Talk:Hong Kong identity card

message: ...The links for references 2, 3, and 6 did not work for me.
...A section about non-Hong Kong citizens applying for an HKID should be included, as some of the rules may differ.
...In the section called "Classes of HKID," the wording about the Hong Kong Identity Card is identical to that of its source, in reference number 1, and should be changed to avoid plagiarism.
...In the section called "HKID Number," the sentences about the letter U and its association with women who have just given birth seems unnecessary and could be deleted. Besides, there is no source for this information.
...In "Information on first and second-generation computerised HKIDs," it is unclear what the difference is between the two types, and citations are needed. This section also seems less relevant, so it could possibly be moved to later in the article, after "Hong Kong Smart ID Cards" and "Use as a travel document."
...The "Names on Chinese and Roman Script" section seems irrelevant and off-topic. I think it should be deleted, because the article is already pretty long.
...Consider using an example photo of an HKID for "Information on the face of a smart identity card" section. Instead of listing the included elements, a photo with the different elements labeled may be an appreciated alternative.
...In "Use as a Travel Document," there is a statement about Albania accepting HKIDs but no source. When I tried to find a source for it, I only found this one, http://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/press/press-releases/20111230.html, which states that people who have a Hong Kong passport can enter Albania without a visa, not people who have a Hong Kong ID card.

message: I wonder why there are links to MyKad and National Registration Identity Card in the See Also section, despite the fact that they are never mentioned in the main article. I am going to remove them because information is already included in the more general Identity document article.

thread_title: Table

message: I wonder how many HKIDs exist in the HK govt database. The population of HK is 7 million, but given the large number of immigrants and emigres there could be up to 20 million HKID holders in the world... any idea how we can find out this information?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.151.203 (talk) 18:32, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
