Common name

[edit]

Molly was a commonly used nickname for Mary, so much so I think the common nickname rule applies here and we should not put Molly in quotes in the lead but just call her Mary Ann Pearson, like we just call William Gates that and not William "Bill" Gates in the opening of the article on him.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:48, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Stop your forum shopping and misrepresenting the MOS. You made this argument on a different talk page and nobody agreed with you. Here, as elsewhere, it's a professional alias, as evidenced by the IBDB listings, and the MOS calls for its use. You don't like that part of the MOS? Go off and sulk in silence, and stop screwing up articles. 104.226.2.153 (talk) 20:50, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Innerleithan

[edit]

I thought this might be of interest. I have been researching into the sculptor Alexander Carrick who was working in Innerleithan, Scotland; and lodging at 49 High Street; in November 1913. In an undated letter to his fiance he states 'As you know Innerleithan is were "Bunty Pulls the Strings" found its origin and the dear Bunty herself stayed in this very room'. I assume this refers to the actress Molly Pearson who played the role and the landlady told Carrick that she lodged there with her mother and spent her time talking with the 'oldest inhabitants in the place'. I was wondering if she was studying the authentic, early 19th century local accents...a kind of early 20th century method acting? 149.5.50.15 (talk) 21:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
