Sister O Sister

There's no mention of Yoko's sister Setsuko Ono in the article, for completeness. There's no wikipage for her either. She's an accomplished artist in her own right and recently credited John Lennon with encouraging her to concentrate more on art and less on banking. Hotcop2 (talk) 22:59, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Headings and Sections

The heading for Public Image should be "Public Image" or "Criticism" either are fine. Putting down "Sexism of the Press" is not appropriate. It is an opinion not a fact and has no place in an encyclopedia. Freshacconci has reverted several times now from multiple user edits.

Additionally, the entire public image section needs work from someone a bit more experienced than me. I don't see how Tony Romo is relevant enough to Yoko Ono that it should be included in the article.

The "Public Appreciation" is also strange to have as a heading for an encyclopedia. The entire section reads like a recruitment for a cult of personality. If you read that section you would get the impression Yoko Ono is a popular person, not a widely despised figure. I don't see how anything is that section is relevant to a bio on Yoko Ono. The entire section should be nuked imo.

Parts of this article come off as written by people that have a massive bias towards Yoko Ono or sockpuppets. The entire article needs to be semi-protected and needs to be edited by a neutral experienced user.

The biggest issue with this BLP article is the lack of verifiable sources for some of the content. An additional issue is that considerable amounts of content seem to be WP:UNDUE. I think compliance with GAC#3b would be obtained with some trimming of low-relevance info, esp. in the later life section. (t · c) buidhe 07:17, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Categories

I removed some categories that were incorrect and/or not applicable. One that would be correct is U.S. Residents/Green Card holders, which isn't there. I tried to find the correct "category" for that. If someone knows how to do that, please do. Hotcop2 (talk) 22:27, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Short description edits

as per MOS:SDDATES, a birth date for a living person should only be included in the short description if the birth date is sourced in the article, which it is not in this article, so I've removed it. Also, Ono has permanent residency in the US and should be described as a Japanese American, I think. Matuko (talk) 14:29, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Agreed but all and any correction/editing has been blocked. Very democratic. Mag Wildwood (talk) 22:33, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Genre: Performance artist?

Under "musical career" in the infobox, one of her music styles is listed as "performance artist"? That's not a genre of music. RockabillyRaccoon (talk) 09:23, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Personal

She had a daughter from her marriage to the Japanese businessman 109.255.139.15 (talk) 09:12, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Does anyone know if Ono was involved with theater management at any time? Artificial Nagger (talk) 04:39, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Anthony Cox

Here described as "an American jazz musician, film producer, and art promoter". I cross referenced and only found mention that he was indeed a film producer and art promoter. I believe here he may be confused with a much younger Anthony Cox listed as a jazz musician. I do not want to edit without approval of an overseer as I am not even sure I know how and I want to be in agreement before I would do that. Njbrucetx (talk) 09:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Here is Anthony Cox, jazz musician: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Cox_(musician). He and the identically named husband of Yoko Ono are very obviously two different people. I'm fixing this. Dgndenver (talk) 19:09, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
