2461:"maiden names". Women don't change their names when they get married. And the child usually but not always takes the father's family name but even this is not universal. Sometimes one partner is famous and the other not, sometimes the dad of the mother says, "You can marry but we are the last Tongs, so any child has to have our family name", sometimes who knows. But there is no universal rule and no stigma attached to a family's choice. Making this into a Communist Party-baiting exercise is irrational and NPOV. Since there are 451:- 400KB download, retrieved 20 April 2007. University of Technology Sydney News, 8-21 October 2001, p4 Report by Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Dr Tony Mitchell, who lectures in Hong Kong cinema, states: "In her early 30s, Faye Wong has been compared to Madonna and is as popular in mainland China and Taiwan, where she is a gay icon, as she is in Hong Kong. Like most Cantopop singers, she looks like a model and wears vampy clothes on stage." 1095: 31: 2229: 2209: 2080: 2066: 2056: 2185: 2161: 2145: 2135: 2111: 2101: 2029: 2015: 1570:

like saying "The Shining" is the greatest movie ever and would everyone agree? No. Faye was and still is very popular in the industry, but such a statement suggests that nobody has successfully competed with her. I'm not sure about album sales, but I'm sure when her albums released she had some sort of competition with other artists. Anyway, I think it should be changed to add "one of the most..."

2797: 2195: 391:, and also dated someone before she was famous. All of whom were men. So, it's clear she is not gay. During the years of 1994-1995, she sported a haircut that many thought that she was gay. She had a boys haircut, sort of. I just like to think of it as really short hair, if you ask me. You can see this haircut in many pictures, or you can just go watch the film 2437: 2405: 2375: 1569:

The statement really is very specific. It suggests that Faye Wong is pretty much the most popular singer above all singers in recent Chinese music with no exceptions and that this is a common belief within the industry. I think alot of Faye fans would probably agree with such a statement, but this is

1548:

01:51, 21 November 2006 (UTC) I would like to see some evidence for the claim that she is "Widely considered the most commercially and artistically distinguished female vocalist in recent Chinese music history". Obviously this depends how you define recent, but as a Hong Kong resident, my impression

1186:

16:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC) I removed the stub tag from Only Love Strangers, as it should be okay now. We should now concentrate on the Scenic Tour one now. 1998 was the year she was interviewed by CNN, but I don't know much information about that. I've seen the interview, but I don't have a date as to

270:

She recorded three albums before the album "Shirley Wong". The rough translations of these albums are, "Where Does the Wind Come From?", "Faye Wong Collection", and "The Longing For Home. All of which were recorded within the years of 1985-1989. I don't know exact dates as to when they were recorded,

1517:

Ya, now that I looked it over, it is a little tedious. I probably shouldn't have made the suggestion to subsection it even more earlier. Now I think it's better grouping stuff together inside her Music Career in bigger sections separated by years (i.e. 1968-1989, 1994-1999 etc). How does that sound?

1215:

I agree, let's do it. I'll be happy to help. Do you have another source for the world record? Guinness World Records have changed their site, and it now features only a selection of the 40,000 records in the Guinness World Records database -- not including Cantopop. I guess we can still refer to

737:

Basically find soundclips online to make sure she sang the songs you'd like to include. Like Heart of Glass we can verify she sang since it's on her most recent concert CD. So the songs that weren't released officially either on CD/DVD/VCD/etc. should be checked to see if she actually sang them. The

536:

I was reading the last Other section in the article. It says "Her eyeglasses prescription is 400 degrees." -- notwithstanding that I don't think this is very relevant... how on Earth can a prescription be 400 degrees? It doesn't make mathematical sense, since angles wrap around from 360 degrees back

441:

is explained on its own page in Knowledge. This mentions various characteristics that may lead to a person being adopted as a gay icon. To quote from that page, Faye certainly meets the descriptions of "female musical stars, particularly those with powerful, emotive voices..." and "androgynous pop

2481:

I think this quote needs a source: "I’m lazy, never jogged for more than 2 days. I smoke, an act of damaging health. I’m straightforward, constantly offending others. I'm hot-tempered, not able to control my emotions. I’m impatient, especially with things not interesting to me. I feel confident and

1256:

