replies: text: This came from IP user: 58.105.184.172.  It has been reverted.  The movie wasn't out until 2000 so this is likely vandalism. Benjwong (talk) 16:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The guy is a Hong Kong celeb, but one who has canadian nationality, and may even be living in Canada now. As his main audience is Hong Kong, I believe the article should be in international date format, and not American. Ohconfucius (talk) 02:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I have removed the claim of 7/8 han chinese, 1/8 portugese for the time being.  Conflicting things were published about him in a number of magazine, from him being a shanghai-chinese, to part black, to 1/4 chinese, to 1/8 portugese etc.  We need reliable sources. Benjwong (talk) 05:17, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Used a Time magazine source to verify indirectly.  The most in depth coverage of his family heritage comes from an issue of the more controversial Eastweek magazine some time in early 2008. Benjwong (talk) 04:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Is he actually Chinese? He doesn't look at all Chinese, more like an Indian. 86.176.189.197 (talk) 01:18, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

message: In a section above, Benjwong wrote Also TJRC removed a section deemed as superstition. In the east Tooth fairy is superstition but these practices are not. We may need to think in reverse here. Let me better explain.  The section deleted was of Szeto Six-cheun's feng shui analysis of Edison Chen's and Nicholas Tse'salleged past lives.  Such a section is not actually about Edison Chen; it is perhaps about Szeto Six-cheun, and if he or she has a wikipedia article, perhaps you should discuss adding it there.  I would equally object to a western astrologer's horoscope about Chen or any Western celebrity.  And, to use Benjwong's example, I would object to a passage about the tooth fairy as well.

replies: text: My 2 cents is that it fails WP:NOT for being tabloid journalism and WP:BLP for being potentially libelous info.  Why is this detail only included in Chen's article and not the other parties mentioned by the feng shui master? --Madchester (talk) 02:11, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The king Moctezuma II#Depiction in early post-conquest literature clearly talks about his past life. So wikipedia cannot accept Chinese culture talk.  But it is completely okay to accept the glorifying of european conquesters. Both are part of wiki biography. Benjwong (talk) 02:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree in cutting out "Tse also saved a woman who attempted to commit suicide by jumping into a river, that woman is Faye Wong. Though in this life and the past life Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse do not end up together. Cecilia Cheung is supposed to continue the relationship with Tse in this life" But not the rest of the other stuff also. Also, I concur with Benjwong's point. Dengero (talk) 10:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. We'll remove that chunk because it has nothing to do with this person. Benjwong (talk) 13:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The difference is that Montezuma is dead; Chen is not.  Per WP:BLP, we write conservatively about living subjects. --Madchester (talk) 17:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

text: To write conservatively by WP:BLP standard is to not write about the scandal at all. AFAIK past life cultural analysis is very common in the culture. Benjwong (talk) 19:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

text: The source is not a tabloid.  Either you join in the BLP board or avoid jumping in. Thank you. Benjwong (talk) 21:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I found this article because of your back and forth on the BLP board. Hipocrite (talk) 21:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Sure. Benjwong (talk) 00:19, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I don't see any serious BLP problem, but there's an inherent undue weight issue in adding this sort of speculation about what a specific religion thinks about Chen's past lives. If explicitly subscribed to the beliefs it might be a different situation. JoshuaZ (talk) 16:55, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
