Birthday[edit]

I found articles in the newspaper saying that Miiko Taka was married for fourteen years from 1944 until 1958. However, her brithdate seems to be 1932. This can't be correct. Anyone know Miiko Taka's real birthday? 132.239.1.230 17:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Article "Actress Miiko Taka of Movies Wins Divorce" states that she was married in 1944, and in 1958 Taka and her husband had two children, aged 12 and 13. That means that they were probably born in 1945-1948. This would mean that either a) Taka was married at 12 years old, and had two children between the ages of 13 and 15 or b) IMDB is an unreliable source in this instance. Especially considering that IMDB is not considered always a reliable source [1]and [2], I think that unless a better source than IMDB is found for Taka's birthday, we should assume that that LA Times article is reliable, and therefore she was not born in 1932 and therefore married with two children before she was 15. In this instance we can safely say that the IMDB is an unreliable source. XinJeisan (talk) 15:44, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I think we can reliably say that her birth year was 1925 based on the following two sources. The link [3] gives her name as Betty Miiko Shikata (noting that her name in movie credits is Miiko Taka). It also notes that she was interned at the Gila relocation camp. This enabled me to locate her internee archival entry at [4] which gives her birth year as 1925. The "1932" year may have been a mistake, or it may have been used for professional reasons (to make her more marketable, as is often done in the acting profession). — Myasuda (talk) 13:31, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Original movie poster for the film Sayonara.jpg[edit]

Image:Original movie poster for the film Sayonara.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Passing[edit]

The Hollywood Reporter obituary states that the "News of her death was posted Jan. 4 on social media by a grandson." That isn't necessarily the day she passed. It doesn't seem right to put that as the death date in the info box. XinJeisan (talk) 14:18, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
