(

... that as a child Mei Baojiu had such a beautiful appearance and delicate voice that his father sent him to study Peking opera?

Serious problems with this article, primarily NPOV language and essay-like style, as well as whole paragraphs with no citations. Hook is not particularly interesting, either; many precocious children are sent to study their craft at young ages, so what makes him unique? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:02, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
not to mention lousy refs, including bare urls. PumpkinSky talk 02:14, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

I have cleaned up some POV language, embellished the references so that there are no bare URLs, and cited all the paragraphs.

alt1 ... that Mei Baojiu is the leader of the Mei Lanfang Peking Opera troupe?
How about alt1 hook? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:27, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Works for me. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Family section is unreferenced. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:17, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Good catch, I totally missed that. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:39, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes somehow I missed that too. I have asked User talk:NNUR06BikaJiang5090623 who wrote that paragraph where the information came from. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:22, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Any response? – Muboshgu (talk) 19:47, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

No response, I will remove the section. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:35, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

K, looks like this is okay again. AGF on offline sources — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:08, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
