Accuracy[edit]
This page has been nominated Collaboration Project in zh-wp's HK wikipedians' notice board. The original intention was to simply translate the English article into the Chinese, but in the process numerous factual inaccuracies were revealed -- one blatantly obvious one is that "In 1997, Tung Chee-Hwa was elected with eighty percent of the electoral votes in a four-candidate race." -- there were only two other candidates, namely Mr. Peter Woo (吳光正) and Sir Ti Liang Yang (楊鐵樑).

Actually, Tung was elected in Dec 1996. The 4th candidate, Simon Li (Glady's Li's father and a member of an old family in HK, not related to the richest man in HK, Li Ka-shing, who was an illegal immigrant from the mainland in the 1950s) was eliminated in the first round of nominations, but he was one of 4 recognized candidates who stood for the office. Li, though aged, has recently become involved in environmentalism in HK. His daughter Gladys is a prominent barrister and founding member of the Civic Party, standing for election in the Legal FC for the Chief Executive Election Committee.
