'''NOTE''': I will reply to messages here, rather than at other people's talk pages.
'''Méi Lánfāng''' ({{zh-ts|t=梅蘭芳|s=梅兰芳}}) ([[October 22]][[1894]] - [[August 8]][[1961]]) was one of the most famous [[Beijing opera|Beijing]] or [[Beijing opera|Peking opera]] artists in modern history, exclusively known for his ''qingyi'' roles, a type of [[Dan (Chinese opera)|dan]] role. ''Méi Lánfāng'' is his [[stage name]], and in Chinese it is generally considered a feminine name. His real name was '''Méi Lán''' ({{zh-ts|t=梅瀾|s=梅澜}}). Mei, [[Shang Xiaoyun]] (尚小云), [[Cheng Yanqiu]] (程砚秋) and [[Xun Huisheng]] (荀慧生) were known as Four Great Dan in the golden era of Peking Opera. Mei really a culture [[hero]].
<hr>


Méi was born in 1894 into a family of Beijing Opera and [[Kunqu|Kūnqǔ]] performers. He made his stage debut at the [[Guanghe Theatre]] in 1904 when he was 10 years old.<ref>[http://english.people.com.cn/200602/14/eng20060214_242664.html Folk cultural heritage recalls national memory], People's Daily Online, [[February 14]], [[2006]].</ref> In his 50-year stage career, he maintained strong continuity while always working on new techniques. His most famous roles were those of female characters; skillful portrayal of women won him international acclaim, and his smooth, perfectly timed, poised style has come to be known in opera circles as the “Méi School.” He also played an important part in continuing the performance tradition of Kūnqǔ, noted particularly for his interpretations of [[Du Liniang|Dù Lìniáng]] (杜丽娘; in ''[[The Peony Pavilion]]'') and Bái Sùzhēn (白素贞; in [[Léifēng Temple]])and [[Xiang Yu]] before forced suicide, his girl friend [[Beauty Yu]] sing a sad last song for [[Xiang Yu]](霸王別姬), Mei as Beauty Yu singing that made many Chinese audiences large emotion and popular forever, and praise Mei is the best and greatest vocal artist in modern China.
==Metroid Prime 3==


On July 1937, the [[Marco Polo Bridge Incident]] occurred, [[Imperial Japanese Army]] soon occupied Beijing, commander of Japanese Army ordered Mei performanced for them and appointed Mei be a high rank official but Mei whole refused and never sing opera even made him poor till finished war 1945, and it took more Chinese highly respected Mei.
I happen to know that David Bandel was the real developer of Metroid Prime 3. Credit was given due to financial and legal issues on the part of Nintendo. However, this doesn't change the fact of the matter. The edit to this effect was therefore, not vandalism.


Méi was the first artist to spread Beijing Opera to foreign countries, participating in cultural exchanges with [[Japan]], the United States, and other regions. He was known to have toured the world, forming friendships with the western contemporaries of his day, including Charlie Chaplin. During his visit to Hollywood, he was also welcomed by [[Douglas Fairbanks]] and [[Mary Pickford]].
==Rangerboard discussion==


After 1949 he served as director of China Beijing Opera Theater, director of the Chinese Opera Research Institute, and vice-chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Besides his autobiography, ''Forty Years of Life on the Stage'', several of his articles and essays have been published in ''The Collected Works of Mei Lanfang''. Recordings of his best-known performances have been published in ''A Selection of Beijing Operas Performed by Mei Lanfang''. In 2000, the story of his life was filmed in a documentary entitled ''The Worlds of Mei Lanfang''. It has been rumoured that acclaimed director [[Chen Kaige]] is set to direct a film biography of his life.

The article I'm refering to in Game Informer is titled "Behind the Mic" (Issue 161, Sept 2006 pg. 18). It features Jennifer Hale and another voice actor (Cam Clarke). A box in the middle of the page lists "notable game roles" and the ''Metroid Prime'' series is listed saying that she did voice Samus Aran in those games. I'm also going to request a complete list of her works from her website if this isn't proof enough. Hopefully it'll have what I'm after. -[[User:SaturnYoshi|SaturnYoshi]] 00:13, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

== [Moved from user page] ==

I wasn't sure if that combo did exist until I watched the episode again and you were right no shovel and crane combo sorry. Ok since you pointed it never appeared in Boukenger as well then ok I will not add it. The only reason I assumed that combo was in OO and Boukenger because of the shovel and crane being called but were damaged before they could merge with Daibouken/DriveMax Megazord.

