Surname

[edit]

if his father was a gwai lo, why is his surname wong? - Chinoiserie 15:25, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Either he adopted his mom's (or perhaps stepfather's, if any) surname, or it's just a stage name. — Instantnood 11:59, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Kids

[edit]

He should have three kids instead of two. Live! 01:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:AnthonyWongChauSang.jpg

[edit]

Image:AnthonyWongChauSang.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Requested multi-move (2013)

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. WP:NC-ZH says "The encyclopedia should use the name more familiar to most English readers", and natural disambiguation is preferable only if it doesn't result in an obscure name. Miniapolis 20:26, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]



– Should we use natural names over parenthetical ones? While parenthetical ones may be helpful due to the disambiguation page, I am not sure how policies and guidelines, like WP:NC-ZH, deal with Chinese names of people, especially ones from Hong Kong. Moreover, if not for the AutoComplete, I would simply type in just "Anthony Wong" and then find the dab page. Then I would click either the HK actor or singer. As for the Australian actor, recently I found out that he is adding "Brandon" as a middle name in the credits of Hawaii Five-0. Shall we treat this situation the same as people named Tony Leung or Keith Chan, or shall we treat this differently from these situations? If I hear comments about hatnotes and disambiguations, I must say that anybody can remove hatnotes and/or edit dab pages. Relisted.

Birthplace

[edit]

In the Background information section it says he was born in (British) Hong Kong; in the Early life section it says he suffered discrimination for being born outside Hong Kong. They can't both be right... CulturalSnow (talk) 00:40, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
