In the tv section it fails to mention that he was in an episode of diagnosis murder. ? Scraliontis ( talk) 11:34, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Are the headers under personal life and activism italicized on purpose? 104.241.44.198 ( talk) 04:23, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
Here's my suggestion for how to improve the article. [1] Thoughts?
The death of Jeffrey Epstein, an American financier billionaire and convicted sex offender, has become the subject of conspiracy theories. In August 2019, Takei tweeted: "It is disturbing that a powerful billionaire accused of sex trafficking minors, who was already on suicide watch, has died while in federal custody, his many secrets about other powerful men going with him to the grave. This sounds like something that would happen in Russia, no?" [1] [2]

Is there a "statute of limitations" per se on wikipedia for sexual misconduct allegations that went no where? I know of a few articles that mention this, but the accuser never pressed charges or anything, or in George's case, the accuser was kind of debunked. If I were a celebrity like George, it would bother me that this is sticking to my wikipedia page long after it had been settled, debunked, or was no longer in the media and notable. Any thoughts? Is there a wikipedia standard for this? StarHOG ( Talk) 12:37, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
Should this section be included in George Takei's Wikipedia page? It seems like a gross injustice to smear the name of a survivor of the Japanese internment camps when the accuser, Scott Bruton, admitted that his false accusations of sexual assault against Takei were racially motivated. Are we to perpetuate further injustice against an Asian American public figure who already suffered so much racism here in the United States just because media outlets ran wild against him without actual evidence? This absolutely trivializes the important issue of sexual assault awareness by turning it into a weapon to smear people of color. It's beyond unjust and shameful. AsianAmericanAdvocate ( talk) 17:54, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
I am removing the Sexual Misconduct section from this BLP. The sources are both conflicting and not high quality for the seriousness of the accusations leveled against Takei. Furthermore, there is no action taken against Takei in a court of law. Per WP:BLP and WP:BLPCRIME I believe that the policies agreed upon by the Wikipedia community demand that this action be taken. If anyone disagrees with this decision, please feel free to revert my edit but then I would like a formal RfC. TrueQuantum ( talk) 14:34, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Did Takei ever teach acting formally? I don't see any mention in the article, and Web searching turns up nothing. David Spector ( talk) 22:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
