Linkin Park Reference

I can't verify the reference mentioned in the article, but it looks suspicious. "A Thousnd Suns" is a reference to Hindu scripture, not Sadako or paper cranes. Possibly Sadako is mentioned somewhere in the album, but the article doesn't clearly indicate how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.122.112.78 (talk) 01:02, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How many cranes were made?

She folded more than 1,300 cranes. http://www.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/virtual/VirtualMuseum_e/exhibit_e/exh0107_e/exh01075_e.html Woofles 00:11, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Given that there are so many sources saying that she fell short of 1,000, I think we must at least mention that version of the story. JamesMLane 02:03, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I personally think, that museum's source is more reliable. On the other hand, I can say, that 644 version is popular not only in English sources, but also, for example, in Russian ones. It should certainly be present here. Cmapm 13:56, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

people, who knows, where the version of 644 cranes came from? in russia this version is most popular and of course i must make mention of this version in article, but i can't do it without explanation. and i can't find any reliable source:( --FearChild 04:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo?

If someone will find Sadako's public domain photo, please, upload it here, this article certainly lacks it! Cmapm 20:15, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There is a photo of her on sadako.org (linked from this entry). Is this the one you are referring to?

There is a portrait of Sadako with this name: Sadako Sasaki Portrait Age 12.jpg. However, with the graphics intensive nature of this page, I couldn't get the images to behave. Perhaps someone with more wikitalent than I can include this photo without messing up the page as badly as I did when I tried it?

OK, I've rearranged the pictures again. A left side lead image is unusual, but in this case with a tall a narrow portrait it becomes an option. In truth you can only place images easily if there is sufficient text to support them. -- Solipsist 6 July 2005 06:43 (UTC)

You are right, that does look a lot better. Thanks! -- Shinmawa

Book of letters?

After her death, her friends and schoolmates published a collection of letters...

What is the publishing info on the book? It may not be in print anymore, but it's worth including. If it was "self published" or photocopied or something, we should say that. --zandperl 02:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Im just at the end of reading this book in class. It is very good, but shouldnt we metion that sadako met "kenji" out on the hospitals porch?? It was another little 9 year old boy that suffered from luekimia. He died a couple days later.

I do remember having that book read to me, actually. This may be it: http://www.sadako.com/edrec/picturebk.html --LinuxLlama

Cleanup tag

This article uses a quite emotional, story-like tone in places which is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. --Muna (talk) 03:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Attributed haiku

Where is the Japanese version of this translated haiku? It's not on the Japanese wiki, nor does a search of google in either English or Japanese bring it up. 218.220.4.188 (talk) 02:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. It's a nice poem but I don't think it's Sadako's. 60.44.45.242 (talk) 17:52, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

expression

" By November 1954, chicken pox had developed on her neck and behind her ears. Then on January 1955, purple spots had started to form on her legs."

This is an odd statement. Chicken pox are an infectious disease. Unlike leukemia, chicken pox cannot develop as the result of the bombing.

Did Sadako really have chicken pox or should this say "spots" or a "rash"? Is this an accurate translation?
Also, chicken pox do not start on the neck and behind the ears. They generally start on the face and chest. Measles are an infectious disease that has a red rash that starts on the neck and behind the ears. Did she have measles?
It is possible that one of these infectious diseases weakened the girl's immune system, which was already affected, and hastened the leukemia.

If she had an infectious disease such as chicken pox, then it should be stated that "the girl developed a disease", rather than "spots developed". It is bad expression. An infectious disease runs a particualr course. The sentence would be better if it said something like: "In November 1954 Sadako developed chicken pox (or a rash) which began on her neck and behind her ears."

Montreal Children's Hospital/Other memorials?

I was at the Children's Hospital and I noticed a fixture they had, it was 1000 paper cranes in a glass case. Should we make mention of this and other monuments, or just popular culture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.224.126 (talk) 20:20, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

discrepancy between Japanese page and English page.

Description about her illness In JA.WIKI, Lumps start developing around her neck and later her face start swollen like Mumps, the doctor could not identify the cause. Later at another hospital it was diagnosed as leukemia.

there are no mention about the chicken pox in JA.wiki.--Masaqui (talk) 06:52, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
