assume, the motivation to set up the conservation society is to protect these pink dolphins that are around Hong Kong? This should be mentioned right at the top. That way, the article does not need to repeatedly tell the reader the same thing throughout the article. --HappyCamper 15:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: hm .. then shall we put their mission statement in a dotted box and put it at the top of our page?? btw, think we can also delete the first paragraph of "monitoring CWD in PRE", as it's only explaining what CWDs are. It would be possible for users to just click on the CWD interlink to read the details on the CWD wiki page. 0101pera06 16:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggested Deletion 

message: :Image:HKDCS Updated Logo.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 this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.
