Possible vandalism

Could someone please review the recent edits by User:137.132.3.6. Many of the user's other edits are barely sneaky vandalism, and that leads these edits to be suspect. I don't know the subject enough to know. Thanks - Taxman ^Talk 13:11, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Suggestions for improvement

1. The personal data portion seems like it is copied from some fan site. It should be rewritten in verbose form as much as possible.
2. The upcoming events portion is totally unnecessary. Remember, this is an encyclopedia article, NOT a fan site!

I agree. It is rather obvious that the article is subjectively written, slanting in favour of Kelvin Tan while glossing over his negative points. Also, I'm surprised at the statement "Kelvin acted in many dramas and variety shows". Since when? A cameo appearence in 1 drama, "Dream Chasers", and 1 competition (if you can call it a variety show) "Project Superstar". I personally don't consider these many, so I have edited it away. --218.186.9.3 14:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Even I, an IP address, have bothered to write down a summary after editing. Why can't those with registered nicks do so? It seems pure vandalism when people just remove my hard-worked edits... or just to irritate me out. --218.186.9.3 05:20, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

• There is a lot of uncited text.
• There is not much information about his recent work. The music career stops at 2019, the personal life stops at 2020, and there are gaps in information of several years.

Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should it go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 12:22, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
