Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Other Names

I have never heard of CYF referred to as "Li Gong". I'm removing this and someone can put it back if it is sourced. Sockbot 05:23, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where you saw that, but Li Gong (aka Gong Li) is the name of a Chinese actress, his co-star in Curse of the Golden Flower. So maybe you misread it. 24.6.99.30 19:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] War at Red Cliffs

It's official! Chow Yun-Fat will be playing Liu Bei! Now, someone find a reliable source before we post it in his filmography. :-)

According to Bey Logan on the Hard Boiled DVD, he dropped out of it. I don't know when that commentary was made however, so take that as you will. Raven6248 19:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Change the Curse of the Golden Flower (2006) image, someone. Why don't Wiki editors realise the whole point of placing an image on a page is to SHOW PEOPLE WHO THE PAGE DISCUSSES. What's the idea of using a picture of someone in several layers of disguise? Mr.bonus 20:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. It's a terrible picture. Bombot 09:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Not only that, but it also dominates the page to the extent of making it hard to read.129.22.163.194 00:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Do we have an image of him not in the movies? What's the point of putting his image up of him playing in The pirates of Caribbean when he has hair and doesn't have moustache naturally? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 07:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Censored in Pirates of the Carribean

I have heard that Chow had said two against beijing officials publicly in the past. First is that he gave Tung Chee Hwa hard times when he voiced against his poor management of the HK tourism industry since the 1997 handover. The other is that he voiced against certain sports gambling in HK since the 1997 handover. Supposedly prior to 97, UK kept HK pretty clean. I don't know the whole detail on this one. While I cannot find the exact sources to tie, this censorship maybe more than what it seems. Possibly mainland officials are flexing their censorship muscle to mess with him.

[edit] Spelling

I have also seen his name as "Chou Yun Fat" -- is there any way to mention that so that searches will pick it up? Or does it have to be by disambiguation page? Monado (talk) 07:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

There's already a re-direct from Chou Yun-Fat to here and I don't really see a need to add mention of it in the article.Xyex (talk) 07:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roshi in Dragonball

Chow's signed on to play Roshi in the live action Dragonball movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.Xyex (talk) 07:50, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
