Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

The section on "World-Class Office Accommodation and Services" looks like advertisement and certainly is not written a neutral language. I suggest that it is removed. Opinions?

- It certainly looked like an advert to me, it did not have any worthy objective information. I've removed it.

Sorry if it's a stupid question... I'm new to wikipedia, now that subjective information is removed, can we remove the clean-up tag? Thanks!199.111.230.195 22:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Two ifc" or "two ifc"

Is it branded as the former or the latter? Thanks. — Instantnood 18:39, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Notice the capitalization usage here. SchmuckyTheCat 18:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I've seen both in real life. — Instantnood 19:00, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I would say Two IFC is more appropriate - NOOB

Yes, grammatically. As a brand name they can break whatever english rules they wish. SchmuckyTheCat 17:39, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, I see de-capitalisation a rising trend in the English language, like the news heading appeared in BBC News and the cover of Beckham's book. Is it a sort of enhancement of visual art, I guess? -- Jerry Crimson Mann 04:26, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hong Kong Station

Hong Kong Station is directly linked to the ifc, or at least the ifc mall. Was it built in coordination with the ifc or built later? Afterall, the two parts of the ifc mall is connected by a walkway which spans above the check in facilities. Should the answer to this Q be put into the article?

[edit] Pictures

Does anyone else feel that there are one too many pictures about IFC on here? Luke! 03:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Percent ownership

Currently the background states that Bank of China owns 5% of the development, and while they may have when it was originally built, they were bought out by Henderson Group. I don't have any sources for this other than a tour I went on of IFC today and I was told by someone working for Henderson Group that Bank of China had been bought out. I was also told that it is now split 50/50 between Sun Hung Kai and Henderson. Anyone know if this is correct and should be changed in the article to reflect the real figures ? samh004^-talk|con 15:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 05:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Price

The price may mix up billion and 10 billion, it is not so high to have a HK$100,000 per floor area (sq.m ), because average is HK$10,000. Matthew_hk tc 19:12, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo ifc.gif

Image:Logo ifc.gif is being used on this article. 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 ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
