Takei Hosato

Japanese Wikipedia says this is Japanese: 武井穂郷 -- 70.52.10.192 (talk) 09:18, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual assault

Takei's sexual assault allegation section needs a serious reconsideration within the scope of the article. Unlike other sexual assault cases, this one involves a single claim that has been denied by Takei and been further scrutinized upon further investigation (please see [1]). Per WP:BLP, we need to be careful with how content is covered in Wikipedia regarding living people. I propose to remove the section (thereby removing it from the table of contents) and to reduce its contents within another part of the article, placing greater care in providing proper balance for the information.--MarshalN20 ^✉🕊 02:46, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd actual support removing all mentions of it. Feels like a WP:NOTNEWS issue, the sole allegation (since partially changed) didn't have the same effect that other post-Weinstein allegations did.LM2000 (talk) 05:09, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a relevant part of his personal life, as it has affected his public image and career, so deleting it is not necessarily a suitable answer. Nonetheless, placing undue emphasis on it is also not appropriate. Regards.--MarshalN20 ^✉🕊 23:22, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

diagnosis murder?

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)[reply]

Headers in italics

Are the headers under personal life and activism italicized on purpose? 104.241.44.198 (talk) 04:23, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
