Elizabeth Handley-Seymour

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in her Coronation gown, 1937

Mrs. Patrick Campbell as Eliza Doolittle

Created by Mabalu (talk). Self-nominated at 10:00, 16 April 2015 (UTC).

  • Comment: File:Mrs Patrick Campbell as Eliza Doolittle.png is the image for the second hook. It doesn't look too bad at the thumbnail size either. I know the proposed image is actually a cropped version of the image in the article, which I think ought to be permissible...
  • Comment - Maybe the first hook could go up on 12th May as the Coronation took place that day in 1937? Frustratingly I've just realised I NARROWLY missed the 101th anniversary of the UK premiere of Pygmalion (11 April!) for the second hook! Mabalu (talk) 10:08, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Any ideas how to modify the hook so that readers aren't confused into thinking that the current queen was inaugurated in 1937 (and, trust me, plenty of readers will be so confused). EEng (talk) 04:52, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Hmm. Maybe:

The problem is that she wasn't the QM at the time, so I don't know what to say. EEng (talk) 12:41, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
I did ponder that too. It's an article I am very pleased with so I really want it to have credit. I think anyone who clicks through, if they hadn't realised already, will swiftly realise it's not THAT Queen Elizabeth - especially as it's specified in the lede as the 1937 Coronation, and not the 1953 one. Mabalu (talk) 14:04, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, but I'm still interested in seeing if anyone has a clever way of indicating her shifting title succinctly. EEng (talk) 14:18, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
