message: Shouldn't the number of countries sending delegates be first in the opening paragraph?  The way it's phrased makes it seem like the protestors are the reason this conference is happening, and it's incidentally being attended by official representatives from other countries.  I think. --Nmindos 17:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Bias is a concern NPOV-- NGO's are too often referred to using unbalanced vocabulary choices and are mentioned in the same paragraph with one unfortunate incident: the suicide of Lee Kyung Hae. A modicum of effort will reveal that an wide array of descriptors and other less extreme but relevant examples of NGO activities are available. --Kaspiann 15:04, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I tried to clarify the potential benefits and cleaned up spelling, grammar. There also seemed to be a suggestion that the WTO exists to help developed countries, which is not the case. It is a forum to discuss issues of trade -- whether a decision helps one or another country is not the WTO's primary concern. --Kaspiann 06:12, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

message: After about an hour of confrontation, the protesters cleaned up after themselves and took their rubbish away with them.
The above line was taken from the December 14th section. The use of the word rubbish is highly un-neutral and the whole line is very bias. I will change it to: "After about an hour of confrontation, confrontations between police and protestors dimished"
**The use of the word 'rubbish' is common in Hong Kong. It basically means trash. In fact, when I attended school in Hong Kong, I never learned the word 'trash'. I still agree with the editting though, since it seems more professional. However, I do not see how the original statement is bias in any way.
**Rubbish and trash in fact mean the same. Rubbish is used in British English and trash in American English. Rubbish here in this context does not mean the opinion someone thinks it's bad, it basically means something you throw away. If you really find it confusing, you may use the word refuse. But it is quite formal and I don't think it is necessary.
:I never considered there is a second meaning to the word "rubbsh". The sentence shows the protestors care about HK.  --  W  P Talk 04:39, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rubbish?

message: : On Dec 17 the two local television statations (TVB and ATV) repeatedly showed the demonstrators trying to break from the areas that they were assigned for demonstrations, with continuous verbal statement that has the effect of a 'state media' as it supported the violence used by the Hong Kong Police Force without remembering a news programme is supposed to be impartial. The image shown on TV also focused predominantly the demonstrators when they tried to reach the Hong Kong Covention & Exhibition Centre, in order to highlight the Korean farmers as a crowd of unruly people. The press has not done better as most coverage is biased.
I have removed the above text under section Sponsorship which comments on the bias by TVB and ATV and the press because:
# it duplicates a paragraph under the Media section, and
# it is, imo, POV.
I would suggest further that the same paragraph under the Media section be re-written.
