Talk:Hong Kong Police Force

No references

The fact that this article cites no references that I can see holds it to B class, it is otherwise a very good, informative article.--SGGH 14:10, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Ach. I find it amusing to edit this page.

Nazi logo

Khdfyh9t added Nazi logo over the HKPF's logo (I'm too green to know what to do about it).

Whitewash in the name of NPOV

I wonder who is responsible to judge what is NPOV in this page. It is outrages that a non-Chinese who has no local knowledge, Necrothesp, acting as a (pretentious English) judge on ruling what is NPOV and what is not.

Necrothesp, you're not Chinese, you're not Hong-Konger, you have no local knowledge on this topic so it is entire inappropriate for you to judge what is NPOV in this page or what is not.

Or should I say now English don't care about human right abuses in other places because they simply locked terrorist suspect in their own home without trial. Sort of British version of Guantanamo Bay, huh?

Wikipedia articles can be edited by anyone in the world. Race and nationality should be irrelevant. Local knowledge can be helpful to someone editing a topic, but the editorial guidelines are very clear that the actual content *must* be based entirely on verifiable third party sources. The material that was removed was not well-sourced and amounted to nothing more than a lengthy rant about police brutality. If police brutality is as common and widespread as was written, simply provide some reliable, independent sources to substantiate this claim. However, if you're simply looking for a platform where you can express your disapproval of the police you should just create your own web site. --Lee Hunter 29 June 2005 15:59 (UTC)

I really think you should examine Wikipedia's policies and aims before you instruct me as to what it is appropriate for me to edit and what is or is not NPOV. It is not necessary to have local knowledge to know what is and is not a rant. Neither is it necessary to have local knowledge in order to copyedit an article in my own language - you are reverting everything because a few revisions do not conform to your own political views. -- Necrothesp 29 June 2005 16:46 (UTC)

By your passage, it is clearly seen that you're not an objective person. Therefore no wonder, you make such comments in feedback to someone who disagrees (or disapproves in your own words, maybe), and 'edit' some wordings in the page of the Hong Kong Police Force.

firearms

What models of firearms are used by the HK police?

They still use the good old revolver.......S&W Model 10 i think --124.177.179.74 00:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

And last week when I was talking to an officer on the street I noticed that his revolver still bears the stamping RHKP on the grip! Still using ROYAL Hong Kong Police firearms obviously.Tom M. 09:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Similar to the case of bank notes and coins issued before 1997 bearing the image of QE2 still in circulation. Medals and ribbons conferred by the British Souvereign before the re-unification are still authorised for wearing on uniform. As regards firearms - S&W Model 10 Heavy Barrel for normal uniformed duties. Colt Detective Specials (1970's variant)by detectives, to be replaced by SIG Sauer P250 Dcc (9mm) in mid 2007. Glock 17s are used by special units. Other firearms currently in use are H&K MP5s (both full-auto and semi-auto), Colt AR15s, Remington 870s, Knights Armament M4s plus a number of different sniper rifles. (WilsonC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Rhongkongpolicelogo.png

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
