In the process of re-writing the Fred Wilson article! Yes, much was taken from the http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/wilson/index.html, article, but I also rewrote much of it and used a number of other sources. I will change more now! Sorry, I am new to this and thought that I could just save what I had, and come back later to change it. You guys are really fast since I only saved this a few minutes ago!

Ok, I've added the {{hangon}} tag so don't worry, administrators should see this and give you time. I appreciate your efforts, I hope your edits solves this and wish you the best. He does seem like an interesting person. Delta Tango • Talk 04:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I really think that I have made enough changes and additions of new information that no one could claim that this article is copying any other article. I have cited 3 different sources with different info from each. I've also added in some of my own personal views and have rewritten every line except the direct quotes. Again, I had no idea that you guys scan over these new entries so quickly and thought that I could just "save" what I had, and come back later to change, update, and add various footnotes. I will not "save" any writing again until I have completely rewritten it somewhere else and then just paste it in here.White Krane 06:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

A lot of Wikipedians watch Special:Newpages and take a quick review of new articles, but sometimes it's a matter of chance which articles get seen early and which go undetected for a while. It wasn't my intent to upset you with my notice, I didn't realize you were still editing the article. And yes, you're right in that it's ok to save changes and come back and edit later, as long as it's a positive contribution you don't have to worry about leaving an anything in a perfect state. This is a Wiki, and yes, much of the point is to be able to work incrementally towards better articles.

But as it was a copyright issue, I'd thought it was best to make sure it wasn't staying this way, so it wouldn't be forgot and remain unnoticed. But now that you've solved the problem, there's nothing to worry about. Thanks a lot for you contributions, and again, I'm sorry if I've upset you. Delta Tango • Talk 06:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
