[edit] Reasons for edit of 2008 April 10
Sarah Williams was neither American nor Australian, but British. The Old Astronomer appears in the 1872 edition of the posthumous collection Twilight Hours (I haven't yet checked the previous two editions). Williams also has an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Matthew Kilburn (talk) 17:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Reasons for revert of 2005 October 25
The editor who made the changes in late October, from IP address 82.47.136.8, must have a different Sarah Williams in mind, since he or she changed every relevant fact except the name of the poet and her poem. If there is indeed serious dispute about whether the author of The Old Astronomer to His Pupil is American or Australian, and whether she was born in 1837 or 1982, please respond here. I have internet references that support the former version, and can find none that support the latter.
I'm willing to concede the possibility that I made a big mistake, but I'd like to see some support for the changes.