Greetings. There is going to be a [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 2|Washington DC Wikipedia meetup]] on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in [[:Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland]], I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "'''but let me know about future events'''", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "'''I'm not interested in attending any others either'''" on the DC meetup page.--[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 00:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

== Mother Brain in Aurora Units ==

I can't make out the last sentence of what you wrote when you replaced my editing in the Aurora Units article. If I don't understand it, then others will have problems as well. Try to rephrase that last sentence and use the Metroid E-Mange link I provided since it's a source. [[User:Duhman0009|Duhman0009]] 19:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

== "That's really unnessacary" ==
I personally don't think that my addition to the MP: 3 Article was "unnessacary". It is, at least in my opinion, a milestone. Now, I'm not readding it unless we resolve it (and agree, not like I would if we decide otherwise) but maybe we need a third opinion or something. --Jump! Slash! Dash! Ouch! Super Mario SonicBOOM! 16:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
: The redesign marked a change to a pure out of 10 rating style. On that notion, you could mention that Super Mario Sunshine could be given a milestone because it was one of several that got a 5/5. MP: 3 was, like I said, the first one to get a perfect ten under the new scale. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mario Sonicboom|Mario Sonicboom]] ([[User talk:Mario Sonicboom|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mario Sonicboom|contribs]]) 19:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


==List of Japanese N64 games==
I noticed your one of the people that wished there to be a list of Japanese games online for Wikipedia which I tried to make for the Nintendo 64 a few months ago, but just like when they where added to the orginal [[List of Nintendo 64 games]] they are trying to delete the new page [[List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games]] here's a link [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games]] to the discussion, how about giving your view.

==requesting reason that you undid "Playable Stages" section==
I am currently wondering why you undid my entry with the playable stages section at the [[SSBB]] srticle. Please respond, thanks. [[User:Spitfire19|Spitfire]] 20:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

==Playable Characters in Brawl==

Who has a good chance for being in Brawl [[Princess Daisy]] (Mario Series), [[Amy Rose]] (Sonic The Hedgehog Series) or [[Lilina]] from the Fire Emblem Series? {{unsigned|68.162.108.99}}
:None of them, in my opinion. Daisy will likely just be a Peach alt-color like in Melee; Lyn was an assist trophy, so the chances of any FE character besides Ike (or maybe Marth and Roy) are slim to none; and if any other Sonic character appears, it will likely be Tails or Knuckles on an outside chance.
:By the way, the official article for Brawl, as well as its FAQ in the talk page, are not places to add your ideas on who will be in it. Those pages are encyclopedic entries with factual information. If you'd like to discuss who you think would be in the game, it would be better to do so on your own talk page or on a forum not related to Wikipedia. [[User:Arrowned|Arrowned]] 22:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

== Episodes ==

And how do you know that episode info is confidential? I could say the last ones post on Overdrive are just rumoured as well. [[User:The Technodrome's Toilet|The Technodrome&#39;s Toilet]] 06:41, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
:Looks like I've stepped into someone's territory. Some guy named [[User:Ryulong]] is threating me with a block. I don't know if you know this guy but he seems upset. I see you're into [[Legend of Zelda]] games so maybe I'll edit there. [[User:The Technodrome's Toilet|The Technodrome&#39;s Toilet]] 06:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


==Re: List of Japanese N64 games==
Sorry for the inconvenience, I also didn't know if I should make this talk or add it to the one above, because you might not expect more to be added above and might miss it. Before I sent the above message I searched for Contributors that had made changes to listing that had Japanese video games, mostly Famicom, Super Famicom, N64 and a few others like Doraemon. I was able to find that you where one of those who contributed to Famicom list.

*03:27, 27 June 2007 (hist) (diff) List of Famicom games‎ (Changing Zyuranger link per redirect.)

I figured if a person contributed to the list either for the better or deleting something that they didn't like at least they'd have a opinion about how the games on the Japanese pages where listed, I still thing the table version is the best, but also they might be familiar with Japanese listings and spot any mistakes in spelling and in general set up of the page, as well as telling if it had useful information or was simply more of a fan thing that wouldn't be very useful to anyone else. Thankfully it was shown to be useful and the information is required to be incorporated into the regular list of N64 games, which was what I tried to do in the first place. Sorry again, I hope you'll continue helping to make things in Japanese more clear to English users of Wikipedia. I also wrote another apology on my talk page after reading your message.

Sorry. I overlooked the resolution thing. Lowered it to match the one you had, and I also updated the source (Wal-Mart's online store).

