- Interestin life, on good sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and the perfect illustration if we stay with the original hook that I prefer. The ALT speaks about something rather exceptional in her life, it seems. Should we name the show in the image caption? ... or at least say that it's in a role? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:09, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
- Gerda, thanks for the review. No, I'd prefer to keep the caption short and sweet. Yoninah (talk) 18:08, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Melendo Ann Plowman
[edit]I've been looking for a reference confirming that she was born Melendo Ann Plowman and can't find one. Can you? Carptrash (talk) 19:00, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- This is what I found in the Texas Birth Index: [1]. Of course, we could regard it as a typo, as the Abilene Reporter-News reported her name as Melinda on the day of her birth. Yoninah (talk) 19:16, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Well . . . ...Texas. Carptrash (talk) 19:35, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- OK, fine with me to list her birth name as Melinda per the newspaper source. I didn't end up using the FamilySearch source anyway. Yoninah (talk) 19:43, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Well . . . ...Texas. Carptrash (talk) 19:35, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
