[edit] Why reduce the biography

Whe was the information about the start of his career in Minnesota removed? Just curious. Grika Ⓣ 14:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

i'm wondering if the information about how Wilson was a awarded a degree from Carnegie Library is correct. I'm doing a research paper on the man, and I didn't see any such findings on any other sources. - Alaska

[edit] Pulitzer?

Did he win the Pulitzer for something specific, or just his work in general. And when? --Chris Griswold 13:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

1987 for Fences' --Chris Griswold 13:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

And 1990 for The Piano Lesson - both awards were the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Swango 19:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed "Films" section

I removed the following section (quoted in its entirety) because it was contributed by an IP address associated with California Newsreel. Maybe the information should be included somehow, but I don't know. If it is relevant and worthy of inclusion, I leave it to the regular contributors to this article to determine how it should be included and put it back. -- ke4roh 02:21, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
