• Obvious faults in prose, structure, formatting: I tagged it "overlinked". Can you please unlink "glass", "horsemen", "whipping", "bamboo", "busker", etc. – common dictionary terms. Space before ellipsis points. Pretty well-written. No chance of brightening the 1922 pic? Tony (talk) 07:13, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Comments/discussion:

ALT1: ... that in Kuda Lumping (performance pictured), performers may eat glass and fire?

I have addressed Tony's comments, although I left one instance of busker linked as it might not be understood, depending on the cultural context. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:30, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