== Removal of hidden SSBS tags ==

I took them out, but you reverted my edit, saying that they were doing some good by being there. It's not a hill to die on, since they're not harming anything, but my point is that we are only fostering the mass paranoia that those boards are infested with. You posit that they prevent people from adding them to the article, but I haven't seen any difference in the addition of unconfirmed characters for ones with tags and ones without. In addition, shortly after you reverted my removal, an IP attempted to add in Mega Man repeatedly, with the tag displayed right above the edit. Can you provide any further justification for why those tags should remain? [[User:Coreycubed|Coreycubed]] ([[User talk:Coreycubed|talk]]) 21:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
:And again, with Jigglypuff: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Super_Smash_Bros._(series)&diff=183258817&oldid=183258727] That wasn't even one of the ones I wanted to remove (only the really fringe speculation / unknown Assist Trophies).

Dragondragon hasn't said a word since the last time I suggested it, so if some other people backed me up, it might actually work.

== Question ==

from WikiProject Video games

Link I don't want to start fighting again but please GAMEFAQs, GAMESTOP, TOYSRUS. are not sources they seem to be I also thought they were sources until I went to SSBB (Super Smash Brother Brwal) page and they were all yelling at me for adding GAMEFAQs, GAMESTOP, TOYSRUS as sources.--Lbrun12415 20:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

:Wow, be quiet. After you continuously vandalized my statement, I have decided to be done with you. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Are Gamefaqs, GAMESTOP, TOYSRUS sources ?--[[User:Lbrun12415|Lbrun12415]] 20:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:When it comes to release dates for games that aren't out yet, they're not reputable. GameFAQs is a user-submission site, just like Wikipedia (such sites are never used as sources if there's better alternatives). Vendors like GameStop and TRU always use "best guess" release dates until companies actually give actual confirmed ones. If the game is already out, they could probably be used, but it's best to get a better source at that point anyways, since there would be a lot more sites, including more reputable ones, who give the same data. [[WP:VG/DATE]] has more information on all this. [[User:Arrowned|Arrowned]] ([[User talk:Arrowned#top|talk]]) 21:27, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

==Brawl==
Hey, just wanted to ask. Do you think Brawl is ready for a second attempt at the FAC? I think I should try it, just to see. But if I nominate it, would you like to help as co-nom? I found it incredibly tiring last time to nominate an article by itself, although there should be less problems now that the article has improved drastically since. --[[User:Haha169|haha169]] ([[User talk:Haha169|talk]]) 16:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

== Metroid Prime/ Metroid Fusion release date. ==

A very good rule of thumb on release dates (especially for Nintendo games) is to actually look at what days the conflicting information tells you. For instance, various sources are reporting the release dates for MP were November 17th, 18th, and 19th of 2002. The 17th was a Sunday, the 18th was a Monday, and the 19th was a Tuesday. For Nintendo, they only release their products on 2 specific days: Sunday and Tuesday. The only time a Nintendo product is released on a Sunday, is if the product is a highly anticipated product with inevitable large sales. (Wii, NDS, NDS Lite, SSBB, Pokemon: D & P, are great examples). At the time, MP and MF were highly anticipated, but were not expected to sell above the 200K mark each for that week, thus leaving the only option to release it on a Tuesday (19th). Plus, about 99.5% of the time, no game will ever, or has ever, been officially released on a Monday. It's a shipping date. On top of all that, I was one of those people who were eagerly expecting Metroid Prime, counted down until it's release, and joyfully picked up my copy on November 19th, 2002.

I hope I clarified a few things up for you. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/209.149.164.164|209.149.164.164]] ([[User talk:209.149.164.164|talk]]) 15:00, 3 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Metroid II:Return of Samus==
On the [[Talk:Metroid II: Return of Samus|talk page]], it seems an anonymous user is upset that the information about a fan-based colorization project keeps getting deleted. On my last deletion, he posted a number of sites that apparently discuss the project, but none of them seem notable to me. Can you poke your head in and give an opinion about the matter? Thanks.

:Level Opacity, though a very pretty site, seems to me to be little more than the blog and project database of a single programmer, and isn't really notable. Internode, on the other hand, is an offshoot of an Australian net provider and, while not the first site I'd think of to pull a citation from, is legitimate enough to work.

