message: This article has been plagued with numerous copyright issues.  The most recent run has clearly been copied from this website.  This is not acceptable, per WP:COPYRIGHT.  Such material is also very WP:ADVERT like and not up to encyclopedic content.  I've had to delete this article for repeated violations of this policy.  Please stop doing it. hbdragon88 (talk) 05:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This must indeed be a very tenuous 'B' quality status, it gives the impression of being self-promotional and admittedly, the University webmaster has not hidden the fact they've been behind the article! I've added a 'citations needed' box, removed the inline links to the university website pages and added a section on the University's buildings - apparently it has a new addition by Daniel Liebskind, which is certainly notable.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hi , you reverted my edit which deleted a piped link which was unnecessary. Please see WP:NOPIPE and perhaps reconsider. If you think the redirect shouldn't exist, you can nominate it at RfD. Doanri (talk) 09:49, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  redirects instead of piped links 

message: I've just noticed that large parts of the Library section has been copied from  and only very slightly modified. For how copyright violations are to be dealt with, see WP:DCV. Some people on talk have suggested that the copyvio edits have been made by CityU's webmaster, in that case, it might be an option for the webmaster to release the content of the website under a Wikipedia-appropriate licence.

thread_title:  Copyright violations and plagiarism 

message: The page was full of coi, copyvio edits that mixed with genuine third party such as "controversially shut down its MFA programme in creative writing", so it may be not appropriate to just speedy delete the page. Instead, it may need cleanup team, given the talk page was full of complaints on peacock terms and promotional tones. The page did deleted in 2009 by  for speedy G12.

replies: text: The whole article would need to be revdelled; it is shot through with COPYVIO from a long time ago.  Needs to be done over from scratch. Jytdog (talk) 04:43, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

message: We write "Hong Kong" on Wikipedia, there is no need to write "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" in the first sentence. It's clumsy and unnecessary. "Schools" is used in a general sense in the lede. The lede paragraph is where basic facts are introduced, such as the year the university was founded. Lastly, you are reminded AGAIN that if you have a conflict of interest you NEED TO DISCLOSE IT. Wikipedia is an ENCYCLOPEDIA, not a vehicle for promotion. Citobun (talk) 03:23, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit warring by Donovanjustin 

message: User:Citobun has attempted to remove from this article a hatnote which is comparable to those in other similar articles such as City University of New York, Nagoya City University and Dublin City University. And when he/she did so he coupled in his/her edits unexplained reverts of other unrelated changes to the article. He/she has been reminded at WP:RFPP that he/she should seek consensus here in this talk page if he/she'd propose something in contrary to the common practice and in the edit summaries not to tie-in unexplained reverts. 124.217.188.145 (talk) 09:51, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Well my argument would be that the hatnote is basically pointless because the names of the universities are different and therefore would not be confused. But whatever. I do have to roll my eyes at a long-term, IP-hopping, revert-warring editor reminding me how to work constructively on Wikipedia. Citobun (talk) 10:01, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Do you mean the names would not be confusing? 124.217.188.145 (talk) 17:54, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disambiguation hatnote 

message: Regarding the question in the edit summary https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=City_University_of_Hong_Kong&diff=1054179645&oldid=1054162981: It's surprising to know that this would be something which gotta be asked. If you had read this newspaper before its name was changed to the iMail then to the Standard you wouldn't have asked this question. It was how its name was spelt, just like Hongkong Hilton, Hongkong Land, the Hongkong Electric Company, Hongkong Post or the HongkongBank. You can search for images online. Please do revert your request for page protection since that was clearly made because of your misunderstanding. 203.145.95.32 (talk) 20:59, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Here are some examples of online pictures. 203.145.95.32 (talk) 22:01, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: We should use the newspaper name at the time of publishing. The newspaper was known as Hongkong Standard in 1983. But probably Citobun made something wrong if he add space between Hong Kong in HK Standard. Just don't change it to iMail either as there is no iMail in 1983. Matthew hk (talk) 00:45, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   I can't get what you mean? Something like "H K"? And why just 1983? 203.145.95.32 (talk) 03:11, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

text: Some offtopic. The edit by another ip that use land lot as address is definitely wrong (Special:Diff/1053180450) as land lot is not used in day to day life (May be buying a house and the legal doc use it, but else? During land sale?) And the official address in the bottom of https://www.cityu.edu.hk/ is , dont even have neighbourhood or street number (so that avoiding the argument it is Kowloon Tong" or  Yau Yat Tsuen, as primary source did not even use either one). Matthew hk (talk) 01:34, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  There are cases where using lot numbers is necessary. It may not be necessary for this particular case but that certainly isn't something "definitely wrong" or "not used in day to day [sic] life". 203.145.95.32 (talk) 03:25, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

text: Self correct. The main webpage did not list the neighbourhood, but the other page has neighbourhood listed https://www.cityu.edu.hk/about/campus/opening-hours. The uni say it is part of Kowloon Tong then we just follow it. Matthew hk (talk) 01:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   Information from official websites is often good source of reference but may not necessarily be something we should "just follow it". 203.145.95.32 (talk) 03:25, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tat Chee Avenue 

message: Resubmission as a new request per Ganbaruby: To reinstate the hyperlinks to the actual districts, as opposed to the namesake neighbourhood within these districts.  The references for doing so would be the articles on these districts and neighbourhoods themselves. 203.145.95.63 (talk) 11:34, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No evidence that the text should refer to the District Council district rather than the areas in a general sense. Citobun (talk) 13:21, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hyperlinks to the actual districts 

message: Resubmission as a new request per Ganbaruby, as above: To reinstate the outdated tag, since there are now eleven tertiary educational institutions in the territory which bear university in their names or are equivalence of universities which status is established by the law of the territory.  Alternatively, to replace the word eight with eleven direct. 203.145.95.63 (talk) 11:34, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
