he said that the chinese government was right to crackdown on the protestors —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.130.162.248 (talk • contribs).
Is there a quotation for that? --WongFeiHung 00:39, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  his view 

message: This article could do with a little touch-ups in the area of grammar and its sheer appearance.
:OK, done. I've added an infobox and removed the Cleanup tag.  Happy Christmas, Tony! Fayenatic london 20:31, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think the main pic should be of one of Tony's music albums since he devotes more time to his acting than to his music career. Something from his movies should be up, but something I could find was a photo from the 2006 HK Entertainment Expo; if someone can find a better picture, change this image. --WongFeiHung 00:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: I personally think the section on his Hong Kong TV career should be expanded. He was the star of the fantastic serial "Police Cadet" and the serial adoption of Jin Yong's "Heavenly Sword, Dragon Sabre" and "Duke of Mt Deer".    Those early works show a happy go-lucky extroverted Tony Leung in contrast to his serious introverted roles in the past decade or so. 66.171.76.140 05:33, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ditto. Although its for his film work that he is known in the West, without his TV career and the popularity his stint at TVB created in the Hon Kong public, he would have no film career. KTo288 13:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  TV Career 

message: There appears to be contentious information about personal relationships, some of which is even identified within the article as unproven "rumors", especially in the section Relationship with Carina Lau. I wonder if much of this should be removed—if sources are not provided—according to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Any thoughts? --Paul Erik 01:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  BLP concerns 

message: Why is it necessary that we insert Leung's surname on the top? I happen to have the same one, but I do not find this very useful. Other Chinese celebrity articles that used to have it, now don't. ★Dasani★ 10:18, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Because many English-speaking readers wouldn't know which name was the surname.  This is an English-language encyclopedia, and a large number of readers are used to the surname being last, not first, and certainly not in the middle. - Fayenatic (talk) 17:49, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Then make it so that all Chinese celebs have it. A ton are lacking in this department. ★Dasani★ 06:48, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Surname on top 

message: Is it known what Tony's birth name is? Did he retain his father's surname of Leung even after his father left the family? I assume he did, but otherwise this information would be great to add to the article. 75.4.252.249 (talk) 01:24, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth name? 

message: "Leung has won the Hong Kong Film Awards five times"
Should be 7 times, including 2 supporting.  Unless you specify it's 5 best actor awards.
I'm not familiar with how to edit wiki, so can somebody change that.

thread_title:  correction 

message: This statement seems obviously false (or at least, unprovable, unencylopedic and unsourced). However, it has been added multiple times (apparently by two different Hong Kong-based users), and I do not wish to continue an edit war. The edits are becoming increasingly absurd and grandiose;  Most recent diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tony_Leung_Chiu-wai&diff=1044964209&oldid=1044944376
This claims do not seem serious enough to involve BLP noticeboard, but I'm not sure what else to do. As many people will be visiting this article after the recent Marvel movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, it will be very misleading to leave the article in this state, and this user (or possibly users) seem intent to keep it this way.

thread_title:  "He is Asia's most successful and internationally recognised actor" 

message: I've done considerable rewrites in the film career section and fixed a lot of info in other sections. There were many inaccuracies and still can use some clean up.<BR>
I try to note citations for everything I add or correct and I'm happy to discuss anything I've changed.<BR>
<BR><BR>
Some notes:<BR>
Deleted the line that says "Some consider Leung's role in director John Woo's 1992 action film Hard Boiled, in which he co-starred with Chow Yun-fat, to be his breakthrough role." Neither references say anything about this being his breakthrough, and one mentions a few of his earlier works. The references cited:<BR>

https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/people-events/article/2152504/8-great-tony-leung-films-1990s
<BR>
Simplified the Tiananmen sq quote to simply say that he responded that he was misquoted. Embellishments removed:<BR>
"Under constant political pressure and boycott threats" - no boycott or threats mentioned at all in referenced articles.<Br>
"and thus refused to retract his earlier statement in a magazine, a view echoed by other pundits" - an indirect conclusion, plus who are the pundits and what view are they echoing - Leung's or the magazine's? The articles don't talk about echoing any view.<BR>
Just stick to the facts. Also I'm not sure this belongs in film career, but don't know where else to move it.<BR>
