I've had a look over the material you added. Most of it is quite helpful, but unfortunately, there seems to be a rather large portion which you came up with by conducting personal interviews with Thai people living in Hong Kong. I recognise that this must have taken a lot of effort, but unfortunately, Wikipedia isn't the appropriate venue to include the results of this kind of primary investigation. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, meaning that it attempts to summarise results which have already been published in peer-reviewed secondary sources. To maintain the verifiability of the information in our encyclopedia, we can't include material which is part of unpublished research currently in progress. I presume that your material is part of a dissertation or journal paper you're working on --- I wish you the best of luck in getting it accepted, and look forward to your future contributions here. Hope for your understanding. Thanks and regards, cab (talk) 16:36, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
