Huaiwei's edits[edit]

Huaiwei added {{Counties of China}} and category:Administrative divisions of the People's Republic of China to this article. The districts in Hong Kong are neither counties, nor part of the PRC's administrative divisions, as provided for in the Article 30 of the 1982 Constitution. — Insta ntnood 17:18, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

What country are the districts of Hong Kong an administrative division of, then? Obviously the authority to create administrative divisions extends beyond article 30 of the 1982 constitution. SchmuckyTheCat 18:25, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Districts of Hong Kong and counties in mainland China are all part of the PRC, but they're not part of the same administrative division structure. — Insta ntnood 17:34, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

Comme çi, comme ça cuz it's like that, and that's the way it is. SchmuckyTheCat 19:24, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Name[edit]

I can't go along with the idea of fragmentising Hong Kong Special Administrative Region into Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Would it be nice to break PRC into People's Republic of China in other sense? -- Jerry Crimson Mann 13:42, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Wars[edit]

Please no edit wars here once again. :) Let's don't revert each other's edits over trivial things what's wrong with breaking it up? I don't see anything wrong. --Terence Ong ^Talk 10:26, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

Can someone provide more history prior to 1982? John Walden, Director of Home Affairs from 1976 to 1980, noted in 1979 that there were 10 City Distric Offices, Headquarters in International Building, with "300 well-educated Chinese and dedicated young people" working for it.[1] --Ghormax 10:21, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There were already District Offices, each with a District Officer, prior to the creation of District Councils. The limits the districts were slight changed after the councils were established, and some are divided into two. — Insta ntnood 23:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maps[edit]

I found detailed PDF maps of the Hong Kong districts here: https://www.eac.hk/en/distco/2015dc_elect_map.htm WhisperToMe (talk) 18:37, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Population section[edit]

There is two problems. It is no update since 2006. The area data is not found in the latest edition of the periodical cited. https://www.censtatd.gov.hk/hkstat/sub/sp150.jsp?productCode=B1130301. The data for area size probably locate somewhere else . If the two data were digged out , then other wiki editors can reconstruct the table. Also, simple calculation is allowed per WP:CALC. But i think the population density data are pre-calculated by the Census and Statistics Department. Otherwise we need to discuss to use the land area as denominator or total area that also include sea area. However, very few people live on the sea/boat.