The text of the Knowledge article is correct, "her manager confirmed that she might retire". The reference text is a direct quote of the headline given at the source page, which I think is normal practice for citations. However, you have a point, so I've moved the quote marks to indicate that "to

815:

Is it okay to post links to these clips though? Because if we can't post them and if it violates rules on Knowledge, what is the point to include them? How would we work around this though, if it's not allowed? What if someone asks about a particular song and wants it to be verified? Post a link to

395:

and you'll see. Because of that, and also her pixie (meaning very girly, playful, crazy, etc.) kind of personality, many gay people started to like her. There is legit sources which mention it, but I believe they are magazines or statistics that have this information. I'll say this, it's definitely

3049:

i have nominated this article for Good Article status. i originally rated it 'b' (for WPBiography) because it is frowned upon to rate articles higher than that without a more detailed review, and because the other ratings had it as 'b'. it seems to meet all of the criteria for GA status, and any

2772:

I think it would be worth mentioning more about the collaboration with the band Cocteau Twins, particularly the fact that the singer, Liz Fraser, does not sing in a particular language (or sings in a mixture of English and glossolalia). This meant the 'creation' of original lyrics by Faye and her

1803:

should not be used in the infobox. Essentially, album covers can illustrate the albums and screenshots can illustrate the video; however, since they're copyrighted they shouldn't be used to illustrate Faye Wong herself. I'll put a photo request on the talk page to see if a free image can hopefully

1769:

an important album for Faye Wong and would reflect the article well but perhaps it's just a matter of taste but I've never really liked the images of Faye for her Restless album, so again, maybe this is just reflecting my judgement. Maybe some alternate images could be posted here in the talk page

688:

I think I have an idea for you to find sources. Not only you find them by paper and computer, you also must find sound clips of songs. I'm not saying that we must insert sound clips into this article, but I'm telling you to take some samples and verify these songs she sang, especially in concerts.

254:

After the success of her first three Cantonese albums, she decided not to fit in the so-called "star formula" that was well-used in Hong Kong entertainment circle. From what I heard, she went to New York City WITHOUT telling anyone (maybe except a few, but NOT EVEN the press). True that it was for

2465:

Wangs in China (in the millions, it is one of the most common surnames), changing the family name to "escape persecution" seems far-fetched to me. Real far-fetched. In fact, more like some "we hate them commnists" John Birch-inspired fantasy. Unless her mom personally said that on tape, it's most

1892:

User 770 agreed to relicense the image, allowing me to upload it to Wikimedia Commons and use it here. Yes, I know some will say that it is a 3 year old image, that it does not look as good as a promotional image, etc. However, this is a free image, compatible with our goals, and according to our

466:

In the trivia section it states that her personal favorite song is "Kisses In The Wind", featured on her Coming Home album. However I believe this is untrue, because I've read interviews on wongfei.org where she states that it is "Angel". I don't have the source at hand but will try to find it as

1660:

I actually added the previous photo, and I saw nothing wrong with it. Her being "ugly" is simply only a matter of opinion and is not a good reason to change a photo over personal beliefs. However, I do agree with a rotation of the image every few months (say every three months?) just to keep the

1592:

I am a strong proponent of adding native text to article when it helps disambiguate transliteration differences. I spent most of my early wikipedian days mainly adding native text to title term of articles. On the opposite, I also dislike having unnecessary native text imbedded in the articles

94:

Unfortunately, as much as I don't listen to it much anymore, it is one of her most popular international songs. This song in particular is especially popular amongst non-Asians. The majority of them just know Faye for this song only. A shame really, but unfortunately it definitely has some truth

1321:

I've left it there so far as it includes some info I haven't seen on other pages, e.g. a longer list of Faye's favourite artists including Whitney Houston and Zhang Ya Dong (張亞東). If we can find another source for these that appears to be more original/reliable, then let's include that and drop

1355:

Well, there are only 10 references so far, and a lot of unsourced claims that can't be verified from CD sleeve notes. I think we should give much more evidence. If anyone needs to check the pattern for the Ref format that is now used in the article, click on the References section, as it is

720:

I think you're confused by my misleading passage. By rephrasing my words, instead of inserting sound clips into articles like this one, how about try to find samples online anywhere, listen to them, and verify whether her tributes in singing people's songs exist without inserting samples into

3008:

the spelling "flavor" was in the article with not "-our"s or "-ise"s, but is there a rationale for changing everything to British spelling? English isn't the first language of the majority of Hong Kongers, as far as I understand, and even if all Hong Kong articles used British spelling, this

211:

No, slight correction here. She started off her career in Hong Kong, singing mainly cover versions such as 'Fragile woman' which were immensely popular and established herself as a top female singer. However, it was the release Mystery and Sky that shot her to fame in Asia Pacific.

