thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Kung Fu-From Dark Angel.png

message: The article intro states that the monastery where Caine was raised was in Hunan province.  The "Cain's name" section states Henan.  Which is correct?  (The Name section remarks on the dialect likely spoken there, which might be quite different for Hunan vs. Henan.)  -- Super Aardvark (talk) 08:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Greetings, whoever is reading this, if anyone does.
This page seems to have technical problems. On June 15 I added some information (Development), yet the "page information" says it hasn't been edited in the last 30 days, and the history shows no changes since May 25. Is that normal? Just made a correction; I hope it will be visible.
Also, regarding the contents, it appears the article lacks information from the production point of view. I have been adding information to the Kung Fu (1972 TV series) article; whatever I find of interest that deals with the character himself, I'll put it here. I think the production and the actor's musings on Caine could prove interesting, especially in the light of how controversial the casting has come to be. However, there is an issue: canon.
I am a Trekkie. We live and die for canon. Kung Fu seems to have none, since the movies contradicted each other and the second series, even having David Carradine in the leading role, was about *another* Kwai Chang Caine, not this one. And, the new series not even mentions him. Now, generally speaking, canon results from what appears on the screen, not other things like novels or comics. In this article there are things that go directly against what appeared in the 1972 series and the 1986 movie, the only "canon" sources for this character, like what happened with the Shaolin Temple after he fleed from China. The 1986 movie is explicit about it.
So, respectfully, I will slowly delete what doesn't appear on the screen. For the sake of the other article, I have rewatched this series two times; the third one will be for the minute details and this article. There are a fan website and a script transcription blog where we can refer to what did and did not appear on the screen; also the DVDs and the streaming services to watch the episodes, plus the many clips on YouTube. Those are the sources that should decide what remains and what goes away.
So, let's have fun. And hopefully, let's make a good article. Maykiwi (talk) 22:50, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: @ Maykiwi Question: Wouldnt it be better to spell his name in todays romanizations? Kwai-chang Cain would make understandable for anyone Kwai(-)chang (or Kwaichang) is his first name, not that Chang is a middle name, what many readers will think when reading "Kwai Chang Caine".
