Inappropriate
editThis is not an appropriate edit summary. Having Category:Chinese people as a parent category of Category:Hong Kong people is not a suggestion that they are equivalent, or that Hongkongers are Chinese. It is grouped that way because Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PR of China, and therefore there is a link between people of China and people of Hong Kong. If you examine the Wikipedia category tree, the Hong Kong categories for people are always a subcategory of the Chinese ones. The category system is not a perfect system and the fact that a category is a subcategory of another should not be taken as the "final word" on a particular relationship between the two topics. That's why we have articles, like Hong Kong people, which can fully explain the relationship. Good Ol’factory (talk) 10:03, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Please discuss this issue here or at Category talk:Hong Kong people. If you just keep deleting parent categories, you could get blocked for disruptive editing. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:29, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Chan Cheuk-ming
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Chan Cheuk-ming, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1218566/recipe-helping-others. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa (talk) 14:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