1813:

any luck on finding a photo that can be used? In time I'm sure someone has got to have taken a photo of Faye that they're willing to release the rights for the article. Unfortunately many of these phototakers are probably in Asia. perhaps we ought to ask in faye's asian fan sites?

1396:

article has links to external sites which include these. However, I've been thinking for some time that we should at least include the cover of Chang You (1998) as it was such an iconic image. One question first: are we sure there are no copyright problems over album art?

2658:

I think it's time to call for a wiki photo of Faye...lets see if we can get a more recent one on wiki commons. I think fan photos of her recent trip to Tibet would work really well. The current one is a few years dated and in my opinion, it does not nearly do her justice.

520:

which lists "Kisses in the Wind" as her favorite song. I wasn't sure of the translation of "喜爱歌曲" in the booklet, but right beside it said "Kisses in the Wind". So I figured "喜爱歌曲" meant favorite song and apparently I was correct! I'll re-add this to the article now.

148:

There is another song she did in Japanese called "Destiny", which is featured on a compilation disc called "Enchanting Kaler". It's a disc (of three in total) that feature music from her teenager years before the release of her first official album "Shirley Wong".

1823:

I just contacted a Flickr user ("770") who apparently took several during a concert, let's see if the user agrees with a license change (the current one does not allow commercial reuse, which makes it incompatible with Knowledge). You can see one of his pictures

1587:

I didn't realize there was a Knowledge style guide that says not to use Chinese characters if there is an article about the subject that already includes characters. Where is this style guide? That would certainly be something I should familiarize myself with...

738:

clips should not be included in the article though, since I believe it might violate some sort of thing around here. Eh, not sure how we could verify these without including links for reference to people who simply don't believe she did so and so song. --

553:

has an cylindrical axis orientation that is expressed in degrees that cannot exceed 360° in a full circle. The reference to 400 degree is just an Chinglish translation of 400 whatever unit that is corresponding to the -4.00 diopter in the prescription.

706:

I think the discographies are sufficient sources to write a factual article. If I had all the songs to listen to (and I do have most of them), that would mainly enable me to add "Point Of View" comments, but those do not belong on Knowledge anyway, see

1640:

How about a new picture on the article? The currently one displays her as ugly, and that's something she's not. C'mon, just look at it. Please find a new picture. I know it's hard with all that copyright mambo-jambo, but this one scares people away.

1559:

The three sources for this statement describe her wide appeal during the last 15 years. I guess I could've reworded it to be "one of the most..." although neither Ms. Teng or Ms. Mui wrote their own music. I'd like to hear what people suggest here.

1171:

As to where these sites get their information concerning certain things is a different story. There is numerous sources such as magazines, interviews, movies, and so on. I think I'd be difficult to get sources for everything on here, to be honest.

1478:

Another user has contacted me to say the article has too many subsections, and it ruins the article. I'm not sure I agree, but I do think the article looks worse since I rearranged it. The reason is that I introduced two new "level 2" headings,

698:

Sorry Gh87, I'm not sure what you are getting at. I was just trying to eliminate from the published tracklists, i.e. the concert CD tracklists, the songs that Faye had already sung on studio albums. I included three more at first that in fact

1626:. As a result, you can click on any of those characters to go to a page that gives its pronunciation and meaning. Do others think this is helpful, and should it be extended to other Chinese characters in the article, especially song titles? 1270:! I'd never even heard of that site before, but read about it on Knowledge while trying to research whether we can post links to YouTube. I didn't reach a conclusion on that. I noticed that someone has just added a YouTube link to 2522:

It's not made clear in the article how someone from Beijing could learn to speak Cantonese well enough to sing in it. It's not an easy language for non-Cantonese people to learn. Is it because her parents are Cantonese speakers?

