I've listed this article for peer review because I am hoping to get this article to move beyond "start" class! I would love to get photographs of her on this page but I cannot find any free images. I know there are photographs of Mira as a child in the Japanese internment camps and with her father in their home in PA but I am not familiar enough with how to get free images from government websites to do this! I am worried right now this article is too focused on her father, although she is notable in her own right as an internally-renown furniture maker. I have never requested a peer review before and any insight into improving this page would be very helpful! Thank you, Terasaface (talk) 15:56, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

I've not been able to find any creative commons images of Mira online at a cursory glance. I'll have a more in-depth look tomorrow. Homeostasis07 (talk/contributions) 01:12, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

: Regarding images, I'm afraid I've not been able to find any of her under the creative commons share-alike commercial-use-allowed license. Your best bet would be to contact the uploader – seems to be a relation of Mira's – of these images ([https://www.flickr.com/photos/shantiamagasu/2638298286/] and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/shantiamagasu/3779820799/]) and ask them to manually change the license to "creative commons share-alike commercial-use-allowed", so you can then upload either of them to this website. If that's unsuccessful, you could probably get away with uploading one of those images under the non-free attribution license, since there seems to be no chance of finding any other sort of usable image. Outside of the creative commons zone, I doubt there's a public domain/government website-hosted image of her as an adult outside of the internment camps for anyone to find. I hope this review has helped you in your stated aims. Good luck editing! ;) Homeostasis07 (talk/contributions) 00:33, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

:: Thank you so much, {{u|Homeostasis07}}!! This is all great information and I am excited to research more and expand her page! I will ping you again here if I have any other questions as I am going through this. Thank you!! Terasaface (talk) 18:07, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
