Talk:Karen Mok

Untitled

Can someone get some references about the languages that Karen really speaks??? I go on IMDB link provided and I notice that the list of lang there is different from this list. Which is right? I am going to remove all unless some more references appear in a few days. novacatz 15:30, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Gushing prose

I like her, too, but the language is just a little too adoring for an encyclopaedia article, isn't it? --Fire Star 火星 04:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Reads like a PR piece. Someone please edit this. Zzorse 22:46, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

i d propose to separate more the content of the autobiographical part from the trivia, what is she famous for, are there anecdots typical for her...?

The first sentence makes no sense at all. "Karen Mok" is not a chinese name, it is a stage name. And her family name is "Morris" - I did not manage to change that though - can someone please do it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaeljojo (talk • contribs) 20:29, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Recent deletion of images

BriefEdits recently deleted some of the concert pictures by stating they are "superfluous" and also reduced the size of other images. I do not agree with these changes. The concert pictures serve to illustrate the range of concerts she does and the size was well in line with the ones in other articles of performers. Also, the total number of pictures is really not excessive for a performer of her position. I intend to undo these changes unless there is majority objection to it.Jaeljojo (talk) 11:31, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

• @Jaeljojo: 1. For reference, the version prior to my edits. 2. I removed the two extra concert crowd photos because I did not believe that they added anything new to the article and adjusted the sizes to better reflect proportionality. Per MOS:IMAGELOCATION, "An image should generally be placed in the most relevant article section". There were simply too many big images that crowded out the rest of the article for what is only one section ("Concerts") of the article and were aligned incorrectly with the rest of article's sections, like "Films". — BriefEdits (talk) 20:21, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
  • @BriefEdits: thanks for having a look and getting back to me. I actually think the layout of the article is much nicer when the pictures are all at the side and not one right and one left. And the concert pictures really need a bigger size to convey the meaning. And what is wrong with three concert pictures? I think it nicely conveys the message that she does fill stadiums during her tour, a message that really does not come across with one tiny picture only. Having said all that, if you are adamant about reducing the picture size, I guess some reduction would be a compromise, but I really think we should leave the concert pictures in. Check other articles that have many pictures of the star itself which really does not convey any meaning. Jaeljojo (talk) 21:22, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
    • @Jaeljojo: Per MOS:PERTINENCE, we should strive to include photos that indicate variety and photos that are relevant for the section that it's trying to elaborate on. Having images on the side, while subjectively better, bleeds into the other parts of the article that have no use for those photos. Furthermore, these concerts photos are only from Mok's Ultimate tour that began in 2018. In addition to the three photos in that section already, that's five photos that is going to be used to describe one paragraph. To me, that seems a little excessive and redundant to include all these images for not even one full section. You could technically include a gallery, but again, how much variety and extra information will that bring the users? — BriefEdits (talk) 21:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
      • Thanks. I understand your reasoning, I disagree, but I will not fight over this. To me, the article now looks much less appealing than before and the pics are so tiny, hard to recognise anything really. Let's make them at least bigger, ok? Jaeljojo (talk) 22:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
        • I enlarged the pics to what I hope is a compromise that works for everyone. Sorry, had not logged on when I did it so it now shows up as a change by an anonymous user Jaeljojo (talk) 23:31, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Awards

Recently, a lot of awards and nominations were added to this article. This was certainly a lot of work. I wonder though, whether we should limit the lists to crucial ones? Any thoughts? Jaeljojo (talk) 19:20, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