1518:

We should only add personal life stuff in the music career section if there is evidence her music changed due to changes in her personal life, in my opinion. Any other information should still be in a separate section on its own.

250:

From what I've heard, her parents were very hard-workers, leaving her raised more likely by her neighbor. I don't know how to call it, but I think the relationship between Faye and her neighbor seemed as if they're daughter and

623:

we can also add special characteristics of Faye's concerts such as very little talking, no guests, no dancers, no encores, always ending with "Mortal World" (after that song came out), and the deep bow (~90 degrees) at the end

297:

It's not a re-release of her FIRST teenage album, but her SECOND teenage album. Some great pals who are good at translating things managed to scoop together what seems like a natural and accurate translation of the tracklist:

1299:

I don't feel we should link to VeryCD in the references, since that place is full of illegal activity. Haven't the people involved with this site rip and share Faye Wong's material and make it readily available as a torrent?

2482:

inferior, very contradictory. Facing my fans, I feel embarrassed. I’m not motivated, always thinking of vacations. I’m not obedient, even my parents don't know what to do with me. I’m not an idol, please don’t worship me."

406:

Yes, you can expect most Chinese gays aged 30 or below in the Asia region to at least have some idolation towards her. Its mainly due to her good fashion sense, quietly confident character and willingness to be different.

1487:, so all the other headings had to go down one level. Level 3 and 4 headings look too similar to each other. Level 3 and 5 look better in my opinion -- I tried it in two browsers; does anybody agree? See demo here: 1441:

We should reformat the stuff under "Alternative Experiments" so that each album there is contained in a separate subsection. In essence, it should in my opinion adhere to the format set under the "EMI Period" section.

255:

vocal studies, but also she wanted to explore herself by things, such as hanging around the streets, sampling the music, communication with others, etc. Meanwhile, she lived with her aunt in NYC for a short time.

1751:

I don't know whether the new link to a Russian fan site should stay at the end of the article, but the site does have some pictures that would be ideal if we could use them! Anybody know enough Russian to ask?

1079:

I suppose the name trivia can go. Maybe we could include the first "other" trivia (with her personal favorite song) within the article which mentions about "Coming Home". The rest I don't think are necessary.

2237:

I'm failing this article for GA status. Here are some things to fix before nominating again. References go immediately after the punctuation mark (Hi. instead of Hi. ). Don't link lone years. There are

2293:

Maybe we should consider cleaning up the talkpage alittle bit? Not sure how cleaning up talk pages work out, but I guess they are archived or something? I just think this page is getting alittle crowded.

1948:

As you can see, that section was tagged. We should discuss on what links should stay and which should be removed. Links which helped create the article should remain while the others should be removed.

375:

Are there sources to support this quote, "Not only openly admired by well-known celebrities around the world, she was also labeled as the gay icon among the gay community.". I had no idea she was gay?

2823:; a discussion will now take place over on Commons about whether to remove the file. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion, although please review Commons guidelines before doing so. 2600:

Alot of these sites were used as references to the content in this article. As to what was used for what I don't know, but I'm pretty sure someone posted those particular details before somewhere.

763:

definitely include them all on the CD of the concert because it would be a selling point. Then again, the song list would have changed a bit during a long tour like 1998. So, prove me wrong!

281:

I have an album issued in 2004 as "Faye Wong Collector's Album" (printed only in Mandarin) which claims to be a re-issue of her first album made when she was 16. Info here, again in Mandarin:

1243:

I don't like the third one, where it says Faye quits for love. There is no solid proof she quit or anything. She's on a break from singing for awhile, I believe. Maybe it should be reworded?

3050:

additional improvements will likely need to be suggested by those more familiar with the topic (i am merely looking for technical criteria such as formatting, citations, infoboxes, etc.) --

2430:

Adopting her mother's maiden name because the Wang family was persecuted during the Cultural Revolution (her grandfather was a Republic of China congressman when it governed the mainland).

