| This article was promoted to FA status way back in 2005, almost 15 years ago now as of 2020. Since then, the article has gone through many changes that has diminished its status as a FA, or even as a GA. It's too cluttered, contains outdated or unsourced information, and formatting issues at some sections. Not to mention the controversies section which contains material bordering on ] and ] from ] sources. The talk page over the past few years is mostly dead with bots notifying of copyrighted images being removed or modifying external links. ] (]) 00:21, 21 October 2020 (UTC) | |||

Spinning off the section Modified Initial System according to summary style
The previous edits to spin off #Modified Initial System as its own article (and to expand with more, encyclopaedic details; considering the length of this main article, and, the existing practice for other sections) and to downsize that section according to summary style had met with unexplained edit warring and extensive simple vandalism/overdone reverts by Citobun, among others. No discussion had ever been launched on either talk pages (neither here nor Talk:Modified Initial System). Please state here your concern and valid reason to oppose such an operation, if there's any. Otherwise Misplaced Pages:BOLD will be adhered to and all such disruptive edits will be reported. Thanks. 219.73.29.243 (talk) 02:25, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- I didn't carry out any vandalism. Please do not make false accusations. I don't think splitting off Modified Initial System is necessary unless you intend to significantly expand the coverage of that subject. Secondly you need to stop adding links to a so-called "Harbour Crossing Tunnel" unless you can provide evidence that this is a well-established name, as I have asked of you repeatedly – per WP:BURDEN. I also don't understand why you keep adding circular redirects to this nonexistent article. Citobun (talk) 06:13, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
- BTW I already suggested the alternative names "Tsuen Wan Line immersed tube" or "Modified Initial System immersed tube" since "Harbour Crossing Tunnel" is not an official name nor is it widely used. It also looks clumsy and ungrammatical. Citobun (talk) 06:18, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
- I would concur but these are like neologisms invented by the Wikipedian community. The existing name appears at least in scholastic publications. 124.217.188.171 (talk) 06:38, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

- Where did you find these names? 220.246.91.139 (talk) 05:52, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- I went through the edit history and found that you actually did.

- Given your precondition has been fulfilled there's so far clear consensus to spin off the section. On the other hand it isn't uncommon for former lines of rapid transit system to have their own articles, e.g., Branch MRT Line of Singapore, the District Railway in London or the IRT Trunk Line and the Fulton Street Line in the NYC. 124.217.188.171 (talk) 07:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

The expanded article
Now that while there's no longer by logical deduction any opposition towards spinning off the section MTR § MIS and given the spun-off article has been considerably expanded JalenFolf has gone way further to argue not even the redirect is printworthy and removed the R with possibilities tag. The page has also been locked upon their request. They've also proceeded to de-link the redirect to the article section MTR § MIS from as many as ten articles which amounted to disrupting Misplaced Pages to illustrate a point. The question would be that whether such disruptions (including, but not limited to Citobun's blanket reverts mentioned above) should be tolerated, and whether the new materials in the expanded article should be incorporated for the being under the MTR § MIS section or should that expanded article be restored. 124.217.188.171 (talk) 11:39, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- I did wonder why JalenFolf had removed the link to the MIS section of the MTR article from the Wilfrid Newton article. Also 124.217.188.171, I recommend you sign up for an actual wikipedia account. Turini2 (talk) 12:46, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Are those edits reverted already? 203.218.155.184 (talk) 11:14, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Please stop jumping from IP to IP, it makes this discussion extremely hard to follow and probably constitutes Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppetry. Citobun (talk) 05:06, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? 203.218.155.184 (talk) 08:43, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- Please stop jumping from IP to IP, it makes this discussion extremely hard to follow and probably constitutes Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppetry. Citobun (talk) 05:06, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Art culture inspired by MTR
Hi, I believe we should also touch the topic of Mosaic Tiles in each MTR station (and provide local photos) as it plays a significant role on some of the artworks and inspiration for artists. We should also touch base on other temporary art exhibition in the MTR station.
