Talk:Elinor Otto

"was a Rosie the Riveter"?
Hi, re "if you read the linked article", it says "Rosie the Riveter is an allegorical cultural icon in the United States who represents the women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II,". Would it make sense to say "Elinor Otto (October 28, 1919 – November 12, 2023) was an American factory worker who was an original allegorical cultural icon in the United States who represents the women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II,"?

 * I saw "Rosie the Riveter" being used as a noun phrase in the sources. Of course it wouldn't make sense if its description were substituted.  signed, Willondon (talk)  03:17, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hm, I hadn't considered or seen it being used like a noun, and I still think the current phrasing could be confusing, especially to readers who don't know the context. You are right that a lot of sourcing does use similar phrasing, so I guess it's technically fine. Eddie891 Talk Work 18:19, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I see how it can be confusing. It's good we have the Wikilink right up front, since I'm sure the phrase isn't known worldwide. I added quotes around "Rosie the Riveter" so it scans more readily as a noun phrase. As I said in my edit comment: "please revert if you don't think it an improvement".

 * I think the quotes are helpful, thanks for adding them. Eddie891 Talk Work 19:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
