message: re 
#per Wikipedia:Only_make_links_that_are_relevant_to_the_context, "time zone" does not need to be linked twice in the article. It should be linked in the text where possible.
#I don't see how HK's status as being part of the PRC is relevant here. Hong Kong Time existed long before HK became a SAR.
#The pipe link "mainland China|the rest of China" is inappropriate because it implies MO and TW are not part of China.

replies: text: In normal speech, we should tell the users some bginfo - HK is part of China. This is used even in envelopes. The rest of my edits satisfy both your principles as stated above and my assertions. --Deryck C. 08:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

text: See if Instantnood's recent edit can satisfy your criteria. --Deryck C. 07:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Although I'm still quite not convinced by your statement "location of Hong Kong is common knowledge (that doesn't need to be stated)". Even on envelopes and newsletters and even common speech we write "China" after "Hong Kong". --Deryck C. 04:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: There have been a continued reversion dispute between  Deryck Chan,  Alanmak and  Jiang, concerning whether we should put "China" after Hong Kong. Please discuss here. Outside comment is, of course, greatly welcome.
*IMO even in envelope writing we have "China" after "Hong Kong". This can show it's not enough "common" of a common knowledge that Hong Kong is part of China, and that "China" should be kept. --Deryck C. 01:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course we don't mention it in the title. But do we mention it in the context? I think yes. --Deryck C. 04:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: see links to news articles above. You always mention the country or state for obscure places, but for world class cities, it is not necessary--Jiang 07:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Okay, I agree with this point, so if you can ask for Alanmak's consent concerning your point, I'll let you delete the word. --Deryck C. 15:51, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I was bold and added an infobox with a summary of timezone information, including the main thing I was searching for when I came across this page, and that is the Serial that coders use in languages like PHP to choose the timezone.
I also added this information in the body of the article, with appropriate references.  Hope you think this is as useful as I do, it seems something that should be added to all "time" pages that are about the cities in the Timezone Serial names.
