Tidy up of English

Quoting from the section Political views and controversy: 'While Chan was not accused of engaging in illegal activity per se' Per se is unnecessary, and borders of the meaningless. It adds nothing to the sentence, and removal would not alter the meaning. Its removal would be an improvement. Would someone with editing access delete? Thanks. 77.25.22.157 (talk) 16:03, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

Hong Kong is a part of China his nationality should say Chinese. Sandwich enjoyer (talk) 06:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Datukship

His datuk should be removed from infobox since his honour is purely honorary. 126.232.132.167 (talk) 15:12, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Acutally, I was just thinking that this violates the privacy of the child:
-"...an illegitimate daughter by the name of Etta Ng Chok Lam was born on 18 January 1999. It turned into a scandal within the media. Although he reportedly gave Elaine 70,000 HK dollars each month for her living expenses and 600,000 HK dollars when she moved to Shanghai, the transactions were later claimed to be nonexistent by her lawyer.[95][96][97][98] Despite regretting the results of the affair, Chan said he had "only committed a fault that many men in the world commit".[99][100][101] During the incident, Elaine stated she would take care of her daughter without Chan.[102]"
-Could we at least delete the child's name?
-== 36 Crazy Fists ==
-Isn't this also a Jackie Chan film?  It is not listed in the filmography.  The credits list 'Jacky Chan'.  There's at least one page on WP that claims that it is here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/36_Crazyfists].

-Can anyone verify the source where it is claimed he "speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and American Sign Language and also speaks some German, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and Thai."? Because more recent interviews in Germany and Spain show he doesn't speak German beyond greetings and not even that in Spanish<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf5gcKLByRQ</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIp_Vz-bozE</ref>.
