Couldn't we use a better picture of Meiling, instead of her as Psylocke? 96.243.0.145 (talk) 22:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
External links[edit]
The mei-melancon.com link appears to be a self-published website only containing photos and almost certainly violating copyright. Even if it isn't a copy-vio site we are attempting to create a Free content encyclopedia. Linking to non-free photos on other websites dilutes the leverage we have to convince living people to release free images, we should be asking them for images for commons not simply linking off to non-free material. And the superherohype.com site provides no encyclopedic info about Meiling and is primarily about the X3 movie. It's not even a decent link for that article - it certainly shouldn't be on this page. -- SiobhanHansa 23:19, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Poor Citations[edit]
Hi Wikipedians!! I just came across this article and took a look at many of the citations. The citations themselves seem to be pretty thin. Where the citations are accurate and legitimate, they don't seem to be substantial. Should this person even be on Wikipedia? I didn't want to insert eh Unreferenced template because the piece does contain a couple of references. Curious to know how best to proceed. Coffee312 (talk) 19:28, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Reliability of philstar.com[edit]
source: https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2006/06/01/339616/do-you-know-dad-pinay-hollywood-actress I'm fairly certain that some of the information from this article is incorrect. Is this the philstar considered a reliable source, and would others object if I remove this source from the article? Sam-2727 (talk) 01:24, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Sam-2727: This statement in that source is false: "In fact, Mei is part-Japanese, part-Chinese, part-French and part-Filipino."
- She is not part-Filipino. She was just born there, and moved away when she was two years old. Her parents aren't Filipino either; her mother is French and her father is Chinese and Japanese. She has confirmed this herself in VRTS ticket # 2020082210006981.
- @Ortizesp: You added that citation. I have left it in place, but I have removed an irrelevant statement about her parentage and all the Filipino-related categories.
- For my part, I have no objection to removing the citation altogether. If it got one fact wrong, it may have other facts wrong. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:18, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
