message: Why was the picture changed to the current one? While I understand that it's more recent, it's inferior to that of her on the podium at 2009 Worlds for a number of reasons: (a) NHK's a less major event and thus less significant to her career as a whole; (b) it's a smaller picture; and (c) it's not the most flattering of pictures...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.12.230 (talk) 22:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

message: :The Japanese press has been relentlessly critical of Ando's weight, calling her the "lard laden lady of the lutz".
This is an outrageous quote to include in an encyclopedia article. Even if it is true (and I lack the level of understanding of Japanese to verify it) it is highly POV and misleading. The article link at the bottom isn't even about Ando, it's about other students at her former high school. Also, the link is story from a tabloid so it is a highly dubious source of information. Miki Ando is a popular public figure in Japan, appearing in numerous television programs and advertising. Just because someone is critical of her weight (although I fail to see why), it is a tremendous logical leap to claim the press is "relentlessly critical." I am removing both the quote and the link to the article. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 08:34, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I just wanted to tell that the music description for Ando's long program in 2009-10 is incorrect.  Although many articles describe the music as Marco Polo soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, that is wrong.  The correct music description is "Marco Polo" by Loreena Mckennitt, from her album Book of Secrets.  I changed it but then someone changed it back again.  Please listen for yourself, you will see I am right.

message: "Competitive highlights" table is designed for the ease to understand the athelete's history.
However, for every skater, there is a difference between the order of events shown between the two versions of Wikipedia, English and Japanese.
The Japanese version of skaters show them in quasi chronological order, senior games above and junior below.
The English version gathers championships on top, senior and junior (and Novice).
As a personal history of an athlete, Japanese version of display order is by far more adequate and easy to follow.
What the English version guards is only the categorization of "Championships".
Current table in the edition by 78.29.155.145 show World Junior Championships, National Junior Championships and National Novice Championships above senior Grand Prix Final, which is the way the other skaters' English Wiki are, but not in chronological order nor in importance order, hence very difficult for the readers to follow the athelete's history.
So I propose here to adopt, for every skater, the chronological order of display, which the Japanese version has long adopted up to this date, and which my edition followed suite here at English Wiki.
I wait for your opinions.
