It should be on permanent record for legal purposes, and I would also like ot verify that it is compatible with the GFDL - it sounds like it is not compatible with the GFDL in which case we would have to regrettably remove this excellent article.  I have no objection to indicating the origin of the page as a courtesy (although it may not be so courteous once the page says something different) but requiring it is almost certainly incompatible with Wikipedia's license. --Andrew 05:49, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)
Can we give out the general background of Cantonese opera performers, such as what is Darn, Saung? 00timcheng 18:50, 25 Feb 2004
Yes I agree with jeffrey that we can also provde the chinese terms and write more about the performers part. I am going to update more on the inportant artsits later. I think we should include a few outstadning and well known artists and write short descriptions of them. 02ryantou 19:55, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Has permission been granted to use the material on ? For example, the section Cantonese Opera's Frequently Used Terms appears to have been lifted practically verbatim. Lupin 11:31, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyright infringement?

message: I notice that some of the text in the passage has been extracted verbatim. I am trying to rewrite many of them to avoid copy right infringement. I suggest people try not to copy vertaim from other websites. Also i think we should add some pictures, but we have to obtain copy right or we can take our own pictures. - 02ryantou 14:25 , 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  what does the influence of pop music has to do with cantonese opera? 

message: A lot of the text in this article seems to be Yale romanization, but without tone markings, which makes all the Hs kind of extraneous (unless every single word is level tone). Wiki Wikardo 03:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Characteristics 

message: I am making an Official Princess Robe for the Plays, 帝女花, and 紫釵記.
In the Play 紫釵記 The Purple Hair Pin, 霍小玉 Jade Folk could not be subject to a beating because she was wearing a Crown and a Formal Official Princess Robe.  
What constitutes a Formal Official Robe?  Is it the Blue or Gold Wave Motif?  Does it have to have the Dragon and Phenix embroidery?  Does it have to be Red? (Obsessions28 (talk) 03:42, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: What are all the superscripts referring to? For example, what is "cing4 sik1 sing3" referring to? It's not clear to me if those are old references or what. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:49, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello, don't want to rant but this article caused me some hours of extra recherche. There are several issues like the weighting in the language that seems to make all info special or even unique to the kanton opera. But even the red/white face is only a version of what is known from kunqu, which is not mentioned as an influence at all. Also, the article states that today all singing is in english, and that the kanton opera uses lots of western instruments. A recherche of five minutes at YouTube showed the opposite: All classic, all Mandarin. Don't get me wrong, the influence of western music is there, but also in other operas, specifically the peking opera and the sichuan opera, but that is only coping with times, a try to survive, not a style or unique feature

replies: text: I agree with your main point, but it requires a lot of knowledge to compare/contrast the different Chinese opera genres, something very few editors (especially here on en.wiki) possess. One correction: they are definitely not "all Mandarin", this is "Cantonese" opera after all. Timmyshin (talk) 18:04, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Hi wikipedians,
I noticed many names have redlink. I created some articles. Then, I realized the table and names simply don't communicate why the names are grouped together.
This section is being cleaned up with better clarification. It was previously just a table with no explanation. Articles are being created. Thanks for your patients. Your comments here are welcome. I don't plan to update other sections unless I find good citations. Thanks, SWP13 (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi wikipedians, 
The names in this article are Chinese names. To avoid confusion, all names will display with surname first, followed by first name. BTW, Most names are also stage name. Thanks, SWP13 (talk) 18:57, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
