Talk:Marie Tharp

message: What does this mean?
:The Story of the Remarkable Woman Who Mapped the Ocean Floor". It was cited by the New York Times for its standing as an "eloquent testament both to Tharp’s importance and to Felt’s powers of imagination."
That her historian helped the story along?
We have her own words for that:

thread_title:  Tacitus Complicitus? 

message: This main article photo shows Bruce Hezeen in a pose suggesting he's instructing Marie Tharp. Although Hezeen was very important in providing support to Tharp, she brought the vision and the persistence to prove the existence of the Mid Atlantic Rift. Hezeen was no more important than any of the 20 or so women who worked alongside Tharp.
May I suggest a photo where Tharp stands alone? Perhaps photographer Bruce Gilbert will give permission to use a beautiful 2001 shot on Columbia University's website?

Or another photo could be selected. With a campaign on women scientists in STEM (#WomenInSTEM) trending on Twitter so we can make girls feel they have a future in the sciences, a less patriarchal cover photo for this article is in order.

thread_title:  Less patriarchal / patronizing cover photo for article 

message: Please change the photo. I don't have an account and I'm incompetent to edit Wiki, but that photo has got to go. It's patronizing, and she's a feminist icon. 
Here's a public domain photo credited to the Library of Congress

replies: text: that is a bit mischaracterizing.  the article in newstatesman is about gender bias in Wikipedia. And this wikipedia page appears in the newstatesman article. but this article is not mentioned as any sort of example of gender bias in wikipedia, just a page that someone in the article has edited.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.220.7.244 (talk) 01:21, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page mentioned as example of gender bias 

message: FYI, I've just replaced the image used in the infobox of this article. The photo it replaces, :File:Tharp & Heezen.jpg, is likewise a non-free photo, and has a couple problems as people have noted elsewhere on this talk page. For one, it's a profile that actually shows less of the subject. Second, the image appears to be Heezen teaching Tharp about the map as though the map isn't her work. Seems like a fine image for his article, where it is still used, but there's this great image of her that's better in both respects. Thanks to  for identifying the opportunity and the better image. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:07, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone!
I was wondering if there is any missing topic in Mary Tharp biography that really needs to be covered.
