I read the source, and it is reliably cited. However, I am not at all clear how one dies from carbon monoxide (CO) poising by immersing one's head in an oven venting natural gas. Does anyone have any insights? CO is the product of combustion. Had the oven been lighted, she would have been burned - but she wasn't. So where did the CO come from?

The article title makes sense, but why don't we include her legal name in the opening paragraph? I know her husband's surname is a point of contention among some of her fans and feminists, but should that have any bearing on an encyclopedia article?

No strong objections. But did she ever use "Sylvia Hughes"? As far as I know she never published under that name. Her gravestone does have "Sylvia Plath Hughes", however. I'm thinking that a similar case might be Pam Ayres (although Dudley Russell is a theatre producer). Martinevans123 (talk) 17:41, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just to remind editors there have been two previous discussions, on the most appropriate format for this description, one in each of the two archives. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:12, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
