She folded more than 1,300 cranes. http://www.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/virtual/VirtualMuseum_e/exhibit_e/exh0107_e/exh01075_e.html Woofles 00:11, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Given that there are so many sources saying that she fell short of 1,000, I think we must at least mention that version of the story. JamesMLane 02:03, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I personally think, that museum's source is more reliable. On the other hand, I can say, that 644 version is popular not only in English sources, but also, for example, in Russian ones. It should certainly be present here. Cmapm 13:56, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photo?

If someone will find Sadako's public domain photo, please, upload it here, this article certainly lacks it! Cmapm 20:15, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

There is a photo of her on sadako.org (linked from this entry). Is this the one you are referring to?

There is a portrait of Sadako with this name: Sadako Sasaki Portrait Age 12.jpg. However, with the graphics intensive nature of this page, I couldn't get the images to behave. Perhaps someone with more wikitalent than I can include this photo without messing up the page as badly as I did when I tried it?

OK, I've rearranged the pictures again. A left side lead image is unusual, but in this case with a tall a narrow portrait it becomes an option. In truth you can only place images easily if there is sufficient text to support them. -- Solipsist 6 July 2005 06:43 (UTC)

You are right, that does look a lot better. Thanks! -- Shinmawa

[edit] Book of letters?

After her death, her friends and schoolmates published a collection of letters...

What is the publishing info on the book? It may not be in print anymore, but it's worth including. If it was "self published" or photocopied or something, we should say that. --zandperl 02:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
