Talk:Sadako Sasaki

message: 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)

: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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text:  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)

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)

message: 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.

message: " 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."

message: 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)
thread_title:  Montreal Children's Hospital/Other memorials? 

message: Hang on ... in the very first sentence of this article, Sadako's birth and death dates are given as 'January 7, 1943 – October 25, 1955'. Yet the last sentence of the 'Overview' section reads:
:With her family around her, Sadako died on the morning of October 25, 1955 at the age of 10.
Shouldn't she be twelve by now? Since this appears to be just a typo, I'll change it. — JustPotteringAround (talk) 02:47, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

It says her final words are:
Her Last Words Were "It's good."
October 26, 1955 / Shinkoji Temple
In mid-October, Sadako's left leg turned reddish-purple, swelling to 1.5 times normal size. The severe, throbbing pain kept her awake at night. On the morning of October 25, the family was told that the time was near. They gathered in Sadako's hospital room. Mr. Sasaki urged Sadako to eat something and she responded, "Tea on rice, please." Someone rushed to a nearby eatery to buy a bowl of rice. After taking a spoonful, Sadako said, "It's good." Those were her last words. She ate a second spoonful, then passed away as if drifting to sleep. She had been in the hospital about eight months.
Should it be changed?
