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] Text removal

The following text was moved from the article: olivier 10:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC) "1271205K*OG (The data is incomplete, thus containing errors.)"

[edit] First bigtime artist?

Someone informed me that a person by the name of Gong Wang (江橫) sang the music for the film The Kingdom and the Beauty (江山美人)? I cannot find anything on this person. But if this is true. This person may be the very FIRST famous Huangmei singer in Hong Kong that everybody forgot. Benjwong 04:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hubei?

The Huangmei County article says that it came from Huangmei County, Hubei, near Anhui. If accurate, this should be added to the article. Badagnani 18:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Language

It should be added what language(s) it is sung in. It's sung in Mandarin on the video clips I've seen, but is it also sung in Cantonese or other dialects? Badagnani 18:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Instruments

Many of the recent huangmei clips on YouTube feature synthesizer accompaniment instead of traditional Chinese instruments. This should be noted in the article. Badagnani 18:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Synthesizer?? That sounds far too modern for this art. Benjwong 03:05, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, whatever the case, do a search for huangmei (using English or Chinese characters) and you'll see what I'm talking about. Badagnani 03:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
