Talk:Cantonese slang

Opinions edit

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)Reply

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)Reply
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)Reply
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)Reply
That's a good suggestion! I'll take a look WhisperToMe (talk) 06:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
Alright, I've separated lots of content WhisperToMe (talk) 21:50, 5 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
