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.

Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Rumors

This article uses the word "rumor" way too much. If no citations are given for all of the sentences using this word are not given in the next couple of days, I will delete the lot of them. --Ghostexorcist 06:17, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

• I've added sources where possible and re-worded / removed where not. Gram123 08:44, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Xu Jiao

Her Chinese name is 徐嬌 or in Pinyin xú jiāo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.102.121.170 (talk) 13:21, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite?

We have a lot more information on this film now, it's even out in Hong Kong. I think a rewrite is in order, anyone agree?NiGHTS into Dreams... (talk) 02:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree someone needs to rewrite the plot rather then having 4 points of rumours. RiseDarthVader (talk) 01:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Sunny" by Boney M.

Does anyone here who knows how to add one of this prominent film soundtrack inside that article? 218.208.227.136 (talk) 19:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Critical Reception

I've never been a big fan of using review "aggregators" such as Rotten Tomatoes on film articles in Wikipedia - I don't think it adds an awful lot to an article, and they don't necessarily agree with one another due to varying sources - however I do understand why people like to use them. I notice on this article that the Rotten Tomatoes scores for Shaolin Soccer (90%) and Kung Fu Hustle (89%) have been cited, to show how CJ7 (45%) didn't fare anywhere near as well in reviews as those two films.

However, the same comparisons have not been afforded to the other aggregator mentioned, Metacritic. On the Metacritic site, the scores for Chow's previous two films are notably lower (68/100 and 78/100 respectively) and their current score for CJ7 is higher (55/100), making the differences between the reviews (and therefore the implied quality of the films) seem distinctly less substantial.

Using only one set of aggregate comparisons (either one) could be seen as selection bias. On Rotten Tomatoes, the gulf in % scores between Shaolin Soccer and CJ7 is a quite sensational 45%. On Metacritic it is a meagre 13%. I suggest that we use neither aggregator, or if we must, then both / all (and I guess any other 'approved' aggregators). Gram123 (talk) 16:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
