I moved the following from the article, because it reads like an excerpt from a HK Tourist Board brochure, meaning it's not encyclopedic and is probably copyrighted. [[User:Vicki Rosenzweig|Vicki Rosenzweig]] 17:39 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)

:The first one is a Motion Simulator. While the latter is the first computer-operated entertainment ride in Hong Kong, and is a "train journey" through scenes of the Hong Kong's early history.
Somehow this sentence in the Peak Tower section seems to be out of place. Probably an orphan left behind by some copy editors. [[User:Kowloonese|Kowloonese]] 01:16, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

:The most special food may be the Japanese-style pancakes of “Ice-Queen” because this kind of pancake is served in a few places only and it is one of the most popular snacks and desserts in Hong Kong.
Are these Japanese-style pancakes the same as the crepes found on the streets of Tokyo? If it is, then it is a fad copied from Paris. [[User:Kowloonese|Kowloonese]] 01:21, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
== Picture addition ==
A night time view would be nice. [[User:Skinnyweed|Skinnyweed]] 00:17, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
== Victoria "Peak" ==
In this context, does peak only mean "tip of the mountain"? Or does it refer to the entire mountain? I'm asking because the Chinese term, 太平山頂, means "Tai Ping Shan Tip". But I always thought of Victoria Peak as the entire geological formation rather than just the summit. --[[User:Tesscass|tess]] 23:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Exactly, you have pointed out a good point. Victoria Peak refers only to the mountain, NOT its peak alone. In traditional chinese, it should be "太平山" or its older and kinkier name "扯旗山" (which literally translates to "Flag Raising" and in turn transliterated as a Cantonese slang literally meaning "gettting a woody"/"getting a hard-on"/"getting a stiffie"/"being stiff"/"getting penis erection.")<br />
::Thus, the Peak should actually be "The Peak of Victoria Peak" hahahaha XD lol. The mountain should therefore be simply called "太平山"/"扯旗山" only.
::The mountain was just stupidly and tediusly named; that's all; I don't blame anyone for confusing that fact for I've only JUST noticed.<br />
::I'll correct the much-deserved error NOW!! hehehe :P.<br />

I think the right way for writing the name is 太平顶山, not 太平山 <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/93.149.24.108|93.149.24.108]] ([[User talk:93.149.24.108#top|talk]]) 07:43, 8 June 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Have a source? And, by the way, it's Hong Kong, where traditional characters are the official language, so 頂, not 顶. [[user:sirlanz|sirlanz]] 08:10, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
== Lead picture ==
I think the night time panorama is stunning - but it doesn't actually show the peak (only a view from the peak). Is there a suitable photo which depicts the peak itself? [[User:Pstuart84|Pstuart84]] <small>[[User talk:Pstuart84|Talk]]</small> 16:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
::This article is confused; "Victoria Peak" is the entire mountain while "the Peak" should literally be the "Peak of Victoria Peak".
::However, this article seems to be conveying details of "The Peak" but not so much the mountain rane itself. Someone needs to sort this out...

== Changed lead picture ==
The lead picture should show what the article is about, in this case Victoria Peak, not Hong Kong. It is a good picture so I replace one below.[[User:User-duck|User-duck]] ([[User talk:User-duck|talk]]) 08:25, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
==Suggest Switch to HK English==
Since this article is related to HK, I suggest switching the note to editors to say "use [[Hong Kong English]]", rather than EngvarB. [[User:Kdm852|Kdm852]] ([[User talk:Kdm852|talk]]) 09:37, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
:Would you care to justify that by demonstrating any aspect of the article as it appears so far which would transgress Hong Kong English norms if editors simply use British English? [[user:sirlanz|sirlanz]] 10:05, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
== Too much promotion isn’t ? ==
—> Residential Area
—> Changes in Neighbourhood
These two new added has talked too much about prices which is not needed and related to the introduction of the Victoria Peak.
I suggest those to be deleted. [[User:Shanpeak|Shanpeak]] ([[User talk:Shanpeak|talk]]) 16:31, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Agree, it should be removed because it is not necessary [[User:SerayIlolo|SerayIlolo]] ([[User talk:SerayIlolo|talk]]) 16:57, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
