Talk:Cantonese slang

Opinions

I saw this message from a user who argued that the article is "May contain too many 'opinions' but may need more encyclopaedic information." - The problem is that opinions often are encyclopedic information--if they are "notable" opinions or opinions covered in reliable sources.

When starting articles I often use Google Books as I can get sourced information. Often that sourced info includes opinions and interpretations from scholars.

Yes, I agree that "harder facts" are needed here, but "opinions" should also be covered. Also a lot of these "opinions" are research, and not merely regular "opinions" WhisperToMe (talk) 17:02, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

I understand what you mean, but there's probably a lot of literature and you should probably decide which opinions to include. Right now, the list looks rather 'random'. Maybe you can divide the page into several sections first, then add in the opinions when necessary. Cheers, Kayau (talk · contribs) 00:48, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

There are some more pieces of literature I found, so I'll try to add stuff from it. I'm not sure how to categorize it, but maybe the more things I find, perhaps possible sections will become self evident WhisperToMe (talk) 06:06, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion: Maybe you can take a look at other slang-related articles to decide how to structure this one. Kayau (talk · contribs) 06:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC) 06:14, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

That's a good suggestion! I'll take a look WhisperToMe (talk) 06:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I've separated lots of content WhisperToMe (talk) 21:50, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Bad depiction of Cantonese - focuses too much on inappropriate language

The article seems to focus too much on coarse language, without much actual content on slang Hongqipiao (talk) 08:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
