Hong Kong Shopping Centres

Hello 17purple. I know you've been doing a work creating articles such as Oi Tung Shopping Centre, and that's great -- but I'm afraid that they aren't really written or formatted the way we ask people to write. Because our goal is to create an encyclopedia, we don't have articles like those -- they are more like listings, and they don't describe them. There are guidelines at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not

Please edit them into articles, or I'm afraid that they may soon be listed on the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion page.

Please see Wikipedia:How to edit a page and Wikipedia:How to start a page for more information.

Thanks, BCorr ¤ Брайен 16:23, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
