Untitled[edit]

As you mentioned on this discussion page, you'll definitely want to restructure this article. You'll probably want to start with a stub of about 250 words and then break further detail into sections like this: (early life, education, work/contributions/design, death/legacy and possibly a gallery) This will make it not only easier to write but also will make it easier to pick out information for readers. You should also put an info box on the side with a central image. Structurally it needs work but otherwise this is good. EDIT: Apologies for signing wrong at first. --MYoung1030 (talk) 00:51, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Need photograph of Muriel Cooper[edit]

Although somebody made a brave effort to produce a sketch of Muriel Cooper, it is not a good likeness. I should know, as I worked in her department at MIT Press during the summer of 1970, and saw her around the MIT campus for many years after. Sadly, it is impossible to make a new photo of her now, but somebody must have a rights-cleared picture they can upload to Wikipedia. Reify-tech (talk) 18:08, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, User:Jfcarrano, for finding a usable photo of Muriel Cooper. Reify-tech (talk) 21:10, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
