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] Her real name

The English name she used before joining the ShowBiz was "Vivian" (or "Vivien"?), according to the press. — Instantnood 05:57, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

However, her generally accepted English name is now Kelly, so her previous name is unimportant. King 05:05, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

This article says her birth name was Viven. Does anyone know if that is true? I would like to see where that came from.--Haley 19:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Korean?

She doesn't speak Korean fluently. I have a recent audioclip in which she says so herself. She knows a line or two but she definitely does NOT speak Korean FLUENTLY as stated in the article.

I cut it for you. NSilter 15:33, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

Do you think the Japanese page is a better model for this page? Japanese version It looks like this discography doesn't go back very far. NSilter 01:02, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I've expanded the discography from Kelly's official site. However, the Chinese official titles are not listed. I will do some research and try to find them.--Haley 19:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, according to the Japanese page, she only speaks a little Japanese:

• 高校時代は日本（神戸）に住んでいたこともあり、日本語が少し話せる。

The Chinese page doesn't discuss what languages she speaks. The German and Indonesian pages seem to be influenced by this page. NSilter 23:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

She's said in interviews (I don't have the source for them because they were from a few years back) that she had forgotten most of the Japanese she learned during her stay in Japan (also remember that she had attended an English-speaking International school, further reducing the amount of exposure she had to the language), and that she had to relearn the language when she took up her role in "Oni no Sumika".

[edit] Totally necessary?

Is the first thing you mention have to be how she weighs and how tall? Even for other models, they do not have that until farther down in the article! --WongFeiHung 21:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Ditto - bloodtype?! 134.36.100.168 15:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discography?

What happened to Kelly's discography? It was basically complete several months ago. I would like to know why it was removed and replaced with such an incomplete list. I will try and rebuild it, but I do not have the Chinese titles for the albums. Haley 06:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I've expanded the discography & added Chinese titles from Kelly's official site. --Haley 20:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date of Birth

It was a fuss in HK about her date of birth in Aug 2006. Though she said she never claimed to be born in 1973, people actually uploaded her recorded interview and refute her saying. Anyway, it was reported that she admitted being born in 1972, NOT 1973. I got no official source for that but interested may reference the following links: http://hk.knowledge.yahoo.com/question/?qid=7006110603080 and http://www.singtaonet.com:82/star/t20060812_299163.htmlTomlee2060 09:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Exactly! I was shot down in the main page when I added that there was some disagreement about her year of birth. But ah well, I'm not a fan of her anymore now, though I just watched Lost and Found recently. Sehsuan

I'm still a fan of hers, but I don't like lip synch in concerts (the last one on DVD), and misleading about her age doesn't seem necessary... NSilter

[edit] Cantonese name transcription should be 'can'

For the person that changed the Cantonese transcription back to 'chan', this is wrong. The initial 'ch' does not exist in Jyutping. Please see Jyutping#Initials or look up the character in any Cantonese dictionary that has Jyutping transcription. It should therefor be 'can', being /tsʰɐn/ in IPA.
