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). HK Wikipedians please help! -- tonync (talk) (講) 05:21, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
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.
