Query on topless bars[edit]

Are there any topless bars left in Hong Kong? The last legally licensed one was Bottoms Up, but I'm not sure if it's still topless since it moved to Wanchai. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodparkes (talk • contribs) 2007-02-23 01:40:42

"Students" section[edit]

This clearly doesn't belong here. It's anecdotal. None of the other sections contain anecdotes like this. It makes general claims from one example. It overlaps with the "freelance" section, so part of this could be moved there if general cites could be found. The claims about the murdered girl could be in a separate part of the article, but clearly they don't belong here. 108.67.153.215 (talk) 23:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CNN (Asia) is a perfectly valid source for this story. It was originally added by another anonymous editor (as you are):
  • 03:10, 25 July 2011‎ 169.234.98.85 (talk)‎ (18,344 bytes) (→Types and venues) (undo)
This seems to be a different socio-phenomenon than the other categories. The material should be re-inserted, perhaps modified a bit. But it's veritable to the source (CNN). You mentioned "anecdotal"? Here's also what CNN wrote:
Story Highlights
- "Compensated dating" growing among Hong Kong teen girls, social workers say
- Practice is a form of prostitution, Hong Kong legal experts say
- Caseload of girls engaging in practice has doubled in two years, social worker says
- Girls engaging in practice cut across socioeconomic levels, social worker says
It would seem to be quite a real dangerous practice and trend and should therefore be included in this Wikipedia article. --- Wikiklrsc (talk) 05:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Accordingly, I've re-worked the material and put it in the "freelance" section. --- Wikiklrsc (talk) 06:18, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure why you consider it relevant that both me and the editor who originally added the material are anonymous; it isn't. Also I never said CNN Asia wasn't a valid source. I questioned the appropriateness of inclusion, a completely independent consideration from the verifiability of the info.
But thanks for reworking the material and improving the article. See how much more constructive that is than reverting without consideration and giving "CITATION BACKS UP TEXTUAL MATERIAL" as an edit summary? 108.67.153.215 (talk) 03:02, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Very good. Best wishes. --- Wikiklrsc (talk) 20:15, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appointments[edit]

I find the source for the following UNRELIABLE, but for the sake of free-encyclopedia, I mention it here anyway. Perhaps some experienced lawyers can find RELIABLE source. Tony85poon (talk) 08:54, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply] 

The laws of Hong Kong currently allow classified ads for prostitution and websites<ref>{{cite web|url=http://zonaeuropa.com/20051005_3.htm|title=EastSouthWestNorth: Internet Pimps in Hong Kong|website=zonaeuropa.com}}</ref> that allow clients to make appointments with prostitutes.
@Tony85poon: I disagree about zonaeuropa.com being unreliable sources. The article links to three other sources. That said, I don't think the source backs up the text in the article "The laws of Hong Kong currently allow classified ads for prostitution and websites that allow clients to make appointments with prostitutes." The defendants were found guilty in this case so this does not point to the ads being legal. There was also further action against Sex141 in 2013. --John B123 (talk) 16:20, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
