thread_title:  Congratulations 

message: Hello, I thought I should mention some thoughts about the introduction. I've never been to Hong Kong, so I'm guessing at what I'm writing. I think the intro should ideally touch upon what makes Lam Tin unique, without dwelling too much on any one topic. I get the impression that Lam Tin is distinguished by the transport interchanges that are located there. At the same time, I don't think there's any need to elaborate further on them, unless you feel that it is of global and not regional interest. One thing that I think is missing is more stuff about the demographics: is Lam Tin richer/poorer/the same as other areas of Hong Kong? Is the population there older/younger/the same as elsewhere? Other thoughts: are there any unique tourist attractions there, particularly anything that would be worth writing an article about? Is Lam Tin dominated by large residential buildings, or single-family homes, or a mix of the two? --Kyoko 20:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Concerning the layout... Where does the problem lie? (is it a problem with IE again?) It looks perfect when viewed with Firefox 2.0. --Deryck C.review my hometown! 10:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Viewing with IE, there are large gaps between the headings and the text. I tried to fix it but one of the images will need to be removed first. Epbr123 13:26, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Lam Tin Hill should get a mention in the geography section, and to remove the technicality, the meaning of the kind of rock could be explained.  "Intrusions" means that the molten material forming the rock was pushed in from elsewhere.  Leucocratic means that it is white.  I am guessing that "subcircular" is refering to the shape of the intrusions - roughly circular.  "Monzogranite" has its own article, it means a granite that contains biotite so this rock will appear pale with black flecks. GB 00:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA fail

message: I have to say I don't absolutely agree with the suggestion that the lists in this article "should either be removed, made into prose, or be given their own articles."  I don't know if they're notable enough on their own to garner their own articles, and turning them into prose would make them more difficult to read, given that the article does not, and probably need not, offer more information for each individual listing.  Is there anything in WP:MOS that's relevant to this issue?  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 21:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've read through WP:LIST and WP:EMBED. Indeed, the guideline does not enforce the indiscriminate removal or rewriting of lists; it just suggests that prose is better than list whenever prose is a better presentation. Given the situation of this article, the embedded lists should stay. --Deryck C. 09:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I think if we plan to offer more information for each item on the list, then prose might be better.  Otherwise, the list is long enough that just turning what's there into prose would basically read something like "J14 Hing Tin (興田), J15 Tak Tin (德田), J16 Lam Tin (藍田), J17 Kwong Tak (廣德), J18 Ping Tin (平田), J19 Hong Pak (康柏), J21 Yau Tong Sze Shan West (油塘四山西), J22 Lai Kong (麗港), J23 King Tin (景田)", which is not really as readable as putting them in a list.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 15:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We can add the areas contained by the constituencies, but even that's the case bulleted sentences are preferable over complete prose in terms of readability. --Deryck C. 14:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lists in this article 

message: Basically all the requirements of the previous GA reviewer were fulfilled. First, Lam Tin Estate, though already demolished, deserves this much mention because it was the thing that made the whole district be named "Lam Tin". Second, no guideline demand the complete removal of lists, especially when embedded lists are more preferable than prose, which is the case of this article.
Just one item remaining - the layout fix. Using Firefox, I think I'm not able to do anything. I hope somebody would help me fix that, and then put the article up for GA review again. --Deryck C. 09:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Work towards a re-nom 

message: I've removed some images and re-positioned others to try to fix the format issues that appear on IE.  Please feel free to revert if I've removed too many images or if it screwed up the way the article looks on your own browser.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 15:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's okay. Those removed images are not of really high quality, and the number of image in the article now is still abundant. --Deryck C. 16:17, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Qigong has done much to make up the format of the article so that it looks alright in IE. Thanks to his effort, things are now okay. If you really want to view with IE, you might see the problem in the older versions of this article. --Deryck C. 14:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Format and images 

message: Its obvious that a lot of work was put into this entry, and the result is of high quality. There are a few issues I've noticed that would need to be addressed prior to promotion though:
*It may seem simple to those familiar with Hong Kong, but a brief explanation of the term "estate" as used here would be helpful
**I think I found a better link - what do you think? TewfikTalk 18:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is just about ready for promotion. I just need to proofread it as some of the English is choppy, and I'll do so shortly. Good work, TewfikTalk 07:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
