Television list[edit]

I think the television list would be better if each role had a separate line. The current version is confusing and does not scan well. Snowman (talk) 10:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly, but it is passable as is. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Maile, well you wouldn't think you'd be accessing a filmography through that bolded link. I suggest:

Danger Man[edit]

Regarding the 1961 Danger Man episode. The IP who deleted it left the edit summary, "The "Danger Man" episode referenced is not THE Anna May Wong, but another actress of the same name. The author Hodges never did his due diligence. A check of IMDB will confirm this easily." Please be advised per Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources#Questionable resources, Wikipedia does not accept IMDb as a reliable source. However, a check in the Jeffrey Richards book China and the Chinese in Popular Film: From Fu Manchu to Charlie Chan does indicate that this Anna May Wong in Danger Man was a different and younger actress. I have removed the title from the filmography. — Maile (talk) 13:28, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
