I am trying to get Masako Katsura to featured article level. I've gone as far as I can with English Language sources, but there has to be many in Japanese, probably with a lot of vital information not in any of the English sources. I could really use the help of someone fluent in Japanese who has a research skillset. The easy stuff first: I'd like to place her written Japanese name in proper form at the start of the article. I got this: の検索結果 from some Wikipedia mirror Japanese site. I have no idea if it's correct or even that I identified the correct part the page that displayed her name. I'd like to place right after her Latin character name something similar to the form that follows, grabbed from another article:
More involved help: it would be wonderful if someone would gather together a list of reliable sources available online, if there are any, which discuss her. It is pretty much impossible for me to do so with the language barrier. Once I have a list, I can use machine translation as best I can to see what they say and if they have any additional information and can ask specific questions here or elsewhere if I identity something to add to make sure I get it right. Of course, anyone who wants to go further and contribute to the article is welcome, but I would ask that anything you add be cited to a reliable source in an inline citation.
Finally, I am looking at a minimum for the following (citable) information all of which, is far more likely to be available from Japanese sources than English: Her exact date of birth, where she was born and lived as a child (anything on her childhood prior to 14 really) her family's details, their parents and siblings names etc., and finally, her date of death or confirmation that she's still alive and where she lives now (she would be 96-97 years old, having moved back to Japan from the U.S. in about 1990). Finally, note that apparently she and her sister toured many parts of Asia giving exhibitions in 1929 and later and it might be that she has mention in other Asian language sources, especially Chinese.
Thanks for any help.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
In the section "Exhibition tours", inner link " hustler"(...well known pool hustler Danny McGoorty had...) is maybe wrong. It is the article about magazine.-- Freetrashbox ( talk) 02:48, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Article states that Katsura and Greenleaf sailed for the US in 1951 on the Breckinridge. Follow the link; the Breckinridge was decomissioned and sold in 1946. c. elhardt — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celhardt ( talk • contribs) 04:44, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Is there anything known about her life during the war? It seems unlikely to me that anyone living in Japan during WWII could have been completely unaffected. 204.119.140.66 ( talk) 14:35, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
