Talk:Queen's Pier

message: As far as I concern, the original Queen's Pier was built in 1925, which was a year earlier than the birth of Princess Elizabeth! So how can the pier be named after her?--Clithering 08:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right. It was named after Queen Victoria.Shrimp wong 17:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Great! On the other hand, could you state the references for supporting this belief? Narold 03:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Queen Elizabeth II?

message: Perhaps it's time to make a push for GA status?  This article is well-referenced enough.  With some copy-editing and proof-reading, I think it wouldn't be difficult to get it promoted.
Also, as an aside, I hope the activists keep up the fight to save the pier.  It should really be marked as a historic site so it'll be protected.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 15:37, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA status? 

message: Take a look at Wikipedia:DATE#Autoformatting and linking.  It suggest that dates be linked for autoformatting, but that "days of the year, years, decades, centuries and millennia" should not be linked.
As far as the correctness of the Chinese name is concerned - it's merely a translation of the English name.  The pier is dedicated to Queen V, so it would seem that the English name is incorrect, no?  In that it is not named "Queen Regnant's Pier"?  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 17:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the date format to "dd MM" because that's the format usually used in Hong Kong - day before month.  I linked dates for autoformatting because that's what WP:DATE suggests.  As for the Chinese name being incorrect, that's an irrelevant mention unless it is mentioned that the English name is also incorrect.  The Chinese name is a mere translation, incorrect or not.  I mean, what's the point in pointing out that the Chinese name is supposedly "incorrect" unless you also mention that it is only carrying the "incorrectness" of the English name?  Anyway, I guess we disagree with how to handle the dates, so I'll bow out of editing this article now.  It does need MoS improvements before it is GA quality though.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 03:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

text: *The only reason why the dates were "put back" into MM dd was because I was lazy. I have no issue one way or another, so long as it is consistent throughout. My real objection being with the wikilinking. Ohconfucius (talk) 05:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: GA Passed

message: I thought the pier was completely demolished with the rubble removed...why is there a section seemingly talking about the possible solutions to deal with the pier? Dengero (talk) 12:49, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it was carefully dismantled and put into storage, with the promise that it would be rebuilt, at Central Harbourfront. Onanoff (talk) 09:29, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Wishful thinking. The communist party will not allow a reconstruction of foreigner's imperialist's past on its soil. That was the main reason it was torn down in the first place, but the article soft-pedals that.  Now that the gov't of Hong Kong is firmly in Beijing's hands, these sort of notices to make conservationists go 'way and don't bother us are just pat answers until the next one. 50.111.25.27 (talk) 08:31, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
