Faye Wong

Hi Jason, please can you advise the source of the following statement on the Faye Wong page?

Her personal favorite song is "Kisses In The Wind", featured on her "Coming Home" album.

This strikes me as unlikely, as it's not a particularly strong song musically, nor one in her mother tongue, nor important in her career (even though it was Faye's first English language recording). I don't remember reading this claim on any other fan pages. Cheers! Fayenatic london 22:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have this compilation disc (it's the Enchanting Kaler one, with music from her teenage years), but it's not an officially endorsed release. I believe it mentions it in the inside booklet, but to be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I'll remove this point from the article for now until I'm positively sure it's correct.

Hello again, I was looking for something else and came across a Google translation of this Mandarin page headed 'Faye Wong : "Actually," MTV television series'

http://lib.verycd.com/2004/12/08/0000029624.html

This page does include "Kisses in the Wind" as her favourite song:

喜爱歌曲：Kisses In The Wind

So, well done, and fancy that! By all means go ahead and reinstate the point. I'll retract my scepticism from the Faye Wong talk page. Fayenatic london 22:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what it says in this Enchanting Kaler compilation as well in the booklet:

喜爱歌曲：Kisses In The Wind

Nice find! Jason Gervais 10:15, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Jason, I noticed that you partially removed my comments on the FW talk page about whether the wording needed to be changed to "fashion icon". Should I not have contributed to the discussion because it was too old? It just appeared that there was an objection remaining from the unnamed contributor, which was easily answered, and it seemed better to do so rather than leave it hanging. Fayenatic london 19:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it just seemed too useless to me whoever added that. Especially the one with mistaking Faye for a man, as I felt it could have been a troller. Regardless though, it seems to me the discussion whether she's a gay icon or not is pretty much over and resolved with. She just has fans who are gay, that's all.

Hi Jason, I see you've added more album covers. In the case of Restless, would a longer image look OK, showing the back and front covers together? The three photos on the complete cover illustrate a well-known proverb! Cheers, Fayenatic london 16:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then we'd have to add the alternate covers to her other albums too. I think including the first cover pressings for the first editions of her albums would be better and would keep the page neat and organized. Jason Gervais 12:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an alternate cover I was after, but the missing third of Faye's three wise monkeys! Fayenatic london 19:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overblood

Hello, I'm fairly new to wiki, and am saddened to see that you deleted my contribution to the article of "Overblood". What you deleted was the following:

One of the many faults in this game occurs when Raz Karcy first encounters a robot named Pepo. He asks the robot, "Do you understand me?" To which the robot responds by shaking his head no. Now, if the robot didn't understand him, how did it know how to respond to the question?

What was so terribly wrong? It actually happened in the game, and I thought that expanding on any article was considered good here. Especially a game that only about 30 people remember ever existed.

Very biased and the wording of your contribution seemed alittle one-sided. You may be right about the goofs in the game, but you need to provide the article with verifiable sources to back your claims up. Jason Gervais 11:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jason, in case you come back here, I had already replaced it with File:Faye Wong To Love.jpg because that's a preferred image format (see {{Bad GIF}}). I was also able to show the alternative English title "It's My Style". – Fayenatic (talk) 14:17, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
