Hi. Luckily I saw your recent addition asking me about copyright issues regarding the article. I'll be glad to walk through this with you, but we might need to communicate back and forth a little bit.

First off, if the text is coming from the producers of the film, for legal reasons we actually would like to have written permission directly from the producers (email will suffice). The automated message I left you above explains the process for that. The same goes for the film posters and screencaps.

Second off, articles with content written by the creators themselves usually comes off as sounding too much like an advertisement when it's written in an encyclopedia. We strive for neutrality; when reading Wikipedia, it should be like reading a newspaper or book (without the ads of course!). This case is not an exception; reading the article sounds like an advertisement to watch the film, not a review of it.

A good start for the article might be something like this:
 * Wings of Silver: The Vi Cowden Story is a 2011 documentary about Vi Cowden, the first women in the United States to fly military planes. It was independently produced and directed.
 * ==Plot==
 * The film starts (... description goes here).

Does this make sense so far? Sorry about any problems you've been having. Some of us have been on the internet and on Wikipedia so long that we forget how daunting it is at first. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:31, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

thanks Magog the Ogre - it makes a little sense, especially the part about making it more of a review. I will start on that this weekend and will take our synopsis off for now. You mentioned about leaving a way to communicate with you by "The automated message I left you above explains the process for that". Again, I'm not seeing it, it really isn't obvious, everything I clicked on didn't take me somewhere where I could fill things out. So I am trying this and hoping for the best. As to sending you an email from me and my husband, the Producers, Directors and everything else that has to do with the documentary telling you that we give permission to put our own information up on the web. I appreciate you staying calm while I am going crazy, but I work from home all by myself and don't really have ANYONE to ask for help. The language used on Wikipedia is really like Greek. I really think you guys should have a novice go through it with you and show you how UN-user friendly it is... or is that on purpose? Thanks Christine

Hi MTO - I figured it out... took me a while to figure out how to get to the right "read" page, but I found the email address for sending our permission for creating the article and for use of the Poster jpg. Thanks again for your help. I hope that I am getting it down! :)
