Hi there. I'd like to welcome you to Wikipedia (even though you've been around for a few months; oh well), and to address the issue of the Ernest Angley article - it's fairly clear that you care very much about having it look good.

I'm not going to dispute the changes you've made to the article's content. However, you made a rather serious error in the formatting: by copying-and-pasting from a previous version, you converted the entire article into plaintext. Similarly, although it is important to cite your sources, you should never cite a previous version of the same article; that's just pointless.

I've reverted the article to the properly-formatted version and incorporated some of the new references you provided; as to the statements you removed because you felt they were controversial, I'm not qualified to judge. Before you make any more major changes to any articles (such as reverting an article to a previous version), I strongly suggest you read Help:Reverting. DS 14:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dragonfly...! First of all, thank you for pointing out the problem with formatting. Second, I don't recall or see where I cited a previous version as a source. The only sources I intended to cite were to outside websites or pdf files. If I unintentially copied someone elses then that's my mistake. And, as far as the so-called controversy section that someone wanted to start without provided sources, it didn't make any sense and was an obvious attempt to discredit based on their own feelings, doubts or disbelief. The plane that they said was extravagant wasn't viewed by them, nor investigated. Its configuration and modifications by a former owner are detailed in the website www.747sp.com which I cited. Articles about people should stick to the facts. Wikipedia isn't a forum to discuss our own beliefs or disbeliefs about a subject, but just a place to present sourced facts, as I'm sure you agree. I thought Wikipedia allows items to be removed if they can't be sourced, including uncited remarks. I'm a beginner, so I'm still learning. I could claim that Abraham Lincoln was controversial because some may say that he had ten wives, and of course that can't be sourced because it isn't true. Therefore discrediting remarks like that with no facts cited should be removed. Thank you for properly formatting this article and refering me to the Help section. Shogon7 12 June 2006
