significance of Jan 22

edit

Why did she get a doodle on Jan 22? --2607:FEA8:D5DF:F945:EC2A:FDE3:9E53:A19B (talk) 03:46, 23 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

1945 film success

edit

A section title mentions "1945 film success", but nothing whatsoever in the article mentions it again, let alone elaborates on it. 2601:80:4200:F51:E8C4:A6F5:85C9:DC8A (talk) 04:21, 15 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

The lead does not meet MOS:LEAD and there are sourcing issues. I'm not convinced that news articles from the 1930s are high-quality reliable sources when there are a ton of scholarly sources out there. Article can't be considered well-researched given that it doesn't incorporate the new 2019 scholarly biography by Shirley Jennifer Lim. (t · c) buidhe 20:00, 7 May 2022

Infobox photo

edit

Does anyone else object to the current infobox photo? I think it's probably the worst one of her in Wikimedia Commons, and shouldn't be the first-up image in the article. I propose replacing it with another. Almost any would be better, but personally I would favour this one:

 
Publicity photo of Anna May Wong from Stars of the Photoplay, 1930.

Was Wong born to first or second generation immigrants?

edit

The lead has "Born in Los Angeles to first-generation Taishanese Chinese American parents..." whereas Biography (early life subsection) has: "Wong's parents were second-generation Chinese Americans; her maternal and paternal grandparents had arrived in the U.S. no later than 1855."

Unless I'm missing something, these statements can't both be correct. Heavy Grasshopper (talk) 20:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

The lead is wrong. I've fixed it. Masato.harada (talk) 10:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