:: I apologize to both of you about, perhaps, the limited nature of the site resources I can provide. I would suggest that the reason why IGN and others haven't commented on the widespread nature of these remake projects is the fact that they are all highly illegal. Both the M2DX project (which involves modification of proprietary code and distribution of those modifications) and the full remakes violate copyright in a significant way- the former via methodology and bits of code, the latter completely since it uses Nintendo's own artwork as a foundation, PLUS is a derivative work. I just hope that, given the providing of sources, that we can at the least let the acknowledgment of the existence of these things remain.

:::That's alright. I was a little peeved at your initial response (possibly because there's a bit of truth in it; when there's no suitable citations for information, I tend to prefer deletion over leaving a {{fact}} template up for months, as generally tends to happen), but I've always liked the idea that this information could be included in the article, and was hoping ''eventually'' a proper citation could be found that would allow it to stay in. Certainly your point about the legal validity of the hacks and remakes is probably the foremost reason the major sites don't cover it. But now that we have a workable citation, I'm pretty pleased, so thank you for providing what you were able to find.

== Power Rangers ==

Appreciate your role in keeping the clairvoyants in check until the film is a reality. I know how frustrating these persistent vandals can be, but i think it's wise to resist the impulse for a sarcastic "Thank you". It not only contributes to a more general tone of incivility, but (especially on edit summaries, where they can't be changed later), they can give an editor a bad reputation (which i very much doubt you deserve!) with colleagues. But keep yp the good work, and i'll be keeping a half an eye there too: i blocked a guy with probably at least two registered IDs and a mission to (among other things) get out the word that it's ''not'' a kids' series.

:Thank you for the kudos, and for the admonition as well. I keep forgetting Wikipedia is supposed to be a more [[WP:BITE|user-friendly]] community, and tend to let my sarcastic nature from message boards out more often than I honestly should.

Revision as of 16:40, 10 October 2008

File:Méi Lánfāng bust.jpg
Bust of Méi Lánfāng in Mei Lanfang Memorial Museum in Beijing

Méi Lánfāng (simplified Chinese: 梅兰芳; traditional Chinese: 梅蘭芳) (October 221894 - August 81961) was one of the most famous Beijing or Peking opera artists in modern history, exclusively known for his qingyi roles, a type of dan role. Méi Lánfāng is his stage name, and in Chinese it is generally considered a feminine name. His real name was Méi Lán (simplified Chinese: 梅澜; traditional Chinese: 梅瀾). Mei, Shang Xiaoyun (尚小云), Cheng Yanqiu (程砚秋) and Xun Huisheng (荀慧生) were known as Four Great Dan in the golden era of Peking Opera. Mei really a culture hero.

Méi was born in 1894 into a family of Beijing Opera and Kūnqǔ performers. He made his stage debut at the Guanghe Theatre in 1904 when he was 10 years old.[1] In his 50-year stage career, he maintained strong continuity while always working on new techniques. His most famous roles were those of female characters; skillful portrayal of women won him international acclaim, and his smooth, perfectly timed, poised style has come to be known in opera circles as the “Méi School.” He also played an important part in continuing the performance tradition of Kūnqǔ, noted particularly for his interpretations of Dù Lìniáng (杜丽娘; in The Peony Pavilion) and Bái Sùzhēn (白素贞; in Léifēng Temple)and Xiang Yu before forced suicide, his girl friend Beauty Yu sing a sad last song for Xiang Yu(霸王別姬), Mei as Beauty Yu singing that made many Chinese audiences large emotion and popular forever, and praise Mei is the best and greatest vocal artist in modern China.

On July 1937, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident occurred, Imperial Japanese Army soon occupied Beijing, commander of Japanese Army ordered Mei performanced for them and appointed Mei be a high rank official but Mei whole refused and never sing opera even made him poor till finished war 1945, and it took more Chinese highly respected Mei.

Méi was the first artist to spread Beijing Opera to foreign countries, participating in cultural exchanges with Japan, the United States, and other regions. He was known to have toured the world, forming friendships with the western contemporaries of his day, including Charlie Chaplin. During his visit to Hollywood, he was also welcomed by Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford.

After 1949 he served as director of China Beijing Opera Theater, director of the Chinese Opera Research Institute, and vice-chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Besides his autobiography, Forty Years of Life on the Stage, several of his articles and essays have been published in The Collected Works of Mei Lanfang. Recordings of his best-known performances have been published in A Selection of Beijing Operas Performed by Mei Lanfang. In 2000, the story of his life was filmed in a documentary entitled The Worlds of Mei Lanfang. It has been rumoured that acclaimed director Chen Kaige is set to direct a film biography of his life.
