Talk:Eleanor Beardsley

Article lacks photograph

Does anyone own the copyright to a photo of Eleanor Beardsley or know of any that exist in the public domain? I would like to add a photo of the subject to this article, but I do not own the rights to any photos of her and cannot seem to find any in the public domain. I have twice reached out to the publisher of Columbia Metropolitan Magazine (referenced in the article) to request to use a photo published there, but there has been no response.

Major update July 2022

I have just published a major update to this article, significantly expanding it from a stub to a full, properly sourced article with significant information added that conforms to the Wikipedia standards for biographies of living persons. As such, I have removed the "Stub" notice box. L'être et le néant (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Early Life Produces Unusual Accent

As a born and bred lifetime North Carolinian myself, I can attest that I have never heard any of my fellow Southerners pronounce "law" in a fashion I would think a Delaware native would most accurately render "lawl". Unfortunately the link to the original quote by Ben Yagoda seems to have expired, so there may be no way of knowing what his layman's phonetic transcription of her pronunciation actually was. I was going to suggest changing the text to "lahw", but our distinctive diphthong is tougher to encode than I expected! I tried several IPA combinations; lɒːo may come the closest but still isn't quite right. OK, maybe STET is the best policy after all, at least until a trained linguist who's actually been south of the border can weigh in... --2603:6081:8002:AE78:C572:B691:B196:C08 (talk) 22:40, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
