Photo on the page
editHi all, I just added a photo of The San Francisco Fountain, a piece by Asawa. I'm fairly new to posting photos, so I wasn't sure how to link it to her site. I found the information at http://www.ruthasawa.com/visit.html. Matthew (wmf) (talk) 23:56, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Birthday – January 27 vs. January 24
editAsawa's birthday is in dispute. This article (and a general Google search) indicates that her birthday is January 24. However, an anon changed her birthday to January 27 per a page behind a paywall. Does anyone have any insight on this matter?--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 02:43, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- I am skeptical of information behind paywalls and generally do not think they should be usedPurplethree (talk) 00:27, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- The website is not behind a paywall, I am able to sign in (without payment) and see the webpage link. They are citing the birth certificate from the State of California, vital statistics with a late issue date from 1968. Jooojay (talk) 06:30, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- Also, if one performs a search at Google Books, one can find a number of books that state that her birthday is January 27th . . . in addition to others that state that her birthday is January 24th. This being the case, I would lean towards relying on the date supported by a birth certificate. — Myasuda (talk) 12:43, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

- I was trying to find any Wikipedia policy on this scenario and not doing a great job at it. Has anyone found anything? Logically I would imagine the oldest document - such as a 1968 issued birth certificate may be the preferred evidence (which would be DOB:January 27) but I would be curious what WP policy says. Jooojay (talk) 20:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- I think a birth certificate would be the ultimate source, but we can double check and ask with the reference desk and reliable sources noticeboard. Have you found one? I know a number are now available online. Also if you see a death certificate, please share that too. There is some question about that as well as you wrote below. Thank you for checking on this Bkbray (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Date of death – August 6 vs. August 5
editThe SFGate article states the date of death was August 5th in the evening,[1] but the New York Times article stated August 6th.[2] Does anyone know how to resolve this? Jooojay (talk) 06:08, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
