I believe most editors use Incorrect English, the second most common is American English, followed by Indian English and British English. -- Arnd Bergmann
Unfortunate edit about no "legendary"Hi, Bgwhite, FYI John Wayne as well as Bruce Lee Legacy, acting style and influences are in full display in respective articles. Please take into consideration the 45 years of Yam Kim-fai and 55 years of Loong Kin Sang already on stage, some more years to come should Loong Kin Sang, the contemporary tier one top-ranked box-office guarantee, choose to. Yam Kim-fai has been a Legend in Cantonese Opera world for close to a century and opened doors for, at least five generations and counting, actresses now to be male leads on stage. Actresses are still dominating even 25 years after her passing. Cantonese Opera Film Century Award, 14th Hong Kong Film Awards was an honor awarded to Yam Kim-fai and accepted by Loong Kin Sang on her behalf in 1995. Google (HK) commemorated the 103th anniversary of Yam Kim-fai's birthday on February 04, 2016 Google Doodle 103rd-birthday Yam Kim-fai Google Doodle shows off 1960's LGBT icon: Cantonese opera legend Yam Kim-fai SCMP updated 04 February, 2016. Loong Kin Sang is the single successor to her mentor's acting style, a "secret" recipe to success that has never been disclosed beyond the one single room in Yam's former home. Her move since turning 70 in 2014 is more than the world of Cantonese Opera could ever hoped for. Those are historically significant performances you removed in such edit. Theyear by year tour information I can find in the article of Madonna who was born only in 1958, just two years before Loong Kin Sang first on stage. For a 55-year veteran performer on stage, Loong Kin Sang has only very few of the huge list of awards and achievements listed. Such awards/achievements were listed with references as per Wikipedia requests. While a pop-singer is receipted world wide and Cantonese opera is mostly a Chinese Art form. I trust the historically significant events listed there are never less important or essential. "Please help to establish notability by citing..." Revision History of this page Loong Kin Sang Loong Kin Sang was called a Legend by the Press in 1990 already when she received the award as well as opening door for Cantonese opera tour to Caesars Palace of Las Vegas in 1982. Your edit removed such historically significant information as well, unfortunately.207.102.255.36 (talk) 18:59, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
1. Please clarify what request you were referring to in your comment below. "You know you have been on Wikipedia too long when you start recognizing names... I've come across the ..., plus I understood Chinese opera in a request today. I need to get a life." 2. Your reply below refers. "I removed the awards sections as there references were to a blog. " Please explain which blog. the only link is to the official award authority That is - 任藝笙輝念濃情 IFPI HKG 2015 List of Best Sales Releases, Classical and Operatic Works Recording (Order in Chinese Stroke Counts). "A more reliable reference is needed." Please suggest one more reliable than the one organization actually gave Loong the award. 3. In order for the phrases to be included, there must be a reliable reference that mentions Loong was a "legend". According to your quote above, you removed is a famous Cantonese opera performer, known as the legendary Yam Kim Fai's protégée & successor The current version actually reads is a Cantonese opera performer, known as Yam Kim Fai's protégée and successor. My understanding is you removed actually:
I have covered Yam Kim Fai already. For Loong as 'famous', please refer to the two reports from local press. http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/entertainment/20151227/bkn-20151227144840017-1227_00862_001.html - Original Ref 13 阿刨率新人演《紫釵記》 劇迷讚不老傳說 【on.cc東網專訊】 Looking perfect as lovers on stage opposite new young talents.207.102.255.36 (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC) http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/entertainment/20160101/bkn-20160101152050007-0101_00862_001.html - Original Ref 14 《紫釵記》全劇 阿刨演繹師父任劍輝派功夫,儼如師父上身般 【on.cc東網專訊】 As if the Legendary Cantonese opera master back alive on stage.207.102.255.36 (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC) Both started with 粵劇名伶龍劍笙(阿刨). My translation is 粵劇Cantonese opera 名famous 伶performer 龍Lung 劍Kim 笙Sang (阿Ah 刨Pau). Bing the 粵劇名伶龍劍笙(阿刨) to see how popular that phase is and you will get a few more. [1] gives all those pages online with such wording. 4. Look at the TV Schedule referred. You will see at 18:20 舞台下的龍劍笙 - the name of programme in Chinese. 龍劍笙 is the Chinese name of Loong Kim Sang of Wikipedia. 5. With all due respect, Kwan Hoi-san was a respected member of Cantonese Opera community by seniority as in age not fame. He worked for the legendary Yam Kim Fai in 1940s when Yam's troupe was in Macau, then a colony of Portugal. Kwan was NOT famous until in 1975 TV production "The Legend of the Book and the Sword" (1976) which is also the first line of his Filmography. 6. So much more to explain to you while life is short. What you removed was the work of many editors over a few years in under various environment. That is very unfortunate if you did not understand Cantonese Opera. Difference between Cantonese opera and Chinese opera is way beyond my ability to start explaining to you as well.207.102.255.36 (talk) 17:58, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