1674:. You don't really get a good look of what she looks like with this one. Her back is turned to the camera, only shows half of her face... maybe appropriate for a character profile in the 227:

She had a first date in her teenage years, which the Chinese rule forbade children from talking about love. I don't know enough about their relationship, including the time they broke up.

1412:

How can we add covers for her other albums when the article isn't exactly coherent? It seems that it's kind of split into two. I like the idea of splitting the years up as was done with

3500: 1508:

So, I propose to re-order the article as it was, mixing music career with personal life. All the headings in both these sections will become one step more major. Do others agree?

415:

My first thought reading it was like, "She's gay?!" Someone should reword it to "gay fashion icon" instead of "gay icon" which usually denotes the icon being gay herself/himself.

230:

The article said her first three Cantonese albums did "little attention". From what I've heard, they sold well and then led her to fame before her tour in New York and her album

1828:. An advice: don't try to contact him for other images, as I have already seen some Flickr users who felt too much "pressure" and just "disappeared". Now, we can just wait. -- 1152:

We should start with listing sources where this information has come from. I suppose most of it is from Faye Wong websites. I've got my information from the following websites:

2242:

sections of uncited text. The image in the infobox is replaceable and should be moved to an appropriate section or deleted all together. All of the copyrighted images need

1601: 1468:

Spurred by Gh87's insertion of a "wikify" tag, I also rearranged the article, separating personal life from music career. Somebody else quickly removed the tag anyway.

1968:

Yeah, I didn't tag it. I figured they all pertained to the article and just wanted to make sure. If there is nothing else to add, then I guess we should remove the tag.

1698:

An idea would be to find photos which her fans took during promotions or concerts and have the authors release their rights on Knowledge for this article to use them.

220:

I read the Early Years section, and it seems that it needed some changes for that section by questions and/or comments based on facts and opinions shown everywhere:

759:

in the air for info about extra songs that weren't on the CDs. I had thought that if Faye sang special songs that weren't on her studio albums, the record company

1345:

Are we ready to remove the tags on the top of the article or should more work be done to clean things up? I just finished cleaning up the intro to be more neutral

3784: 3780: 3766: 3640: 3636: 3622: 3412: 3408: 3394: 3282: 3278: 3264: 3142: 3138: 3124: 2940: 2936: 2922: 2250:. There doesn't appear to be any reason to need to know her eyeglass prescription; move any relevant information to the appropriate place and delete the rest. 1593:

because it disrupts the flow of reading. I wrote more of my opinion on this matter on my user page. I am also interested in a link to the style guide if any.

2304:

Good idea. Easily done - just add /Archive_01 (or whatever) at the end of the URL to create a subpage. I've moved what I judged to be completed discussions to

album since I think the front cover image for that album is her most popular one, isn't it? I guess maybe it's just a matter of opinion on that one though.

1529:

Thanks for that. I've restructured it again and it seems much better. However, I haven't taken any personal stuff out of the section on music career.

2803: 1289:

link to YouTube videos in our Refs. However, I don't see why we couldn't give some search criteria that help to locate relevant evidence on YouTube.

358:

Is it "just" me, or "are" there too many "quotation" marks in "this" passage? Not "that" I think it's implying "anything", but "it's" really annoying.

187:

for writing a few Mandarin songs entitled "No Regrets" and "Tempted Heart" or something else that made her well-known in those areas way before 1994?--

3360: 806:

For now I'm proposing to include in the table just a short list based on the track lists of the concert CDs. Anyone can change it later of course.

I plan on revising the article in the next few weeks. There are some good sections but most of it is bad and all over the place. Some major goals:

artists". At any rate she appeared androgynous in the film Chungking Express. So, there's no need to change the wording to "gay fashion icon."

3568: 418: 2413:- not that it connects this to her movie roles. It only refers to Taiwan, so I've changed the article accordingly. I'll add the quotation to the 287:. Google seems to do a better job than babelfish.altavista at translating the track names; Babelfish translates Wong Fei as "King Phillipines"! 2502: 3742: 3504: 3598: 1850:

I find it abit blurry and low-quality like. I think we also need a picture of JUST Faye Wong in it, nobody else with her, beside her, etc.

I'd like the community to help us list the parts of this article that still need to be sourced, in order to increase its verifibility.
