Unreferenced tag

Unidentified user 219.77.84.68 added the unreferenced tag. Most of the references to Sha tau kok in published works deal with the town many decades ago, and more up to date information would require it to be published and authored by someone first before you can make any references available. Given the lack of references, the tag will be here for a very long time.

The difficulty with obscure places is just that, it's obscure where current and up to date info comes from users who have a familiarity with the area. That, would imply that most of the article can be termed original work, and ought to be deleted, since it cannot satisfy Wikipedia's thirst for referencing. Similary other articles on villages and places where there is no referencable material. Either you accept first hand knowledge from longstanding wikipedians with a link to those places, or deletion is the logical endpoint of requiring references for which little up to date publications are lacking.

Is it still closed?

Historically it was considered a closed town. But Sha Tau Kok actually began opening in June 2022, followed by the second phase that started January 2024. [1] So can it still be deemed as closed nowadays if they are now open to tourists?[2]49.180.87.160 (talk) 20:12, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although STK it is more open now but the quota is still 1000 a day with various travel and time restrictions, so it is still considered closed (according to Wikipedia). But I think it is true that in the future travel restrictions would become increasingly lax, so it would be good to update the article with the most updated info.

Chung Ying Street Historical Museum

I think that Chung Ying Street Historical Museum should not be in this article for three reasons:

- It is situated on the Mainland Chinese side of Shatoujiao

- There is another community-run museum in Sha Tau Kok, called Sha Tau Kok Story House

- it is more relevant to the Chung Ying Street article

Or alternatively, it could be relocated to a new section? any thoughts? Justinl21 (talk) 09:58, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