However, I trust you can still read the edit history of zh:龍劍笙. So, please look where you go regarding this topic of Cantonese opera and more specifically this actress.207.102.255.36 (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
I am sure you have a life to live and now understand you took too much of my time to finish the zh:龍劍笙 for reasons or circumstances beyond what you has answered so far. Articles you so far suggested are either 1. with all due respect a washed-up, mean but true description, performer 2. not related to Cantonese opera 3. my work for the last three weeks on this particular subject but only 60% complete at best Loong made four movies in her life so far. They all have over $1m box-office on record out-there. Her 1976 movie was definitely on the top ten list and box-office was over $3m. Totally FOUR opera movie was made ever since the collapse in 1969-70 of such. Loong was the male lead for three of these four while Kwan left Cantonese opera and started to work for TV productions. One was on the rise since 1972 and best reflected in the charitable event raising fund for the tragedy happened in June 18, (618) 1972. The who's who in such event were always the best reflection of their status. Loong was there playing second fiddle to mentor Yam, in a bright yellow turtle neck pull over and navy blue skirt, and leading the 5 classmates all singing back up at the back. That picture is ICONIC both for Cantonese opera and the Hong Kong in 1970s. That's how Loong was introduced to the wider audience by modern technology. People said that one should stop digging when in a hole. Not sure where it came from but sounds very wise to me. Meanwhile, I have lots more in my head to add be included in the zh:龍劍笙 you referred to.207.102.255.36 (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" Babies have been thrown out with the YET TO BE identified bathwater. Two weeks already and still no answer at all to questions raised as to the logic and the reasoning as justifications for such allegations and accusations.207.102.255.36 (talk) 18:36, 8 June 2016 (UTC) Break207.102.255.36 Either you are not understanding me or your ignoring me... I'm not disagreeing with you about Loong's status as an Opera performer. I'm not disagreeing with you that she is legendary. This has nothing to do about Loong herself. This is about how to do an article on Wikipedia. We cannot go around saying "legendary" without a reference to back it up. We don't go around saying "legendary" in every paragraph. We are to be neutral and just give the facts. If a reference says she was "legendary" then make sure to use a reference to source that she is legendary. As I mentioned before on the John Wayne and Bruce Lee articles, both have "legendary" once in the article and it is referenced. This needs to happen in Loong's article. Your English is not the best. That is fine, but there are parts of the article that doesn't make sense in English. I'm trying to edit some of those parts so they are more understandable. Again, look at the articles Zhou Xinfang, Ouyang Yuqian and Kwan Hoi-san. This has nothing to do how they were as performers or how they compare to Loong. This has to do on how the articles are written. These are examples of opera performers who have good articles. Use these as a guide on how to write Loong's article. Look at zh:龍劍笙. This is has more information on Loong that might be used on the English article. It also has references.

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:20, 9 June 2016 (UTC) Template:BotsI have read the instructions and there is nothing that I can see that says this was an illegal addition. The code was added because you and BG19bot repeatedly caused errors in the infobox. I can understand you making an error the first time, but it happened three times,[7][8][9] requiring both Kindros and I to have to fix those errors. An error once is understandable, but the same error three times is unacceptable. You've blamed AWB, but ultimately the editor is responsible for edits made using AWB. Your fix, to remove the ref, was not appropriate in this case, it should have been commented out at the worst, as the url used was valid, it was wiki software that couldn't parse the url. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:22, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello Bgwhite, I had fixed that reference not realizing that it was a source that mirrored a wiki article, Monaco succession crisis of 1918. I have no sources for that title and have no special interest there since what I cover mostly are early Middle Age people from the Iberian Peninsula and if you check my contributions, you'll see that I am very meticulous about adding reliable sources and references. As you can see in this edit from April, I removed what I saw was clear manipulation, trying to insert himself as the current title holder. He has done this in many of the other articles which had to be fixed or deleted. I think he is intent on this and see no other worthwhile contribution to this or any other wiki project since he has a one-track mind and purpose. While I'm not the one to say who should be allowed to participate here, if he continues editing it will be necessary to monitor each and every contribution he makes. Do what you think is best for the project. Best regards, --Maragm (talk) 05:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
For @Kuru:'s information, here's the diff of when I reported him in April. Besides adding unreliable and/or primary sources, in some cases he manipulates the source to state what it does not. I'm not the only one who has complained or reverted his edits. Re this particular title, I would revert to the version before he started editing the article, such as this one. I cannot help out since I have no references or knowledge about this particular title. --Maragm (talk) 07:11, 10 June 2016 (UTC) Thanks for writing. I'll try to solve the issue with the Table of Contents (TOC). I find it odd to have two history related sections ("History" and "A Brief History of Inter-Collegiate Fleet Racing") in the article, so I'm trying to improve the sections.--Banderas (talk) 08:46, 11 June 2016 (UTC) Banderas Boy, it looks alot better now than before you arrived.

A Kafka storyor: the unwanted content Once upon a time, a dear fellow editor PS asked me if I would join his efforts to improve Franz Kafka. I helped, working mainly on the things requiring knowledge of German, such as the works list. Too make it short, eventually the article became a FA, but only without the works list, which seemed too long. PS parked it on the Franz Kafka bibliography, where I thought it didn't fit well, also didn't want to disturb the work others had done on that article. So I created a separate article, Franz Kafka works, which merrily graced the Main page (DYK) when Kafka was TFA (the most successful ever so far, thanks to the google doodle that day). Last year, a merge was requested with the bibliography. Yesterday, it was "merged", - again plastered at the end of the other. The unwanted content. I miss PS more than the article, of course. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:58, 21 June 2016 (UTC) Reference errors on 22 June
