Hello!

I think it´s a very bad picture of Chen- don´t you have another? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexbugday (talk • contribs) 18:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

"backstabbing Weaver" to "Weaver" in Season 8 section. Inappropriate for multiple reasons - not true to the content (Weaver in fact had stepped in for Chen during the first hearing of the case), unethic due to the reasons why Weaver had left her pager in the restroom (discussing personal matters with an investigator regarding her mother) and an irrelevant judge of Weaver's character Iceness (talk) 02:31, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Deb short for Debra

Maybe it's worth mentioning, that during the time of season one Jing-Mei actually calls herself Debra and that Deb is only short for that. This can be seen in episode 15 "Feb 5, '95" where she gives a talk in the surgical meeting with the title "Facial Fractures By Debra Chen".84.152.171.6 (talk) 15:46, 26 June 2013 (UTC) Moreover in episode 16 "Make of Two Hearts" she introduces herself to Wendy Goldman as "I'm Debra Chen". (Being under the influence of LSD chocolates at that time she doesn't know that Wendy of course already knows her.) 84.152.180.188 (talk) 16:28, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Negative adoption language

Despite at least one person's objection I have changed the language from "given up for adoption" to "placed for adoption". Given up is a negative and offensive term to the adoptive community. It has been replaced by "placed for adoption" since that term is a neutral statement of fact and not something that infers things about a situation that may not be true. "Given up" is seen as something that portrays birth parents in a negative light and suggests that placing a child for adoption is an easy and callous thing to do. Whereas birth parents, like the fictional Jing-Mei Chen, think deeply about these decisions and they often come with a lot of pain. 'Giving up' is not an accurate term on this wikipedia page or anywhere else. Zeieg (talk) 12:11, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
