Changes to Current Events in HK and Macao
Check the Talk page, the change wasn't unexplained. The article was not being maintained, and I was going to start maintaining it. But the current format required more work than there is interest to maintain it. Basically it looked like I was going to be the only one updating it, so I changed it to a simpler format because I simply don't want to spend the amount of time it would take to upkeep it. Also, I renamed it to "Current events in Hong Kong" because Portal:Hong Kong is only for Hong Kong and not for Macau as well, and there didn't seem to be any news updates for Macau in that article anyway.
Now, I would love to maintain the current events page for HK, but simply not in the current format. The format is too much work. If you insist on the current format, are you going to put in the work to upkeep it? Hong Qi Gong 17:23, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Hong Kong Industrial Estate
Dear Instantnood,
Noted you have moved the 大埔工業園 back to 大埔工業邨 for reason "no hit by searching "大埔工業園" site:gov.hk". Don't think this is good enough as you do not even read the amended article and provided External link. The company "Hong Kong Industrial Estate" already merged into "Hong Kong Science Park" in 2001 and the name of the three industrial estates changed from 工業邨 to 工業園.
FYI, I have worked in a company in Taipo Industrial Estate from early 90's to 2002.

re territorial disputes
please read my comments on the talk page of this article. I had a lot of my work (a lot sourced/referenced) deleted, and while I was a bit aggrieved at this, my aim is to get bits reinstated to (hopefully) everyone's satisfaction. Any views/help gratefully received. RAYMI. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.68.39.212 (talk • contribs) 13:16, July 4, 2006 (UTC).
UN List of Non-Self-Governing Territories
Hi. You have previously posted a couple of questions on the discussion page for the referenced article United_Nations_list_of_Non-Self-Governing Territories. I wanted to mention that I've recently added some content to the article as well as a few words on the discussion page that might be of interest in response to the questions. I didn't want you to miss it if you aren't watching the page. Newyorkbrad 15:00, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Spelling
I don't know about that. We have a Macau article, not a Macao article. While Macao gets 35.3 million Google hits, Macau gets 116 million Google hits. The CIA World Factbook uses Macau as well. And not to cite a Wikipedia article, but the Macau article indicates...
- The form "Macao" was the original Portuguese spelling, and has been retained in most European languages. In modern Portuguese, the correct spelling is "Macau". During the 20th century, the official spelling "Macau" became more and more common in English-language sources, including most print media.
Do you believe that last statement is incorrect? So perhaps my edit summary may not have been 100% correct, but I believe we should stick with Macau for consistency on Wikipedia and due to its overall popularity. joturner 17:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

The page ban was related to the criteria to the field "largest city" in the country infobox. Which probably gives a clue of why Instantnood is suddenly taking special intrest in articles like Singapore City, City Council of Singapore, Singapore City Council election, 1957, Singapore City Council by-election, 1958, etc, and spreading the revert warring to these pages.--Huaiwei 13:19, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
My related commentary from [2]:
- The page ban was not related to the City of Singapore and the City Council articles. The chief reason for Instantnood's ban from the Singapore article was over his views on the city status of Singapore and the existance of its capital city [3]. After facing universal opposition from the wikipedian community, he unilaterally attempted to create a seperate article called Singapore City to support his assertion that the gazetted city of Singapore during the colonial era is distinct from the present city, hence his believe that no city exists in Singapore contemporarily [4] [5]. When this move was again resisted by other wikipedians, he initiated other articles such as City Council (Singapore), Singapore City (historical entity), City Council of the City of Singapore, Mayor of Singapore, Singapore City Council election, 1957 and Singapore City Council by-election, 1958, amongst other articles to stamp his viewpoint, and resulting in the wikiwar spreading to all of them. I therefore doubt his assertion that these reverts were not essentially "over the same thing".--Huaiwei 13:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Instantnood, the population for Taiwan province is missing a digit. I don't know where you got the data from so I cannot correct it. — Nrtm81 07:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ah I see. I thought the website gave the actual figures for the provinces (My mistake). By the way, the second external link is dead. — Nrtm81 01:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for taking 4 months to reply to your message here... -_-" but before I modify it, what did you mean by High Island reservoir being "a channel" before it being dammed? Please reply on my zh-talkpage, thanks. -- tonync (talk) (講) 17:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I still don't quite see what you mean -- perhaps you can find an image or some sort to help? -- tonync (talk) (講) 18:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Instantnood, I don't agree with your move of removing the article merge. Please see the Talk:Taiwan Province for my reasons. Thanks. — Nrtm81 02:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Just an additional note, I've thrown in my few cents. (Yes, I'm back somewhat...) Feel free to comment on my page if you want to discuss. - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 07:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've just removed the merge tags and moved the PRC page back to Taiwan Province (People's Republic of China). That was how it was originally before someone moved it to The Claimed Taiwan Province of the People's Republic of China. — Nrtm81 11:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: KCR East Rail Stations
Take zh:大圍站 as an example, before the renovation of Tai Wai Station (大圍站), the name of it was 大圍車站[6].
But after the renovation, it has been changed into 大圍站.Image On the other hand, the expansion project of Sheung Shui Station is using 上水站 instead of 上水車站Image, so all KCR East Rail stations have changed from xx車站 into xx站--Mtrkwt 08:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

May I ask why you made such change, replacing unicode space with non-unicode   ;? Also, I would recommend you to recuse in the TfD because you are also a person of interest. --WinHunter (talk) 06:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Stray votes...?
Hi Instantnood,
Are your votes here meant for elsewhere...? Regards, David Kernow 17:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Apologies; I didn't spot that User:Jtdirl = "FearÉIREANN". I have, however, removed your first vote; hope that's okay. Yours, David 17:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, so long as what's been left is what you intended. Best wishes, David 02:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Misc.
- Please use edit summaries.
- Please do not recreate deleted content.

Instantnood: You are hereby enjoined from editing the article Hepatitis B in China for a period of one year. Failure to comply with this will result in you being blocked from editing altogether. Owen× ☎ 20:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- The article is about the prevalence of a disease in a geographical region commonly known by the name "China". It has nothing to do with the government of that region or any other political aspects. Your edit war on that article served no useful purpose other than to make the article obfuscated and aggravate the other editors. If you wish to contest my ban, feel free to post on WP:AN/I. Owen× ☎ 20:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I am not interested in sorting between POV and NPOV edits. I am here to stop you from engaging in edit wars, as per multiple ArbCom decisions. If the edit you mention is indeed unrelated to the dispute, then by all means feel free to suggest it to SchmuckyTheCat or any other editor, and they may restore it if they see fit to do so. Owen× ☎ 21:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Reverting My Edtits
How dare you revert my edits! I mentioned on the talk page why I had organized the page like that!! Did you even look! Revet it back to my changes! You have no reason for using sections and subsections!!!!100110100 01:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Instantnood! There appears to be a fair but real dispute on this article. I have opened an article RFC on the above talkpage (There were two talkpages to choose from, I selected which one by tossing a coin). Please comment if there are things you wish to add.
