Request edit on 22 September 2018

[edit]

I am an unpaid volunteer of the subject. This request is to remove statements that are no longer true and to add some sources.

  • Remove ", Hong Kong Computer Society (HKCS) and the University of Hong Kong (HKU)". Note: change previous comma to "and". Add reference just after the deleted text: [1]
  • Add reference after "The first HKOI was held in 1997.": [2]
  • Add reference after "each test was solely to select team members for the competitions.": [3]
  • Add Reflist section

  Unable to implement  

  1. "Remove HKCS and HKU" is problematic as an instruction to act because it does not indicate where this text is located.
  2. Generally speaking, references are not placed in the lead section. The lead summarizes information found in the body of the article, and the references should be attached to those claims within the body.
  3. "each test was solely to select team members for the competitions" is not easily confirmed with the provided source. Please elaborate on the location of this statement within the reference provided (i.e., the 4th sentence of the third paragraph, etc.)
  4. The reflist cannot be added because, as of yet, there are no references to populate this section if it were added.

    • Note: change previous comma to "and".

  2. Green tickY A reference was added to the first sentence of the History section.
  3. Red XN A reference was not added to the claim regarding "each test was solely to select..." because the sentence in the source document which verifies this claim was not found after a perusal of the document, and because this missing sentence was not pointed out by the COI editor when asked to under point #3 of the prior review's reply.
  4. Green tickY The third paragraph of the History section was omitted.
  5. Green tickY A reference was added to the 4th paragraph of the History section (which in fact becomes the 3rd paragraph of the History section after completing number #4 above.)
