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] Cleanup

I thought this article was a mess, and have started cleaning it up. At present, it resembles a fansite: - most obviously with usages of "Nic" and Nicholas" instead of the more neutral "Tse", excessive really minute trivia of little biographical interest (so what if he smokes!). Although I've removed some of the trivia, there are still plenty there, so I've tagged it as such. I note that there has been some reverting going on, so I'll leave the changes for now pending more feedback. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

• Now considerably tidied up. I have rearranged the sections, putting personal and professional first. Controversies are now integrated into personal. Furthermore, I have removed some stuff which is far too trivial to be in an encyclopaedia article, although I have left some other trivia until a place can be found for it with other material. I have removed the detailed song-list, which I consider was cluttering up the article. Editors could consider putting this song list into the discography section, or working some of the more important songs along with some descriptive prose, if they believe the songs to be sufficiently important within the context of his career or this article.

I did a couple big rounds of cleanup. Benjwong (talk) 05:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed contents

I have moved the Trivia and Hobbies section out. Most of the material here are difficult to find references for. Also the 2003 and 2005 motor incident does not seem to have any reliable references. Can anyone confirm it with sources that do not belong in blogs etc? Benjwong (talk) 05:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hobbies and habits

His hobbies include gaming, biking, soccer; Tse is trained in WingTsun (詠春) and has starred in numerous action based films. He also collects guitars and exotic pets including echidnas, turtles and lizards, and has been known to have weird pass-times (including playing with a cockroach), noted in Mani's autobiography. Around October 2007 Tse lost one of his most precious pets, a female Brazilian turtle stolen after a pet exhibition in Hong Kong.

He has a liking for Chrome Hearts accessories, and has at least one piercing in each ear. Tse has been photographed several times revealing a tattoo on his lower back, quite similar to one of former girlfriend Faye Wong (王菲).

[edit] Trivia

• Tse has known to have severe symptoms of asthma, and is allergic to furry animals including dogs and horses.
• The song "Forget Me Not", originally performed by Yutaka Ozaki (尾崎豊), is a song which the Chinese government didn't favor too much as it talked about death and depression. In an interview with HK commercial radio 881903, Tse mentioned that when he was studying music in Japan, he was once mistaken for Ozaki, although Ozaki was already dead at the time.
• Tse and Cecilia Cheung have appeared together in Coca-Cola advertisement and enemies in the film The Promise (無極), and Master Q 2001 (老夫子2001).
• When filming his first film Young and Dangerous, he sustained a severe ankle injury. Using alcohol and a few plastic bags, he temporarily treated his wound. Later, when he was treated at a hospital, he realised that his wound was revealing his ankle bones. Once the film was finished filming he was not allowed to watch the premiere as the film was rated 18+ and he was only 17 at that time.
• Many of Tse's friends and associates know him by the nickname "Emperor" (皇帝).
• Korean singer Tablo from the group Epik High stated on the variety show "Happy Together" that he and Tse both attended St. George's School in Vancouver and were friends at the time. Tablo and Tse had a scuffle with a Caucasian student which lead to Tablo's expulsion from the school.^[1]
