comments[edit]

Also, Sai Kung is not an urban agglomeration. It is a large district that includes the urban agglomeration of Tseung Kwan O. The population figure provided for Sai Kung in the "Largest Urban Agglomerations" list actually includes (95% of it) the population for Tseung Kwan O, which is listed directly below! --219.79.12.227 06:27, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Largest Urban Agglomerations" section of this article, I added a short explanation for "Victoria City" in parentheses. My reasons are: 1. There is no more "Victoria City", either in official parlance or in common speech. 2. The average Hongkonger in the year 2005 would not know where Victoria City is. If you mention that name in conversation, all you'd get would be blank stares. "There's a Victoria Harbour, certainly, but where in the world is Victoria City? Maybe... British Columbia in Canada?" ;) --219.79.12.227 06:15, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... the list of largest urban agglomerations is a bit dodgy to my eyes. How can Tseung Kwan O urban agglomeration have a population of 365,000 when the district the entire agglomeration is in- Sai Kung- only has a population of 327,689 according to the HK Census and Statistics Department's website? Dodgy, dodgy. --Lapin rossignol 06:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That stuff had been there for ages without any source (from edit history). Why adding source would have resulted in deletion of the whole bunch of information? Nonsense. Iianq 14:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing sourced here except the claim of "twin cities", so please do not remove the unsourced template.

The bit about "twin cities" is irrelevant.

See also sections should be trimmed to be immediately relevant or links moved into the main text of the article and deleted altogether, please do not restore generic links.

The english in the introduction is horrible. Please don't revert the cleanup of it. SchmuckyTheCat

What do you mean by "any urbanized areas"? Iianq 16:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of times these lists get deleted. Dave Rebecca 19:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
