8 June 2022
- 06:1606:16, 8 June 2022 diff hist −89 Taiping Rebellion Edited the first sentence of the 'Origins' section. This section had said that "famine, natural disasters, economic problems and defeats at the hands of foreign powers" came to be known at China's "century of humiliations". This is misleading: only humiliations at the hands of foreign powers were/are part of the century of humiliations; famine, natural disasters and economic problems (where self-inflicted rather than caused by foreign agents/wars) are nothing to do with it.

- 14:4814:48, 12 May 2022 diff hist −71 Hong Kong Royal Instructions Removed 1922 Additional Instructions. The idea of a (10th January) 1922 amendment appears to come from a mistake in the publication 'Letters Patent & Royal Instructions to the Governor of Hong Kong' published by the (British) Colonial Office in 1946. No such set of amendments exists. current Tag: Visual edit
